I've noticed on some pizzas like that, it's not actually anything that I'd call "cheese" in the list... but having grown up on things like this I have a taste for them and don't mind eating them, even though they don't quite taste like a real pizza.

While it is not the worst pizza I have tasted, it is one of the blandest ones. (if you want the worst pizza, check out the walmart value pizza crap, I would buy one if they still sell it, to take a picture of, but me and my wallet is scared because of how much of a bad experience I had with it a while back) (sadly i wasted my money before the article on it was posted on consumerist http://consumerist.com/257595/walmarts-great-va... )

Sry if i was a little harsh in the review, I just hate getting ripped off, for the price I paid for it, I could have gotten a bigger slice (in terms of weight in grams) that taste much better from a local pizza shop for $1.50 if i hadn't been lazy that dat and just walked the extra 3 blocks to the pizza shop)

PS sry for the errors in the post

I gave it a 1 out of 5 for the taste because it didn't really have any

and for the look, even though it had some cheese, the lack of pizza sauce knocked it down a point or two.

While it is ok to eat, for the money I could have gotten something much better and compared to actual good pizza (which is around the same or more grams and cheaper at $1.50, for me this pizza was a really bad buy.



here is a pic of the price tag

And don’t just get the cheese, cheese pizza is always more bland than any other toppings. $1 is the cost of a candy bar. You people paying 1.50 and higher are getting jipped by the store. If you buy it at a chain grocery store and not a gas station it shouldn't be that expensive. You buy one slice of pizza(equal in size) in a restaurant for $2-3. Jeno’s is filling and the perfect size for no leftovers. If you’re super hungry get 2. $2 is still cheaper than a $4 private label pizza brand found in stores. Other similar brands (Totino's and Smart Choice) have the soft soggy crust but I like the crispy much better.
