What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the frozen aisle as an easy grab for a late-weeknight dinner or movie-night—plant-based branding promises a healthier spin while the look and aroma aim straight for classic margherita comfort. The texture and melt come from industrially formulated dairy-free shreds (coconut oil, starches, emulsifiers) and other additives, cues that this is a highly processed convenience meal rather than a whole-foods pizza.
