I’ve been saving the rest of my Tandoor Chef Pizzas to try out on a night when I wasn’t up for cooking. When that night came, I decided to make two for Ryan and I to share – a Margherita and a Spinach & Paneer Cheese. I recently reviewed the Cilantro Pesto varietal which I found to be a delicious meld of several spices and flavors, so I was especially excited to see what these had to offer.
All the pizzas follow the same simple preparation instructions – remove from packaging and bake for 10-12 minutes on the middle rack in a pre-heated over at 450 degrees. My oven took the full 12 minutes for all the pizzas. I elected not to place on a cookie sheet because I love when the crust gets a bit crispy.
I preferred the Margherita one to the Paneer one, but they were both tasty. I think it’s my bias to the traditional flavors of basil, tomatoes and cheese atop some crusty dough. However, the Spinach & Paneer was bursting with the Indian flavors that you would typically look for in Indian cuisine.
After sampling three of the flavors, I’ve concluded that the crust, in this case naan of course, is the best part. Giving the pizza it’s originality and setting it apart from those other pies in the grocer, the naan offers up a nice crispness and tandoor flavor that’s simply delightful.
The calories are moderate, but the good news is that they are made with all natural ingredients including fresh buffalo milk mozzarella. The low down on the Margherita nutrition facts can be found below.
With an SRP of only $2.99, these pizzas are a reasonably priced spin on the traditional frozen pie. With their gourmet flair and uniqueness, I’d say they are definitely worth a try.

Those pizzas sounds really good. I love naan and imagine it would make a great crust for pizza toppings.
