Title: What is the best brand of frozen pizza?
Post by: Royalty on August 14, 2023, 02:49:29 PM
Or perhaps the top 3 brands.

I think that this top has been discussed a few times before. But I wonder if there are new developments.

I second this vote. This brand is pretty good if you're going to have a frozen pizza. This is about as good as you're going to find at a major super market.

I understand. I'm still pining for a couple slices from Alfonso's, across the parking lot from the Grand Union. Chili flake and garlic powder shakers every booth. Then it's over to Friendlies. Mint chocolate chip.

Any of you guys make your own pizza? I like watching Portnoy's pizza reviews, and I have a big, wood-fired oven in the back garden along with a fridge out there.

Two best general resources off the top of my head are Baking Science by Figlioni and the pain a l'ancienne practice you can goog.

I used to do a 24 hour half yeasted poolish in the fridge and add salt, olive oil, and flour 4-6 hours before baking depending on room temp.

As a rule, beginners make dough too viscous. Flat breads stick to your fingers unless you keep them dusted.

It'll always be those frozen Tony's pizzas for me...  Sometimes I'll just cut them in half while they're still frozen and only cook.a half. 

...They remind me so much of the time I lived in Hollywood on Wilcox, and would walk a couple blocks down to one of the maybe half dozen "New York" pizza places that would sell you a giant slice of cheese pizza and a large mountain Dew for $2.50....

Past few years seems those have been a little bit harder to find but just the plain Jane Red Baron classic had been my go-to now.

I'm usually just a cheese pizza guy, but if it's frozen pizza I usually get pepperoni but I usually take off a good half of those pepperonis prior to cooking.

A wood fired oven seems like a royal pain, and I cut all my own wood for heat in the winter so it's not like I'm bad at wood.

It's probably why communities used to use a shared oven a few days a week. Not to be a spoilsport but the labor and time needed to bring even a small oven up to temperature with wood makes no sense for the sake of a single pizza.

If the fun of a traditional method outweighs the effort, I guess I could see that. A pyrometer would probably be useful, or you could throw in some scrap dough to establish readiness.

wife bought an outdoor pizza oven

Took about an hour to get warm enough to put the pizza in then it stuck to the fucking stone oven bottom

Fucking shite, never used it since

Fuck sake, lol. Disaster.

That's generally my opinion. I didn't build it; it just happens to be there, so I might as well try. The only time it got fired up was when the girlfriend's dad came around to roast some dead animal in it for 12 hours, but it did look really cool. Still, my mind went into overdrive and I'm convinced she could make a small fortune selling New York-style pizzas one day.

Ate you shitting me.....don`t know about the rest of Mass. but in Springfield there were/are some great pizza parlors.....saying anything different could mean you might wind up in a pair of cement shoes to go swimming in.  :D

It's a little outside of Springfield, but check out Casa Pizzeria in Ludlow!  Easily one of the best spots in the entire state and I have in  my all time top 10!

Any of you guys make your own pizza? I like watching Portnoy's pizza reviews, and I have a big, wood-fired oven in the back garden along with a fridge out there. I hear that getting the dough right is the hardest part but I reckon it could be fun and, perhaps, even a potential small business one day.

Funny you mention Portnoy as I was waiting for him to possibly come up in this thread! LOL! Dave does a great job, but factors in the history and story of the restaurant in his reviews.  He has completely boned some VERY good pizzerias because they are either too new or don't have a feel good story. 

Believe it or not, I review pizza in my free time as well, similarly to Dave.  I've been doing it now non stop for nearly 3 years now and am approaching 450 reviews myself, having hit most of the big names in the Northeast as well all the top spots in Portland and San Francisco.  I've always found it funny how serious people in certain states take their pizza, and think that everyone other then them is trash, when in fact all states (at least in the NE) have lots of fantastic spots! This is extremely common in the Facebook Pizza groups, which tend to be regional. 

I don't make pizza at home as I eat it so often in restaurants, but check out "The Pizza Gavones" on Youtube.  They have instructional videos that cover every step of the process of making a fresh New Haven style pie at home, and their results look as good as anything in New Haven!

The best frozen pizza that has a national release is Motor City Pizza Co Detroit style.  I'm sure there are better in certain markets, as I know Zuppardi's sells their pizza in CT grocery stores, but I'm taking about the best pizza that is available in every Walmart in the country.

There's good money to be made in exporting regional US cuisines imo. Texas and Carolina style bbq, and even the entirety of Southern cuisine. Tex Mex. NY/NJ Italian.

I thought about a tex mex food truck years ago, before taco bell and several copycats moved in around Aus. Regulations are onerous tho. You basically need to be a brick and mortar restauranteur to comply with inspection standards, and then you're not allowed to park up to sell anywhere but on private property so that guys is going to take his cut as well. Too hard for me.

I never nailed the pizza cheese mix. I'd guess 60+% mozzarella, 15-20% parmesan, but the rest on east coast pies idk. Maybe colby or monterey jack. And lots of oregano. Never fresh. Always flakes, lol. To get the amount of olive oil right the customer just holds up a slice until what's running off slows from a stream to a drip.

Too many toppings offends pizza purists. If you holiday in The Apple idk youse make it outta there if you mention pineapple, but the place has been going downhill so maybe it's thing now.

:D Wait until I try to fire it up and turn myself into Simon Weston in the process. I'll get pics. Pretty pumped to give it a try.

Haha please do.  I bake pizzas 1-2x a month and do ok with my oven, I crank the heat up and keep a couple cast iron pots and pans in there to retain the heat.  I’d love to build my own outdoor brick oven but don’t have the space at my current house. 

Cold fermenting the dough (make it a couple days ahead of time and keep it in the fridge) and high quality ingredients (San Marzano tomatoes and freshly grated Parmesan or pecorino) are the secret to great tasting pizzas, in my experience

That's cool, haha. Wish I could travel around and sample all those places. Yeah, people take their pizza fucking seriously! I don't know anything about this Barstool stuff but started watching Portnoy from him popping up after I watched a lot of Caleb Pressley's interviews. Both funny guys. Did you see the latest review from today? Some pizza owner going nuts and getting into a shouting match, lol.

Just subbed to The Pizza Gavones. I was bingeing a few videos last night from a young guy, Charlie Anderson, who has a little quest going to make quality pizza. Not a typical annoying YouTuber, so he's easy to watch too.

Really good money, I reckon. I can't stand loads of toppings, so for a small operation I'd focus on perfecting maybe three different choices. Throw in a fourth, stupidly expensive one to target all the drunk, rich guys who want to show off (call it 'The Bateman' or something, and add some truffle shavings), then go heavy with the right marketing online. Hire a little African to zip around on a moped doing deliveries. It's the regulations that I'd need to really look into, but as a fantasy for the future, it's quite fun and I think she'd enjoy it.

Looks quality, mate. Good effort! My first attempt will probably be as black and ashy as Goodrum's elbows. I baked bread in an ammo tin once, and it somehow ended up edible, but the inside was undercooked. Fucked the temperature up.

I also don't go home for days at a time so cooking and tupperwaring isn't viable. Sleeping on the building site sucks but it's less tragic than driving 4-5 hours a day and spending $800 in diesel a week.

Well, holy shit: first attempt was absolutely brutal. Quickly shattered any delusions I had and I doubt I'll be trying that again for a long time. We made the dough and did a 24-hour proof, then bought some really nice ingredients for it, following some good advice online.

We made two, but she went for a square option and tried to be Picasso or some shit with basil leaves and all that extra stuff I hate. Big mistake was sticking them on baking paper while we put the cheese on. Couldn't get the bastards off afterwards and ended up deforming them, so I had two retard-shaped pizzas to work with.

The oven fired up hotter than the gates of hell, which was nice, but I was sweating worse than Primemuscle finding out someone is going through his old posts. It was torture standing next to it while trying not to cremate the pizza (that's flour on the paddle, not ash). I was literally soaked and had sweat in my eyes, and stunk like I'd spent three days by a campfire.

Ultimately, they looked awful but didn't taste bad and we had a laugh. They didn't come close to Papa John's, though, and it was way too much effort.

First time using it?  Pretty good if so, it’ll probably take about 20 attempts or so before you get the hang of it.  Looks decent, I’d play around with ingredients, cooking times, etc.

Fucking love rosemary and potatoes.

Yeah, never used one of them before. I definitely should have stacked less wood, as I underestimated how hot it could get. I'd have been better off melting gold in the bloody thing. I've still got heaps of cheese, so I'll have a go at doing one in the oven next. Need to improve the sauce. "Oh! Do not run away from the battlefields. For triumph always yields such joy".

There are also a handful of frank pepes franchises in Mass  for anyone who loves NH style pizza.

Mass pizza getting an 8.8 is a NY/NJ 5.

Well, holy shit: first attempt was absolutely brutal. Quickly shattered any delusions I had and I doubt I'll be trying that again for a long time. We made the dough and did a 24-hour proof, then bought some really nice ingredients for it, following some good advice online.

We made two, but she went for a square option and tried to be Picasso or some shit with basil leaves and all that extra stuff I hate. Big mistake was sticking them on baking paper while we put the cheese on. Couldn't get the bastards off afterwards and ended up deforming them, so I had two retard-shaped pizzas to work with.

The oven fired up hotter than the gates of hell, which was nice, but I was sweating worse than Primemuscle finding out someone is going through his old posts. It was torture standing next to it while trying not to cremate the pizza (that's flour on the paddle, not ash). I was literally soaked and had sweat in my eyes, and stunk like I'd spent three days by a campfire.

Ultimately, they looked awful but didn't taste bad and we had a laugh. They didn't come close to Papa John's, though, and it was way too much effort.

Gotta love your retarded shaped pizzas!

Funny you mention that, as I have rated the top 3 spots in all of NY, and the only one that scored higher than an 8.8 is Di Fara, which is widely considered to be the best place in all of NYC along with Johns of Bleeker St.
