What You Should Know

You’d find this RAO’S Brick Oven Crust Supreme Pizza in the frozen aisle or on a store shelf of ready-to-bake meals — the kind you grab for a quick family dinner, game night, or late-night craving. It gives an indulgent, comforting vibe (think warm, cheesy nostalgia) while the ingredient list and processing aids hint at an industrially formulated product engineered for consistent texture, shelf stability, and convenience. The presence of emulsifiers, anticaking agents, cultured flavor concentrates and processed meats are characteristic of ultraprocessed foods that prioritize uniform bite, long life, and bold, stable flavors.
