Bon Appétit Bacon Trio Pizza Review + Giveaway


I love pizza.

While I definitely prefer a good brick oven pizza to the traditional delivery or even frozen pizza, sometimes you just don't have time (or the money!) to go to a fancy pizza shop or make a delicious pizza with the freshest ingredients on your own.

As it turns out, pizza night doesn't have to be overwhelming, difficult or expensive. Sometimes it can just be an easy, quick dinner so that you have time to do the things that are most important to you – like screenprinting baby invitations and making an ultimate coconut cake. (Because that's what you were going to be doing already, right?)

With our lack of time in mind, Justin and I bought a set of 4 Costco frozen pizzas and one Bon Appétit bacon trio pizza to eat on one of those crazy nights when we are struggling to get everything done that needs to be done.

Bon Appétit is not our normal brand of frozen pizza, but we decided to give them a try when I received a coupon for a "free" product via BzzAgent.* As we looked through the selection of pizza choices, I was surprised to not see any of the typical flavors – 3 cheese, straight pepperoni, supreme, or even the regular Margherita. Instead what I found was Mozzarella & Pesto, Roasted Vegetable, and Trio Bacon. Odd flavors to say the least. Not being a fan of pesto (ick!) or pizza veggies (black olives and peppers are not my style), we had one choice – Trio Bacon. Given that it sounded close enough to my typical frozen pizza favorite of pepperoni, we decided to give it a shot. With a free coupon, what did we have to lose?

Following the directions on the back of the box, we stuck the pizza in the preheated oven for it's designated amount of time before diving in. As we came to realize, this was a very small thin crusted pizza and certainly not big enough for more than two. To make matters more complicated, Justin and I don't eat very much to begin with, so it's possible that people who eat a lot more than us may struggle to even feed 2 on the very little amount of pizza that comes in the box.

The pizza itself was pretty good. We served it up with a second Costco pizza, a delicious side salad, and some wine to really pull the meal together. Then, with an almost complete disregard to how little time we actually had, we sat down and enjoyed our dinner together. Because the pizza was so quick and easy to prepare, we had more time to talk and enjoy the experience rather than searching the fridge for ingredients, making dough from scratch, or even taking the time to piece together a delicious concoction.

GIVEAWAY

As it turns out, BzzAgent gave me TWO coupons to share with my readers for $1 discount when you purchase and try Bon Appétit pizza available in 5 flavors (Mozzarella & Pesto, Roasted Vegetable, Pepperoni & Pesto, Spinach, and Trio Bacon) from your favorite grocery store.

Just enter the rafflecopter by August 6 to win!

    If it is just me eating, I will just eat a few bowls of cereal. Otherwise, hot dogs are a quick and easy meal to prepare, and the kids love them.

    You can't go wrong with tuna sandwiches for dinner. They are relatively healthy and the kids think they are a treat.

      I'm with your kids. I don't eat any fish except tuna, so tuna definitely is a nice treat! :)

      Plus they can customize it to their own taste by adding pickles, or apples or eggs, etc.

      We always keep a supply on hand for the kids to eat. It is one food that they can cook on their own if they need to because they can just pop it in the microwave.

    When we're short on time, taco soup is our go-to. Just dump everything in the pot, heat, and eat!

    Throwing a frozen pizza in the oven for 15-20 minutes is a great way to get a quick meal with very little preparation. The only problem is pulling it out of the oven and giving it time to cool down so I do not burn my mouth. I have yet to pass the cool down test.

      No one waits. It's like a rule. You have to eat it as soon as it comes out of the oven. ;)

      Potatoes in an omelet? It seems like that would throw off the consistency? Is it like hashbrown style or just chunks of potato mixed in?

      Any favorite soup/sandwich combinations? In the spring we did a soup/salad combo that I just loved! – Strawberry vinaigrette on top of field greens, avocado, bacon bits, croutons, and walnuts and a beer cheese soup. Yum! :)
