Dr. Oetker Ristorante Brand Frozen Spinach Pizza is Very Tasty

Approximately a year and a half ago, I encountered Dr. Oetker Ristorante brand frozen pizzas at a Hartford, Connecticut supermarket. The brand name intrigued me, so I purchased and ate the Dr. Oetker Ristorante mozzarella pie and enjoyed it. Recently, I tried the Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza Spinaci, which contains two types of cheese and a good amount of flavorful leaf spinach and was quite impressed.

This frozen pie seems like a good product to review, so here is one food writer's product review of Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza Spinaci.

Size
The net weight of the standard sized Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza Spinaci is 13.80 ounces. According to the product's nutrition facts label, the pizza contains three 1/3 pizza (130 grams) servings.

When I recently ate this tasty and unusual frozen pizza, I consumed almost the entire pie in one sitting.

Price
The regular retail price charged for one 13.80 ounce Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza Spinaci at Hartford, Connecticut area supermarkets is approximately $3.99.

This price seems very reasonable to me. The pizza is definitely a high quality product and it is very flavorful. Also, this is the only brand of frozen spinach-topped pizza I have ever seen.

Texture / Consistency
This delightful frozen pizza features a very thin crust. When cooked according to directions, the pie is slightly crunchy, yet still pliable. A good amount of tomato sauce covers the crust and two types of cheese; mozzarella and edam, top the sauce.

Interspersed throughout the pie are clumps of nicely seasoned leaf spinach, which are soft and moist. The overall mouth feel offered by this frozen pizza is quite satisfying.

Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza Spinaci contains 290 calories, with 140 calories from fat, per 1/3 pizza (130 grams) serving. This frozen pizza also contains 3.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams trans fat, 15 grams total fat, 10 mg of cholesterol, 540 mg of sodium, 28 grams total carbohydrates, 3 grams of dietary fiber, 2 grams of sugars and 9 grams of protein, per 1/3 pizza serving.

Taste / Flavor
It's nice to see a good, reasonably priced spinach-topped frozen pizza for sale in supermarkets. Spinach is somewhat of an unusual pizza topping, but like many things in life, once you've tried it, there's a good chance you'll like it.

Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza Spinaci offers a nice balance of tasty crust, sauce, tomatoes, cheeses and spinach. The spinach is lightly, yet pleasantly seasoned, the cheeses are slightly salty, the sauce possesses a pleasing, not too sweet, garlic-rich flavor and small pieces of fresh tomato mingle throughout.

While I really do like the flavor offered by this frozen pie, if it also contained Italian sausage, I would like it even more. On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign this product a rating of nine.

Packaging
Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza Spinaci is packaged in an off-whitish, standard type cardboard box with the word 'Ristorante' in the foreground. The front label features an illustration of the enclosed pie, cooked and the rear label lists all pertinent ingredient and nutritional information, as well as heating instructions.

This pizza offers a fairly unique flavor, with the combination of two cheeses and leaf spinach present. The thin crust offers a nice texture and the overall pie is a pleasing product. Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza Spinaciis a recommended product.
