Has anyone else tried these https://www.redbaron.com/thin-crust-singles-pizza.htm they are so good and like 5 carbs per pizza. I know how much I missed it so figured I would share.

    Interesting. I wonder how they manage it. I might try just to see what happens. Thanks!

    I actually emailed them yesterday since the numbers aren't adding up to me. I've had them three days in a row though and it hasn't changed my keto at all
  • I've wanted to try their four cheese one but can't get them in Canada, Least I haven't found anywhere that has them yet :cry:

    Rats. I just scoured the freezer case for these and only found really high carb varieties of Red Baron. Most were individual pan or deep dish, but still, I do wonder if they messed up the numbers. Every pizza box I picked up had about 40-50 carbs and only a couple of grams of fiber per serving. I'll probably just wait till I reach my goal and eat pizza for once-a-week carb days!

    I've checked three different stores in my area, and cant find them. They only seem to carry the deep dish pizzas. :brokenheart:

    I also checked the counts on some of their other normal pizzas and they consistently under listed calories. So I wouldn't trust the nutrition facts on any of their products.

    I agree with other posters. Something is off here.

    They claim 300 calories, with 16 g fat, 6 g carb, 12 g protein.

    Fat Calories = 16*9=144
    Carb Calories = 6*4=24
    Protein Calories = 12*4 = 48
    Total Calories based on macro nutrients identified = 216

    I wouldn't eat this. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

    Same here...

    11.7% of serving size is Proteins
    15.6% of serving size is Fats
    .058% of serving size is Carbs

    27.3% of pizza serving = macro nutrients
    Rest of percentage = Fillers (preservatives/chemicals, vitamins/minerals) ...

    Not only that, you can tell something is off because they list "Calories from Fats" as 140... 16g Fat * 9 = 144 ...

    How does one pizza have less carbs than a slice of bread anyways??? It's main ingredient is Enriched wheat flour... so confused <_<;

    Wow! I so want to believe this nutrition info is true but, like many others here, I have my doubts. I'm going to try to find them though. Red Baron was my favorite brand of frozen pizza back when I was a CARBivore.

    In another group i'm in, someone wrote to the company and was told there was a mistake on the packaging :(

    Okay, I just called the 1-800 number on their webpage and asked about the carb count. They told me it's actually 7 carbs, not 6. That still sounds very low. They answered the question quickly so I wonder if they've gotten other calls about this. What do you all think?

    FYI - I asked specifically about the pepperoni one. I just noticed though that the cheese one is already listed as 7, so maybe that's where she got 7 from.

    Sounds they had others called about it. With the mistake pointed out I still wouldnt touch it... Better to make your own low carb pizza since you know what will be going into it.

    The counts have got to be off, unless it is a Eurpoean nutrient label. Cause fiber plus sugar should not be more than total carbs listed. Even so, I will look for these for my son, as we try to keep him lower carb. I wouldn't eat them myself.
