What You Should Know

You'd spot this Urban Pie Pepperoni & Sliced Chicken Sausage Pizza in the frozen aisle or in a sale stack — a quick grab for game nights, lazy weekends, or a student apartment dinner. It feels indulgent and comforting with familiar pizzeria flavors, but is clearly engineered for convenience and long shelf life. The ingredient list (refined flours, multiple vegetable oils, added cane syrup, processed cheeses and reformed meats) and uniform texture point to industrial processing typical of ultraprocessed products.

Common Questions about Pepperoni & Sliced Chicken Sausage Pizza, 20.45 OZ

Well, 'healthy' can mean different things to different people! This pizza offers a decent amount of protein (15 grams per serving), which is great for a quick meal. However, it does have a bit of sodium at 800 mg per serving, so if you're watching your salt intake, you might want to enjoy this as an occasional treat rather than a daily staple.
