I was on my way to the post office when I walked past Jamba Juice and remembered that I always wanted to try their new flatbread pizzas. On my way back from the post office, I stopped in and ordered the Smokehouse Chicken Flatbread.
Jamba Juice’s website describes this flatbreadas:
A thick and crispy crust topped with BBQ chicken, smokehouse roasted sweet corn, black beans, poblano chilies, red bell peppers, and a combination of mozzarella and cheddar.
First of all, the description does hold true however it’s not really a flatbread… it’s a freakin pizza, freakin A! And this pizza was pretty much the biggest disappointment of my TGIF. After I ordered the pizza, I saw the guy go into the back and walk out with a tiny round frozen pizza wrapped in cellophane. He had to unwrap it before putting it into the oven, which took about 3 minutes to heat up.
A small 7-8″ or so pizza box was handed over to me with a tiny baby pizza inside. I couldn’t wait to get back to the office to eat it so I set it on top of a huge tree planter outside the Jamba Juice building to take a pic of it before it got slammed it down my fryhole.
I wish I had something in the photo to help show scale. I think this pizza is only about 6″ round. It’s pretty tiny, no wonder there are supposedly only 300 calories.
Here’s another pic, closer up. Sorry the quality is off, iPhone camera to blame (I doctored the pics up a bit before they made it in into the blog tho).
Yeah, so the pizza looks all hot and cooked through however it was hardly lukewarm when I took a bite. The pizza was gone in about 2 minutes, more or less… since I was freakin starving. I finished it while walking 1 San Francisco block. The flavors are all there but the crust is kind of airy and dough-y. It’s not super flavorful (maybe it’s because it wasn’t too warm) and again the size really threw me off.
For some reason from all the photos of these pizzas, I kind of got into my mind that they were cornmeal crust or something – THEY ARE NOT CORNMEAL CRUST, they just have the shape of most cornmeal crust pizzas (like the ones at Trader Joe’s anyway).
I probably won’t be eating another one of these pizzas in the near future… sorry Smokehouse Chicken Flatbread, I’m still hungry.

They are rather small. But the point of these are for lower calories. People who want large amounts of food should go to a restaurant. The Smokehouse Chicken Flatbread has been wonderful every time I have had it. The flavors are amazing and they come together quite nicely. I was surprised to find out how low the calories are. It is a delicious snack and I highly recommend everyone to try it at least once.
