Healthy Frozen Pizzas

If pizza is your no-cook movie-night choice, good news: The latest batch in the frozen-food aisle is healthier and tastier. And they’re easy to jazz up with extra toppings.

A supreme style, complete with roasted peppers, onions, Italian sausage, and uncured pepperoni. We loved the crisp multigrain crust. Also trim and tasty from Newman’s Own are their Roasted Vegetable and White Pizza varieties.
