Texture / Consistency While the flavor of the DiGiorno Rising Crust Supreme Pizza is definitely above average, its various textures also contribute greatly to the overall appeal of the pie.
Firstly, the self rising crust, when baked according to directions, is nice and soft and chewy on the inside, with a slightly crispy exterior offered. A host of toppings are featured on this pie and each one possesses a different texture.
The sausage and pepperoni on this pie are virtually the same as those served at good pizza restaurants and they are chewy and fairly moist. Both red and green peppers are ingredients on this pie and the good-sized pieces are fresh and slightly juicy, yet firm.
Other toppings on this frozen pizza are pieces of onion and black pepper rings and both are fresh and moist. The cheese is suitably gooey and stringy. The overall mouth feel offered by this pie is very satisfying and is the closest to pizza parlor pizza I have ever encountered in a frozen pie.

Taste / Flavor When it comes to flavor, I think it would be hard to find a better tasting frozen pizza than DiGiorno Rising Crust Supreme Pizza. From the crust, to the sauce, cheese and toppings, every
component of this pie is very tasty. All put together, the various flavor components in this pie form a very pleasing food product.
My favorite part of a pizza pie is usually the sauce and the sauce on this pie is very good. It is somewhat sweet and is definitely better-tasting than most other frozen pizza sauces. The crust on this pie closely resembles a pizza restaurant-style crust and is a great tasting base for the other ingredients. The meat and vegetable toppings are, believe it or not, just about as good and tasty as the average pizzeria- prepared pie. The flavor of the cheese is great, it is real mozzarella.
On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign this product a seldom assigned rating of ten.
