Frozen pizza has historically been associated with college students and late-night munchies — a quick, convenient, and mildly satisfying snack that burns the roof of your mouth when you forget to let it cool. However, frozen 'za has evolved in recent years, transforming from mediocre convenience food to gourmet-quality pie with better ingredients, a variety of crusts, and health-conscious options. One such example of a high-quality, tasty frozen pizza that Costco shoppers may be interested in is made by the warehouse's own in-house brand: Kirkland Signature Cauliflower Crust Pizza. 

This gluten-free supreme 'za is sold as a two-pack for around $11.99 in-store (depending on warehouse location) and around $13.60 when ordered online via Costco's same-day store powered by Instacart. In addition to the crispy cauliflower crust — made with cauliflower, mozzarella cheese, rice flour, tapioca and rice starch, egg whites, and seasonings — what makes this pizza special is the high-quality ingredients it's topped with: a blend of three, rBST-free cheeses (mozzarella, Parmesan, and Romano), pork pepperoni, seasoned sausage, and roasted vegetables that include red, yellow, and green bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and onions. And zero artificial ingredients.

RBST-free dairy signifies the milk it is made with comes from cows that have not been treated with the artificial growth hormone, recombinant bovine somatotropin. For more top-notch, ready-made meals, check out these Kirkland Signature frozen foods that also use high-quality ingredients.

Gluten-free crust pizza has become more widely available in recent years in both grocery stores and restaurants. While standard pizza dough is made with wheat flour, gluten-free pizza is made with wheat-free ingredients, like rice or almond flour, tapioca, potato, or rice starch, and cauliflower or chickpeas. Cauliflower crust pizza dough is typically made with finely grated cauliflower as the base, plus wheat-free starch and cheese or eggs as binders. 

According to Reddit, some Costco shoppers prefer Kirkland's Cauliflower Crust Pizza to other brands, such as Milton's, another popular choice for cauliflower crust pizza. In a Reddit post regarding Kirkland's cauliflower 'za, one user wrote, "We were amazed at how good it is. We can't tell it's not a normal pizza crust. This will be in our normal rotation." Redditors responded in agreement with one customer saying, "It is a heck of a good pie for the price!" Another fan said, "I'm not even gluten free and it's probably my fav frozen pizza!" 

Of course, some naysayers pointed out it is high in salt (900 milligrams of sodium per ¼ of pizza), with one person stating, "We never got it again after the first time because it was so much sodium," to which another responded, "Yeah, I don't know why people think this is healthier. Unless you have a gluten intolerance there's nothing wrong with bread."
