What You Should Know

Found in the frozen aisle among plant-based and gluten-free options, Daiya Cheese Pizza is the easy grab-and-bake choice for busy weeknights or feeding vegan or allergy-conscious guests. It feels indulgent and comforting — a nostalgic pizza experience delivered with freezer-case convenience. The long list of isolated starches, oils, gums, emulsifiers and flavoring agents points to heavy industrial formulation to recreate stretchy, melty cheese and a stable crust (typical NOVA 4 characteristics).

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Contains multiple industrial ingredients (isolated starches and proteins, refined oils, gums/emulsifiers, dextrose, 'natural flavors' and colorants) and is a ready-to-heat frozen product, which fits NOVA group 4. The formulation is designed to mimic traditional pizza textures and extend shelf life rather than rely on minimally processed whole foods.

Common Questions about Cheese Pizza, 15.7 OZ

Well, that depends on what 'healthy' means to you! This cheese pizza is a solid option if you're looking for something that’s dairy-free and gluten-free, making it a great choice for those with dietary restrictions. However, it's still a frozen pizza, so while it has some fiber and low sugar, it's not exactly a leafy green salad. Think of it as a tasty treat rather than a health food.
