In addition to Margherita, the pizzas are available in supreme, four cheese, roasted garlic and chicken, and uncured pepperoni.

"We’re thrilled that our consumers have responded so positively to our Thin & Crispy crust frozen pizzas," said Mike Havard, vice-president, marketing at Newman’s Own, Inc. "Our new pizzas live up to the high expectations that consumers have for Newman’s Own products.
