From The TESR Test Kitchen

Does anyone eat Lean Cuisine for the taste?

Not if they're sane.

Why do they eat it then?

To lose weight and to maintain low weight.

So it's a shame Lean Cuisine can't live up to its end of the bargain.  By contrast California Pizza Kitchen just promises you that their products will be tasty.

Lean Cuisine's Deep Dish Three Meat Pizza has 390 calories and their Traditional Deluxe Pizza has  340 calories.  California Pizza Kitchen's BBQ Chicken Pizza has 930.  And that sounds good.

Except that's a full pizza California Pizza Kitchen's offering.  In fact, it takes three individual serving Lean Cuisine Pizzas to equal the size of one California Pizza Kitchen.  When you divide the CPK's BBQ Chicken Pizza by three, you've got 310 calories.

So if you're able to show some restraint, your better bet is CPK.

And here's a helpful hint to all those people supposedly attempting to make diet food: DITCH THE DEEP DISH CRUST.  A thin crust will have much less calories.
