Deep Pan Loaded Cheese Pizza — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Deep Pan Loaded Cheese Pizza by Trattoria Alfredo DUMP — score 17/90.
A refined-flour deep-pan base loaded with three cheeses, oil and added sugar — a NOVA 4 frozen meal that's heavy on saturated fat, salt and refined carbs.
Why this verdict
- Refined white-flour deep-pan base with a dough conditioner — low fibre, blood-sugar-spiking carbs
- Three cheeses stack up saturated fat and salt fast
- Added sugar plus dextrose on top of the refined starch — sweetness you don't need on a pizza
- Coloured cheddar uses annatto purely for cosmetic orange
- Calorie-dense ultra-processed (NOVA 4) frozen meal
