The large island of Sardinia, off the western coast of mainland Italy, is known for a variety of unique breads produced there—many of which have been baked and eaten by locals for hundreds of years. Tapping into this tradition, we at one time sold Trader Joe’s Sardinian Parchment Crackers Pane Guttiau [sku 51651]. But the Sardinian Snack of the day happens to be Trader Joe’s Baked Pizza Flavored Pillow Crisps.

These Snacks are shaped like elongated Pillows, about 1.5-inches long. They’re airy—literally hollow—on the inside, reminiscent of ziti pasta that’s been pinched closed at the ends. But instead of being hard like dried pasta, these Pillows are exquisitely crisp with an incredibly satisfying crunch that results from the marriage of coarsely milled durum wheat and our Sardinian suppliers’ baking method.

The outside is of each Crisp is seasoned with salt & natural flavors that lend a red-orange hue, with a subtly herby, tomato-y flavor that recalls... well... PIZZA! It’s an excellent snack if you’re craving something light & savory. Once might say that Trader Joe’s Baked Pizza Flavored Pillow Crisps are nutritionally ‘light,’ too, with each 130-calorie serving being equal to 30 Crisps.
