Is there a delicious frozen pizza anymore?
I don't think there is. About 25-30 years ago we used to buy this frozen pizza called Bravissimo. It had a delicious crust, delicious sauce, lots of spinach, and I think 3 cheeses. They stopped making it about 20 years ago, I think. I don't know why. It was so good.
Sometimes I just need something I can throw in the oven that doesn't cost a fortune. We are out of running water today so I can't wash pots and pans or even give my hands a really good scrub. So I was looking in the supermarket. Even the crappy cardboard-tasting frozen pizzas were $8-10. I ended up buying some that were on sale for $5 plus the cauliflower crust pizzas as I find they have more flavor. I fully admit to being very picky about pizza. I don't like Papa Murphy's, I think it's bland. But I don't expect much from frozen pizza, but it should taste like something. |

Re: Is there a delicious frozen pizza anymore?
On the recommendation of a friend I recently bought a few Dr.
Oetker pizzas for $3.50 each. I will try to come back with a review after they are baked. My usual go to frozen pizza is from Costco, but I thought I would mix it up for my boys (they are the ones who pop one in the oven when they need a quick meal). I like the gf cauliflower crust pizza that Costco sells, but it isn’t as filling as a grain crust pizza for me.

Re: Is there a delicious frozen pizza anymore?
I doctor the frozen gf pizza from Costco. I add bbq sauce, canned chicken, artichoke hearts, mushrooms and pineapple depending on what I have in the house. I also add a sprinkle of sharp cheddar cheese. It’s my go to when my family wants grain filled dinner.
Currently our Costco has the Milton’s brand with peppers. Not my favorite. I liked the gf cheese pizza they had for a while better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Is there a delicious frozen pizza anymore?
There is a deep dish Giorandos we really like - its the only frozen pizza that we think tastes good (*fully disclaimer, ds will eat any and all frozen pizzas). . . but when we want ease of frozen pizza we often do those refridgerated ones the grocery stores make. And they are larger so a better deal.
I don't think we have ever had Papa Murphys. We dont like Papa Johns and will do Dominos for cheap low quality pizza bc its better than most frozen imo.

Re: Is there a delicious frozen pizza anymore?
I like California kitchen, it's a very thin flaky crust, and the toppings are quality.

Re: Is there a delicious frozen pizza anymore?
Yes, using a pizza stone helps so much!

Re: Is there a delicious frozen pizza anymore?
We do have pizza stones but no Aldi.
I'm pretty picky, I admit. I've tried all of the above except for Aldi and I'd rather just have cold cereal then eat bland pizza. . We make homemade pizza once a week when things aren't crazy and I'm totally spoiled. I think it's the sauce that's lacking in frozen pizza. It's so bland. |

I hate Costco pizza so much. It's disgusting. Can't believe how many they sell.

Re: Is there a delicious frozen pizza anymore?
I agree Costco pizza is gross. I like almost everything from Costco, but not their pizza.

Re: Is there a delicious frozen pizza anymore?
I make a “homemade” pizza with store bought dough once a week but recently I bought a D’giornos which I haven’t had in years and we used to love. It was some sort of flat crust variety and it was just awful. I was shocked and had pretty much the same reaction as the title of this thread. Maybe their regular variety is still ok. I don’t know. I’m kind of afraid to even try.

Re: Is there a delicious frozen pizza anymore?
If you already make pizzas at home you could freeze those. Precook the crust and then just top and freeze
