Lately, I’ve been finding some surprises in the Aldi Find freezer aisle, including some products I haven’t seen in the online weekly Aldi ad. Last week, I discovered some delicious pastizzi from Greece. This week, I found a tomato mozzarella sorrentina pizza snack.
I’m always eager to try new foods from Aldi, so I picked up the sorrentina to try at home.
At the time of writing, Mama Cozzi’s Tomato Mozzarella Sorrentina is an Aldi Find, so it’s only in stores for a short time. Each store gets one shipment, and after that sells out, it’s gone unless Aldi decides to bring it back at some later time. You can’t order this online if it’s out of stock at your local store.
Mama Cozzi’s Tomato Mozzarella Sorrentina cost $4.99 for a 12.7-ounce package at the time of publication. With two large servings per package, that comes out to about $2.50 per serving.
This is described as a “stone baked pizza snack filled with mozzarella cheese and tomato.” It’s a product of Italy. The box states it’s non-GMO and contains no preservatives.
If you’re looking out for allergens, this contains wheat and milk. It may contain soy and coconut.
This contains all whole, easily recognizable ingredients except for natural flavor, which is listed as the last ingredient. The full ingredients list includes wheat flour, low moisture mozzarella cheese, tomato puree, water, salt, extra virgin olive oil, sugar, basil, oregano, yeast, garlic powder, and natural flavor.

It’s got its share of fat (specifically a lot of saturated fat) and carbs, and it is very high in sodium. One package contains two servings. One serving has 380 calories, 10 grams of total fat (13% DV), 6 grams of saturated fat (30% DV), 1,010 mg of sodium (44% DV), 58 grams of total carbohydrates (21% DV), 4 grams of dietary fiber (14% DV), 9 grams of total sugars, no added sugars (at least not enough to count in the nutrition information panel), and 18 grams of protein.
The package has directions for baking this in a conventional oven. Heat the oven to 400 degrees and remove all packaging. Place the pizza on the middle rack (I baked it on a baking sheet). Bake for 9-11 minutes if frozen, or bake for 6-7 minutes if thawed.

I made this for a quick and easy workday lunch. I cut one serving in half and ate that with a salad. It was really good. The crust is crisp on the outside and chewy and doughy on the inside. It features a saucy tomato filling and lots of gooey mozzarella cheese. I appreciate the short and simple ingredients list. This is so good I’d buy it again if it’s still in stock on my next Aldi run.
The Verdict:
Mama Cozzi’s Tomato Mozzarella Sorrentina is a pizza snack featuring a crispy, chewy crust filled with mozzarella cheese and soft tomato chunks. It’s a product of Italy. This is delicious, indulgent, and has a surprisingly short ingredients list for a frozen, ready-to-heat product, although it is also high in saturated fat and sodium. For us, this is a sometimes food.
I bought one when it was in my local Aldi recently and I thought it was great! It was the perfect size – it seemed like an equivalent of two slices of a plain cheese pizza. Easy to fix from frozen, too.
If I see these in my Aldi again I would definitely buy them. It’s a recommend from me, too.
Absolutely love these!! I hope Aldi decides to keep them as they are wonderful and the perfect size for snack or a meal.
I’m absolutely obsessed with these and need Aldi to bring them back.
