Today, I went to Whole Foods and ran across Daiya's new pizza (they make pizzas now? Why didn't anyone tell me about this!!??!!) There was also a roasted veggie pizza option, but roasted garlic and mushrooms appealed to me more, so that's what I grabbed.
It is vegan and gluten free. The crust is thin and dense and did not rise when baked. However, the crust was crispy and held everything together well. The tomato sauce was mediocre, but the toppings, a mix of Daiya cheddar and mozzarella, mushrooms and garlic, were very nice. It's not gourmet, but it is a bit better than Tofurky's pizzas, which is the closest pizza in this category. I think the roasted garlic gives this pizza a bit of sophistication. One thing to note is that I cooked it as directed for the shortest amount of time they recommended (10 min @ 500F degrees) and the crust was burned along the outer edge. I think it would have been fine at 8 minutes.
It cost $9.99 and the pizza's frozen weight was 13oz. So, it's no bargain. But I will probably try the other flavor someday, but these pizzas probably won't be a regular resident in my freezer, especially since I make homemade pizzas from scratch pretty well.
Pizza out of the box (the toppings had a gap slightly off from the center):
