What You Should Know

You'd find this in the frozen aisle or the plant-based/vegan section — an easy grab for pizza night, movie nights, or a quick weekend comfort meal. It feels indulgent and nostalgic (think classic pepperoni pizza) but the long list of isolated proteins, starches, gums, oils, and flavorings signals heavy industrial processing designed to mimic cheese, meat, and desirable textures.

Common Questions about Meatless Pepperoni Style Pizza, 16.7 OZ

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective! This pizza is dairy-free, gluten-free, and has a decent amount of fiber, which is great for digestion. However, it does contain some sodium and fat, so if you're watching those numbers, you might want to enjoy it in moderation, especially compared to a homemade veggie pizza.
