I used to enjoy those delicious Celeste personal pizzas in the days of yore, but then I went a few years without eating one.
A couple months ago, I decided once again to buy one, but was shocked and saddened to note they shrunk the size of the pizzas substantially.
Does anyone know when approximately this shrink occurred?
Define “a few years without eating one.”
It’s been a few months since I’ve had one, but, AFAIK, they’ve been about the same size for at least the past decade.
I’ve noticed that too. I thing it occurred a good 10 or 12 years ago, or more. Or do you mean they shrunk yet again? They used to be a pretty good size (and oh so yummy) but are now just a tasty tease.
Me too, but I got bigger gut wise:D
They’re still my favorite, especially to manipulate.
Here’s one: Take a four cheese one, nuke it for less than a minute or until unfrozen. Shred whatever cheese you have sitting in the fridge, slice up the olives and artichoke hearts. Add themmover pizza, toaster oven for 3-5 minutes. Don’t forget the hot peppers either!
I love being a bachelor. 
Have you noticed they are *really *peppery? Not good pepper, but table pepper. My method of “making pizza” is to buy a frozen one and add my own sauce and toppings–but no matter what I do to Celeste pizzas, they taste like I dropped the pepper mill on them!
(I *like *the fact that they are so tiny–helps keep me on my diet of eating “almost nothing”)
I used to eat Celeste Pizzas all the time when I was in high school and college in the 90s. I haven’t eaten them much in the last several years. About 2 or 3 years ago when I had one for the first time in several years, I did notice they were definitely smaller, but I’m not sure exactly when it happened.
I just had one today, in fact. Yeah, very noticeably smaller. I used to make six slices for each pizza, but today I did 4. And as Eve notes, it did seem very peppery. Moreso than I remember.
