It's not delivery...it's Digiorno

[ZackyDog]

I had this pizza the other night.


I was pretty impressed, and I'm (American-born and raised) Sicilian, so I am very familiar with authentic Italian and Sicilian pizza. It's not quite as good as my mom's or my favorite pizza parlor, but for something out of the supermarket's frozen food section, it's pretty good.

I like a fair amount of cheese, so I augmented it with some of this:



I think I'll try this the next time; I like more cheese and less crust.

Never tried that, I like these...

I could eat pizza every meal of every day, probably indefinitely.

It's a shame the best tasting stuff is usually bad for you! I get to eat it so rarely.

Now I am craving pizza.

I have a great pizzeria about 3min walk from my house. They have seats and beer too. Not good for my waist at all.

My wife and I just had one of those thin crust margherita pizzas tonight with a salad. We can get much better pizza at a variety of places within an easy walk and sometimes that's what we do. But we don't like going out as much as we used to, and their frozen pizzas are pretty good - damn good for what they are... We usually keep a couple in the freezer and usually have one every couple of weeks or so.

I tried my first one the other night..Threw most of it in the trash..
Never again..

Freschetta pizzas are good too. Key is to not over or under cook them. Use the instructions as a guideline, but remove it just when the outer crust begins to brown. I use a pizza stone, even though they say not to, and they come out great IMHO.

Of course delivery is better, but for $5, I usually keep a few frozen ones around.

I'm trying to save money.

My favorite pizza place charges about $18 for a large pizza. With a minimal tip for a to-go order, it comes out to be $20. A small/medium Digiorno is about $6.

Last week I was dropping off some forms in an office building. On the elevator there was a list of lunch places in the complex ... and one said pizza! I used to work there but this place was new so I decided, in the interests of science, to check it out. As as I entered I noticed they also made calzones. Calzones, you little inside-out pizza, you! I had to have one. The best thing about them is that you can have fillings that wouldn't work as toppings on a pizza, like ricotta. In fact, I had ricotta, eggplant, sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms and onions. Plus the usual sauce and mozza. It filled a hole in my being. Now I'm thinking off dropping by that neighborhood next Friday, too.

Pizzeria! versions are even better. I snob on pizza like beer, but I also can’t shake the Totinos party pizza habit either.

 

[dburns]

I'll take a DiGiorno or Freschetta over Pizza Hut or Dominos.

Palermos Thin.....local....pretty good.

All the frozen pizza is marginal compared to getting a slice from a real pizza place with a 700 degree oven.

Costco has so many good fresh ravioli packs and they have red sauce and pesto. If we want a decent $8.00 starchy dinner at home it's usually much better to eat pasta instead of frozen pizza. It's all ok I guess.

Anyone else like Papa Murphys take 'n bake? Not bad.

Yeah, those Totino's things are probably about as authentic as a Jack-in-the-Box taco, but similarly, they taste good of their own accord.

We just had a couple of DiGiorno's "rising crust" pizzas a few nights ago. They were okay, but I like the thin-crust varieties better. I think I will try the OP's idea of augmenting one ot them with some extra mozzarella next time.

Our local Walmart carries these 16" "Marketside Ultimate Meat" pizzas that are surprisingly good; one of the meat toppings is this shredded beef that tastes kind of like Gyro sandwich meat. Gyro sandwich meat runs a close second to Italian sausage/salsiccia in my idea of the ultimate food flavor. I could just about sprinkle italian sausage on breakfast cereal, or ice cream. Love it love it love it.

If any of you pizza commenters ever find yourselves passing through Colorado on I-70, stop off at Idaho Springs and look up a restaurant called BeauJo's. Not too many years back we had some deeeeee-licious whole wheat crust pizza with many toppings from there and it was out of this world.

DiGiorno is the only frozen pizza I've ever liked. Been eating that every now and then for at least 15 years. They used to sell 3-packs of 1/2 cheese, 1/2 pepperoni at Costco for a great deal, but that has long gone.

Just had one (or part of one) last night! Love it.

I ate pizza every day, at least once, for about a year, and I know I could do this.

I had awesome leftover homemade pizza for lunch today!

 

[Stubee]

I love a good pizza, from my favorite 50+ year old pizzeria here in town, or a slice of thin crust at Venice Beach, or the good places in NYC or Chicago or wherever.

But I’m a fan of the DiGiorno rising crust stuff. Great, of course not. But if I want to do something cheap & quick, it’s alright by me.

I dice Roma tomatos & cover each slice. Makes a huge difference.

Yes. Here they have something called "Cowboy Pizza." Lot's of meat and cheese. I rather fancy it.

 

[raito]

My children believe that I have an unlimited capacity to consume pizza. They're not far off.

And in Ft Collins on 287 if you’re on I80. And in Boulder if you’re on 36. And one’s going in on Ken Pratt/119 in Longmont that I’m looking forward to.

I’m partial to Nick & Willies take and bake. Anthony’s for fast food pizza. Haven’t been to a Pizza Hut, Dominoes or Old Chicago in I don’t know how long. Went to a Little Caesars a couple of years back as a last resort. Nasty nasty “pizza”.

There’s a Portias in Longmont that’s not too bad. Here in Nederland is a local pizza place that’s very very good. It’s called Crosscut Pizzaria and Taphouse.
