Caraway seeds have a strong taste to them. I think it is fennel, though that seed is also strong. Maybe chopped genugreek seeds??? We love the Red Baron pizzas, too.

I've never heard of genugreek seeds. No, it isn't caraway seeds, I tasted one of them and it is a strong taste sort of a lemony flavor to me. The seeds on the pizzas taste milder than that. The flavor goes really good with the meat toppings.
This is driving me insane!!

Anise seeds? Slight licorice flavor.

I think they are fennel seeds, chopped small. I like those little Totino pizzas too. When they go on sale for .89 I buy a few to stock up. They are just enough for a quick snack/meal for one. Like many products I have noticed they have shrunk in size slightly.

I want to say fennel seed too. But they do taste like anise, like Marilyn said.

I know exactly what you are talking about but have no idea what they are, LOL. Eric hates those pizzas but I will buy them sometimes for my school lunch.

It's whatever they use in Italian sausage. I thought it was anise seeds, but it might be fennel seeds.

I thought I could help you by going to the ingredient list on the website..

....hahahahaha -- it's listed and called; "Spice".

Here is a link that might be useful: Sausage Pizza Ingredients

Betting on fennel

Thank you all for the help.

Maddielee, that is a hoot they list it as "spice". It might be fennel seed. I just have the ground up fennel seed I put in my seafood gumbo. I haven't ever tasted Anise seed that I know of.

Boy,I wish I could come into some free pizza's like that! What a deal...free too!

I love to make my own pizzas and really wanted to have that seed to put on them. I guess I'll experiment and find me some fennel seeds and anise seed!

But those totino's sure come in handy for a quick meal!

Thanks again.

It is fennel seeds... I loved them in the school house pizzas as a little girl...I use to pick them out of the pizza and discovered they gave the pizza the Peculiar but great flavor

It's definitely fennel. I can't stand the taste of fennel, so I know it when I see/taste it. lol

My vote is fennel also since that's what is used in sausage.

It's fennel. I use fennel seed when making porketta. But I chop/grind it down. Used to get those things stuck in my teeth back when I used to eat Totino's. I used to like them. Great for a snack or a couple for a meal when we didn't feel like cooking or going out. Fast, cheap, tasty. Course I'd usually doctor them up with some bacon and extra cheese.
