SAFEWAY PIZZA

So I found myself down the street from my house checking out the NEWLY RENOVATED Safeway on Old Georgetown Road… Wait a minute, this sounds a lot like my post about Wegmans and Mad Housewife Merlot.

Disclaimer: Contrary to how it sounds, I do other things with my son than just go to grocery stores.

This Safeway in Bethesda is beautiful. It reminds me more of a Balducci’s than a Safeway; a huge, bountiful produce section… and don’t get me started on the meats. It’s not a Wegmans, but then again, what is?

What really elevates the store is the deli section. It’s really a step up from your typical Safeway or Giant. That is where I came across my find worth blogging about- Safeway Pizza.

You heard me right- Safeway Pizza. This is not your grandmother’s frozen pizza – this isn’t frozen pizza at all. It’s fresh, unfrozen pizza, already made for you. And the price is… $7.99 for a large cheese; a pizza big enough that the box barely fit in my refrigerator and my husband, son and myself did not finish it.

But is it good? It’s EASILY as good as DELIVERY pizza.

(Parking note: This Safeway is about a block from the intersection of Old Georgetown Road and Wisconsin Ave. Turn from Wisconsin Ave. onto Old Georgetown Road because it’s a one-way street for that block or so, just make a right into their underground parking garage right before the entrance to the store. There is PLENTY of FREE parking for the Safeway underground.)

I have not seen this pizza in another local Safeway store or my local Giant store. I’ve only seen them in higher-end food stores, but change may be coming… Who knows?

This is a phenomenal idea: ready-made, fresh pizza for… $7.99! It made dinner easy on a Friday night… and that’s all we are really looking for, isn’t it?
