Your top 3 frozen pizza brands?
 
1. TJ's
2. Mama Lucia's
3. Totino's

TJ's only comes around for fund raisers and we buy around 10 at a time. There is no equal frozen pizza according to my wife and I.

Way down the list is #2 Mama Lucia and then it's one of the cheapest frozen pizza's you can buy - Totino's - but they are quite good for the solo dinner.

timmae 12-07-2006 06:45 PM

ok...

1. Home Run Inn
2. Tombstone
3. there is no 3...

KevinNU7 12-07-2006 06:49 PM

Supermarket store brand. If you are going to buy frozen pizza might as well buy the cheapest stuff. I prefer cheese and then I'll add my own toppings.

MizzouRah 12-07-2006 06:50 PM

Never heard of Home Run Inn, but I just went to their website and I'm getting hungry again.

BigDPW 12-07-2006 06:52 PM

1. Freschetta Brick Oven Style (Pepperoni)
2. California Pizza Kitchen (BBQ Chicken)
3. Totino's (this is what I grew up on but I rarely eat it now)

JonInMiddleGA 12-07-2006 06:52 PM

1) Totinos -- best cheapo pizza I've found
2) Kroger -- Not nearly as good as #1, but tolerable
3) Mr. P's -- Decent, except there's some sort of weird little seed like things mixed in with the toppings.

CU Tiger 12-07-2006 06:52 PM

I agree 100% on the Totino's.
Cook that sucka right on the oven rack (no pan) crust gets all nice and crispy and hard to beat...

2) Mr. Ps /G&W...same pizza seen under 2 names

3) maybe once a year we'll o the "premium" frozen pizza thing, they are all bout equal...but Ill say tombstone, just cuz...

According to their website, there are a few stores around STL that sell them.

Ironhead 12-07-2006 06:56 PM

1. California Pizza Kitchen
2. New York Tony's Pizza Slicey...thingy... (okay, I don't remember the name - it is a local brand)
3. Various - haven't found any other brand that stands out yet

cartman 12-07-2006 06:57 PM

I like the DiGiorno thin crust pizzas.

cougarfreak 12-07-2006 07:09 PM

I go to a little italian restaurant in St. Louis (about a 700 mile round trip for me) and pick up 30-40 frozen pizzas at a time. I call ahead and they freeze them up for me. It's the cheese. Restaurant is called Cusanelli's. My mom and dad grew up in St. Louis, and did the same thing after moving to NKY.

You are the BEST! I'm going to that meat store in St. Peters tomorrow. :D

General Mike 12-07-2006 07:28 PM

I don't particularly buy frozen pizza that much, but one of those companies that makes the frozen pizza kit's are pretty good.

INDalltheway 12-07-2006 07:34 PM

1. DiGiorno (rising crust)
2. Jacks
3. Freschetta

Is that the only purpose for the trip?

Neuqua 12-07-2006 07:54 PM

mmm... Totino's.....

Sometimes. I have family there, but about 1/2 the time I just go, pick up the pizza, and then drive home.

We need to work out some sort of deal if that is the only purpose of your trip.

As far as the pizza goes I have to also vote for Tontino's. While a Tombstone or DiGorno's might be a little bigger and tastier you are comparing $4.99/$5.99 sale prices to our local Save-a-lot Totinos that are $0.99. I did find a really good Brick Oven style pizza (it might have been the one that was mentioned earlier in the thread) that was half price and really good, but I can't see paying $6/$7 for a forzen pizza if it wasn't on sale.

I gotta be honest I find that really strange yet oddly cool, I'm very conflicted.

I've actually tried basically every single variety and I swear the Shop Rite store brand is actually the best of the plain varieties. DiGirono has a couple solid varieties as well though.

Izulde 12-07-2006 09:18 PM

For me, frozen pizza brands have a tendency to be cyclical in terms of how good/bad they are.

Right now it's

1. DiGornio's
2. Jack's
3. No third

Just discovered that myself. Really good pizza, and not too pricey.:)

If you like pizza, and you had this stuff..........you'd understand. :)

well I am just over the boarder from you, we may have to work a deal out :)

Logan 12-07-2006 09:48 PM

I'm not trying to crap on something that people enjoy, but is the frozen pizza thing a product of not having good fresh pizza in the area? Not wanting to leave the house? Price issue? Enlighten me please.

vex 12-07-2006 10:46 PM

1) Freschetta Brick Oven Style
2) Red Baron
3) none, really

All of the above.

MylesKnight 12-07-2006 11:58 PM

Totino's Combination Style with a little Texas Pete or Louisiana's on top.. Mmmmmm, mmmmm.. Nice reminder of my HS/College Days right there.

DiGiorno's and The Baron would be the other two mentionables for me.

Lorena 12-08-2006 12:03 AM

Totino's is some good stuff, as is DiGiorno's

mauchow 12-08-2006 12:09 AM

Home Run is good stuff.

JimmyWint 12-08-2006 06:36 AM

1)Orvs - I think it may be a local brand, but they have good spicy sauce.
2)Tombstone

Cork 12-08-2006 08:18 AM

Can't go wrong with Tombstone.

-Cork

condors 12-08-2006 08:28 AM

wow i guess i am the only one who likes stoffers, but i always snack on ellios get it bulk and its cheap

CamEdwards 12-08-2006 11:37 AM

I wandered in here thinking I'd be the only one singing the praises of Totino's. It's the perfect bachelor food. In fact, Elaine's going out of town this weekend... I should go pick some up today.

Mustang 12-08-2006 11:46 AM

1. Palermo Ultra Thin
2. DiGiorno
3. Tombstone

Obviously I prefer pizza at our pizza place but, given that our typical bill there is $20 it is cheaper at times to just do the frozen thing...


I can understand the driving 700 miles to pickup pizzas. If I had a Round Table pizza place within 700 miles I'm sure I'd do the same thing.. I used to love that place when I was out west.

Haven't heard of half of these...

1. Orv's
2. Tombstone
3. Jacks

stevew 12-08-2006 01:28 PM

I'll vote for Tony's. Not the best, mind you, but good for the price. And on the upper shelf I like DiGornio and Freschetta about equally.

PackerFanatic 12-08-2006 01:49 PM

Ah yes, Freschetta is great, just a little more expensive than I'd want to pay for frozen pizza. I can sometimes get 6 for $10 of Orv's and that is a steal

1. Kids
2. Price
3. Eat a TJ's pizza and you'll see

albionmoonlight 12-08-2006 02:12 PM

Totinos is also the perfect size for one serving. It's like they had NASA measure it or something.

As for why to eat frozen pizza . . . cheap, easy, and filling.

Palermo's plant is next door to the Falk complex that exploded in Milwaukee the other day. It cracked some of their walls, knocked down parts of some ceilings, but didn't appear to do any serious damage. One news report said Palermo took in a bunch of Falk's employees and fed them pizza, while letting Falk employees use their offices and phones.

Karlifornia 12-08-2006 06:41 PM

Totino's
Tombstone
Cali Pizza Kitchen

I really can't stand Freschetta, I mean, it tastes okay, but for some reason they never cook right in my oven. The crust will be burned, and the middle will still be doughy. I end up cutting it, turning the middle parts outside, and cooking it longer. I must be doing something wrong.

Emiliano 12-09-2006 09:00 AM

I love this thread.

It's like being in little Italy. :D

I'll third the Mr. P's and G&W's. When I was in high school my parents would have like a freezer full for me. They were easy to throw in the microwave and eat in like 10 seconds. Good if you just need your stomach to shut up.
