(Easy Find)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

If you are making a new recipe and it calls for orzo, you might get to try a new ingredient. However, it might be something you\u2019ve never heard of or something you don\u2019t know how to find. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are using orzo for the first time, you might ask yourself, where is orzo in grocery store?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orzo can be found in the pasta section of the grocery stores such as Walmart, Target, Safeway and Kroger. Orzo is pasta, but can behave like rice or grain when it\u2019s cooked. Because orzo is technically pasta, it\u2019s usually with other pasta in the store. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first place to look in any grocery is in the pasta aisle. If it\u2019s not organized by size, alphabetical order, or popularity, orzo might be near the specialty pasta.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In certain cases, orzo can be found with rice, couscous, or other grains. Sometimes it is confused for a type of rice because the pasta noodles are so small. It\u2019s often near the top or bottom of the aisle. If there is no orzo in the pasta aisle, try the world foods aisle and look near rice or couscous.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your store doesn\u2019t have orzo with the pasta, there is likely no orzo in that store. It\u2019s not an incredibly common type of pasta and isn\u2019t likely to be restocked as often as angel hair or cavatappi noodles. While most grocery stores stock orzo, you might have to look elsewhere for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to buy orzo near me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for orzo and haven\u2019t bought it before, you want to be sure you\u2019re going to the right store before making the trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check which stores are near you and look on their websites to see if orzo is in stock before heading out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Walmart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every Walmart store stocks orzo. They have a Walmart Great Value brand as well as the Barilla brand of the noodle, and it is kept in the pasta aisle with the rest of the noodles. The pasta aisle usually shares an aisle with world foods. However, not every Walmart is the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Walmart\u2019s app, you can enter your store\u2019s location and search for a product. It will give you a map of that specific store and the aisle number of what you are looking for. The Walmart app can give you a precise location of the orzo that you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Target<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Target was originally a clothing and department store. However, the brand has recently added a grocery brand, Good and Gather. Good and Gather offers many staple grocery items, including pasta. Orzo is stocked by most Target stores. It\u2019s more likely to be in a super Target, but almost every Target now has a grocery section and will carry the pasta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Safeway<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Safeway is another large grocery store chain. In addition to its brand, Safeway carries Barilla orzo pasta. You\u2019ll be able to find it in the pasta aisle. However, Safeway\u2019s stores vary in layout, so ensure you know your location before looking up the inventory on the website. You can see whether they have orzo, but the location might vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Kroger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kroger is the third-largest grocery chain in the United States. It\u2019s one of the most widely available grocery stores and carries orzo in all of its stores. If you live near a Kroger you can find the pasta in the aisle with the rest of the Italian pasta, sauces, and cheeses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Trader Joe\u2019s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trader Joe\u2019s is known for organic and health-focused foods. Although it might be a pricier store, it\u2019s often a great place to go for specialty items. If you need gluten-free or organic orzo, you are more likely to find it at Trader Joe\u2019s than at the other stores on this list (although Walmart has a large selection of gluten-free pasta).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trader Joe\u2019s also has several orzo-based pasta salads. Because orzo isn\u2019t as long as other pasta, it works well in Mediterranean-style dishes. Trader Joe\u2019s has an Orzo Mediterranean Pasta Salad that comes pre-made and works well as a side dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to buy orzo online<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t live near one of these stores or can\u2019t make it out of your house, you can always order your ingredients online. Many grocery stores offer delivery or curbside pick-up and you can take advantage of these features. However, you can also simply order boxes of orzo through the mail and wait for them to arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you order pasta through the mail, you have to be prepared to wait a day or two. Here are some of the top options for ordering orzo online:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
