Quick View: I think if I had to pick one food to eat all the time, it would be pizza. I LOVE it. And it is fattening and all kinds of bad for me. But I have found a great way to have my pizza and live too. Lean Cuisine Spinach & Mushroom Pizza is the tastiest "gourmet" frozen pizza I ever had. It satisfies me every time.

About Lean Cuisine Spinach & Mushroom Pizza

This pizza is a deep dish one with alfredo sauce, tender chopped spinach and sliced mushrooms finished with a blend mozzarella, Romano, Parmesan and Asiago cheeses. This one has no sauce (I am not a big sauce lover and garlic pizza is my favorite, of all things). This pizza is easy to make by using its reflective round thing and placing the pizza on top of the box for a few minutes in the microwave. Once the cheeses melt, it's ready to devour. I cut mine into four ample pieces and eat as slowly as possible to make the experience last. Seriously, I know it's just frozen pizza but it tastes so decadent.

But IS it decadent? Well, it has 310 calories, 7 grams of fat, 17 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber, and loads of calcium and iron. I would say, for a pizza this filling, these numbers are darn good. Although 7 grams of fat is pushing it for me, there is no trans fat in it which is the really yecky kind. Plus this is a meal. I have it with a salad and fat free dressing and I am done - and FULL.

My husband and sons go away for four days twice a year and I ask them to fill the freezer with these for me while they are gone. I take those four days to veg out in silence and enjoy my solitude. And my pizza. Delish!

My Viewpoint

Lean Cuisine Spinach & Mushroom Pizza is my favorite of all the Lean Cuisine pizzas. Others are very good but I just love the blend of cheeses and the thick crust this one has. The spinach and mushrooms are a tad "gourmet" for a pizza and the taste is sensational. I actually prefer this pizza to Pizza Hut's or other commercial places. Go me, saving tons of calories and fat! 5 stars!

Patty - one of these days we will have to get you to Chicago and try out some of our pizza. Forget about the 7 grams of fat, but boy... is it good. Deep dish is the city favorite but I also really like some of the Napolian style and thin crust.
