Tip #3: DIGIORNO Artisan Style Melts are a perfect snack for your movie night and other 2-person occasions! The artisanal-style focaccia bread, infused with flavors like rosemary, garlic and onion, is drizzled with pure olive oil, then topped with carefully selected, high-quality ingredients, including a blend of real, fine cheeses, sauce from vine-ripened tomatoes and premium meats and vegetables.

We tried DIGIORNO Artisan Style Melts flavors: Pepperoni Speciale and Spicy Sausage Pomodoro, and they were delicious! DIGIORNO Artisan Style Melts are also available Quattro Formaggi and Chicken Bruschetta flavors. We can’t wait to try them as well!
