Earlier this week, a trusted food blogger known online as SnackWithZach shared a first look at the upcoming release, Totino's Cheese Pizza Ramen, in a video uploaded to TikTok on Tuesday, Jan. 28.

"It does smell like pizza," SnachWithZach said in the clip.

He later compared its scent to that of Lasagna Hamburger Helper. As for the overall flavor, he says it's "very tomato soupy" with some cheese flavor packed in there.

"It's really better than I was expecting," he admitted. "It's like ramen tomato soup."

Fellow fast food influencer Snackolator was also sent an early sample of the product.

"We're entering some new dimensions in the food world!" he joked on Instagram.

According to a statement shared directly with Parade, Totino's Ramen Noodles are launching in two varieties–Cheese Pizza and Buffalo Chicken Pizza–at Walmart locations nationwide beginning in March for $1.88 each.

Though there's a bit of time between now and then, foodies are already sharing their plans for the new release.

"Would probably be really good with some added shredded moz and some oregano," one TikToker suggested.

"Now I want lasagna flavor too," another fan wrote via Instagram. "I hope they make an array of flavors."

"I want to try!" a third exclaimed, noting, "I’d add mozzarella cheese to it though."

Not everyone seems sold on the idea—even after SnachWithZach's surprising praise.

"The look of it screams heart burn 😂," one viewer quipped.

"This looks awful," a second shared, joking that they still "need it."

"This is gonna have my stomach sounding like 2 boots in a dryer," another teased.

One more suggested that "after that S'more ramen release, it's just a free for all now 😂."

Still, it's not the worst instant ramen flavor fans have come across, as one appears to still be haunted by Cup of Noodles' limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Flavored Ramen, calling it "the worst I've ever seen."

Totino's seemingly has big plans for 2025, as it recently announced another divisive snack option: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Totino's Pizza flavor.
