Why cook a full Thanksgiving spread when you can get a taste of all your Turkey Day faves in one bite?
DiGiorno, for yet another year, is selling its famous Thanksgiving pizza with all the fixings — green beans, gravy, cheese, onions, cranberries and, of course, turkey — atop a Detroit-style pizza crust.
The $10 frozen pie will be available exclusively at Kroger stores through the end of November.
In 2023, DiGiorno debuted the limited edition pizza, igniting controversy online about appropriate toppings, as the Turkey Day spread seemed to become more contentious than pineapple.
On the Today Show, Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager taste tested the concoction live on air, as a wary Hager said she was “not sure that Thanksgiving and pizza need to come together.”
“From Friendsgiving parties to Turkey Day tables, we’re thrilled to provide a bold new way to appreciate the traditional Thanksgiving spread,” Kimberly Holowiak, senior brand manager for DiGiorno, previously told Food and Wine in a statement last year.
“Our passion is pizza, and we are always looking for unique ways to infuse the fresh-baked taste of DiGiorno into moments of celebration — even the most traditional holiday dinners.”
But this isn’t the first Thanksgiving-flavored food that has been concocted in recent years.
Last year, Baskin-Robbins launched an ice cream flavor called Turkey Day Fixin’s, and Pringles once sold Thanksgiving-inspired potato chips a few years earlier.
A 2019 survey found that Americans are hankering for an alternative to turkey on Thanksgiving. At the time, 64% of respondents said they would be open to swapping out the main course, and 30% already had, with some participants lamenting time-consuming preparation and cooking, while others wanted to eliminate stress.
