The package says that 1/6 of the pizza is a serving, and a single serving contains 350 calories (130 from fat) and 740 mg of sodium. We went into this review after a particularly lean week, and we’re still trying to wrap our heads around how many calories we just ate. While the amount of mushrooms here is small enough that we really didn’t much notice until we specifically hunted for one, this is the one flaw in an otherwise perfect pizza - and we really mean that even with low-end mushrooms, this pizza is outstanding.Īnd then there’s the real bad news. They’re diced small and they have that rubbery consistency like they came from a can. Our one complaint is that, compared with absolutely everything else on this pizza, the mushrooms are kind of bland. This crust has some sweeter undertones, which really contrast well against the saltier meat combo (and those green olives) here.Īnd all of this is topped with seemingly unending amounts of mozzarella cheese. Sure, there’s a little bit of DiGiorno hiding in the cracks here, but the flavor is outstanding. The last time we reviewed a Brew Pub pizza, we described the crust as “DiGiorno-plus.” Well, this crust ends up being way better than that description might depict. This is an outstanding batch of ingredients, and it really elevates this to the next level.Īnd then there’s the crust. Even the green olives, which we don’t normally care for, have brought their A game. Yeah, supreme was the right word to use here.Īnd these ingredients are extremely high in quality. So where does this one fall on that spectrum? Well, this is definitely on the generous side, with sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, green olives, and a grilled fajita blend (which seems to include onions and green and red bell peppers). This supreme pizza, though, is so much more than that.Ī lot of pizzas throw around the term “supreme,” but that can range from just having three meats to including a whole pile of veggies. Now, the last time we tried a Hearty Artisan Crust pizza, we thought it was like a DiGiorno’s pizza with the quality control knob cranked to 11. You can buy any pizza that says Brew Pub on the package and know you’re getting quality.īut it is our solemn duty to review as many of these as possible, so we’re still going to go through this line one by one (and we’re going to have a whole lot of fun doing it - you can’t stop us, fun police!) While the Hearty Artisan Crust pizzas tend to live in the shadow of their Lotzza Motzza brethren, they still put up a fight in the world of frozen pizzas. Brew Pub’s pizzas tend to range from great to outrageously incredible - they don’t dabble in mediocrity or even the lower end of the good side of the spectrum. So, we went into this knowing we were going to love it.

(If you want to read the full cooking instructions straight off the back of the packaging, scroll down to the bottom of this review and check out the package scan.) You can toss that directly on the oven rack if you’d like to, but we always use a baking sheet, and we rarely encounter problems. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, then pop the pizza in for about 25 minutes (we recommend 21 for Lotzza Motzza pizzas, but the Hearty Artisan Crust pies are thicker and require just a little bit more cook time as a result). So today, we’re chuffed as chips (to steal a line from Animal Crossing‘s Blathers) to be checking out the Brew Pub Hearty Artisan Crust Supreme Pizza. Brew Pub puts a whole lotta love into every one of their pies. In comparison, Hearty Artisan Crust just sounds boring.īut boring these pizzas are not. And really, this isn’t nearly as catchy as saying Lotzza Motzza over and over again. But as true Midwesterners, we call those suckers Lotzza Motzza, and that’s a hard habit to break.īut break it we must, because we’ve finally been stretching out of Brew Pub’s Lotzza Motzza pizza sub-line, moving into the Hearty Artisan Crust side of their offerings. We reviewed almost the entire Lotzza Motzza line (we’re still hunting for their buffalo chicken option, and our office oven is too small to cook their 16″ pizzas) before we finally acknowledged that the name of the brand is actually Brew Pub Lotzza Motzza is just one of their sub-lines.
