We bought some of those on sale. They were OK. I like the Newman’s better.
My dog doesn't care if it's frozen pizza -- he still eats it.

I do like Newmans Spagetti Sauce so I’ll try the Pizza if they carry hit here.
I like the puffy crust and sweet sauce along with the greasy oil you get with pan-cooked Greek pizza.
I eat a lot of frozen pizzas from the super cheap Mr. P’s to the costly brands. I add a lot to even the expensive brands including more pizza sauce, a little more cheese, and one or two veggies including thick layers of fresh parsley, diced onions, shredded cabbage, spinach, fresh oregano from my garden, and then top it off with more pepperoni. I usually buy thin-crust pizzas due to calorie counting. Two of the better cheapie pizzas are Tostinos and Jacks.
“I would never give this kind of pizza to anyone, even my dog!”
Wow, raise your hand if you didn’t see THAT coming.
The first pizza I ever had was in 1963 on 85th in NYC at an Italian food joint - one of many at the time - mostly Sicilians and a few from Rome or nearby. Nothing ever came close except pizzas by my Italian neighbors.
They were always thin crusted and crunchy with home made toppings and sauces. There were no frozen pizzas then and frozen anything was new so everything more or less had to be made from scratch
Speaking of Firenze, my wife and I took our children (ages 11 - 15) there--and throughout Italy. I particularly wanted them to see the magnificent statues in the Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizi. While there, we had dinner at the Castello del Trebbio, which was fun. It's always fun to have good wine in the locale in which the grapes were grown.
What a fabulous experience it was taking them to so many of the places I have loved! What a blessing it is to have wonderful children and a wonderful wife!
Ping!
"What do you think?" she said.
Sensing a trap, I asked, "Why, who made this?"
"Carmella downa shtreet," she said.
So I took a nibble and was confident in replying, "Tastes like she froze them."
"Yessss!" hissed my neighbor, waving her hands in the air and slapping her apron. "Terrible! Horrible! Brutissime!"
An friend of mine got treated in a Seventh-Day Adventist hospital, where all the food is vegetarian, and his ordinary, meat-eating son made the tactical error of trying a vegetarian "hot dog" while waiting for surgery to be over. He recoiled after one bite.
"It's not a bad taste," I said. "It just doesn't taste like a hot dog. Try to taste it for what it is, and not expect it to be what it pretends to look like."
Out here in the NJ/NY area there’s a locally produced frozen pizza called “Tree Tavern Pizza’’. It’s pretty good. A bit spicy but it’s good stuff.
Here are my instructions on how to serve a frozen pizza.
1. Remove pizza from carton.
2. Remove plastic wrap from pizza.
3. Remove pizza off from round cardboard.
4. Throw a pizza away.
5. Slice and serve the cardboard. It tastes better.
DiGiorno is high end. I shoot for $3 max for a pepperoni pizza.
I joke about Red Baron, but with added cheese and some extra meat tossed on...well, I’m ex-military. Beats the MREs!
But then, I used to like McDonald’s cheap double cheeseburgers at $1.25 each. Went up in price to $1.50. I’d grab a couple and go. Gone from the menu the last time I stopped. They wanted EIGHT DOLLARS for a Double Quarter Pounder - so I’ve sworn off McD’s.
Red Baron isn’t a bad $3 pizza. Ain’t fine dining, but $3 is $3!
Sounds 100% CORRECT to me.
Yours, ex-cadet
Well Fred, the less you spend on pizza the more you can spend on sweaters and a nice tip for Mr McFeeley.
