FROZEN PIZZA....

Has any one ever had any "luck" finding a real good one.??

I must confess California Pizza has been "tasty" in a pinch...

If one must ... Lotsa Pasta has decent frozen pizzas, and those from Liquor Barn are not terrible. Of course, you can always pile on your own unique ingredients to liven a frozen one up a bit.

I'm seriously addicted to the ones from Lotsa Pasta. ValuMarket carries them and between that and their outstanding beer cooler, I'm in there all the time!

I agree with the likes of Lotsa Pasta (almost always one or two in my freezer) but would add the idea of having one of their pizza bases (or even a Boboli) in the freezer at the ready. It's truly amazing what one can come up with foraging in the freezer, fridge, cupboards and garden. We always have some stubs of cheese and a few "choice scraps" such as cooked shrimp, calamata olives, canned artichokes, etc that make an impromptu pizza not only a meal, but a creative culinary challenge. Fresh basil from the garden and thin sliced garlic with a little olive oil is enough to make something worthwhile. We've even done the same with frozen bread or pita with great results. The key is remembering to stock, reclaim and retain quality ingredients that can become a meal at a moment's notice... without having to get in the car and drive somewhere.

I'll probably get reamed for this, but a good, cheap frozen pizza is Tony's (at almost all supermarkets). It tastes like a good (frozen) pizza should. Kroger puts it on sale frequently. Tombstone is a decent runner-up.

When the school year rolls around (and it is looming on the horizon like Godzilla looking for Tokyo) I'll make pizza dough in flat 10" rounds and freeze it. Just as easy to pull that out and load it with whatever ingredients/sauce that strikes our fancy than trying to Doctor up a commercal cardboard pie.

Digiorno (sp?) is what we usually choose on the frozen pizza front.

I can't spell it either but Degiorno's is greatness for what it is of course.

I just had the thin crust deluxe. Regular crust seems better. I actually prefer thin crust.

I can't believe this conversation is occurring in this forum! Are any of the frozen pizzas really worth eating (with the possible exception of "Lotsa Pasta")? With all of the good pizza parlors locally why would you want to use frozen pizza? There are lots of other foods that are quick to prepare that taste a lot better, and if you want a pizza at home just take a Boboli crust add a few toppings and you've got a good pizza cheaper and faster!

Frozen pies can be convenient, especially when you have children. I like them myself, just feel guilty about eating them when I look at the nutrition facts before cooking

Oh come on. Good local pizza parlors don't even enter into the equation. Because the circumstances under which one would use a frozen pizza are not even remotely similair to those under which I would go to Cliftons. I can't believe that question was even made with any degree of seriousness.

As for the Boboli crust + toppings, yes that makes for a tastier treatl, but you severely over state the convenience in time and money involved. With a frozen pizza I'm not cleaning and chopping any vegetables or pre-cooking any meats, both of which you will spend more money on than for a frozen pizza.

I heat the oven, I unwrap, I stick it in. Nothing faster, nothing cheaper. Unless you are using a microwave. I'm sorry that these concerns appall you so.

I really like Amy's Organic frozen pizzas. They cost more than one would normally pay for a frozen pizza, but it's worth it.

Red Baron does the job if I'm doing frozen pizza.

Pizza rolls.........

DiGiornos is good, and Freschetta Self Rising pizza is very good. Lotsa Pasta's is great too.

I also really like Bagel Bites.
