The Bougie Costco Frozen Pizza We Can't Get Enough Of

You can find just about everything that you need at Costco — including a range of frozen pizza options. But which frozen pizzas are worth buying? To find out, we ranked 10 Costco pizzas from worst to best – and one came out on top: Roncadin mushroom & truffle pizza.

To make this list, our tester made each pizza according to the package instructions, then focused on taste, texture, and distribution of toppings. All that being said, the Roncadin mushroom & truffle pizza — which features a garlic sauce, truffle mushroom sauce, cheese, and mushrooms — excelled on every level. Taste-wise, the tester loved the garlicky sauce, calling it "the most spectacular cream of mushroom soup you have ever tasted," and found there to be the perfect amount of cheese and mushrooms. The crust, meanwhile, was on the thicker side but the bottom still got sufficiently crispy. There were a few ways that the tester thought the pizza could be improved upon — such as more of a truffle taste and a better distribution of toppings — but overall found it to be unique, tasty, and impressive.

And we're not the only ones who think that this frozen pizza reigns supreme — Costco fans on Reddit couldn't agree more. One user wrote, "I just bought these at Costco and they are a 10 out of 10. They are fantastic." Another user declared, "Best frozen pizza I've ever had." Further, one user mentioned that they love that it doesn't have any red sauce on it — in other words, it's perfect if you prefer a non-traditional pizza.

How to upgrade the Roncadin mushroom & truffle pizza from Costco

The Roncadin mushroom & truffle pizza is already delicious and top-notch as it is, but there are also a few easy things that you can do to take it to the next level. For one, you could start with our tester's idea to make it even more umami-rich: Add a drizzle of truffle oil after it's baked. Similarly, a drizzle of high-quality olive oil can go a long way — in our ranking of 12 olive oil brands, we placed Bona Furtuna in the top spot, if you need a recommendation.

Fans of this frozen pizza on Reddit have some upgrade ideas too. One user likes to keep it simple by adding a "handful of [Parmesan] and red pepper [flakes] on it" — two additions that you really can't go wrong with, when it comes to pizza. Then, another Reddit user has an ingenious idea for a better baking method, writing, "I cut them in half so I can have pizza on demand in the air fryer." After all, just about any air fryer owner will agree that the appliance makes everything better.

But, if you're using the oven, there's a simple way to achieve restaurant-quality frozen pizza with no extra ingredients: Let the pizza come to room temperature before popping it in the oven. This will result in the pizza cooking more evenly, increasing the overall quality.
