The coronavirus pandemic has seen its impact hit nearly every area imaginable across the world. Perhaps the largest industry to see its demand climb as high as ever are grocery stores. From mega-corporation supermarkets to local grocery shops, stores are struggling to keep many items in stock. First, it was the toilet paper craze that settled over in the early going of the outbreak. Then it was the cleaning supplies from sanitizing wipes to hand soap. A new hard-to-find item now happens to be frozen pizza. Stores across the states are finding it hard to keep the easy-to-cook products in stock.

Newman's Own President and COO, Dave Best told Ad Week that his company's sales are 190 percent since the start of the pandemic. ...

Now it's getting serious

"There's no such thing as a good frozen pizza."

"Newman's Own President and CEO, Dave Best, told Ad Week that his company's sales are 190 percent since the start of the pandemic . . . "

Just as I suspected, Big Pizza is behind this.

when they run out of beer, that’s when the mutiny will start...…...

DiGiorno is pretty good, especially if you jazz it up with some of your favorite toppings.

"when they run out of beer, that’s when the mutiny will start...…..."

LOL so true.

[SaxxonWoods]

Don’t look at us. We’ve had none. Yuck.

[Lurker]

A frozen pizza is better than no pizza.

Last time I was at the store they were cleaned out.

President Camacho : S...!. I know s...'s bad right now, with all that starving bulls..t, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution.

South Carolina Representative # 1 : That's what you said last time, dips..t!

South Carolina Representative # 2 : Yeah, I got a solution, you're a d..k! South Carolina, what's up!

I accidentally forgot to put three Tombestone pizzas in the the freezer last week. Found them on a side counter a couple of days later. I almost cried.

[SomeCallMeTim]

I bought 4 of them last week, at Walgreen’s... 2 for $9.

That was before I knew they were endangered or I might have bought more.

It’s so easy to make your own pizza. These are delicious-——

Just halve and toast small oblong Italian loaves of bread.

Then top with ready-made tomato sauce, oregano flakes, and shredded mozzarella.

Drizzle with olive oil——and bake til cheese is melted and edges are brown and crisp.

Another delicious version uses same ingredients on English muffins.

All we are saying, is give pizza a chance!

[RandallFlagg]

Make homemade bread, lightly toast it in the oven’s broiler, take it out and drizzle sauce on it, toss on the pepperoni and cheese, throw it back in the broiler for five minutes, good to go!

[Berlin_Freeper]

Today I bought a frozen pizza with 5 types of cheeses.

[Leaning Right]

An alternative:

Toast an English muffin until it’s crispy. Add sauce, cheese, and toppings of your choice. If you are (like me) not a true pizza aficionado, enjoy!

But if you are a true pizza aficionado, take one bite then throw it away.

Let’s raid Nancy Pelosi’s freezer. I bet she has pizza hidden under the ice cream.

[HotKat]

We call it “doctored” pizza.

Well, the first week of the shutdown, there was no toilet paper to be found. That shortage is still going on. Next shortage was frozen pizza, but that shortage only lasted about a week. The supply apparently caught up. There was an early run on dairy and chicken, but that caught up too, after a couple of weeks.
