Best frozen pizza

[vraiblonde]

Motor City Pizza, you get it at Walmart for $8.

I was never a big frozen pizza person because they all suck and aren't worth the calories. When I want pizza I'd rather do it right and hit up a pizza place. But the internet said Motor City was the best of them, so yesterday I tried it.

OMG! YUM!

It's a deep dish pizza in its own little bake thingy. You have to use the oven, not the microwave. But this is a damn fine pizza. The crust is crispy/chewy like it should be and I didn't have to add toppings because they were already generous. If you're a NY style purist you won't like it, so don't bother unless you can pretend its loaded cheesy bread and not get too wrapped around the axle about it.

I'll most definitely buy this again.

I'm always on the quest for a decent frozen. Best so far is a deep dish from Aldi, Gino's East, but next time I'm in WM I'll look for Motor City.

NY style snob here, but a good pizza is a good pizza. Fav is a genuine Sicilian square pie.

I like DiGiorno‘s, but like everything else – too much of a good thing is not a good thing, so I don’t mind changing it up. And I don’t do the grocery shopping so I eat whatever my wife buys. I always tell her to buy the best that my money can buy – some days I go hungry.

Bellatoria is pretty good frozen pizza, if you like the thin crust. I get the supreme, toppings are generous, and it taste like a pizza.

Pizza is not high on my list anyway but I always regarded frozen pizzas no different than 711 Pizza... or school cafeteria Pizza.

Tolerable if you doctor it.

Not sure, I get them from Food Lion in Leonardtown.

Aldi's has Geno's East??????? I've been ordering it from Geno's direct for like 15 years! They ship it in a case of dry ice.

Only on rare occasions in the 'buy before it's gone' freezer case. I stock up when I see them. Have to check on Wen when new stuff is put out, and they disappear fast.

Really?! I always saw those and assumed it was just another whatever frozen pizza brand. Don't think I even noticed they were deep dish! I kinda like their fresh ones when you first enter Aldi. It says not to, but I stick them in the freezer and bake when I need it. Tastes the same as when baked day of purchase.

I too love and prefer NY style but ho-boy my grandmother made an amazing Sicilian pizza I miss those dearly. But I'll happily try any pizza any style.

Tried a few, eh. The crust leaves a lot to be desired.

I'm from NY, so kinda spoiled and longing for a real NY pie baked in a real pizza oven, not the chain belt. MOD has one, but the crust just doesn't taste the same.

Didn't you say it's the water?

I've long come to terms that all pizza outside of NY/CT will be just meh, so what I really mean is...it's not bad for meh

 

[Sneakers]

That's one theory, widely repeated. There are some pizzerias that import NY water to make their dough.

Speaking from experience, the aquifers on LI have some of the best tasting water anywhere.

I've had pizza so tasty, it caused me to speak Italian. You don't find those pizzas in the frozen food section of the supermarket. YMMV

 

[PeoplesElbow]

Pizza is like sex, when it's good, it's really good, when it's bad, it's still pretty good.

Many years ago, when Bradfords was McKays - and they hadn't even "upgraded" it - they sometimes sold personal size pizzas for under a dollar.

I remember this old gentleman there - he was Slavic and had a Dracula like accent - said he would never eat those, as I was checking out.

"Oh - we don't either - we ADD mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, a little more sauce and so on. We buy these mostly as a base."

He smiled and said, he might try that. At the time, those pizzas were selling for like 69 cents a box.

I MIGHT try the one DeeJay mentioned, but I have YET to try a frozen pizza - or even those mildly refigerated ones at ALDI - that even comes close to your run of the mill average pizza from a typical pizza place.

Mr. "B" was very opinionated. He was definitely old school in a lot of his thinking. I spoke with him quite a bit back in the day. Mckays Hollywood was our "local" grocery. He actually gave me his recipe for "real" sauerkraut which didn't include any shredding of the cabbage beforehand.

So, where's the recipe?
