Health: The different ingredients that come with Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza all have their own nutritional factors. The pizza sauce appears to be the healthiest item of them all. However, you need a crust, sauce, cheese and pepperoni to make your pizza. This is where it may become a cause for concern. One personal Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza has 310 calories. I had no idea that this food product was as unhealthy as it appears.
Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza also contains 13 grams of fat (20%DV), 6 grams of saturated fat (30%DV) but no Trans fat. It has 10% of the cholesterol that you need for the day but is loaded with sodium. I was shocked to find out that Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza contains 790 milligrams of sodium (33%). This food product has 2 grams of fiber, 14 grams of protein, 10% Vitamin A, 6% Vitamin C, 40% Calcium and 15% Iron. Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza is not exactly the best choice for your diet.
Quality: Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza is available in a large “Sr.” kit that includes three 12 inch round pizzas. There is also a “Jr.” kit that includes eight personal size pizzas. I had the Jr. kit, which also comes with either packs of cheese, pepperoni and pizza sauce. The personal pizzas have a long rectangular shape. Both kits will last for about one week in a refrigerator. If you do not plan on using Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza in that timeframe, they have to be frozen to stay fresh. The pepperoni comes in a nice size and there are enough of them to cover each pizza. I liked the fact that the crust was thick enough to hold all of the additional ingredients while cooking.
Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza can be made in a conventional oven or toaster oven. I tried both methods and it seems that these personal pizzas come out better when made in conventional ovens. However, the toaster oven is a good way to go if you are in a hurry or cooking for a lot of people. The mozzarella cheese is shaped in small little squares. They can be messy if you are not paying attention.
There is a tear off section for each package that helps to pour the cheese and sauce evenly onto each pizza. The cheese melts evenly and the pepperoni cooks well, making for a great pizza topping. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to cook a personal Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza if you have pre-heated the oven. It will be crispier if you leave it in an oven longer. If you prefer to have a softer crust, take the pizza out as soon as the cheese melts or when you notice a little browning of the crust sides.
Price: Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza costs $20 but the price may vary. This packaged food product is at little over $20 if you buy it directly from the company. Many grade schools have fundraisers, which may be the most common way of purchasing Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza. My pizza kits have all been purchased through fundraisers. While it is a steep price for such a small food product, a portion of the money goes to a school or sports team. You can even designate a portion of each online purchase to benefit the organization of your choice when buying direct.
Taste Test: Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza tastes better than some pizzas that I have purchased from restaurants. The cheese has spices that give it a nice flavor and the pepperoni is thick and delicious. The crust would not have any flavor without the pizza sauce. When all ingredients are combined, Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza turns out to be super. I thought that this food product would only be popular among kids. However, many adults that I questioned who have tried Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza consider it a favorite when it comes to lunch, dinner or an afternoon snack.
Verdict: Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza may not be cheap but since it benefits educational programs, recreational activities and other organizations, the money is well spent. This food product may not even be that expensive when considering the fact that one large pepperoni pizza or just two pizzas from a restaurant will cost you $20 or more. While it has a lot of vitamins and minerals, they do not help the fact that Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza is not very healthy in other areas when it comes to nutrition. If you are used to eating Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza, I can understand if the health factors are easy to ignore. The fact that it has high sodium levels and lots of saturated fats is still worth considering. If you have a weakness for Joe Corbis Pepperoni Pizza, try eating it in moderation. This should make it easier to still maintain a good diet.
