But only available in cheese and pepperoni

slice of pizza

I had a $10 Doordash credit that I could only use to pick up stuff at 7-11, and we figured we’d use it to try their pizza. I had first heard about it a few years ago, when a cousin was visiting from abroad and found 7-11 pizza an affordable and easy way to feed a picky child. Still, with frozen pizzas available at the supermarket, and lots of pizzerias around, I never had an actual reason to buy it at 7-11 – until now.

I failed to take a photo of the pizza before we ate it – and the photo of the slice is after microwaving it a day after -, but it looked like a normal pizza. It wasn’t bad. My daughter felt it tasted like frozen pizza, but I liked it better than most commercial brands. It has a good amount of garlic in it, which helps flavor it. I wouldn’t necessarily seek it out – but I can see having it again, either to use that $10 credit again or if we wanted something while on the road. The slices, once they cool down a bit, are pretty firm and not too messy.

One of the cool things about 7-11 pizza is that you can buy it cold and have them heat it up for you. This means that you can use EBT (food stamps) to buy it, despite the fact that EBT doesn’t work for hot foods. Given how many people on food stamps don’t have access to a kitchen – or might want to give their kids the “treat” of a “real” pizza, I love this option. I’m not sure whether you save tax if your order it that way too. As I ordered it through Doordash, the pizza was hot and taxed.

The 14′ cheese pizza was $8, so about the same price or cheaper than a frozen/refrigerated pizza at the supermarket.
