The Best DiGiorno Pizzas

I love a snappy slogan as much as the next guy, but could a person really mistake a DiGiorno pizza for delivery? At the very least, are the best DiGiorno pizzas good enough to get you to preheat your oven when you could simply place an order for delivery in the Domino’s app? That’s what we set out to find out in our DiGiorno pizza taste test. 

How we picked the DiGiorno pizzas for our taste test

Did we try every single DiGiorno pizza, as in every crust-topping combo? No. Preparing 13-plus pizzas for our taste test was plenty. But we did try every DiGiorno crust style, from Classic to Rising Crust to Detroit style. 
We cooked all the pizzas in a proper oven and then tasted them back to back during our first-ever live taste test (which you should totally watch if you have three hours to spare—or skip to the DiGiorno taste test at the 20 minute mark). Some takeaways: DiGiorno Stuffed Crust is better than any of us remembered, DiGiorno’s meats taste much better than Red Baron’s (the sausage in particular), and their Detroit style crust is nearly unmatched, in case you’re currently standing in front of an open freezer door at the grocery store in the throes of decision paralysis. If you’re not, allow us to deliver some more deets about the best DiGiorno pizzas.

DiGiorno Pizza!

DiGiorno Loaded Ultra Thin Carnivore

Instacart

If you like Domino’s thin crust pizza, give DiGiorno’s Loaded Ultra Thin pizza a shot. The crust is very thin and crackery, but still sturdy enough to handle a load of toppings—in the case of the “Carnivore,” you’re looking at pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, and beef covering the pie from edge to edge. The pepperoni on all DiGiorno pizzas we tried is great—a little smoky, greasy but not too greasy—but we really loved the Canadian bacon on this one. It comes in nice thick slabs you can really sink your teeth into. One caveat here: Because this pie is “loaded,” there’s pretty much no crust of which to speak. If you love dunking your pizza bones in ranch or marinara, pick a different DiGiorno pizza.

DiGiorno Pizza!

DiGiorno Classic Crust Pepperoni

This DiGiorno pizza looks bad but tastes great. During our taste test, my colleague Jordan Myrick said, “I think it’s so unbelievably delicious in the most nostalgic way.” It has a great sauce to crust to cheese ratio, and the crust—which, tbh, looks like it would taste like cardboard—is actually buttery; it tastes amazing with the smoky pepperoni. It’s not the absolute best DiGiorno pizza—but it’s a classic for a reason.

DiGiorno Pizza!

DiGiorno Thin & Crispy Stuffed Crust Pepperoni & Sausage

Instacart

This is like the DiGiorno Stuffed Crust pizza you know and love, but with a skinnier crust, if that makes sense. Naturally, there’s less cheese in this stuffed crust, but it’s still really fun. Could the cheese in the crust be a little more flavorful to make up for there being less of it? Yeah, I think so. But the fennel-y, savory sausage, which could go head-to-head against the sausage from your favorite chain, really won us over. This DiGiorno pizza is indulgent without being too, too heavy and we like that.

DiGiorno Pizza!

DiGiorno Pepperoni Stuffed Crust

Instacart

I’ve always been a stuffed crust naysayer, but this DiGiorno pizza turned things around for me. Maybe they started using tastier cheese. Maybe eating packaged food around the clock has permanently altered my brain chemistry. Either way, I’m a fan of DiGiorno Stuffed Crust pizza now. And we’re ranking the pepperoni version because their peps are so dang good. Another win: This pizza has lots of sauce. Frozen pizzas are almost always undersauced, but DiGiorno really nails its ratios.

Best of the Best

DiGiorno Detroit Style Crust Double Pepperoni

Instacart

I’m a forever fan of Pizza Hut personal pan pizzas, and that’s exactly what DiGiorno Detroit Style pizza reminds me of. The crust is thick and pillowy, and, because you cook it in a “pan,” it’s completely surrounded by crusty, cheesy edges. The sauce is super herbed and savory and there’s enough of it to make an impression even though this is a thicker crust option all around. My colleague Ariana Losch said this was “objectively the best” DiGiorno pizza, and I very much agree. and not just because it comes with pepperoni rounds and spears. It’s the one DiGiorno pizza that I think really does rival delivery.
