tostino's has the best crust and right amounbt of fattiness

Pizza 4 one

none because frozen pizza is SHIT

>>6385681
Totinos is good if you put it in for an extra 3-4 minutes for that crispy. Soggy it sucks.

best frozen pizza I've had is Sam's Club brand, Buffalo Chicken. Don't usually like thin crust, but this one works.

Jack's Pizza is easily my favorite.

>Thin crust
>Not to much sauce

Now I think about it I don't think you buy these frozen. But still they're the best pre-made boxed pizza

If you want a pizza you can cook at home, get Papa Murphy's. No other frozen pizza comes close

>>6386519
My nigga.
Red baron is a close second.

Home run inn for sure

>>6386528

their new spicy fennel sausage is on point

I like Schwan's. One of the few things besides their ice cream I still like that they haven't discontinued (RIP best hot-pocket type product in existence).

>>6385630
>Don't throw the bag away
When I read that I knew I was gonna read some good shit, and I was not disappointed.

>>6386528

Yeah this, both are about the same price if you go at certain times and get Papa Murpheys for $5. Their crust is crap though so homemade is still a lot better.

>>6386597

their thin crust is pretty good i think, i tried their pan once and it was horrible

Casa di Mama is the best Dr. Oetker pizza.

Red Baron or Tombstone. Digiorno is okay.
Sam's Choice is actually pretty good and moderately priced.

sams choice thin crust pepperoni has been my go to for a while now.

>>6386609
I have to agree with this. HRI has a controversial taste with that sourdough crust, but the frozen version is so very close to what they give you at the restaurant.

>>6386720
i really like their sauce. and the crust is a nice change from typical over fluffy and dry frozen pizza crusts

Freschetta may be to someone's liking, but I always found it greasy and weird tasting after it cools down.

My brother from another mother.

>>6385683
mah nigga

>>6385718
Not always, but storebought ones tend to be crap, yeah. I've never had a storebought frozen pizza that was worth a damn, but deli pizzas are about as good as an average takeout pizza and I tend to buy them to freeze when I catch them at a good price.
Why don't more people buy deli pizzas instead of shitty frozen pizzas? It's truly mind boggling.

I find these super tasty, but they're not filling. I've never seen Ristorante in my stores, and now I'm jealous.

>>6387054
Isn't DiGiorno a brand of deli pizza, though?

This shit right here

>>6386616
>dat yellow journalism

>>6385624
That's a trick question. There is no "best" frozen pizza. All frozen pizzas suck ass and taste like shit.

>>6385675
>chocolate pudding

Why Banquet? How does adding chocolate pudding make this a meal? Why did somebody feel the need to share this idea? Who in their right mind would want to eat some frozen chocolate pudding after they eat a pepperoni pizza?

I just don't get it.

These are good as fuck but way too expensive for how small they are.

I get them when they're on sale for $5.

Freschetta brick oven crusts are pretty good.

I wish they would invent a frozen pizza I could cook on a pan. Fuck that 'directly on the rack' business, I'm not messing up the whole oven for mediocre pizza.

>>6386539
fuck you faggot

10/10 pizza

>>6387969
They turn out fine if you put them on a pan. Hell, most of them turn out better (especially Totino's).

>>6387969
>Not cooking on a sheet

>>6387991
I saw this at the EDEKA once.

>>6385629

This is the best brand yes, when I don't want to make pizza myself I buy these

>>6385630

/thread

>>6385624
You have to left frozen pizza sit for a while and reheat it to give it the best taste.

GOAT

Don't know if they have it in America but this is by far the best forzen pizza. The crust is just amazing.

>>6385629
>Dr. Oetka a shit

>>6385624
I see frozen pizza threads all the time and i honestly never understood this shit...
make red sauce keep in air tight container in fridge
keep mozzarella at home
pre make dough, buy premade dough, keep tortilla's or bagels or fucking pita bread at home..

instant fresh pizza on demand for less money than frozen. making sauce can involve crushing canned tomatoes and adding salt or actually cooking a sauce which takes about 5 minutes of actual work. don't understand frozen pizza.

>>6391433
>less money than frozen
I dunno about that man, I get my red baron pizza for 3 bucks for a supreme.

>>6391433
Convenience.
It's quicker to just put a frozen pizza in the oven than it is to fuck around with shaping dough, dragging all the shit out of the fridge, putting the pizza together, putting it in the oven, putting all the stuff away again, cleaning up the counter/utensils used, etc.

Sometimes people just want to make a quick frozen pizza without fucking around actually making one from scratch.

>>6391726
That's pretty low but I think self made is even cheaper, I'm europoor and the usual pizza I make is around 3 euros and I live in one of the more expensive countries of Europe, I'd imagine making your own pizza is even cheaper in US

>>6391737
>Convenience
You misspelled laziness anon.

>>6391741
Call it what you will.

Sometimes I want to go through the effort of cooking dinner from scratch, sometimes I've had a long day and I'm tired and just want to make something to eat with minimal effort while I watch tv and have a beer.

>>6391738
>I'd imagine making your own pizza is even cheaper in US
It would taste like shit if you used cheap ingredients though, frozen pizza is pretty good if you let it cooldown, throw it into a fridge for a while and reheat it.

>>6386609

They are in the frozen pizza isl. Most stores here have their own deli pizza selection.

>would taste like shit if you use cheap ingredients
Not really.
I make my own pizza from time to time (I either eat homemade or deli pizzas; I can't recall the last time I had a pizza from an actual pizza place). The flour costs about 16¢. The yeast, salt and oil together cost about 25¢. The tomato costs about 25¢. The basil costs about 10¢. The fakemeout American, low-moisture "mozzarella" blocks costs about 50¢. This is per large pizza (16in/40cm diameter), give or take 20ish¢ if the oil happens to be expensive at that time or something.
It costs less than $1.50, tastes as good as or better than the average half-decent takeaway and takes little effort.
So: $10-$12 for a takeaway large, $5-$7 for a deli large or $1.50-$2 for a homemade large.

>>6392401
Where the fuck are you getting all that shit for so cheap?

>>6392409
... the supermarket, mostly Shoprite (I get the basil from the Korean grocery store, cuz they'll sell me a huge bag of leaves for $5 and the yeast from a Mexican grocer).

Let's do this another way:
5lbs of bread flour costs $1.99.
1lb of yeast costs $2.49.
3lbs of kosher salt costs $1.69.
101oz (3L) of olive oil costs $14.94.
28oz of tomato costs 89¢.
1lb of fresh basil costs $4.99.
1lb block of low moisture, American mozzarella costs $1.99.

5lbs of flour can make 15 pizzas, so that's about 13¢ per pizza plus a bit extra flour for rolling (a few cents extra).
1lb of yeast can make 113 pizzas, so that's about 2¢ per pizza.
3lbs of salt can make 340 pizzas, so that's less than a cent.
101oz of olive oil can make 101 pizzas, so that's 15¢, plus a little extra oil to drizzle and stuff, so I consider this tag a bit flexible, up to another 10¢ more.
1lb of basil can make 40 pizzas, so that's about 13¢ (I was off by 3¢ in my earlier estimate, sorry).
28oz of tomato can make 5 pizzas, so that's about 18¢ (7¢ less than my prior estimate).
1lb of mozzarella can make 4 pizzas, so that's about 50¢.

All together, the ingredients alone cost about $1.12.

>>6392517
Nigga that's too much work and where I live that's a bit low for prices. I'll just stick to my supreme red baron pizzas.

>>6392527
>too much work
Depends what you consider to be "too much work." It's all of 20 minutes worth of work and none of it is strenuous.
Mix flour, salt and yeast. Add oil and water. Mix into dough. That's two minutes work.
Allow to rest a bit.
Knead dough. That's about five minutes of work there.
Allow to rest a bit.
Knead dough some more (another five minutes).
Allow to rest a bit then heat up the oven.
Roll out dough (1 minute).
Top with tomato (30 seconds).
Grate the mozzarella (if you've a rotary grater, it takes about a minute, otherwise, it'll take nearly an eternity) and top the pizza (30 seconds).
Shred the basil and sprinkle it about (15 seconds).
Drizzle with a little bit of OO (15 seconds).
Sprinkle with a little salt and pop into the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes.
If you make pizza schiacciata (commonly called "Sicilian" or "square pizza"), it's even less work (and costs less, too, because there's no oil in the dough).

But if that's too much work, I understand. No judgments.
I've never had Red Baron. Is it your favourite or just the first brand that came to mind?
I tend to buy Aldi's deli pizzas (more often than I bake homemade pizza, to be honest; I've only baked four pizzas in the last year).

>>6392517

How do you like bread flour vs. special 00 seminola flour from eataly?

>>6392527
Oh, and as for
>a bit low for prices
that's why I quoted $1.50-$2 for a homemade large in >>6392401 I figured not everyone is as savvy about food shopping as I am. I stock up on bread flour in December, when KA is at its cheapest at $1.99 per sack and I make pizza when I see the mozzarella blocks on sale for $1.99 or less.

>>6392569
I prefer bread flour.
00 is for making thinner pizzas than I can manage to produce. Mine are more like naan in consistency.

>>6392555
It's the best frozen pizza I've tried, at least in the under 5 dollars bracket.

>>6392596
Then I think I'll give it a go.
I tried Tombstone once. It was okay. Tasted a great deal similar to Pizza Hut. That's not meant as a compliment to Tombstone. PH isn't very good.

>>6392605
You didn't get a stuffed crust chicken supreme with light sauce did ya? It's some of the best fast food pizza around.

>>6392616
I've never had chicken of any sort on a pizza other than buffalo chicken pizza (blue cheese sauce, shredded mozzarella and slow-cooker pulled chicken cooked in buffalo sauce) and barbecue chicken ranch pizza (ranch dressing, shredded mozzarella and pulled chicken cooked in barbecue sauce). I made both (found bone-in chicken breast for 99¢/lb, so bought some and froze it, then used them to make my pulled chicken.
I don't know what chicken supreme is other than that casserole of chicken, chicken gravy, celery and rice that's common to Mormon potlucks.

>>6390015
This is the best. I don't need my frozen pizza pretending to be fresh. Red Baron is best cheap pizza.

>>6385674
This, I think baron is the best. Although Stouffer's french bread pizza is pretty good but it's two-step prep kind of defeats the purpose of frozen pizza— when I want one I'm too drunk/high to get real pizza.
>>6385683
Those have gone downhill a LOT. Last couple I bought had hardly any cheese on them.

red baron 4 cheese classic crust

red baron supreme

>>6387991
Don´t know about this version but pic related is also nice.

Here you go...and often on sale for $1
#PoorPeople

Just tried this "new" brand called Screamin' sicilian. It's almost the price of a freshly made pie, but if I had to chose a fav then this would be it. They use big chunks of pepperoni and it gets all oily and I dig it.

>>6395533
>pepperoni

>>6385675
It's like they made an adult version of the Kid Cuisine pizza.

Still have to agree with the other anon, chocolate pudding, really?

>>6395533
I'd probably try that but fuck, that location's so out of the way.

I had one in a Wallmart when I visited Pennsylvania last year. It was philly cheese flavor and sadly the best pizza I ever had and I am from NYC and been to all the famous places.

>>6395533
I always see that at the store but never have tried it since it's expensive. Looks good baked though, might have to try it

>>6396668
>Caution: Exceeds Expectations

>>6392978
can you tell them that westerners don't put fucking corn on their pizza ffs.

>>6396696
But I do love Pizza on the Cob!

Without a doubt

>>6392698
The sauce on their cheese french bread pizza is pleb tier.
Ive heard that their supreme has a different sauce though. Their french bread pizzas were my default for a long time.. I finally moved on to red barons, which are ALLOT better IMO.

Now I just make my own, best french bread pizza Ive ever had.

Frozen pizza sucks in general, but I go with Red Baron or DiGiorno when I have to eat it

this! with some cheese sauce and extra chipotle- or habanero hot-sauce

>>6385624
never had a bad one.

>>6397238

i dare you to name something better

>>6385624
It's not frozen, but a friend of mine found this pizza in a supermarket a few weeks ago. For my American friends, popping candy is pop rocks.

>>6397367
wtf pop rocks on pizza?

>>6396071
I used to love these when i was like 10 were the fuck do you buy them

>>6397367
you brits are so fucking bad at cuisine. Pop rocks pizza? Seriously?
