There are a lot of niche, small frozen pizza companies that are good...but as far as the big names I'd say Red Baron

>verification not required

>>20207508

>>20207521
What does that have to do with pizza?

>>20207526
This, but the triple meat one. I pull off the pepp and bake the pizza without em fire 15 minutes before adding the pepp back on for another 10, crust and cheese gets nice and browned and my pep doesn't get burnt

Lads, last night a I drank a bottle of makers mark 46 french cast, some big red soda, made 2 jacks frozen pizzas 1 supreme 1 sausage pepperoni with xtra cheese on both and sandwiched them together and ate the whole thing with a bag party size bag of lays watching law and order. Slept like shit last night.
But overall I enjoy jacks, it cooks quick is reasonable priced and you can samwhich two together if your stoned drunk and happy

Tradizionale Pizza Salame Romano

Too bad they stopped selling them here. Those things were better than like 9/10 Italian restaurants I've had pizza at. Genuinely fucking crazy how good those things are

red barons probably best value
i'm partial to digiorno even though i know it's gross. something about the sauce keeps me coming back

Bellatoria uncured pepperoni ultra thin crust

specifically the brick oven variant

>>20207508
Totinos is the best.

I do also sort of enjoy great valu'es cheese pizzas

Rao's is not the best. Their other products are a step above in quality, but their pizza failed the live up to my expectations.

Red Baron, honestly
>>20208748
Rao's is falling off; their sauce is watery and shittier now

The actual answer is Totino's BECAUSE it's so bad that its badness levels overflow to good again

>>20208748
I thought it was pretty fucking good. Newman's Own and Amy's are the only others I can think that I would take over the Rao's.

>>20208760
>Totino's BECAUSE it's so bad that its badness levels overflow to good again
This was true back when they were round and came in boxes. And they still had real cheese. Fuckers pioneered skimpflation way before it was cool.

>>20207508
does that still exist? I haven’t seen, never mind bought it in years

How did red baron corner this market with no competitors even coming close?

Why would anyone eat frozen pizza instead of fresh from a restaurant?

>>20208505
Looks disgusting

>>20208814
Most chain restaurants are shit anyways.

>>20208814
There are plenty of reasons. Most restaurants aren't open at 3 AM on Sunday morning, for instance. Sometimes you had grand plans to make a complicated dish but suddenly you look up and it's way past dinner time. Maybe the sink is full of dirty dishes that you're too lazy to clean, so you wanna make something that doesn't make a mess. Anything else, fuckface?

>>20208505
literally me

>>20208748
>>20208760
>>20208791
Campbell's bought out Raos.

>>20208880
only whores smoke

>>20208880
I don't give a shit. The sauce still tastes better than any other jarred shit, and better than I can make myself unless I go all out and end up spending half the day and almost as much money as Rao's costs anyway.

>>20208641
This. So much this.

>>20208880
monopolies ruin every single quality thing we ever get

>>20208797
>This was true back when they were round and came in boxes.
Fuck, man... I have such fond memories of tossing those things in the microwave and eating them by just rolling them up like as burrito.

>>20208937
The walmart great value branded frozen thin crust pizzas are legit a good deal. It's a two day meal for $5 for one. Their thick and stuffed crust ones I don't really care for. Soggy crust.

>>20209002
Same, anon. Same...

>>20207510
>>20208641
Yup

>>20208814
Land of the free, not land of bending the knee. I'm going to eat my pizza when and where I want, I'm not going to let some fucking corporation tell me it's the wrong day or the wrong time to eat pizza

>>20207508
pizza fan here.

just buy the cheapest shit in the store with your style of crust and add your own toppings on it.

>>20207526
This and Red Baron

>>20208800
>does that still exist? I haven’t seen
Tony's pizza still exists but t's now doubled in size. The original Totino's is now rectangular shaped, meant to fit in a dorm room toaster oven, or for someone in a motel.

Bros...

>>20209757
how

>>20209781
They do it every couple weeks, I stock up like a heathen

For me it is Jack's. Perfect combination of sweet sauce and salty 'ronis on a thin, cracker-crisp crust.

>>20208641
This pizza convinced me that the crust is seriously the most important part of a pizza.

>>20209757
OH BOY MARDI GRAS!

Probably one of these ones

>>20210585
I can't remember the last time I saw a store this well-stocked with anything. There are holes all over every shelf and every freezer now.

>>20207508
The hot and fresh pizza you buy from your local pizza joint and then freeze the leftover slices.

>>20210805
My local pizza joint is Pizza Hut.

>>20207508
What the hell have they done to Tony? He looks like fucking Peppa Pig.

>>20210779
Dollar General has always been that way even before you did your own shopping.

Totino's party pizzas pre square iteration. The pizza tasted better and was much crisper, also life in general was better in those times

>>20207508
Yet to have had one.

>>20207508
the correct answer is Tombstone prior to the recipe change. in fact, it would have to be pre-Y2K just to be safe. prove me wrong. pro-tip: you can't.

I don’t remember seeing this Tony’s at grocery. Is it still a thing?

>>20212399
I've been doing my own shopping for over 30 years, but I'm not sure that matters when I'm commenting on changes that have happened in the last 5.

>>20210421
For me it’s tombstone. It’s cracker thin, but unlike thin crust pizza from a fancy place, it is loaded with flavor.

I haven't seen a correct answer yet. Gentlemen, I present you the only correct answer

>>20208814
convenience, cost

>>20209785
Where are you finding these coupons and what store?

I went back to Totino's. Yes they're slopmaxxed but they're just better. I ate three today. I cooked the last one in an air fryer, flipping it over 2/3rds of the way through to crisp the bottom. It was nearly perfect.

>>20212417
Thanks for the input gramps.

>>20207508
frozen pizza isn't food. the only tangentially related frozen item i would consider consuming are pizza rolls. 5 minutes in the air fryer and you have an inoffensive bite of pepperoni, sauce and cheese with minimal crust (important because the crust is the absolute worst thing about frozen pizzas)

>>20213181
totinos rolls are OK, but even store brands are fine too. a 2 lbs bulk bag of store brand for $10 cdn isn't a bad deal and can last a while. typically like to eat these with hot sauce

>>20213181
totino's party pizza crust tastes better than the rolls. I'd rather eat bagel bites than pizza rolls.

>>20213194
not a fan of either. flaky crust or doughy bagel just tastes so fake. like eating cardboard. at least the rolls have a fried wonton texture, but are otherwise tasteless (which is an improvement over tasting like oversalted overprocessed cardboard).

>>20213174
Any time, kid.

>>20213205
Good die, fuckface.

>>20213210
Chill out, man.

>>20213218
No, dicklicker.

>>20213229
Why are you so angry?

>>20213144
It's a store called Schnucks, I live in Missouri. You just go in and buy them. The coupon is just for the Tombstone, you download them off the website.

>>20213238
>I live in Missouri
my condolences

Tombstone, because eating one of these is a tombstone for your dick

Hands down.

Second best.

>>20213277
...the most basic bitch frozen pizza ever

>>20207508
not that

for me its freschettas
tonys is kinda eh

>>20207508
Red Baron Classic Crust
accept no substitutes

>>20208505
I like how they're embarrassed that they put corn on it so they don't list it as an ingredient

>>20207508
I grew up on circular Tony's pizza. Now I'm addicted to the taste as an adult. It's different than restaurant pizza yet it's so good. I add smokey cheese for more flavor.

>>20213308
aldi mama cozzi's is the same fucking thing for $3 (they used to be $2)

>>20213965
way smaller too

>>20212402
Never forget what they took from you

>>20210585
The packaging on those screaming sicilian pizzas so so fucking offputing. They might be good but I refuse to buy a söyjak branded pizza. Cartoon Italians or WW1 fighter aces only please.

>>20213995
lies but if it were true maybe it'd help your fatass lose some weight.

It's not going to be the common "$4 for 2 pounds of pussy and ass!!!!' pizza people here are posting

Pic is one of the best

Jacks bacon cheeseburger 'za

>>20210585
god bless our supply chain

Tony's Galaxy Pizza is the true king of shitty frozen pizzas. If I was only a bit more retarded I would stock my freezer with these things. I prefer pepperoni but the cheese "pizza" isn't that bad. Not at all worth the money, but they provide great nostalgia and flavor.

>>/slop/

>>20210585
OH SAY CAN YOU SEE

Any Midwest niggas ITT? Home Run Innbros, am I alone? Also in case anyone is curious, there's a few brands that sell frozen deep dish pizzas, in fact one of them is Giordanos; but they're all fucking awful and none of them even come close to the real thing. They also suck even more when they're reheated.

>>20210585
Lmao do Americans really?

>>20207508

>>20217876
>This one pizza contains 240% of your daily saturated fat, 120% of your daily cholesterol, 276% of your daily salt and totals up to 2640 calories.
Fat fuck

>>20217889
>sverige
checks out

The cheapest I can buy.

They all taste the same. Don’t spend more than you have to.

>>20207508
Ironically those gay bitch looking screamin sicilian pizzas are pretty good for frozen pizza. I like the one with pepperoni and meatballs.

>>20208896
Ragu literally means “base”. It’s meant to be enhanced. Add garlic, add basil, add Parmesan crusts. Simmer and boil, til it tastes just like grandmas. Oh, not tomatoey enough? Add your cento tomato paste. Not spicy enough? Add some browned sausage and onions.

>>20218197
This. I thought I was nuts. Everyone says it's "bland" but you're supposed to tailor it a bit. You can blend it to anything from vegetable soup to pizza sauce to pasta sauce. Add some spices depending on the dish.

>>20207589
What if you're stoned drunk and sad?

>>20208791
Newman's is good but I only get it when it's on sale. At ~$10 it's just not worth it to me.

>>20218257
You’re in good company.

>>20218134
>Ironically gay bitch are pretty good. I like the balls.

>>20218281

Zuppardi's (West Haven, CT)

>>20218293
>west haven
>not even new haven
into the trash it goes

>>20218299
New Haven isn't some pizza gatekeeper. Get over yourself.

>>20212402
I used to microwave them and eat them without cutting them into slices.

>>20213238
>>20213250
I've only been there one time and there were like 10 massive car accidents within the span of a mile. I had to drive through some police checkpoint and the guy in front of me got arrested for God knows what. The fuck are you guys doing over there?

>he doesn't watch cool hand luke while eating a newman's frozen pizza

>>20212399
They're overstocked because they charge 33% more than anyone else, but are in bicycle range in the suburbs, and the nearest 'walmart' in the places that don't have a walmart within an hour. They're the gap play, and just supplement their supply chain with more expansion as they meet capacity. Decent stock to invest in. They're like Valero.

>>20208760
Damn, I noticed this too. Rao's alfredo sauce used to be the tits, but it's gotten way more watery in the past year or two. Thanks Biden.

I like Tombstone and Home Run Inn.
nice flavors, nice crunch, nice saucieness

>>20213230
Black people, ya know, the usual.

Newmans Own enjoyers are literally better than everyone else

>>20220535
For me, its papa murphys

>>20220558
Do they still sell “Chicago style”? That’s like 90% crust?

>>20220577
Yes, but the “chicago” denotes the toppings not the style

>>20220594
Yeah, my dad used to bring one home three nights a week as a kid because he was too tired to cook and he’d get full off two pieces and my mom didn’t get home until 6 or 7. They’re pure nostalgia. And just as delicious.

>>20210779

Go in the morning.

>>20220603
>three nights a week
How fat are you, genuinely curious. I worked there and didnt eat that much pizza very often kek

>>20207508
The only downside is it exists in two states only

>>20210779
Where do you live Moscow?

>>20220660
They sell boxes of these at one of the wholesale stores in my area, I got the impression that they're basically the same as Totinos party pizzas.

>>20217896
Yeah because it has a lot of real cheese.
>>20217876
Their crust is the only lacking part. Such a good pizza for frozen 'za.

>>20208641
>pepperoni made with pork, chicken and beef
good pizza but can only imagine the entrails mixture composing those pepperoni

>>20220660
>>20220680
What state? Please say south Carolina or georgia

>>20220731
Virginia, have no idea where else they are.

Pic related is my favorite rising crust frozen pizza. Otherwise, I tilt my hat to the crimson scarf'd nigga as well

>>20207517
Id rather had the normal ones. Ultra pep and bbq chicken were such let downs

>>20217247
as a kid i could never decide if i liked or hated these

>>20220731
Most easily found in jersey or NY.
>>20220680
They just get the 'feel' of what a frozen pizza should be. The fact you can slap them in a toaster oven makes it even better

>>20207526
this, but the cheese one, since I don't like pepperoni because i'm gay

>>20220731
The state of fatness and gluttony.

I would kill to have this one again

>>20207508
I'm so fucking fat bros

>>20207508
The best frozen pizza is where you buy freshly, quality made dough that has been frozen that you top off with your own fresh ingredients (Home made tomato sauce, fresh Italian bufala mozzarella, and whatever else you like). The only annoying part is making the dough and the hours waiting for it to rise.

>>20220535
>times you acted like Reacher
I am also literally him. But only season 1 Reacher not season 2 reacher.

>>20221536
You can slap anything that'll fit in a toaster over.

>>20207526
this is the shittiest frozen pizza of them all. retards simping for this are delusional.

>>20220622
Not as fat as I should be.
I also embellished a little. It was often enough I got sick of it then it went from sick of it to dead inside, and now I miss it now that it’s gone.

>>20208641
Has Red Baron ever done a promo where an actor dressed like the eponymous baron wanders a supermarket and if you call him out he gives you a RB coupon or some such? Sounds like something that would have been done in the 90s-00s. Any boomers remember?

lol my brother would get pissed when i would do this, said i was wasting it

these things are good

>>20220726
Better to just ignore how the sausage is made.

>>20224288
Be careful. I overcooked them a few months ago. Set these for like 12 or 14 minutes and just let it go longer if it isn't brown enough.

>>20224810
thanks, i will be careful

>>20224810
I don't get it what's the problem?

Anyone remember the Little Charlie's individual pizzas that you could get out of vending machines?

>Hear good things about pic related pizza
>Buy it to have on Friday as a treat
>Friends invite me out for drinks last minute that afternoon
>Go out, drink, get way too drunk
>Wake up next day with vague memory, decide to cook the pizza as a hangover lunch
>The pizza is missing and the box is in the trash
>tfw I ate the pizza when I was blackout and have no clue how it tasted
I was so pissed. I guess it was good, cause I ate the whole fucking thing, but still

>>20213308
Agreed, especially if you have a pizza stone or baking steel.

>>20207589
How ya been Cobes?

>>20217885
It is vitally important that we have plenty of competition of the frozen pizza market.

Am I fucking my frozen pizzas up by putting them on aluminum foil and then putting them on my oven rack?

>>20213170
dios mio

Digornio isn't as good as it used to be, and even at its peak it was more like "this will sustain me for a complete day for $5" kind of meal, and not something you got for the taste

Tony's is still 3.50... Tony my nigga

Red Baron is slightly better but not $3 dollars better.

Freschetta is trash

>>20208641
based. also surprisingly good macros for pizza

>>20226418
i've done this before. devoured some new item i was curious about around the time i began forgetting the rest of the night.
I also ate a "single serving" Beecher's brand caccio e pepe while drunk and hungry once. Tiny little serving of noodles in pasta sauce had 80% of your daily saturated fat intake. I did not feel great.

>>20221616
if i buy frozen im doing the least amount of work possible so you can just piss off with that. This is coming from someone with a good dough recipe for pan and hand tossed pizza

>>20226874
>I literally know no one that eats Tony's
>Red Baron's go on sale in my local grocery 2/$7 frequently
>Freshittas are light years ahead of Digornio and on sale 5.99 usually at same grocery store

Seems like you only like Tony's because it is all you can afford. It's okay to be poor anon, but not shopping deals makes you poor and stupid. Deadly combo to have when thinking your opinion matters and your tastes are superior.

>>20225095
If you over cook it it tastes like absolutely nothing. And yeah you might cut your mouth up.

>>20220746
Literally never seen them.

I see these prices every other week in Arizona as well. Safeway is my store and you gotta clip coupons in the stupid app.

>>20210585
Why did they stack them wrong and opt for tiny stickers? Everyone knows they stand sideways so you can see their faces.

>>20213170
What do you mean you flipped it over? You'd lose all your cheese and toppings.

if you ever see these they are good

>>20222454
God look how much bigger the sausage bits are. Look how much better the cheese looks. I miss it so much bros, frozen pizza used to be paradise compared to what we have today.

Schnucks bros we are munchin good again

>>20230168
$3.99 here

>>20227863
yeah, i'm poor, who the fuck are you quoting?

and wow, i used that image for a website background in like 1999 in the 8th grade. that's awesome.

>>20230135
Awe man, my Kroger variant Frys jist had these on closeout last week. They didn't look stellar, but i should have tried one.

>>20230239
the toppings and sauce are what you would expect but the crust is well above average for a frozen pizza

>>20208641
This shits kino.

>>20230110
They probably have a bunch of retarded savages that shop there and tear up the place when they stack them normally. I know because I live somewhere like that.

>>20213308
Add a little hot sauce nigger
