All Time Favorite Frozen Pizza??

OhThrowed@reddit

Ok, I know Totino's is objectively bad. I know it's the cheapest out there.

I still have nostalgic fondness for it.

red_tuna@reddit

I love Totino's for its humility.

Most other frozen pizzas I've had tasted like a below average pizza.

Totino's pizza doesn't even taste like a pizza, it tastes like an above average tv dinner.

The key is to add toppings and oregano and cook it directly on the oven grate. Fits perfectly into a toaster oven. And for the finale, cut it into 4 triangles that resemble pizza slices.

osteologation@reddit

better to zap in microwave roll it up and eat it like a giant hot pocket.

[-]

Fuck yeah lmao. Glad to see other people doing it and i'm just not looking like a weirdo lol. Totinos are great because its one of the only frozen pizzas small enough to fit in a microwave, big enough to be an actual meal (celeste aint got shit on it, celeste are also dog ass), and actually heats up well enough in a short enough time without needing an oven. I try not to have as much frozen stuff anymore, but every now and then it hits the spot in a weird nostalgic way.

Ha, that's how I used to eat them. Everyone called me crazy, but it was so good. It made the pizza more chewy.

WalkingTarget@reddit

My college dorm cafeteria had these, a can of soda, and a mini candy of some sort (candy bar, bag of M&Ms, etc.) as a “meal” late on Friday and Saturday nights. People would use up left over meal credits to stock up on the sodas.

It was years before I figured out what brand they were and, yeah, the nostalgia is strong.

It's the taco bell if frozen pizza. It knows what it is, and owns it.

I honestly prefer frozen pizza not pretending to be not frozen pizza. Digiorno I've always hated as I absolutely know it wasn't delivery. It doesn't taste like traditional frozen pizza, but it doesn't taste like real pizza. It's some sort of bastard in-between.

I add small diced onion and med cheddar + parm to mine.

It’s horribly calorie dense and makes my stomach hurt for a while.

DesignerCorner3322@reddit

Hm. I can't say I've eaten enough frozen pizza to have a favorite. I used to eat Celeste ones as a kid but those were not great.

[-]

fookinavocado@reddit

Not traditional at all but the Trader Joe's roasted garlic and pesto pizza.

[-]

KingSolomonsFrog@reddit

YES! This has *the* best crust of any frozen pizza.

[-]

EmploymentEmpty5871@reddit

I am still a Tombstone pizza guy.

[-]

Streamjumper@reddit

Any halfway decent frozen pizza cooked in a pellet grill. The wood taste plus the convection cooking kick it up a few notches. Even the Aldis 3 buck frozen puck and wallyworld bargain pizzas get good in there.

What is untrue about it?

[-]

Thereelgerg@reddit

That everyone in those states has "at least one good local pizza shop available every few blocks no matter what direction you go."

[-]

hopopo@reddit

That is like saying there is a Deli on every street corner in NYC, or everyone in Texas owns guns, or everyone in Wisconsin likes/eats cheese.

In less than 10 mile radius from my house, I have at least two pizza shops that have been open for over 90 years and owned by same families, and one that Italians named one of the best pizzas in the world. In addition to many other local favorites.

All of them are different styles, made fresh and available at any time.

Far_Winner5508@reddit

Mama Rosa frozen pizzas They were 2x 12” pizzas for $8. Really cheap pizzas but the sauce flavor was addictive.

Went out of business during the lockdown.

Current fave are Kirkland cauliflower crust supreme pizzas. Can never eat just part of one.

tcrhs@reddit

I like Tombstone pepperoni the best.

Stouffers French bread pizza

Better than a subreddit post. The Youtuber Max Miller made it for his series Tasting History and he says it’s identical to what he remembers.

He has a link to the recipe in the description.

[-]

StumblinThroughLife@reddit

I love these in the sense that I don’t need to buy a whole pizza for 1 person if I want pizza. Hits the spot

i just ordered a whole 12" pie for myself

Commodity pizza with Aldi coming in a close second.

If you've ever had the 4x6 rectangle pizza from school, you've had commodity pizza.

You, as an adult, can buy it by the case.

You need a deep freeze. It's literally a box of pizza.

https://www.schwansfoodservice.com/product-list/?products=sheeted-pizza&brands=tonys

These fit on half sheet trays, they're reheat fully cooked pizza. Thing is, you don't have to keep them the way they're served to students. Dress it up. Throw some basil and red pepper on it. Hit it with some shredded gruyere.

Because it's already made perforated pizza, you can break them apart into gallon ziploc bags and heat up 1 or 2 at a time, so you don't have to eat more than 1 slice and they otherwise just live in your freezer.

96 slices of pizza for about 100 bucks is honestly a good deal and if you have a lot of mouths to feed or you just really like rectangle pizza, it works.

I am still mourning the California Pizza Kitchen Uncured Pepperoni. I think it still exists but it hasn't been at Walmart or Kroger in my area since 2020. The other varieties have been! But not that one. I think I found it at Target once but that dried up too.

I've had a lot of good ones from Aldi though.

[-]

Cacophonous_Silence@reddit

That uncured pepperoni definitely still exists

Stores are weird about which they keep in stock though

[-]

maple-belle@reddit

Stores are so weird. The only place in this city where I can get the CPK Roasted Garlic Chicken is at Target, despite other stores having CPK in general. Walmart has plenty of Marie Calendar's meals but my favorite is only at Kroger.

If I have to get a frozen pizza, I'm almost always going to go Screamin’ Sicilian.

Good pizza and the pepperoni one isn't half and their cheese one hits the spot if you want a regular cheese pizza.

CD84@reddit

I have occasionally seen these in my area, I'm going to buy one next time I see it!

AssCaptain777@reddit

Brick oven slapped.

SSPeteCarroll@reddit

I housed one of these last night while drinking and playing video games with friends.

Apocalyptic0n3@reddit

Meijer used to sell these Mama Mia personal pizzas. They were on the small side, but they were meant to be microwaved and would be done in like 90 seconds. The cheese melted just the right amount and it was quick to eat. You could have an okay hot meal in like 7 minutes total. It wasn't the greatest tasting, but I miss them.

Writes4Living@reddit

Its almost always Totinos for me. Supreme or combination. Cheap but satisfying.

Weirdly, in the Fall, when ragweed starts flying through the air, I will crave a Totinos Supreme. It can be the pizza rolls version too.

[-]

Killahdanks1@reddit

Tombstone. My favorite is Supreme, but I’m married so it will be pepperoni.

[-]

Jellolips@reddit

Omg same 🤣

[-]

SnarkyFool@reddit

My regular go-to fave is Motor City, a Costco staple.

My nostalgic fave is of course Totino's because of the college buddies I ate it with and the sporting events I remember us watching while we ate it.

And once a year or so I get a Lou Malnati jones - the frozen ones actually taste pretty damn close to being there. One year we got a Christmas combo pack that had a couple pizzas and the stuff to make Portillo's at home. That slapped real nice. They'll ship it to you anywhere in the US, I believe...

California Pizza Kitchen Sicilian

Aldi used to have a great one, Angry something or other, iirc. I don't think they have it anymore.

If we count local pizza places that sell at local grocery stores, we have a place called Mr. Pizza that sells frozen pizzas at Hy-Vee.

[-]

YourOldCellphone@reddit

Austin’s pizza has been killer. I think it’s Texas specific though.

Enough_Roof_1141@reddit

Look at Mr Connecticut over here.

[-]

sleepyb_spooky@reddit

For sure Red Baron pizza. Something about the crust is just so good

[-]

Enough_Roof_1141@reddit

One called Lotzza Motzza

The older version of stuffers French bread pepperoni and sausage. Sauce has a bit more oregano bite and that fennel sausage just smacked

(Also smacked the roof of your mouth but was well worth the day and a half of pain)

Home Run Inn and California Pizza Kitchen are usually what’s in our freezer but my Lodge Cast Iron Pizza Pan makes any of them a notch better. Preheat with the pan in the oven, it usually knocks off a minute or two of cook time as well

[-]

Sleepygirl57@reddit

I’m not a pizza person but I love me a Tostinos. It doesn’t have much sauce which is what I don’t like about pizza.

[-]

ViewtifulGene@reddit

Of the national brands available everywhere, Home Run Inn in my favorite. I love the buttery, croissant-like crust and the fennel-packed sausage.

Tombstone pizza is nostalgic for me. I lived off of that when I was growing up.

Not frozen, it's refrigerated. Nardone brothers pizza is the best grocery store pizza.

BullsOnParadeFloats@reddit

Costco food court pizza technically qualifies as frozen pizza.

Red Baron Brick Oven

All frozen pizza isn't great, but that's the best one I've found.

Stouffer's French Bread # Cheese Pizza. (3, 4?)

Newman’s Own makes some nice ones, especially this one:

https://newmansown.com/product/spinaci-formaggi-stone-fired-crust/

Depends. I grew up with Tombstone, and that is a particular kind of pizza, it reminds me of Wisconsin dive bars. Now I buy that, or for full size I get DiGiorno, but Red Baron makes these small diameter mini-pies that fit nicely in an air fryer that are great. Stouffers does the best french bread pizza. And those Mama Celeste microwave ones can be alright if you are tired and have the munchies and are broke. I will say, most of them have too little cheese, I added shredded mozzarella to nearly all of them. And I'm not a huge pepperoni fan, so I often get the supreme versions and pick the pepperoni off before cooking.
