In the freezer section of my local Trader Joe’s, a new contender caught my eye this week: the Detroit Style Uncured Pepperoni Pizza. Priced at just $7.99, it seemed like a steal. The fact that it was the last one left on the shelf hinted at its popularity. With promises of a crispy crust and a fluffy interior, I couldn’t resist adding it to my cart.
This Detroit-style pizza pays homage to its traditional roots with a classic rectangular shape and a deep, crispy-edged crust. Topped with a bright tomato sauce, Parmesan, Romano, mozzarella cheeses, and plenty of uncured pepperoni, it channels the iconic pies that have been satisfying pizza lovers since 1946.
What sets this pizza apart is the tray it’s baked in. Sprinkled with cheese before assembly, it creates a golden, crispy underside that perfectly complements the pillowy crust. A minor detail, but one that elevates this easy dinner staple to new heights.
Preparing the pizza is a breeze – just remove the plastic wrap and pop it in the oven for about 22 minutes at 425°F. The oven-safe tray locks in the heat, creating a caramelized, cheesy bottom layer with a satisfying crunch that lingers with every bite.
As a fan of frozen pizzas, I may not set the bar as high as others, but Trader Joe’s Detroit Style Uncured Pepperoni Pizza has truly won me over. With its traditional flavors and perfect balance of textures, it has become a new favorite in my household.
