I always buy quick and easy frozen meals to eat for those times when time is not something on my side. I am usually picky about the brands that I buy. For a while I have noticed California Pizza Kitchen pizzas but never bought one. Then I saw the California Kitchen Pizza Four Cheese pizza for one. I am a cheese lover so this was right up my alley.

The Four Cheese pizza is loaded with cheese, cheese and more cheese! A blend of Mozzarella cheeses, Fontina cheese, Smoked Gouda cheese and tomato sauce top a thicker crust pizza. The pizza is around 7 or 8 inches in diameter which is a good portion for me.

To cook the pizza just pop it into the microwave for 2-4 minutes or cook it in the oven for 16-19 minutes. I always use the oven instead of the microwave. Personally I like my pizza with a thick soft dough. So instead of following the directions that tell you to stick the pizza directly on the oven rack, I used aluminum foil. I just placed the pizza on the foil then folded it up to cover the crust. That's what keeps the crust soft. My pizza came out perfectly.

The best thing about this pizza is the Smoked Gouda cheese. This is the most prominent taste in the pizza, but it's not a bad thing. It gives the pizza something, that smoky flavor. The California Pizza Kitchen Four Cheese Pizza - For One surpassed my expectations. I will definitely be buying this again and trying other products by CPK. I highly recommend this pizza, especially to cheese lovers. It may not be healthy but it sure does taste good!

This is a traditional pizza. If you like cheese pizza you should definitely try this out.

Nice review. As a fan of traditional pizza I'm not really sure if these California-style pizzas are for me, but there will be braver gourmands that will like this product. And who knows? Maybe someday I'll be willing to try this! (Not just yet, though!)

Haven't tried this kind yet. Took my daughter to the resturant twice. Sounds like something to consider. Nice review! And cheese is right up my alley. Cheese, cheese and more cheese please.

I loved eating at a CPK when I was near one! This sounds great - I love gouda!

This sounds really good for a night when I don't have time to cook dinner, a little salad on the side and all's well. I think I'll have to search these out in my local stores. Thanks for the delicious review ! :)

Definitely try it. But I'm sure you could just go and eat at the restaurant. =)....Ok I just checked their locations and I did NOT think Louisiana would have a CPK but we do! Holy crap, it's in Baton Rouge. I'm so going eat there. I checked out the menu and everything looks so good. It's making me hungry just reading the menu!
