Pre-Sauced Crispy Pizza BasesProduct reviews...
We often make home made pizzas at our place, for a quick and healthier alternative to take outs. Romano feature in my trolly often as when cooking the pizza, the base is never soggy. It holds its shape and form under all the toppings my family request! (and all the veges i add into those requests) other bases tend to cave in when you add veges because of some of the water that comes from the veges.
These bases are not too salty like some that have added 'features' but the honey/olive oil combo seems to work well. Another way we eat these is on their own with hummus/garlic butter - really what ever is in the fridge that we can use as a dipper. This is a great afternoon treat for the kids (and the parents!!)
These are a bit more expensive than some other brands of base, but well worth it as they are slightly larger than the cheaper brands as well.
Again, I had to search a little for these - thought they were frozen, but silly me, look in the chiller next time!
We used both the pre-sauced and the honey and olive oil base for this meal - we figured it was an easier way to compare them, plus we like to have leftovers for lunch.
We made a chicken, bacon, camembert and cranberry pizza on this base, popped it in the oven and waited.
When it came out of the oven, the pizza looked good - it hadn't overflowed and was easy to cut. The slices were firm and held up well when being picked up to eat.
I'll be perfectly honest and say I could not pick the honey flavour when eating this, although the cranberry sauce was fairly sweet on its own, which may have masked it. However, the base was tasty. It was a good consistency, crisped up nicely (although not quite as nicely as the pre-sauced crispy base) and was a good size for a meal for two.
Finally, after much anticipation, and thanks to the voucher I was sent (thanks to Romanos and KIWIreviews!) I tried out the Honey and Olive Oil fresh pizza bases.
Again, this variety of base comes in a pack of 3, which is great value for money. If you only need one or two bases, the remainder can be popped in the freezer for another day. Very handy.
The taste test. Just as expected, I was most impressed! The bases are just the right thickness ™ not too thick, not too thin. This makes for perfect cooking and a crispy texture ™ no more doughy, soggy disasters. I could detect a slight sweet taste from the honey in the base, which went beautifully with my topping of choice ™ apricot sauce, chicken and roasted garlic. The sweet note would mean these bases would be perfect for dessert pizzas too, so I find them very versatile.
I have finally found pizza bases that step up to the mark! Thankyou Romanos!
