Boca Supreme Meatless Pizza

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Mar 5, 2005

I challenge anyone to figure out that this pizza is meatless! I personally couldn't believe it. It looks like pepperoni and ground beef, tastes like pepperoni and ground beef and is absolutely wonderful. I usually dislike store bought pizzas, but this is one of those rare exceptions. It is only about 12 inches in diameter, so it is about half the size of regular pizzas, but tastes great and is better for you. The crust is thick and you don't get too much of that tomato-paste taste.

If this pizza has a weakness, it might be in some of the nutrition content. The pizza is pretty small, I would say that I could finish it in one sitting, but according to the box, 1 whole pizza is 3 servings, and 1 serving has 280 calories. This means if you eat the entire thing, that's 840 calories. There is 8 g of fat, 3 g of saturated fat, and you get 13 g of protein and maybe a little too much sodium at 810 mg (34% the recommended daily allowance). But let's compare it to 1 slice of DiGiorno Supreme Pizza. One slice of DiGiorno has 360 calories, 15 g fat, 6 g saturated fat and 1030 mg sodium, which means it's equal to a little less than half the Boca Pizza.

The price is about $3.00 per box - which is not the cheapest pizza, but overall it's a great choice if you are craving pizza, just don't eat the entire pizza in one sitting and you can enjoy it guilt free.
