"Real Good" Pizza, is it microwavable?

No stores near me carry real good pizza, but you can buy it by the case online shipped with dry ice.

Question, what are the cooking directions? My google-fu is failing me. Best I can find is that some people like to use a combination of the microwave and a frying pan. Are these frozen chicken crust pizzas suitable for a microwave in a "bring to office lunch" type situation?

Thanks all!

    Indeed!

    Yes, you can microwave a pre-cooked pizza IFF you don't mind a rubbery crust that has to be eaten with a knife and fork. I have been known to do this with leftover pizza for breakfast but my standards, at the time, were very low.

    Microwaving a raw or partially cooked pizza crust would result in a gummy, tasteless abomination. IMHO, flour needs the maillard reaction to taste decent.

    "I just tried this in the microwave and I would highly suggest cooking it in the oven instead. It is 1000 times better. If you’re short on time, it was fine in the microwave but I definitely prefer it cooked in the oven."

    Microwave pizza isn't worth the calories. :(

    Oh, it's not pizza. It's chicken with pizza toppings. Probably not terrible in the microwave.

    Has anyone here actually tried it though? The macros on it look amazing. I can't find an image of the box to find out the cooking directions (ie, if microwave is even mentioned or not). I suppose I can just email them and ask.

    Actually, I just finished eating one. It's quite good. I don't want to microwave it, but the package does say you can. I've had the pepperoni and the plain. It's definitely different than real pizza, but for only 4 carbs, I'm not complaining. They ARE high in sodium, but I do recommend them if the sodium is not an issue for you

    This makes me sad :(
    Crust is what makes a pizza, replacing that with chicken (or cauliflower for that matter) is not something I want to do. If I wanted chicken with cheese I would just make chicken with cheese without resorting to calling it pizza. And it would probably taste better too.

    I feel the same way about tofu bacon. :s

    It does NOT taste like chicken. It does taste like pizza. But hey, if it's not for you, it's not for you

    I have to admit, I was not confident that I would like them but they were very good. No it's not a true pizza crust, but someone that has to control carbs and protein (diabetic, crohn's, gastric sleeve) it was very good Truthfully it's a frozen pizza .... very rarely do you have a frozen pizza with a crispy crust unless it has the crisping tray. The enchilada's are good also. Still want to try the breakfast pizzas.

    I've tried their pizza and enchiladas. I think they both taste pretty good. My boyfriend is not a fan. I take them to work and microwave. It has worked for me just fine. It's definitely not the same thing as pizza, but I like the flavors.

    Totally my stuck up opinion: microwaving a pizza of any nature is a violation of all that is sacred and holy. Save these for home.
    BTW: if you have a barbie, any pizza cooked on it, will approach more closely the heavens.

    It's not really pizza anyway.....it's a chicken breast with sauce and cheese.
