"tomatoes, red onions, garlic, basil & reduced fat mozzarella cheese with an olive oil tomato sauce on a thin crust"
Exhaustion, a new job and my love for pizza drew me into this one. I'll admit I only grabbed it because it was on sale and 'margherita' was in the title. Otherwise I may have gone for a less 'fancy' pizza. Also, the pretentious spelling of 'margherita' threw me off.

Preferred Beverage: This one kind of stumped me; It's the perfect dish for work
and on the go. So either a water bottle of wine or an energy
drink would suffice -pending on your place of labor.
Proper Attire: Whatever you wear to work. If it helps; when I bought this I was
wearing jeans, slippers and a coat. Just jeans, slippers
and a coat. Don't worry it was fully zipped.
Cinema: The background of your pitiful 'employee lounge' coupled with
awkward lunch conversation and the lingering smell of feet and
wine from your 'water' bottle. Unless there's a t.v. then you
can mindlessly watch part of whatever is on and loathe
life thinking about a new job.

It has recently come to my attention that you can actually rate Lean Cuisine products on their web site. This particular pizza has about twenty pages of similar minded individuals berating this delicious delicacy. I cannot believe the average score was only two out of five stars!
Yes, yes I can. It may look appetizing, however the final product was vaguely reminiscent after the microwave made it's sweet magical love to it and turned the "olive oil tomato sauce" into a scarring image not meant to be seen associated with food. I persevered beyond the monstrous sauce and bit into the surprisingly crisp crust. They have you fold the top of the box over the bottom and flip the structure over and cook it on top of the 'crisping tray'. It is entirely magical because afterwards you get to use the box as a plate!
These little crisping trays are doing wonders for microwave food everywhere. I could write an essay about the foods it's enhanced and how it is on par with sliced bread, some other time maybe. I was in love with the crunchy bottom with a fluffy albeit non-soggy center. A miracle! It was a decent size to hold and not entirely awkward to stuff into your face; but lacked the connivence of normal slices of pizza and who are we kidding, no one will have the patience or virtue to lovingly cut it up. The cheese, if I remember there being any, was nothing special.
I almost completely forgot about the flavor! Just kidding, I didn't. It tasted like a tomato that somehow managed change it's texture to three varying degrees; crunchy, soft and bread-like, and pasty. After consuming the entire thing I began contemplating this blog I read the description and only then realized there was supposed to be other ingredients than tomatoes. Chances are astronomically high that I'll ever be purchasing this again, unless I happen to be astronomically high myself even then it would never happen.
