Can you tell us what they looked like? Brand and manufacture date? Mine have all been brown and were of recent manufacture.

No I cannot...There were Bridgeford but I don't know what the manufacture date was and have since discarded the pizza wrappers. I do remember however that it wasn't brown like the pic...although it may have been turning that direction as far as color. Sorry I couldn't be more help

Daves45auto did a video review of this ration and had the same experience.

I picked up a couple of the Sterling pizzas, the one that I opened was brown and had an "off" smell to it. So much so that I didn't even taste it. Don't know if that's the way MRE pizza is supposed to smell or not. Anyway, I found a Bridgeford pizza on Bass Pro's website of all places! It should be in on Tuesday. When it comes in I'll open the other Sterling and take a couple of comparison pictures.

How did they compare?

Sorry all, got busy. I'll review them tomorrow and load some pictures if I can!

So I got a chance to heat the two up and do a small comparison. The Bridgford pizza is noticeably lighter in color than the Sterling and it had a fresher smell. You could smell the bread and sauce distinctly. It was dry, but the essence of pizza was there. The Sterling had a sour, off putting smell to it and it looked awful, but tasted okay. Personally I think the Bridgford product is superior. I imagine it would be pretty demoralizing to open an MRE and get something like the Sterling product. Just my two cents.

I’m with you on that

I agree.
I had like 10 Bridgefords. I think I have like one left.
Not bad for a slice of pizza in a bag. Lol

If you get lucky you can score the Bridgeford ones at Walmart in a 2 pack from around $7 and about the same from Cabelas
