American Flatbread Pizza – Vegan Harvest

Posted on by

Thomas noticed this pizza eyeing us from the freezer section the last time we were at Whole Foods, so I grabbed two boxes to try.

I must say, after a lot of searching, I have finally found my favorite vegan frozen pizza!

I’m not sure how long they’ve been making the vegan harvest, because it’s made with delicious Daiya goodness, but I hope they always continue to do so! The name is a litle deceiving, because the “harvest” part makes me think it should have a bunch of veggies on top. However, the “flatbread” part translates to a thin, wood fired earthen oven baked, perfect crust, that actually has a crust all the way around! Big points for that too, as I hate frozen pizzas without a border (I’m looking at you Tofurky!) . Not only that, but it doesn’t taste like a plain ole cheese frozen pizza. It’s got a lovely garlic thing going on too.

This is my new, cheaper answer to ordering delivery. Which is really important for me, because as much as I crave raw foods from my green smoothie drinking, the backlash is that I also crave pizza! ; )

Right now you can get a $1 off coupon from their website too that’s valid through 2012, so print away! I would love to see an additional vegan option with some of the gourmet toppings they have on their cheese pizzas like caramelized onions and sun dried tomatoes. For now I’m thrilled about this new find.

Have you tried it? What did you think? What’s your favorite frozen vegan pizza?

Whole Foods 365 Vegan Gluten-Free Rice Crust Pizza

So here is my follow up to my review of their whole wheat crust version.  This was surprisingly great! Not only was the crust delicious, but the toppings were plentiful! Same great sauce and veggies as the whole wheat one. I’m not the gluten-free type, but I think I may have liked this just as much, if not better than the whole wheat one. I topped it with nutritional yeast, oregano, crushed red peppers and a handful of Daiya mozzarella before baking.

SO GOOD! And a wonderful, quick lunch.

PS – I bake for 10 minutes, at 425* on my toaster oven’s convection setting.

Whole Foods 365 Frozen Vegan Pizza

So here is the third of my reviews of new vegan frozen options. These little personal pizzas are Whole Foods’ 365 house label’s new offerings. They are well priced, and come in whole wheat or gluten free rice crust. No fake cheese here, which may be a plus for some, no soy, and the only allergen in this one is wheat.

The toppings were not really very plentiful. (EDIT: to be fair, the second one I bought had WAY more toppings! this is probably not the norm!!!)

I decided to sprinkle on a little nutritional yeast and a generous amount of Daiya mozzarella before cooking.


The results were really good! I liked the crust, the sauce was tasty, and the veggies were a good combination (although they could have used more!).


Tofurky Frozen Pizzas, Pepperoni & Sausage, a review

I was so excited to take this one for a test drive, especially since I read the back of the box and found out they’re using Daiya cheese.

The back of the box also proudly boasts that this is the 1st frozen vegan pepperoni pizza available. The thing you have probably already noticed is the pepperoni not sliced as you would expect, but instead cut into plentiful tiny cubes.  No problem there, but they didn’t really leave any crust, and I am definitely into crust, so I was a little dissapointed.

The baked result was good, and the pepperoni was really tasty. It was also good cold, the next day! My main complaint is that it’s the typical sucky thin crust common to most cheap conventinal frozen pizzas. With an $8 price tag though, I probably won’t be buying this again. I’ll just throw some Yve’s sliced pepperoni on a [Daiya] cheesier pizza if I get the urge.

I had also purchased their Italian Sausage and roasted vegetable pizza. This one was actually really delicious. Same thin crust, obviously, but the combination of veggies was really good, and it was cheesier.

I ate about 2/3 of the pizza before I noticed a hair sticking out of part of it. That’s right. A hair that looked nothing like mine. So I ended up dumping out that last portion by where I found it. Too bad, I hate to waste yummy food. :/

So yah, that, along with the too thin crust, and $8 price tag, will probably dissuade me from purchasing again. I thought I’d give them a try though. I like their other products like italian sausage, bratts, and pre-seasoned tempeh.

Anyone else try these? or the cheese one?
