Just as gondolas are the ideal vehicle for traversing Venice’s iconic system of canals, it turns out that bread- based Gondolas just so happen to be the ideal vehicle for rich garlic and melty cheese. That’s the discovery our buyer made when first encountering Trader Joe’s Garlic Gondolas, which are made for us by an esteemed supplier in Italy. Each one starts with hearty, rustic pizza dough, which is formed into a Gondola-esque shape, then filled with a gloriously garlicky, buttery sauce and sprinkled with grated cheese. After that, they’re baked in a stone oven until crisp, then flash frozen, so that you can easily enjoy at home.

Seriously: all it takes is about 10 minutes at 425°F to fill your kitchen with the enchanting aroma of roasted Garlic, after which you’re free to enjoy your Gondolas as an appetizer, side, or even an entrée. Each Gondola eats a bit like a mix between pizza and garlic bread—like a slightly open-faced calzone—and as such, pairs particularly well with soup, a bit of pasta, or a leafy green salad. And if you’re more in the mood to make your Gondola a meal, try topping it with a protein and some chopped veggies, and set sail.
