LIVINGSTON, Calif., June 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pizza is America’s favorite food but with more than half of Americans* reporting that they are trying to reduce carbohydrates in their diet, eating pizza becomes quite a dilemma. Foster Farms has found a solution with their New Smart Crust™ frozen pizza. Available in three delicious varieties that will satisfy any pizza craving: Four Cheese, Uncured Pepperoni and Uncured Bacon Club. Each Smart Crust™ pizza cuts carbs down to 4 grams per serving while providing 25 grams of protein, because the unique crust is crafted from Foster Farms chicken breast, egg whites and cheese instead of flour.
