December 10, 20196 yr Anyone have a good go-to? I grabbed a couple from Jimmy's (local Italian grocery store) the other day. Good, not great. Seem to remember maybe Costco has a good one? But it's been years. Still searching for that illusive frozen pizza that can at least be in the same conversation with average to above average delivery places. Whatcha got, Surly?
December 10, 20196 yr Its not frozen per say but Walmarts pizzas and flat breads that you just heat up are damn good
December 10, 20196 yr The cheese one is good, too. Is it as good as what you could get at a decent local pizza joint (probably not) or a homemade one (no). Is it as good as the hot slices and whole pizzas offered at the Costco Food Court? Nah. That said, is it better than most frozen pies out there? Yes, and at a better price. And most importantly, will it scratch a pizza itch at 10pm? Most def. Or if you're trying to be a bit healthy (also available at Costco). Kinda pricey for two but very tasty for a cauliflower pie. This one also was a lifesaver when I embarked on my body transformation two years ago (lost 46 pounds /csb). This definitely scratched the pizza itch while keeping me ontrack.

December 10, 20196 yr always did like the thin crust costco. been getting outsiders pizza for the last few when i want a fancier frozen pie. good stuff.

December 10, 20196 yr Back in the 80s, Mama Rosa made a baking sheet size rectangular pizza that was legit.
December 10, 20196 yr i know it's trash but i like tony's. and i like it microwaved so the crust is soggy. i figure nothing frozen is going to come close to what i consider to be good pizza, so why not appreciate it in its completely inferior and soggy state?
December 10, 20196 yr It's been forever, but the Stouffer's French bread pizzas were a favorite. I also like the Red Baron little deep dish ones. Totino's will always have a place in my heart. taste like college. I read a review of a deep dish DiGiorno that bakes in it's own pan. I wasn't as impressed as the author.

December 10, 20196 yr It isn't frozen, but I like these for a lower calorie option on weeknights when I get a pizza craving.
December 10, 20196 yr ^^^^^^ What is this, a pizza for ants? I actually like the Tombstone original. I like the sauce and I like the way the crust turns out in the oven, when baked directly on the rack.
December 10, 20196 yr My mom used to buy Tony's so that's what I grew up on (when we weren't making pizza from a box mix like Appian Way). That might be why I prefer pizza with a flaky, pastry style crust now. I'll still get one from time to time just for old time's sake but they don't seem quite as good as I remembered them. My go to is Red Baron classic crust. Stouffer's French Bread Pizzas are in steady rotation. I just had one a few days ago. I love how they give you enough pepperoni to have some in every bite. They've messed with their pepperoni a couple times over the years with disappointing results but they've gone back to giving you an ample supply cut into quarters so you can ensure thorough coverage. I'm anal retentive enough that I line up the rounded edge of the pepperoni quarters with the rounded end of the bread and the right angle edges with the squared off end of the bread. Literally some in every bite. It's both functional and visually appealing. I mentioned this on the old site. I love a Totino's Party Pizza but I haven't bought one since they ditched the cardboard box and started packaging them in plastic bags. I used that cardboard box as a makeshift pizza peel and cutting board. Don't mess with my system. There's also a psychological component because they just look smaller and more fragile in those plastic bags.

It makes a nice plate as well to ensure that the only thing to wash is the utensil used to slice the pizza.

I was kind of hoping enough people would think like me that their sales would plummet and they'd be forced to bring back the cardboard box. Sadly, that hasn't happened. Oh well. I'm just one guy and my boycott probably costs them less than $10 in sales each year.
December 10, 20196 yr I like the California Kitchens brand. Good thin crust, and the toppings are typically pretty tasty.

December 10, 20196 yr If at HEb California Pizza Kitchen Newmans Own If at Central Market Table 87 Pizza Romana
December 10, 20196 yr ... when HEB is open. These used to be Central Market branded. They belong in the HEB thread, too -- they are outfuckingstanding.
December 10, 20196 yr Screamin' Sicilian and Home Run Inn are probably my top 2. For 6-7 bucks it's a value imo. Compared to a chain pizza at the same price.

December 10, 20196 yr We still buy totinos. 10 for 10 usually but it might be 10 for 11 since theyre like $1.09

December 10, 20196 yr Different choices for different occasions. For cheap drunk eats, and a bite of nostalgia for my poor student days? Totinos for sure. For a quick dinner with the family when I've worked late? Various thin crust options -- HEB's, Randall's, Costco's, all are good. For a healthier option? The cauliflower crust ones are actually pretty good. For a really good, restaurant tasting option? The Central Market brand choices are really good.
December 10, 20196 yr I like the Austin's Pizza ones that I find at HEB. Maybe a buck more than the Home Run Pizza that some of you like (I like it too).
December 10, 20196 yr These are tasty, with a thin crispy crust that's a bit on the dense side: These are great but I never see them at Costco anymore,
December 10, 20196 yr costco is great at getting you hooked on something and then not carrying it anymore.

I never bothered with utensils, just picked it up and ate it and would sometimes fold it in half and eat it calzone style.

I'm reliving my hypermetabolistic youth through my 15 YO son. The other night he had a late event at school and asked if we could stop by HEB on the way home to get a snack. He selected the 31 oz Bagel Bites Pizza Snacks. Fine. We got home and I saw him pop "some" in the oven. I didn't really think anything of it. A while later I got a hankering for some Bagel Bites Pizza Snacks too, so I went to the freezer to grab a few. No box. I looked in the refrigerator, because he's a dumbass, no box. I looked on the counter, no box. "Son, where are the Bagel Bites Pizza Snacks?" "I ate them all." 1.9 lbs of deliciously bad frozen Bagel Bites Pizza Snacks, gone in a flash. It would take me 6 meals to kill that box these days.
