INGREDIENT NOTES
Pizza Crust: See the packaging below–these are the crusts I always use because they are delish and SUPER easy…no wrestling with raw dough. Plus, they bake in about 5-8 minutes!
Pizza Sauce: Trader Joe’s Pizza Sauce is good, but I usually just use whatever marinara sauce I have in the pantry.

Top your pizza crust with pizza sauce, pepperoni and a sprinkle of oregano or Aglio Olio seasoning!
The “Viral”
This version of the Trader Joe’s pizza went viral on TikTok! Pesto Rosso has been discontinued, but you can use regular pizza sauce, marinara sauce, or vodka sauce.
Spread Trader Joe’s garlic spread over the pizza crust, then spread on your marinara sauce. Add fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, and sun-dried tomatoes. Bake, then top with arugula and balsamic glaze.
Veggie Fajita
This is a great veggie option! Spread pizza crust with pizza sauce, add cheddar and mozzarella cheese, then top with these flavorful fajita veggies! Bake and enjoy.
Unexpected Eggplant
Spread the crust with Trader Joe’s Eggplant Garlic Spread (AMAZING, if you haven’t tried it!). Top with mozzarella cheese and sauteed bell peppers onions. Bake. Then finish with lots of fresh basil.
