Banquet Mega Crustless PIZZA Review π | HIT or MISS? SuperChef vs Supermarket
Summary
Darnell tackles Banquet's Mega Crustless Pizza and immediately calls it what it really is: cheese and tomato soup with meat. At just $3.49, the price is undeniable, and the 28 grams of protein hits hard for post-workout recovery. But here's where it gets real, the nutrition label screams danger with 90% of your daily saturated fat and 68% sodium in one frozen meal. Darnell's verdict? It tastes like pizza nostalgia, but as a chef, he'd rather make tomato soup from scratch. Consumer says it's fine. Chef says it's missing everything that makes food homemade. Overall score: C.

So, let's see what we're doing today
Today, we have Banquetss crustless pizzas
It's 28 g of protein, but does it have 28 g of flavor? Let's take this to the kitchen and let's give it the scorecard judgement. [Music] All right, welcome back
So, we are in
the kitchen now
You already seen us in the grocery store looking at this banquet mega crustless pizza
Three meats, baby
You know what I'm saying? What's the three meats they say? What are the three meats? Come on
Come on
Give them to me
Give them to me
Beef, sausage, and pepperoni
All right
So,
if you're wondering what is a crustless pizza, it's uh a cheese and tomato soup uh with meat inside of it
Cuz without the crust, that is what you're getting
Um this is beyond cut straight to the point there
All right, so let's get straight into this
Um it's a simple microwaving instructions
I mean, was it
2 minutes with the film on, then take it off, a minute without it? You know, everything you grew up eating
I mean, back in the day, frozen meals were on a whole another level
You say, we grew up with the little brownie inside of there that you couldn't wait to eat
Okay, back to this one
All right, so let's
try this out
Um, once again, I've said this many times, we need to give a lot more props to people who take uh food photography because these two do not by nature, man
Come on, man. just give us a picture and this is for every product be I know you're trying to sell the product but now that we're reviewing
them I feel like this is the place people are going to come to see the real deal about these products before they buy them if they buy them
Um so just give us what just sell the product as it is
Um and that's one thing I would encourage any product if you're starting it up no matter what it is sell the
product as it is
If this is what you want to sell it as make sure when I cook it it look like this
Please just makes it more believable
Makes me able to trust you more
I got trust issues
You know what I'm saying? With products how people
Um, so let's go ahead and dive into this
It actually like when it
cools down a little bit, it was a little soupy at the beginning, but I understand why
I mean, microwaving sauce and stuff, but when it cools down a little bit, it actually like comes together uh a little bit more
So, not not bad
Okay
Okay
Okay
I just see my little cheese pulls.
[Music] All right, we tasted this
I'm going to digest like my mind catch up with my taste buds and see what it thinks
But while it's doing it, let's get in the price
This was $349.
I mean, what more can you ask for? I mean, like that $349
I mean, you can't go nowhere and get a meal for that price
So, price-wise, I mean, A++
But also, I tell you this all the time
I tell you this many times
You're investing in your health
That's that's key
You know what I'm saying?
You invest in business
I mean, just you're investing in your health
Don't always think because it's a cheap price, it's the right price
But cheap price is right for most people
So, it is what it is
Um, price-wise, A+
I mean, it's affordable, man, for the masses
I want everybody to be able to eat
I love the
28 grams of protein that it has in it
Um, after I get done working out, I'm always trying to get protein back in my body, replenish my muscles
So, 28 g of protein is usually like I don't even know how much your body can take at one time, but it seems like this may be the number
Um, but price-wise, A+
Let's go
to nutrition
Nutritional value has 500 calories per serving
That's good
I mean, your daily amount is what, 2,000? So, I mean, that's good for one meal
Um, okay
Let's go
Good stuff
Protein A+
Saturated fats
Oh man, 90% of your
daily value of saturated fats, you know, and you got to watch that, man
Saturated fats, just imagine this
Saturated fats are the fats that at room temperature stay solid
You know what I'm saying? Like butter
Um, so I'm not a fan of it being 90% of your daily value of saturated fats
That's a lot.
And then sodium, again, most most frozen dinners are high in sodium
Um, as my great man partner behind you would say, Evan, u most most frozen products are are um always high in sodium
This is uh 68% of your daily value of sodium
That's a lot for one meal and it ain't a big meal
Um, but if you look at it,
man, this is the stuff I'm saying
Like, look at the volume
It says it says salt probably 1 2 3 uh 6 7 salt at least seven times on the on the nutrition like at the actual uh ingredients
Like that's a lot of salt added in different places from tomato
paste, from this, from that
Like the sausage has it in it
Like come on
You don't need that much salt to make a good dish
Uh, so that is uh nutritional wise, man
I would have to give this a uh probably like a D, but think of it like a report card
I mean, if you got
straight A's and you got one D, you still win in life
Let's get that clear
Um, so it's not the that's just one thing, man
And that's what this is suffering with
But let's get to um the best part for me
Chef versus consumer reviews
As a consumer, if I was to eat this um I think it was good, man. is
it's a pizza
It tastes like pizza
It's nostalgic
Um the pepperoni with the sausage, you know, the sausage that's pre-made how we always used to it
Um it's a winner
I could live without it, though
I don't think I would ever come back here again because I like my pizzas with crust
I'm
realizing right now
It's not bad tasting, though
It doesn't taste bad
It doesn't give me vibes to say, "Oh, this ain't good." It's just not a um an everyday thing
I don't need this much cheese in a meal
You know what I'm saying? like I ain't lactose intolerant or nothing, but I feel like I may use a
restaurant afterwards
Um, but I mean that's my consumer view as a chef
Why would be my question? Um, I would rather just get tomato soup and have some cheese on top with some bacon crumbles on top of it
Um, so that would as a chef, man, it's just there's I don't want to dig in too deep, but I I
wouldn't It's missing a lot of like things that make it taste like it's made from scratch
I don't know if the thought of this was to make the best ever crustless pizza
And I think that if you're making a product or you're doing anything, your goal of your product should be to be one of the best.
And when I try this, I don't know if that was the goal or if it was just to make a pizza crustless with protein that tastes pretty good
Um, so that's where I think it it it falls hard at is it doesn't seem like they wanted this to be one of the best ever
So like they just made it
You know what I'm saying?
Everywhere and they got a burger
That was good
I mean, they didn't they didn't wow me, but I ate it
Didn't complain
That would be my review of this
Um, but overall I would say availability also
I mean, banquet's everywhere
We grew with this
It's everywhere
You can find it everywhere.
That's an A
So, overall, I would give this product probably a C
Uh, but that's big, big, big because nutritional
I mean, you don't need that much sodium in life and you don't need that much saturated fats in one meal
Um, and but it doesn't taste bad
So, I mean, it's up to you.
Do what you do
Super Chef Reviews
All right.
