As the school year is winding to a close my calendar is bulging with things that have to get done before the lazy days of summer. It seems like I am running from one thing to the next. You know I am the kind of girl who likes to make everything from scratch, but I will confess there are times that even I give in and pull out a frozen pizza. Knowing that my schedule wouldn’t be getting in easier the next few weeks, when approached my Freschetta to do a review for their new Simply Inspired pizzas, I gladly accepted.
They sent me a coupon in the mail to try the pizza for free so I sent William and Jeffrey to the store with coupon in hand. (I told you I was busy. I am learning to delegate though.) They came home with not one but two pizzas. (The coupon was only good for one but they wanted to make sure we did our due diligence.) The flavors we tried were Rustic Pepperoni Pomodoro and Hawaiian Style.
So what did we think?
First the packaging…kudos to Freschetta for creating a cool package that uses 30% less packaging. Not only does it use less packaging but it is very easy to open and does not disturb the toppings when removing it from the package. (I find it frustrating sometimes when you are removing the shrink wrap on frozen pizza only to find that half the toppings come off at the same time.)
The pizzas had more than enough toppings and I liked that. The crust was superb in my opinion. I really enjoy a good thin crust and this one was super thin and crispy. I liked it. My favorite pizza was the Hawaiian Style. I really enjoyed the combination of flavors (bbq sauce, canadian bacon, bacon, and pineapple along with mozzarella cheese) and it worked well. Yummy actually! The Rustic Pepperoni Pomodoro while was a kid favorite, was not as appealing to me. The flavor was good but it seemed a little greasy in my opinion. Would I get them again? Probably so…I did really enjoy the Hawaiian Style so I could see myself throwing one in the freezer for a busy night.
The good news is that Freschetta not only gave me a coupon to try it for free but they are offering one to one of my readers as well as a cool cutting board. To enter please leave a comment letting me know what is your meal of choice on those super busy nights were you are zooming from one thing to the next. The winner will be chosen at random and notified by email. So good luck! Don’t worry if you aren’t the winner because you can get a coupon for $2 off by liking Freschetta on facebook.
I’m not going to lie. My meal of choice on busy nights is one of two things. 1) Frozen pizza, and I’m not just saying that because this is a Freschetta giveaway. 2) Soup and sandwiches with some fruit. Busy nights are the norm right now, and I, for one, can’t wait for school to be out so we can slow down a bit!
Usually on a busy night it is a frozen meal or soup/sandwich combo. If it is just a kind of busy, we have pasta with sauce…nothing special. Cant wait to try the pizza. The hawaiian looks great and the toppings we like!
I would have to say that my husband’s favorite “quick” meal would be homemade tuna salad sandwiches. He does however, really enjoy a good hawaiian pizza, so we will definitely be trying this brand soon.
Our quick night meals are usually quesadillas. We got a quesadilla maker a couple years ago as a gift and have tried all kinds of different ones!!!
These pizzas look very tasty! I have to admit my favorite meal when I am busy or unprepared to make a meal is take-out pizza. Maybe I should throw a couple of these in my freezer, just in case!
I’ll either make grilled cheese sandwiches or I might pop some corndogs into the oven for a quick dinner.
We like to have chicken in the freezer, previously cooked, to throw together poppy seed chicken or another type of chicken casserole.
I also like to make enchiladas when in a hurry.
A quick night dinner is either leftovers or spaghetti (we make two or three batches at a time and freeze them in small containers for those easy dinner nights)
Our favorite fast dinner is BLT sandwiches and either potato chips or fresh cut fruit (whichever we have at the moment). We love them because once the bacon is cooked it takes about 30 seconds to assemble dinner.
Spaghetti,i also keep frozen pizza in my freezer.for a busy night we also sometimes have tacos
thans
On those nights, we usually do quick sandwich’s or pizza. Very quick foods!
thanks for the giveaway!

First, Dinah, I have to tell you I love your website. A family member who lives on the other side of the country told me about over Facebook and we’ve tried many of your recipes–everything has been delicious. Secondly, my family just purchased two Freschetta Simply Inspired Pizzas, both were the margherita (I hope I spelled that correctly) flavor. My husband does not like pizza normally, but he did like this flavor and I think it was because it had a pesto sauce and not the standard tomato pizza sauce. Lastly, my favorite quick and easy thing to serve for dinner is either tacos or taco salad, because everyone in the house will eat it (we are a family of seven) and I can incorporate lots of veggies like lettuce, tomatoes or salsa, diced green chiles, diced cucumbers, etc. Even my picky teenager will eat a taco salad.
The Hawaiian is sweet…really, really sweet, like a dessert. Sugar-cured meats + pineapple was overkill. I prefer a savory pizza, so would not buy it again.
