Today, Kevin and I are reviewing Publix's Fire Roasted Pork and Barbecue Sauce Flatbread Pizza. We purchased the 23.76 oz (1 lb 7.76 oz, 674 g) pizza for $7.99 at Publix. Here's our cooking and tasting experience:
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Remove the pizza from the plastic wrap.
- Place the pizza directly on the oven rack.
- Bake for 16 to 21 minutes. We baked ours for the full 21 minutes.

This flatbread pizza promises a meaty, cheesy, tangy, and sweet flavor profile with:
- Tender pork
- Savory cheese

The pork is fully cooked, tender, and juicy, while the barbecue sauce is thick, rich, and infused with hickory smoke. The flatbread crust is golden brown, light, and crisp, providing a satisfying crunch.

Taste Test
Upon opening the oven, the barbecue sauce aroma was enticing. The pizza had a generous amount of both barbecue sauce and pork. The pork was flavorful on its own, and the combination with the sweet, tangy, and smoky barbecue sauce was delightful.
We compared it to a previous barbecue pizza we tried from Trader Joe's, which lacked enough sauce. Publix’s version, however, had a perfect balance of sauce, pork, and onions. The onions, though subtle, added a hint of sweetness.
The star of the pizza was undoubtedly the barbecue sauce – sticky, sugary sweet, and perfectly smoky. The pork added both flavor and texture, enhancing the overall experience. The crust was crispy, providing a satisfying crunch without being overly hard.
Conclusion
Publix’s Fire Roasted Pork and Barbecue Sauce Flatbread Pizza is a hit. With a perfect blend of flavors and textures, it deserves a five out of five rating. At $7.99, it's a great value, and we highly recommend it to barbecue lovers. We would definitely purchase this pizza again.
