Favorite Frozen Pizza

[The Amish Tyrant]

I keep a few frozen pizzas on hand for busy week nights. My gauge is Little Caesars (a Michigan pizza chain) offers Hot and Ready pizzas that are awaiting you in a "hot box" for $5 (large cheese or pepperoni) with certain upgrades (extra pepperoni or stuffed crust) amounting to a pizza night for under $20.

In other words, I tend to avoid paying much more than $5 for a frozen pizza since I can just pick one up that's ready to go. No, Little Caesars is not my favorite, but it's a quick meal that tends to satisfy everyone.

For frozen pizza, Gino's East has the deep dish, Home Runn has a decent thin crust, Tony's has a surprisingly good Mexican pizza, and Freshetta has a legit mushroom and onion "white" pizza.

What's your "go to" frozen pizza and why?

Jacks. They taste good, and theyre cheap.


Home Run Inn is a great brand I can't find anymore.. It beat any take out pizza.

This one, because it's my son's favourite, it's the only one all 4 people in my family all like, and it's only $3.

When I was much younger I loved those crappy Totino's pizza. They use to cost .99 cents. I'd pull it out of the oven and fold it in half and eat it like a sandwich. Not sure if they even make them anymore.

We seldom buy frozen pizzas anymore. If we do, it would be one of those DiGiorno's thick crusts or a Lou Malnati's frozen deep dish.

I’ll eat any pizza. Even bad pizza is good. Red Barons is good and cheap.

I don't know if it's even still made or not, but they definitely don't carry it at grocery stores in NE Ohio.

Red Baron used to make a Mexican Supreme Pizza that was my favorite frozen pizza of all time. Truthfully, I don't eat alot of frozen pizza anymore... but if I could get my hands on one of these I'd probably eat a dozen of 'em!

The Private Selection brand has some unique combinations and they are damn tasty for frozen pizza.

Try the Jack's version. Same concept and readily available in Meijer and Kroger (if they have those stores just south of the Mitten). Let me know how similar it is.

I always have at least one on hand and usually add some salsa or other sauce (an avocado hot sauce is a current favorite). But it is legit "as is" and you can't beat the price (like $2.50 on sale).

I also get Jack's cheese pizza (or another thin crust "cardboard" pizza) and top with spinach dip. The local grocery stores tend to add water chestnuts to their dip, so it gives the pizza a nice crunch. It's sinful, but delicious.

Favorite?

This:



Covered in as much of this as you can put in an even layer:



That's just my particular favorite but really you can cheese up just about any frozen pizza and they're great.

I survived high school and college with these and I'll always have a particular fondness for them:



The Red Baron Mexican pizzas were a special treat during those times.

Oh yes, Totino's was definitely a staple meal for me in my first apartment during college. My favorite variety was the Triple Meat!

Jacks. Somehow as cheap as they are, they are just so good. Especially on the grill.. next level.

We don't eat much frozen pizza, but last night we had a Whole Foods 365 pizza with Mozzarella cheese in very small bits that disappeared, and tomato. My wife, who has often made pizza from scratch, crust and all, fixed this one up before she put it in the oven, adding big slices of Mozzarella and fresh tomatoes. The crust was thin and fairly good, so with some fortification with our ingredients, it was good. Frozen pizza is a time saver.

Safeway's branded Signature line seems to always deliver a quality product.

I’ve tried most of them and like Stouffer’s… after I jazz it up A little.

not a huge fan. But what's really good is a crust (baboli or whatever that is works, but is not ideal) with pizza sauce baked and topped with a basic garden type salad tossed with Italian dressing or similar type. It's way better then it sounds like it should be. Also more filling then it sounds like it should be too. Seriously everyone I've bugged about it does it regularly now.

I have made and enjoyed several "salad pizzas". A caesar salad on top of baked pizza dough (with melted cheese and dressing as the sauce) is both legit and filling.

Another is a BLT pizza with mayonnaise spread on after the dough and cheese are baked. In other words, bake dough with cheese, spread mayonnaise, top with chopped bacon, lettuce (sometimes dressed in ranch), and tomatoes.

The combination of a warm dough/crust with cold salad is suprisingly good, especially on a warm day.
