If you’ve taken a stroll down the grocery store freezer section recently, you might have noticed that things look a little different these days. The cheap, cardboard-crusted frozen pizzas of yore have been replaced by gourmet offerings from established chefs and world-renowned pizzerias. Even gluten-free pies have had a major glow-up. We put the buzziest new frozen pies to the test, so if you’re hankering for a slice without ordering delivery, these are the ’zas to grab.

PORTA’s line of Roman-style pizzas are flash-frozen to preserve the fresh-from-the-pizzeria flavor. The toppings are plentiful, the cheese is gooey and golden, and the crust truly tastes like it was hand-tossed before your eyes. It’s hard to believe this pie came from your kitchen, not your neighborhood brick oven.

Caulipower makes no secret of the fact that their thin, crisp-crusted pies are made from a base of cruciferous veggies. You won’t notice the absence of wheat in these gluten-free pizzas, which are generously topped with sweet chopped tomatoes and mounds of gooey mozzarella and Parm.

Part of Target’s new line of frozen entrees made in collaboration with James Beard Award-winning chef Ann Kim, this pizza is a sleeper hit. The crust is puffy and pillowy-soft and the crumbled sausage topping adds just enough heat to wake up your taste buds.

This is frozen pizza to feel good about. 100% of the Newman’s Own profits go to SeriousFun Children’s Network, but if that’s not enough to convince you to pick up this pie, consider the tangy, bubbly sourdough crust and gobs of mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, romano, and asiago cheeses.

Veggie lovers, this one’s for you: a crisp cauliflower crust is the base to a vegetable-packed ’za topped with zucchini, bell peppers, and onions. Of course, Milton’s doesn’t skimp on cheese–three varieties (but who’s counting?) bring this gooey thin-crust pie home.
