    It's not delivery, it's Thanksgiving dinner. Where to buy DiGiorno Thanksgiving Pizza

    By Chad Murphy, Cincinnati Enquirer,

    The description starts off well enough for a Thanksgiving dinner : "Roasted turkey with green beans, crispy onions, dried cranberries & a gravy drizzle ..." But then it takes a turn: "... on a Detroit style crust."

    You read that right. DiGiorno is bringing back its Thanksgiving pizza . Here's how to get one.

    DiGiorno Thanksgiving Pizza returning for a limited time

    DiGiorno's creation, introduced in 2023, puts traditional Thanksgiving dishes on a pizza crust with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. According to Food & Wine , the idea was to not relegate those foods to one day a year, and make them more easily accessible.

    "From Friendsgiving parties to Turkey Day tables, we're thrilled to provide a bold new way to appreciate the traditional Thanksgiving spread," Kimberly Holowiak, DiGiorno senior brand manager, said in a 2023 statement via PR Newswire . "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."

    Delish finds DiGiorno's creation questionable, especially green beans and cranberries on a pizza. Instead of whole cranberries, the publication would have preferred a cranberry drizzle. And, it says green beans only belong in a casserole.

    "We're all for a sweet and savory combination done right, but we're struggling to see DiGiorno's vision here," the publication wrote.

    DiGiorno Thanksgiving Pizza coming to Kroger, Kroger-owned stores

    Last year, the Thanksgiving pizza was only available online, according to a statement from DiGiorno. But this year, it's coming to Kroger and Kroger-owned stores , food influencer and reviewer @snackolator reports on Instagram .

    According to Delish and Food & Wine, the suggested retail price is $9.99, but that could vary by store. In 2023, the price was $11.23, the date of Thanksgiving that year.

    But don't wait; the pizza sold out last year. According to Food & Wine, DiGiorno is now marketing the pizza as a fan-favorite because it ran out of inventory.

    Social media has opinions on the Thanksgiving pizza

    Reaction on social media to the Thanksgiving pizza's return is mixed, with plenty of opinions both for and against.

    Here's a sampling of comments from @snackolator's post:

    • "CALL THE POLICE IM [sic] DONE ARREST EVERY PERSON INVOLVED IN THIS"
    • "We had it last year and it’s way better than one might expect."
    • "I'd rather eat my own foot."
    • "This looks awesome! Can't wait to try it. Yum!"

    And, it's much of the same on X:
