Aldi has a great selection of everyday pizzas for those days when you need an easy, quick, and tasty (if not completely healthy) dinner. While take and bake pizzas and ready to bake pizza dough from the Aldi refrigerated aisle get a lot of attention, Aldi also sells some quality pizzas in the freezer aisle.

Regular Buy pizzas at the discount grocery store include traditional thin crust pizzas, rising crust pizzas, and even French bread pizza.

One more recent addition to the Aldi Regular Buy pizza options is stuffed crust pizza. Stuffed crust pizza is a favorite in my household, but it’s typically the domain of pizza takeout restaurants, or we sometimes buy stuffed crust pizza under the DiGiorno brand from a regular grocery store. Aldi introduced stuffed crust pizza a few years ago as a limited-time Aldi Find. Now, however, Aldi stocks it all the time.

Mama Cozzi’s Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza costs $6.89 at the time of publication. I bought a 31.9-ounce Three Meat pizza that came in at about 22 cents per ounce. Aldi also sells a Pepperoni stuffed crust pizza. At the time of writing, a name-brand DiGiorno stuffed crust pizza cost $9.28 at Walmart. The DiGiorno pizzas I spotted on Walmart’s website were smaller, between 22 and 25 ounces, and cost at least 42 cents per ounce. That makes the Aldi stuffed crust pizzas the better deal by far.

This pizza used to be a limited-time Aldi Find but is now a Regular Buy, which means you should be able to buy it at Aldi any time of year.

The Three Meat pizza features “cheese stuffed crust topped with sausage made with pork & chicken, pepperoni made with pork, chicken and beef, and beef pizza topping.” The front of the box states this pizza contains “2 1/2 feet of cheese in crust.”

If you’re watching out for allergens, this contains wheat, milk, and soy.

The box has directions for baking this pizza in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the pizza from the packaging and place the pizza directly on the middle oven rack. (I baked my pizza on a pizza pan with holes.) Bake for 20-23 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges of the crust are golden brown. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

I baked this for about 21 minutes, and the crust came out light golden while the cheese was gooey. It has a decent amount of meat, including pepperoni and sausage. I did have to rearrange the pepperoni on the pizza prior to baking because they had all shifted.

The sauce and toppings are flavorful, and the cheese inside the crust edges is a nice touch. Naturally, this is a pizza with a thicker crust, so if you prefer thin crust, this isn’t your pie. While the stuffed crust on the edges is good, the rest of the crust is not all that remarkable in terms of flavor and serves mostly as a vehicle for holding pizza toppings.

This pizza tastes practically identical to DiGiorno stuffed crust pizza. (I don’t know for certain, but it’s very possible Aldi may contract with Nestlé, the company that makes DiGiornio pizzas, to get this pizza in their stores under the Mama Cozzi’s private label.) I buy this whenever we feel like indulging in a stuffed crust pizza. If stuffed crust is your thing, this is worth trying.

The Verdict:

Mama Cozzi’s Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza comes in Three Meat or Pepperoni varieties and features a generous amount of mozzarella cheese inside the outer edges of the crust. If you’re a fan of DiGiorno stuffed crust pizzas, these are exactly like DiGiorno.

    My husband is passionate about pepperoni pizza (and I love stuffed-crust pizza), so the pepperoni version of this is what we’d opt for.

  2. This pizza we bought thru Instacart as a substitute for the regular Pepperoni pizza that they ran out of in the first week of June 2023. The pizza was smaller at 31.1 oz than the regular pepperoni pizza we were buying for years that was 49.5 oz so we bought 2. This week we bought another 2 of this stuffed crust pizza because we liked it a great deal. The order says each is 31.1 oz as does the Instacart page. However the box now has 29.85 oz on it and the price is the same as before. Aldi needs to update their product page in Instacart – or maybe the chain hasn’t realized it yet? Our orig purchase was June 9 and this lat purchase was July 13.
