What You Should Know

Red Baron Brick Oven Crust Supreme Pizza is a frozen, ready-to-bake 18.64 oz single pizza positioned in the supermarket freezer aisle, usually on a shelf near other mainstream frozen pizzas (DiGiorno, Totino’s, Tombstone) and convenient heat-and-serve entrees. Shoppers commonly grab it for quick weeknight dinners, movie nights, game-day spreads, or late-night study sessions. The brand leans into nostalgia and accessibility — offering an approachable “brick oven” cue that suggests artisanal quality while still selling convenience and value to busy families, students, and time-pressed adults. Packaging emphasizes indulgent cues — “100% real cheese,” a bubbly golden-brown crust photo, and claims like “excellent source of protein” — but it has no organic certification and contains industrial additives visible in the ingredient list. In plain terms, this is a highly processed frozen product made from enriched refined flour, processed meats (including mechanically separated chicken), emulsifiers, preservatives, modified starches, and flavorings. Sensory details: the pizza promises a crisp, crackling outer crust with a slightly chewy interior, melty low-moisture mozzarella, greasy, savory sausage and pepperoni, and sweet bell peppers and onions; the box art and size cue a communal slice-and-share ritual. Typical preparation is simple and ritualized — slide the boxed pizza onto the oven rack for ~17–19 minutes, let it rest, slice and serve — making it a go-to convenience item that balances familiar comfort flavors with industrial processing and packaging convenience.

Common Questions about Red Baron Brick Oven Crust Supreme Pizza

The term 'healthy' can be a bit subjective! This pizza packs in 11 grams of protein per serving, which is great if you’re looking for a protein boost. However, it does have a fair amount of sodium (720mg) and saturated fat (4.5g), so if you’re watching those, it’s good to enjoy this in moderation.
