Chef Boyardee Pepperoni Pizza Maker, 31.85 oz

Tastes fine

Reminder of childhood.

Love these pizza's

So hard to find in stores. A guilty pleasure that reminds me of childhood.However, 1 star deduction because they don't include the industrial cheese packet anymore!

Comfort food. A blast from the past. My husband and I remember the pizza kits from our childhood. It was a tradition at our house to make pizza as a family and watch the Ed Sullivan Show. It brings back memories of family and comfort. Aside from that, they are great to have on hand for a quick meal or snack. Easy to make and very little cleanup. Yes, they taste really good. 1 box makes 2 pizzas.

I've probably used the pepperoni pizza kit from CB a dozen or two times in forty years. I ordered this because I had everything needed to make a pizza from scratch, except for pepperoni. I didn't want to go to the store so I ordered this. I figured the kit would be fun for the kids, for our first at home pizza making experience.All of the times I have bought the pepperoni pizza kit, there was a pouch of pepperonis. That is how it always had been packaged, so that is what I expected to receive in the pepperoni pizza kit. However, after opening the box and having no luck in finding the pepperoni pouch, I realized that the 'pepperoni' part of the pizza was little pieces of pepperoni in the sauce. I have never in my life heard of pepperoni in sauce, let alone that being considered a 'pepperoni' pizza.The box should have clearly communicated that it was a kit for pepperoni sauce pizza, and not a pepperoni pizza. Who would expect that to mean some pieces were in the sauce?I had to go to the store after all, which was annoying. We made the kit as it said, and let the dough rise for 20 minutes as suggested. Spreading the sauce out was difficult, as the little pepperoni pieces wanted to bunch up and not spread evenly.These are some thoughts on the actual taste of the pizza:It was tough and dry.The experience of having tiny pieces of pepperoni in the sauce was unpleasant. The texture/bite was not enjoyable or tasty.The sauce on its own had decent flavor.The contents of the kit were not overall tasty, and I won't be buying it again. I really wish it had had pepperonis like it used to. Then that flavor/texture dynamic might have made up for the tough pizza.

Not as good as expected.

I love Chef Boyardee Pizza kits they taste great! And the pepperoni they use in the sauce is great! 10 outta 10 will be buying more of these pizza kits!
