July 17, 20205 yr Bola, a local Austin product sold in teh frozen pizza section at HEB and Central Market
July 17, 20205 yr tell me about these heb deli pizzas. you make your own pie? they give you the dough, you smash it, you pound it, you fling it up in the air, and then you get to put your sauce and you get to sprinkle your cheese and THEN you slide it into the oven? it’s all supervised?
July 17, 20205 yr The Crav’n pub style 4 meat pizza is surprisingly good. It’s got cheese toppings then another layer of cheese and the sauce is pretty flavorful.

They built a pizza oven in the back yard, and started having pizza parties. Expanded to catering and then farmer’s markets in Austin, then commercial. They make a high end dough, par bake the crust, add ingredients and flash freeze it. It’s as close to an “artisan” frozen pizza as I’ve had. More expensive, but worth it

July 17, 20205 yr I've tried many of the suggestion on here. If I can't get my hand on the above mentioned fresh HEB pizza for HEB PLUS, this is my standby

July 17, 20205 yr Still get one of these from time to time for nostalgia purposes. Put some valentina black label on it before consuming.

July 30, 20205 yr Not frozen, but refrigerated. Pretty damn good from Walmart. One person could demolish one if so desired ($5). Hamburger, chicken, pepperoni, japs

November 16, 20205 yr Strolling through the frozen food aisle the other day, saw a Ginos East deep dish for the first time (or noticed for the first time). Baked it last night. Somewhat surprisingly, the crust came out pretty well, but the sauce was pretty bland. Kind of opposite of what I expected. A bit disappointing.

Someone mentioned the Gino's East frozen at HEB upthread. I've been wanting to try one. Might not, now. I've ordered frozen Lou Malnati's online and they turned out pretty good all the way around. Certainly not as good as getting one fresh-made at the source, but better than I expected. You can get a 4-pack delivered for ~$100 which isn't cheap but, if I think about the fact that a Conan's large Savage is $28 (after coupon), it's not crazy, either.

We've done both Lou's or Giordano's through delivery/shipping, we prefer Lou's. We've gone through Taste of Chicago and have done the pizza and Italian beef sandwiches also, really like the Italian beef.

The mail-order cheese is really the only one worth it, imo.

November 18, 20205 yr We've enjoyed a couple Giordano's pizzas in the last few months. One frozen that we cooked at home and one fresh we did takeout from a location here in Indy. Both were good. Deep dish isn't my favorite, but every once in a while it hits the spot. I've been eyeing Gino's East in the frozen section at Kroger... but based off of this thread I'll save some money and stick to other favorites.

November 18, 20205 yr Kroger's fried chicken has also come through in the clutch for us. Go about 7 PM and they usually have a dollar knocked off the price.

November 18, 20205 yr does HEB even have fried chicken? the stores that did have hot deli ripped those out in favor of meal simple and new stores don't have hot deli. walmart deli adjacent pizza is pretty good. used to get the 3 meat fire-baked version a couple times a month. i always liked the geno's east pies and saw they came back to my HEBs in different packaging recently. i'd toss more pep on it with about 12 minutes left. though i now have enough pizza making equipment i should just make my own.

November 20, 20205 yr Randall’s deli near me (Memorial and Beltway) kicks the shit out of Bunker Hill HEB. I don’t get what they are doing at Bunker Hill. They went to the trouble of installing a bbq counter that was pretty decent. Ripped that out and half if it went to coolers for Meal Simple and half is still covered with plastic.

They had killer fried chicken back in the 90s. Spicy 8-piece for $4.99 was the tits!
December 19, 20205 yr Anyone had this? Buddy just recommended it, apparently Walmart carries it. Never seen it before.

March 30, 20214 yr The Mid Town Pancetta pizza at HEB for its pice is one of the best frozen pizza’s I’ve ever had. The cheese is high quality, the Pancetta is salty and a bit sweet, grilled onions and the crust is really good also. I was pleasantly surprised, it could use a bit more toppings though. Edited March 30, 20214 yr by Hook1997
March 30, 20214 yr Wife has gotten a couple of the Malnati's frozen pies before when visiting that area. They're ok, but such a far cry from fresh that it doesn't seem worth it. I'd rather have a fresh pizza from any of our local places (including the damn gas station).
March 30, 20214 yr Got a couple of Pequods coming through Goldbelly soon, looking forward to it as I’ve never got to try them during Chicago visits.
