FroPro Pepperoni Pizza Slices
FroPro Pepperoni Pizza Slices: independently scored 7.7/10 on Protein Score and 7.2/10 on Clean Score by ProteinScore.
31g protein per serve · 335 cal · 2g sugar · 1141mg sodium · 180g serve.
Overview
Finding a pizza in the freezer aisle that delivers a genuine protein hit is rare, but this one packs 31 grams into a single-serve product. The catch is the sodium load, which at 1141mg per serve, accounts for more than half the daily 2000mg limit. That figure alone makes this an occasional meal, not a nightly staple. Inside the product are two individually wrapped 180g pizza slices, making it a convenient option for a quick lunch or a post-gym dinner without leftovers. The protein comes from a combination of wheat and faba proteins in the base, plus the pepperoni and cheese on top. Compared with FroPro's Sweet Chilli Chicken Protein Dumplings, this pizza packs 0.5g more protein per 100g but carries a much heavier sodium penalty. With 25 ingredients, it sits just under the category average for ingredient count in ready meals we track. The 335 calories per slice puts it in a grey area between a large snack and a light dinner, so you might need to add a side salad to make it a complete meal. We see it as a convenient, protein-first option for when the kitchen is off-limits, provided you're keeping an eye on your sodium intake for the rest of the day.
Protein Score: 7.7/10
The protein here is built from the base up, using wheat and faba protein to fortify the pizza dough itself, topped with pork pepperoni and cheese. This combination delivers 31 grams of protein in a 335-calorie serve, the number that earns a 6.2/10. For a frozen pizza, that protein density is in the expected range, though it trails the field for ready meals overall. The 9.2 grams of protein per 100 calories is a balanced score, showing it isn't just padded carbs. It lands in our "high-protein dinner" bracket, clearing the 30-gram threshold. This makes it a viable option for a post-training refuel when you can't face cooking from scratch. Still, it sits below the category average for protein efficiency. While the 31-gram headline figure is strong, other meals in the freezer aisle deliver a similar protein hit for fewer trade-offs on other nutritional fronts. It suits someone who wants a familiar format with a protein boost and accepts a mid-table score to get it.
Clean Score: 7.2/10
FroPro's ready meals tend to sit around the middle of the pack for ingredient complexity, and this pizza is no exception. With 25 ingredients and five additives, including preservatives like sodium nitrite (250) and emulsifiers, it lands a 5.7/10. This score is slightly below the average for the ready meals we analyse. The additive list isn't excessive, but it reflects the processing needed to create a high-protein pizza base and ensure the pepperoni is preserved. Ingredients like thickener (1413), flour treatment agents, and mineral salts (451) are all part of the deal when you want a convenient meal that heats well from frozen. For shoppers who prioritise whole foods and short ingredient lists, this won't be the first choice. But if you accept that a frozen, high-protein pizza requires some formulation to work, the trade-offs here are fairly standard for the category. It's a product of convenience, with an ingredient list to match.

Frequently asked questions
- How much sodium is in FroPro Pepperoni Pizza Slices?
- A single 180g serve of FroPro Pepperoni Pizza Slices contains 1141mg of sodium, which is approximately 57% of the 2000mg daily sodium limit suggested for Australian adults. This is a significant sodium load for a single meal, making it an important consideration for anyone monitoring their intake. While convenient, eating meals this high in sodium regularly could make it challenging to stay within the recommended daily guidelines, so it's best viewed as an occasional meal rather than a daily staple in your 2026 meal plan.
- Is FroPro Pepperoni Pizza stronger on the numbers?
- We can't say if it's a stronger on the numbers choice for you specifically, but the data for 2026 shows a clear trade-off. On one hand, it delivers a strong 31 grams of protein and over 13 grams of fibre per 100g, which are solid numbers for a frozen meal in Australia. On the other hand, its 1141mg of sodium per serve is very high, representing over half the daily recommended limit. It's a highly processed meal with 25 ingredients, so while the macros are targeted, it's not a whole-food choice.
- How much protein is in FroPro Pepperoni Pizza Slices?
- Each 180g single-slice serve of FroPro Pepperoni Pizza contains 31 grams of protein. This is a substantial amount, putting it in the 'high-protein dinner' category we use for ready meals. The protein comes from a combination of sources, including wheat protein and faba flour in the pizza base, as well as the pork pepperoni and mozzarella cheese on top. This level of protein is more than enough to be considered a filling meal or a solid post-workout refuel.
- Is FroPro a good protein brand?
- We can't give a simple 'yes' or 'no' as 'good' is subjective, but FroPro consistently produces products with higher protein and lower sugar than their traditional supermarket counterparts. The brand started with ice cream and has expanded into a wide range of frozen meals and snacks. While their products, like these pizza slices, often have strong protein numbers, they can be highly processed and sometimes high in sodium. They are an Australian-owned brand, and their products are made in Australia.
- Where can I buy FroPro Pepperoni Pizza Slices in Australia?
- FroPro Pepperoni Pizza Slices are catalogued in the freezer aisle at Coles supermarkets across Australia. As stock can vary by store location, it's always a good idea to check the freezer section with the other ready meals. The brand may also sell products directly from their own website, but they are reliably found on Coles shelves. They come in a product containing two individually wrapped 180g slices.
- What's in FroPro Pepperoni Pizza Slices?
- FroPro Pepperoni Pizza Slices are built on a high-protein, low-carb pizza base made from a blend of wheat flour, wheat protein, and faba flour. The ingredient list totals 25 items, including the toppings: 16% pepperoni (pork-based), reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, and tomato sauce. It also contains several additives to maintain texture and shelf life, including a thickener (1413), a preservative in the pepperoni (250), and emulsifiers (491). It's a moderately processed product designed for convenience and high protein content.
- How do you cook FroPro Pepperoni Pizza Slices?
- FroPro Pepperoni Pizza Slices are designed to be cooked from frozen, primarily in a microwave. While specific times can vary based on your microwave's wattage, it typically takes a few minutes to heat through. This makes it a very fast and convenient option for a quick lunch or dinner when you're short on time. The packaging will have the most accurate heating instructions, but it's built for speed and convenience, not for oven baking.
