Board 8 > What is your favorite brand of frozen pizza?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I think the clear favorites in the u.s. at least are freshchetta, digiorno and red barron. What is your favorite?
---

Digiorno is pretty easily the best of the major brands
---

@sballen better sticky?
---

Totino's dollar ones
---

Digi or no
---

Compliments

Digiorno though Screamin' Sicilian had a good stromboli. Haven't tried their actual pizza.

Screamin Sicilian
---

I actually made a point to try pretty much every frozen pizza I've come across at least once.

Screamin Sicilian and Tony's are probably my two favorites. Totino's and Wild Mike's are probably the worst.

Sounds like I should try Sicilian's pizza. Man I want a stromboli now and I just had pizza last night for dinner

Same.

My current go-to is Freschetta since its crust doesn't taste like "empty toastiness" like Digiorno. Toppings and sauce are about even between the two. Both are too thick and doughy.

Red Baron has the crust thickness right but the cheapness shines through. I occasionally crave that for some reason, though.

California Pizza Kitchen, though I haven't had a frozen pizza in years.

A localish brand that ShopRite sells

Of the national brands, I like Palermo's brands the most, the best of which is the Screamin' Sicilian. Good crust, high-quality meat and cheese, and a kickin' sauce all add up to a delicious frozen pizza that tastes like one you'd get in a restaurant. Seriously. And their Stromboli is good too.

At least 90% of the time, I buy either local or Screamin' Sicilian (which is from my home state anyway).

The crust is a lot better on the Digiorno Pizzeria line. I got used to that and then accidentally bought a regular Digiorno and I was kinda grossed out.

Red Baron is the least disappointing

Well, it's not frozen pizza, but our Walmart's deli cook-at-home pizzas are the second best brand of pizza available to us.

As far as actually frozen pizzas go, Domino's. Digiorno is really bland by comparion - I've had cheap-ass pizzas that are tastier than Digiornio.

Freschetta is pretty good, though.

Local Walmart deli cook at home pizzas are actually my favorite non-restaurant pizza yeah.

Digiorno's quality is kinda heavily dependent on how good your oven is I think, moreso than other brands. I had some a few times with a fairly poor oven, never understood the hype, then tried it again with a pretty good oven and came to the conclusion that it's probably just a lot more prone to imbalanced cooking than normal frozen pizzas are.

That being said I don't think it's really worth talking about even in a good oven-- kinda think it's part marketing here! Say it's like delivery enough times and people will believe it even if it's totally not true.
---

Digiorno would be the best if it wasnt so saucy so often. Occasionally Ill get on thats not too saucy and its great. I just hate saucy pizza, and most frozen pizzas are saucy.
---

I hate Digiorno. They try real hard to replicate real pizza instead of just embracing the fact that no matter what you do it is frozen pizza. Same goes for nearly all the rising crust pizzas

I prefer Tombstone. Gino's East thin crust is my favorite but I'm pretty sure that's a local thing. So Tombstone gets my vote with Red Barron as a second.
---

Digiorno, easily.

But I have been eating a lot of CPK recently since my grocery store stopped carrying my favorite Digiorno pizza.
---

Used to love Mama Rosa's.

I have never really had a good walmart pizza. Though I only tried two.

That said the answer is Tombstone and you can close the topic now.

Probably Red Baron I guess

though I've never had this screamin sicilian
---

I probably like Stouffer's the most, although I get Red Baron pretty often, too.

Red Baron and Tombstone taste exactly the same and are the best.
---

Tombstone

Digiornio is pretty bad honestly. I'd put it pretty low tier.

I buy Newman's Own more than DiGiorno. I like both though.

Digiornio has like too much breading and figuring it costs double a tombstone, it is an easy price to quality decision.

I think it's a regional thing, but there's this one brand in the upper midwest called Roma that's dirt cheap ( $1.50) and has crust that's wafer thin. Always my go-to

Love a pizza with a cracker crust
---

Back in the 90s when rising crust pizza first started being a thing, Celeste had a line of them called Mama Celeste. That was always my go-to for as long as I could get it. Too bad they seem to have stopped making it.
