The Pizza Cupcake emerges from reviews as a clever, snackable twist that tastes better than most frozen pizza to many, driven by a flaky, buttery, croissant‑meets‑biscuit crust and gooey cheese, but it divides on flavor balance. Strengths include easy oven/air‑fryer prep and crowd‑pleasing novelty; consistent weaknesses are scant filling, overly sweet or flat sauce, occasional dryness/oil pooling, and uneven cook times, leaving several reviewers uninterested in repurchasing.

I had to purchase a box of The Pizza Cupcake after seeing it on Shark Tank. The judges had such a visceral reaction to it, I had to experience it for myself! The packaging was thoughtful, as they shipped it out on dry ice and it was still very frozen by the time it arrived. Cooking them was straightforward enough, but honestly... the taste is something I feel like you don't have to spend so much on. I was expecting the brioche texture and taste to be the gamechanger here, but I really didn't taste much of it. It feels like a step up from bagel bites - just a way, way more expensive and inaccessible version of it. I'd skip on these.
I really enjoyed these. The flavor is great and the dough is incredible. It does not feel like eating a regular frozen pizza. Plus the size is perfect for hosting.

The dough is great, maybe lacks some cheese and other flavors (not a fan of pepperoni). Definitely would repurchase the margherita ones.
I thought these were tasty, but not fantastic. The cheese was definitely the best part. It was tasty and had great cheese pull! But overall, it was too much flavorless dough and not enough sauce/substance. For the cost, I wouldn’t purchase again. Interesting, but not flavorful enough for me.

Bought these several times, husband and I love them!

Love these as a snack or as a yummy side to soups for quick dinners. I love quickly making these in the air fryer.
The food was delicious. The cupcakes had great flavors and the crust was flakey. The instructions were clear and easy to follow through. The only downside is they need time to defrost before cooking, so you can’t just eat them when you want.
Feedback
The shipping and delivery took a long time from when the order was placed, maybe around 1 month.

Such a fun snack that feels slightly more elevated than regular pizza rolls! They taste great too, love both flavors.

I saw these at Kroger one day as I was doing my weekly grocery shopping. I thought they looked good and wanted to give them a try so I bought a box of the pepperoni ones. The cooking instructions are incorrect. The pizzas didn’t taste properly after following the cooking instructions. I didn’t like the taste of the type of tomato paste that was used. I wish they would have used real pizza sauce instead. I am really disappointed. I was really looking forward to these being good but they weren’t. I will never be purchasing them again.

Not worth it! They use tomato paste instead of tomato sauce for the pizza and it doesn’t taste good at all. The sauce is really sweet. I really wanted to like them but it doesn’t really taste like a margarita pizza. There no basil, no tomato sauce. Doesn’t have much flavor.

Very delicious and a great snack

It was ok. Better than I expected but nowhere near as good as ordering a really good pizza delivery from any number of local restaurants - which coincidentally will cost the same and contain more food than two boxes of these. I just don't think it's worth it at the price these sell for and the taste isn't anything special. It's a cupcake. With some sauce and cheese inside. Each is about 1/4 of a slice of pizza with a single pepperoni inside.

OMG! Absolutely delicious! Love them! Since it was a frozen pizza appetizer I thought I would try it, but wasn't expecting the AMAZING TASTE! Sooooo good!! The dough is very buttery, crusty or flaky outside and soft inside, the cheese, sauce & pepperoni all super tasty! First bite and I was so hooked I had to go back to Walmart and buy 3 more boxes! The only downfall is it is a little pricey, but oh soooo worth it! Yummmmmmm

Does it taste good? Sure. Is it innovative? Maybe. Does it cost an arm and a leg? Better believe it. Like anyone else, I love a good pizza treat. I saw these at a local Kroger and thought, wow, these look nifty. Then I saw the price. I whispered to myself “you better be worth it” and threw them in the cart. An hour later I had these pizza dough puff looking things cooking in the air fryer per the box’s instructions. But, how’d they taste - that’s the most important thing. They were pretty okay. The hell?…Pretty okay? I know, I know…I thought the same thing. “You were supposed to be worth it,” I thought to myself as I dug into a second Italian muffin. So where does this leave us? I tell you where. It leaves us with an expensive pizza snack that is probably great after a night of drinking…maybe…but it’s less of a snack and more of a luxury. I’ll stick with the cheaper options. (Scale of 1-10) Taste: 5.1 Innovation: 6.4 Price: 2.4 Recommend? Probably not

Bread is good, thats about it. If you were looking for just bread and cheese then this is for you because there is virtually no sauce on it. And if you get the pepperoni then just know they only put 1 pepperoni on it, like wtf. Was really disappointed, especially cause their priced way too high for what you get.

3.8 review rating! What?? It's a 5 all day long and twice on Sunday's! Mannnn, these little things were great! Only complaint rather than 6 to a box it be like 6 DOZEN. POPPED them in the air fryer and in a few minutes DELISH! Dabbed a little marinara sauce (cooking with shereen on YouTube marinara recipe) and it just put it over the top! The crust, bread was great...the cheese was gooey! The taste was AWESOME. yes...I liked them incase you were wondering

I ordered your pizza cupcakes because I saw them on Shark Tank and I love pizza. With that said, your product is awful. Not only were they too expensive which I was willing to accept thinking they would be a supreme product, but man was I wrong. I would never order them again and I would never tell anybody about them other than they suck. I cooked 12 for me, my daughter and her friend, and 8 got thrown away, that's how bad they are. My daughter and her friend ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches instead.

Saw them on shark tank and instantly purchased! SO yummy!

It was decent but nothing to brag about. Wouldn’t purchase again. It doesn’t get too crispy and oil pools in the center of the “cupcake” and it’s too much cheese to sauce ratio. And it was kind of pricy for only a few of them in the box

Not having the oil pool in the center

Just bought a box from Walmart here in Colorado yesterday and tonight when I got home decided to pop them into the oven. Honestly, I’m disappointed. I had high hopes with the “Shark Tank” backing displayed on the front of the box but this is garbage. Are they just handing out money to anyone these days? Because I have a few really crappy ideas we can box up and ship out as well. The only thing these crapcakes have going for them is that the dough IS very good. It’s unique in texture and the taste is great…BUT…that’s about it. The sauce sucks. Has almost a metallic aftertaste. The cheese is dried out even with following the heating directions to a ‘T’. And the one measly pepperoni slice comes off with the first bite. Definitely won’t be buying them again. Am tempted to return them and get my $9+ dollars back! What a rip off. Should be selling this box of crap for $1.99. Sorry. This is my honest review.

I placed an order back in august and never received the product. They sent me some weird email about a future FedEx delivery I never requested. So I had no choice but dispute the charge on my credit card since I never got the product. It seems like they don’t have their act together. I won’t order again!

I discovered it through shark tank and love it! Quick and easy to make and tastes so good!

Shipping is expansive so I usually order when there is a free shipping offer
