Frozen Pizzas...

[Nix]

I know we have discussed pizza joints before so now how about frozen pizzas? Whic ones do you swear by and which ones to you despise?

I personally like Red Baron and I always HATED Trade Winds when it use to be around. That shit was nasty!!!

Any comments?

[Karps TA]

I rarely bother with frozen pizzas anymore since they've all gotten pretty much terrible. Now that you can get a Papa Murphy's for a few bucks more it's worth it over frozen.

But if I do it's Jacks when they are on sale for like 5 for $10.

[H8RADE]

Home Run Inn.
You can actually hear your arteries hardening.
:thumbsup

[Korndogg]

Jacks. Just had one tonight actually.

[CobraSnake]

jacks naturally rising.

[Beagle]

Papa Murphy's For The Win!!!!! not frozen but they are awesome.

[nismodave]

Home Run Inn is very good.

Tombstone is good once in a while.

But for the price, Jacks wins.

[nismodave]

Papa Murphy's For The Win!!!!! not frozen but they are awesome.

:rolleyes:

[nismodave]

I Like Pizza Hut.

[07ROUSHSTG3]

tombstone for me.

if i am up north i buy a brand called haystack, the are about 8 bucks a piece, but well worth it!

[H8RADE]

I Like Pizza Hut.

They have great frozen pizza!
Maybe you and 'Beagz' can head to a BK and get a Big Mac...

[Beagle]

I Like Pizza Hut.

:rolf what about disgerno? no clue how to spell that. yea i think i had a diigerno at flicktitty's crib.

[STANMAN]

Tombstone is OK once in awhile. I really like Stouffers french bread pizza though!

[H8RADE]

Papa Murphy's frozen 'Za FTW!!!
If there was a thread about mountain bikes...'Beagz' would pipe in and recommend a Kawasaki...
Sadly, his parents didn't have any children that lived...
:confused

[USMARINE1108]

Whatevers the cheapest.



With no mushrooms.

[badass88gt]

Kwik Trip Urge pizzas. The real thin ones, ya know, the ones you roll up like a burrito to eat. Mmmm......

[tommyt5078]

If frozen Jack's it is. Since other said stuff about non-frozen then Sam's Club pizza all the way, I don't buy frozen, so Sam's FTW!!!!!

[slickwilly]

Digiorno's (sp). Especially the deep dish four cheese. Mmmmm....

[Smokey1226]

Infasumos or however you spell it. We ran into one of the guys who runs the company so now we carry their pizza's in our Station. But i cant lie I just took my Tombstone pizza outta the oven. Its cooling down as i type this!

Jacks FTW as well. I eat a pizza just about everyother day.

[oneslowcamino]

Home run FTW

[Windsors 03 Cobra]

Love: J.N.R.C.=Jack's Naturally Rising Crust.
Hate: Jimm's Brand Pizza.

Racine=8,000 good pizzerias and bakeries.

[DurtyKurty]

Palermo's Thin Crust Chicken Caesar. Unconventional, but it kicks arse.

Digiorno Ultimate Meat lovers. OMFG.

Uno's frozen pizza's are pretty damn good too.

[Rocket Power]

Tombstone and those big ass walmart ones in the box

[H8RADE]

If we are going boutique...

When I lived in Chicago, the Rosemary Potato/Chicken was the call...
Rosemary potato and chicken: roasted potato, garlic, chicken and mozzarella, with fresh herbs in white wine lemon sauce
Un-freaking-real.
:drool:

[Nix]

I just may have to try this Home Run pizza you all speak so highly of. Where can it be had? Pick n' D!ck or just any market?

[oneslowcamino]

I think sendik's (SP) has it

[brewcity_mach1]

jacks and palermos

[GRAMPS SS]

JACKS...FTW.....Tombstone has gone down the tubes over the last few years...they are hit or miss as others have stated....

papa murphys frozen...Scott you crack me up :rolf:rolf:rolf:rolf:rolf:rolf :thumbsup

[H8RADE]

Scott you crack me up :rolf:rolf:rolf:rolf:rolf:rolf :thumbsup

Leave it to 'Beagz' to recommend take and bake in a frozen pizza thread.
Maybe Ron installed a dry-plate system on the 'za?

:rolf

[88Nightmare]

yeah where can I buy this home run pizza?

[PB86MCSS]

Pretty much any grocery store has Home Run Inn's...

Jacks is hard to beat when 4 or 5 or $10. Red Baron when on sale, delish.

[88Nightmare]

I was never a fan of frozen pizzas, somethin in the sauce always gave me heartburn, which is fukked up because I never get heartburn, even with my horrible diet :rolf

I'd like to find a frozen pizza I like

[GRAMPS SS]

^^^^^^^BUBBA...you will eat anything...just buy one and try it...

[88Nightmare]

^^^^^^^BUBBA...you will eat anything...just buy one and try it...

oh I know, I'm just tryin to figure out where to buy them

[Philly-O]

connies makes a great frozen pizza.

[Al]

Jacks. Just had one tonight actually.

Jack's Are Great. Best combo of price and product.
Tombstone. A wee bit better than jacks, but costs more too.

Home Run pizzas taste kinda "yeasty"
Palermos...since when does a tortilla count as pizza crust?!?
Orv's...ever hear of sauce?
Red Baron...good, but spicy.
Totino's...giant box, little pizza (f*ckers)

[0TransAm0]

i dont like home run inn.. idk just something about it that i dont like

i do like derango's frozen pizza tho its the best ive ever had.. only trouble is finding them. some gas station carry them or you have to go to the resturant and get them..

[Z28Roxy]

Whatever is on sale. But I'm a certain three letter word that is cheap.

[Prince Valiant]

Tombstone is a "staple" for me...

I believe they also have a premium brand, rising crust pizza (name escapes me now though)...but they have a Buffalo chicken and blue-cheese pizza that is to die for (as far as frozen pizza goes)

None of that shit belongs on a pizza... except mozz. GTFO yuppie :goof

srsly though, take those toppings and cook them on the stove without a pizza crust under it, it'll be 1,000,000x better.

[wikked]

*cracks knuckles*

All around best frozen pizza for the money - is Jack's.
I dunno what Kraft has done, but they somehow have legally found a way to lace it with crack.
--------------------

*Premium Pizza*

Palermo's Primo Thin - 9/10 - Surprisingly, one of the bargain pizzas, is my favorite premium pizza. The margherita version is just :drool:

Home Run Inn - 7/10 - but for the price it's not worth it, buy only on sale.

Connie's - 8/10 - A step above HRI, but you can't find the Pepperoni version anywhere really, wtf... Pick N' Save does not stock this. I've only found it at Sentry, and a Piggly Wiggly.

DiGiorno's - 7.5/10 - Cheese tastes different compared to others for some reason, still good though.

Amy's - 8.5/10 - I've only had this once, because you can't find a pepperoni/black olive pizza without everything under the sun on it. It was expensive as hell for a small pizza, but goddamn was it good. I think it's in the organic section.

--------------------
*Median level pizza*
- Tombstone - I used to love it, but never really buy it now. If I do, it's the thin crust plain cheese, and I'll throw my own toppings on it.

- Red Baron - Too buttery/greasy taste, and I hate them for discontinuing their pepperoni/mushroom pizza... bastards. Will not buy as long as Jack's is in business.

--------------------
Bottom barrell pizza, pretty much only good when drunk.
- Totino's
- Tony's
- Tradewinds
- Palermo's
- Erv's
- Orv's
- Urge
- Roundy's
-etc.etc.

Would love to find a DeRango's frozen... the 'live' version is pretty damn good.

[Nix]

^^^ Excellent break down and explanations wikked :thumbsup

I still gotta try that Home Run Inn pizza, maybe this weekend?

[jbiscuit]

I like the Tony's pizzas....I can't stand Palermos...its like eating cardboard!

[Prince Valiant]

....I can't stand Palermos...its like eating cardboard!
buta itza nota maduh froma kardaboarda? [/pappa palermo]

[JC70SS]

1. Grasch's home made (Bobby you owe me one)
2. Palermo's primo Italian...yeah J!
3. Jacks thin crust

[wikked]

I like the Tony's pizzas....I can't stand Palermos...its like eating cardboard!

I like Tony's the best of all the cheapy pizza's. :thumbsup

[Rocket Power]

I can't believe so many people are fans of Jack's

[LIL EVO]

Jacks FTW also. Stock thin crust with whatever toppings. The rising crust surprised the hell out of me as far as flavor, etc for the price.

No one touched on Freschetta I don't think, green box (are they still around) Same price as Digiorno. I think it's a step above Digiorno as far as flavor

[FourEyedFord]

I think sendik's (SP) has it

I know for sure Grasch Foods on 140th and North ave. has Home Run Inn pizzas.
:thumbsup

They are still around. I like their new PizzAmore Pizzas, its pre-sliced and comes ready to go on a baking tray (The ultimate for a lazy mans pizza.) Can be found at same location as above. :D

Thats right! :rockwoot:

Both of these za's are pretty good. I also like some of the California Pizza Kitchen brands. I think I'm gonna go make me up a Home Run right now!! :thumbsup

[lordairgtar]

I've always liked this pizza they have at some bars. I think it's called Emil's. Very good. Wondering why frozen pizza always tasted good when served at a bar, I figured it must be the little pizza ovens they use. I bought a "new-in-the-box" oven at a rummage sale for ten bucks (the parents were not around and I talked the little 16 year old kid into it) Frozen pizzas work best in these kinds of ovens. It's funny how people here talk of the differences in Jack's and Tombstone pizzas. Aren't they all made by Kraft? They do seem different.

shit, i'll have to show you fools. not a bad breakdown though Jeff
--------------------
*Premium Pizza* (comes in a box)

Palermo's Primo Thin - fantastic, Chicken ceasar, greek, Margahrita

Palermos Rustico- POS pizza, the crust is like a huge piece of bread. awful pizza, and SUPER overpriced

Home Run Inn - thick crust, best crust around. freshest you'll find, but overpriced.

Connie's - About the same as HRI, and no, we don't carry the Pepperoni, talk to Roundy's corporate office.

DiGiorno's - average. their veggie pizzas are their best kick.

Amy's -Organic pizza, very overpriced.

Red Baron- good pizza, the Garlic Bread crust is fantastic. a bit heartburnish

Freschetta- decent, trys to make its name on the crust, but its average. they do have pepperoni in chunks, not circles, which i like though.

Bernatellos- goes on BOGO often. not a bad filler pizza. its a Thin crust in the box. doesn't TOUCH Primo Thin

California Pizza Kitchen- obviously from CPK. never been a fan personally. high price.

Roundy's Selects- good pizza, comparable to Connies. good price.

Borbellos- imitation of Red Baron/Digiorno/Connies, etc. on sale often. cheap
--------------------
All the rest. (regular plastic wrapped pizza) i'll try to do highest price to lowest. although up top they are all about the same.

Palermos- gone down the tubes in quality, but a decent pizza. on sale often. sauce leaves a LOT to be desired.

Tombstone- Formerly of wisconsin, price is higher without getting a great product. the crust is great though. great example of the average pizza

Orvs- suprisingly above average pizza despite goofy package. price is a tad high, but on sale a ton. toppings are not fresh at all.

Jacks- best overall. very thin crust, but same stuff as Tombstone, but cheaper.

Tonys- terrible. same price(ish) as Jacks, but half the quality. give me gut rot everytime.

Roma- the bottom of the barrel. these bitches are like 1.50. you get what you pay for, but i somehow don't mind them.

Roundys just came out with a new thin crust pizza and its about the level of jacks. it will be priced lower though. good for us. it just got shipped to stores lately.

btw, i'm a Dairy/Frozen manager, i've eaten every single one of these. my choices are
Palermos Primo Thin(chicken cesar mostly)
Red Baron
Jacks

i don't really buy much else unless they're on super sale.

company breakdown:
Kraft= Jacks, Tombstone, Digiorno
Red Baron= Red Baron, Tonys, Freschetta
HRI/Power Play= HRI, Borbellos
Orvs= Orvs, Roundys Selects, Bernatellos, Connies, Roma

[FourEyedFord]

Red Baron= Red Baron, Tonys, Freschetta


Do you mean Schwan's?

Where do you work?

[Guteman]

Jacks.. as a matter of fact I am making one right now!

[lordairgtar]

I was at my local Sentry today and saw the have gotten in a shipment of various store brands of pizza not normally seen here. Must be some kind of truck deal. Saw pizza from Safeway, Food Lion, IGA, and other regional brands. 5 for 10

[theavenger333]

[LIZMO]

my fav is jacks naturally rising 3 meat kind!

[Voodoo Chick]

Jack's naturally rising is the best, in my opinion. I like to get the cheese ones, and then put all sorts of fresh veggies/spices/shrimp/etc. on them.....Very, very good.....

[LIZMO]

eww i hate shrimp lol
