Delissio - Rustico Spinach

Continuing with our log of frozen pizzas, this is Delissio’s Rustico series. This is advertised as having a stone ground thin crust.

The pizza is sealed tight inside a plastic bag.  One thing we first noticed was the abundant amount of cheese.  This was a simple pizza with lots of spinach and some onions.

All our pizzas are cooked in a conventional convection Black and Decker table top oven at 400 degrees F.  Normally we cook for 10 minutes, then we spin the pizza around  to ensure equal cooking for another 6-7 minutes.  

The result on this one was a tad overcooked as you can see the browning on one side.  Perhaps next time we need to keep it under 14 minutes.

Despite the overcooked pizza, this thin stone ground crust was still very tasty. It was just a bit crispier than our Greek Rustico, but the crust did not taste burned at all nor was it cardboard like.  Again, it felt like the crust was freshly kneaded!  It had a perfect balance of toppings and more than enough cheese. 

The Rustico series has now become one of our favorites.  Price wise, you can find it for under $5 at local supermarkets when on sale.
