What You Should Know

You'd find this Porta Sausage & Caramelized Onion pizza in the frozen aisle or reach for it when you want an easy, indulgent dinner for movie night or a casual get-together. The vibe is comforting and slightly gourmet thanks to smoked scamorza and caramelized onions, but still convenient and ready-made. The long ingredient list — enriched flours, processed cheeses, pre-cooked sausage, emulsifiers and dry milk — and the uniform texture implied by those ingredients are hallmarks of an ultra-processed product (NOVA 4).
