frozen pizza- any of them decent?
 

i just noticed how many different frozen pizzas are available these days, i haven't had one in ages.

any of them any good?

DiGiorno

+1 :thumbsup

I like that Dr Oekars? the thin crust is decent

None of them. Make your own base, it takes a few minutes. Frozen ones always taste like cardboard :)

I've always liked Tombstone personally.

Trader joes has some good tasty ones..

but normal go with digiorno..

DiGiorno flat bread ones are pretty tasty imo

Tombstone and Red Baron are okay.

Celeste individuals are okay too, but frozen is never as good as fresh made.

I like DiGiorno

You can find par baked pizzas at most grocery stores these days. Way better option than frozen pizza IMO

old school stouffers french bread micro-bake

it doesn't even cost that much more to get one from dominos or somewhere cheap

th efrozen pies i eyeballed were in the $4-5 range, is domino's priced accordingly?

i can't ever get a pie delivered for under $25, with tip.

i usu. get the pizza hut meat lover's special.

I like the California Pizza Kitchen brand without red sauce!

those caught my eye too, i like their restaurant food.

Amy's frozen pizza is my favorite. Organic and very few ingredients.

Probably the best for you if you are concerned about your diet and it tastes good too.

Spend an hour and make your own small pizzas with quality ingredients, tape them up in freezer paper and you have great eats in the same time it takes for Dominos to deliver a box of grease. :thumbsup

Newman's Own thin crust pepperoni is delish

Caught my eye too.. I got two of the "thin and crispy" for $6.99 each on sale. Absolutely the biggest rip off and the funkiest tasting junk ever. I'm sure the orig company is quite good but since a major food engineering conglomerate took them over they suck royal ass. Absolutely the biggest rip off out there. The thin and crispy isnt even thin its a typical bland as hell tasting 3/8- 1/4' and they use salami instead of pepperoni and they give you virtualy NO cheese.

I vowed I would never buy anything from them and damn if they didn't get me again. Same conglomerate puts cellulose powder in all their cheese too.

Ok now that I vented, (this thread was what I needed)
best froz pizza now days for the money is Roma (and a Roma has at least 5 times more mozz than a cal kitchen pizza and we all know roma's are like 5 for $10.00 - Seriously!)

Best froz pizza for more money is Green Mill super thin and crispy. Always close to being sold out. Don't know if Green Mill is national.

I might try one of those Amys as I like to try new frozen pizzas.

pretty CRAFTy conglomerate but they wont fool me again!

:)

Few will have the time or dedication to make real dough so I will not go there, and if your willing to buy some spare dough from the local pizza shop may as well just buy the pizza too. So I will not even go into why home made is "almost" as best, cheaper, and quicker than delivery.

There is a compromise to be had. You can find the pre-cooked pizza type doughs at most grocery stores. They also freeze well, but do not assemble and freeze - very bad. Now just purchase your favorite toppings, slice them up and either freeze them on a flat surface and then toss in a bag when frozen, or use fresh. Do not freeze your cheese, nor your sauce. Most Jarred pasta sauce can be reduced a bit on the stove and made into a decent pizza sauce. Then lastly just understand how some things freeze. The ice crystals will pierce holes in the cell structures of the veggies. So any that contain extra water should be blanched or even slightly cooked before freezing to prevent wet pizza. Things like mushrooms can dump out a lot of liquid for instance. Bell peppers should be blanched, onions can be as is. etc.

Assemble (often do not even need to unfreeze bread). Have oven on full blast and a pizza stone or a few patio stones at the bottom of your oven will help. Cook on those stones if you have them. You will be pretty satisfied.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

so what are some good dough recipes?

I should have specified that I only eat the vegetarian ones. The ones with meat of any kind are weird tasting, I agree.

Hate to say it but none can be made in under 30 minutes. However several batches can be made in about 1-2 hours plus additional resting and kept in the fridge several days and possibly the freezer.

Yeah I read your post and didn't mean to take offense :)

But yeah I only tried the "Sicilian" thin and crispy" so the others might be ok.

Thing is they have this great couple of guys on the box (orig owners and you think damn looks good. Then it is only 12 1/2 oz and you think, damn must be really quality.

Then you open the box and the salami (notice that is why they call it "sicilian" so they can f you over with cheaper salami) is 2" in diam which means under these huge things the pizza doesn't cook as much unless you cook the heck out of it in which case your "salami" is like leather.

Then you cook it and it has a weird non pizza smell. The sausage is ok and there is just enough cheese to let you know, "yes there is supposed to be cheese".

So I read the box, "who in the hell makes this"

Wallah! F'd again by the conglomerate. :)

whew, i was going to pick one up, close call! :1orglaugh

DiGiorno

my pops is big on making homemade bread, has this really nice bread oven and buys the best yeast and ingredients.

i should get him to make me some pizza dough

That's exactly what I was going to say. I catch them at Vons when they are on sale for 2 for $10 and stock up.

Being from Brooklyn, I'm real critical of Pizza - and this Pizza (for frozen) is REALLY tasty and good! The sauce is delicious!

I usually get the Margherita Pizza ...

Webmasters love food threads. :thumbsup:thumbsup

FROZEN PIZZAS ARE THEY DECENT
Ask someone that in the city .. LoL over here .. Frozen decent pizzas ..
HAVE ANY GOOD DEAD PUSSY LATELY???

NO MAN of course not there ain't no good FROZEN PIZZA
Please
NO!

The sicilian is the worst, followed by the ones with chicken. Cheese and veggies FTW!

killer! i shop at von's, i will pick this up.:thumbsup

If I'm not lazy and want to make my own, I go to the local independent pizza shop and pick up a small dough ball for like a $1.50 - $2.00. Roll it out at home and put whatever you want on it.

I like the "Jack's" brand put out by Kraft, very good stuff. For single pizzas, those smaller Totino's pizzas are pretty tasty to.

:2 cents:

California Pizza Kitchen FTW

Ya, I've eaten great frozen pizza. Can't remember the brand name though.

Stouffers French Bread pizza. It's some yummy shit.

always a tombstone fan here

I like the california pizza kitchen ones, but they are pretty bad for you

Sounds really yummy I will check if they have in Montreal.

No F'ing clue, I'm not really a picky eater, but the one I just ate was amazing, no clue what it was, I just put it in the oven and tossed everything else.

Not sure if its available outside the North East, but Tree Tavern pwns.

DiGiorno garlic bread pizza, or Freschetta.

Wow, noone's mentioned Delissio? It's one of the few wholesome crusts I find that's non-cardboardy. Kind of like wholegrain bread crust. Not to mention the mafia style commercials hehe.
