While frozen pizzas aren’t something that we miss in our house, I have to admit that it was kind of nice to have a couple Daiya dairy free frozen pizzas on hand.
Tasting Notes for Daiya Dairy Free Frozen Pizzas
I received a couple of free product trial coupons for Daiya dairy free frozen pizza. So we decided to give their two newest flavors a trial: Supreme Pizza and Pizza Bianca.
Bianca
The Bianca was LOADED with roasted garlic – a bit too much for us, but great for warding off vampires. Aside from the garlic, it was generously coated with Daiya mozzarella shreds, had a fair amount of cooked spinach, and a small smattering of sliced mushrooms. All the goods were atop a thin crispy crust (that didn’t shout gluten-free). We liked it, but found the flavor a little underwhelming. Aside from the garlic, it was a rather mild pizza. I’m also not sure how they make the cheese alternative look so stretchy in their pictures. It has a nice, gooey consistency, but I wouldn’t expect the super-stretch you get with traditional dairy cheese.
Supreme
We had the Supreme late in the evening, so sorry, no picture! It looks similar to the Bianca above, but with a central smattering of more boldly colored toppings and a red rather than white sauce peaking out from beneath. The toppings were pleasant, and honestly, I don’t think either of us even noticed that the “meat” was vegan. That said, with a supreme-style pizza, I expect a smack in the face with flavor. Like the Bianca, the flavor was mellow. It was good, pleasant, but almost a little lackluster.
Overall, we enjoyed the Daiya dairy free frozen pizzas. We devoured every last bite (don’t believe them that these little pizzas serve three!). But as Tony pointed out, “they taste like frozen pizza.” A nice top allergen-free convenience to have on hand if you can pick some up on sale, but certainly no substitute for a freshly made pie.

I’m gonna go against the grain (see what I did there?) and say…I kinda dig it. Just had my first experience with a pizza of this type and I think it’s nice to have this option. I rather liked the buttery taste of whatever the non cheese item I was eating. I’d purchase this again to have in the freezer for those days when things just don’t work out to make a real dinner.
Haha, I love your feedback Tammy – thanks for sharing!
I prefer Flatbread Pizza Co Vegan Harvest…sprinkle on some red pepper flakes and it’s delicious.
Whoops, it’s called American Flatbread.
I get one of these pizzas about once a year, which is apparently how long it takes me to forget how awful it is. Got one today after getting home from a trip and not having much to cook. The crust, if it can even be called crust, ruins the entire pizza. There’s just nothing to it, and it tastes like what I can only imagine cardboard tastes like. I’ve tried baking it too long, too short, exactly what the directions recommend, and it doesn’t seem to matter. It comes out the same every time – bendy and chewy, in all of the ways you don’t want your food to reflect those words. Also, now that I’ve been eating nut cheese, I forgot how much the coagulated oil version of cheese grosses me out and gives me a tummy ache. I think I’m going to put a piece of the box on my fridge and write “never again!” on it so I’ll have a reminder. I miss pizza as much as the next dairy free person, but putting myself through another one of these is some sort of twisted self-torture.
Hi Sarah, thanks for sharing your very honest review!
We tired the Daiya pizza, and it was probably to grossest thing gluten-free that I have had to date. Even our dog spit the crust out. Would definitely never recommend this pizza.
Your note about the dog made me giggle Sean. Thanks for sharing your family review!
I love these! they’re so good. I always eat the whole pizza!
Pretty good.. I’m eating the Supreme right now.. not bad at all!
These are SO GOOD
I missed pizza so much after cutting out dairy since having my daughter. I tried this and expected the worst. But it was amazing!!! I had the cheese lovers. So good. Will definitely continue buying
i think it should be pointed out that they taste like… make that worse than… a $2 frozen pizza. I’m not a fan of cheese substitutes but regardless of that the rest of the this pizza was just awful… the sauce is not noticeable and the crust is like cardboard. Amy’s pizzas are MUCH better.
Glad there is another that suits your tastes Jeff and thanks for sharing your own review!
I hate to leave a bad review for an allergy / cruelty free company since I believe in the mission, but I tend to agree with you Jeff. I tried the supreme and was turned off by the creamy cheese texture – I’ll take Amy’s “no cheese” pizza over this any day!
Thank you for sharing your honest opinion Amber!
