Tony's Pizza

Hey everyone!

So this week I got to try out a Tony's Pizza for FREE from BzzAgent.com!

If you're not familiar with BzzAgent, you fill out a whole bunch of surveys and stuff so they find out more information about you and then they send you opportunities ("campaigns") to try new products in exchange for a review. This was my second campaign. The first campaign I participated in had me create two eBay guides on saving strategies. These campaigns involved two 500 word "how-to's" on buying coupons on eBay and how to save money by buying gift cards on eBay. In exchange for writing these guides, I'm getting a $25 eBay coupon. I haven't received it yet, but I'll update ya'll on that later.

So back to that whole free pizza thing....
I got a coupon for a free Tony's Pizza and three $1-off coupons that I was able to share with my family. I might have kept one for myself because we eat Tony's pizza around here quite often. ;) It's nice to throw it in the oven for a quick lunch for me and my oldest. They're pretty small though, so it's hard to spread it out between my husband (who's 6'4"), myself, and my oldest (youngest is still being breastfed). The whole point of this campaign was that the Tony's Pizzas are now 30% larger. The coupon I got showed the words "30% Larger" on the picture of the box, but the pizza that I got at the grocery store didn't say anything about the size. I don't know if maybe I got a pizza that was pre-larger distribution or if I just didn't notice the difference when I opened it, but it looked the same size to me. I live in a small town with one grocery store, so it's possible that I just got a pizza that had been there a little while and wasn't the new style and size. As for the pizza itself, I got a pepperoni one and cooked it directly on the rack and for one minute shorter than the package said and it was perfect. The cheese is made with real cheese and the sauce is made with real tomatoes and it was great. I wish there was more pepperoni on it, but for the price you can't expect it to be super loaded with toppings.

My Rating-- I would give it a 3/5.
Pros- Cheap! The price without a coupon is around $3.50 at my local grocery store. Also easy to cook. Throw it on the rack and fifteen minutes later it's ready to go. It tastes good! I like the crispy crust and melty cheese. Personally I would take a Tony's over a DiGiorno or Freschetta anyday. Or I would just make my own pizza, but that would cost more than $3.50 to get all the ingredients that you want.
Cons- Cheap! Haha this one goes both ways. Because of the price point, it doesn't have a lot of toppings. The crust doesn't have much flavor, it just adds a nice crunch. The size is a little small as well. It's not a pizza you could share with a lot of people, but it does make a nice lunch for a couple of kids or a nice dinner for a couple of adults if you make a salad or something to go with it.

Other things I got this week-
A sample of Emergen-C and Emergen-ZZZ, which is the night-time version. I tried the Emergen-C. It gave me a little energy, and it didn't taste bad at all. There was a $1-off coupon and a smoothie recipe in the sample pack as well. Stay tuned for the Emergen-ZZZ test! Get the sample here.
