Sometimes a frozen pizza is like a fine work of art.
this is an exaggeration, but the point is sometimes the frozen pizza you make at home
is mind blowing and sometimes it is just garbage!
Here is a list of the Top 10 Frozen Pizzas Ranked From Worst To Best!
California Pizza Kitchen Four Cheese Crispy Thin Crust Pizza
The California Pizza Kitchen Four Cheese Crispy Thin Crust Pizza is arguably a pretty bad
pizza.
Sadly, it does not seem to have pleased the public.
Some online reviews state this pizza had to be thrown in the garbage because it was inedible.
Other reviews said it was gross, tasted and looked like cardboard and was over-priced
for what was given.
One particularly savage review made a comparison to a saltine cracker.
Like the ones you dip in soup or eat a box of when you have the flu.
If you love this brand of frozen pizza then maybe you need to get out there and write
a good review for it because right now the California Pizza Kitchen Four Cheese Crispy
Thin Crust Pizza is getting battered by public opinion.
Now, yet another reason this pizza has been getting some flack on the internet is because
of its packaging.
It is apparently wrapped in plastic and then topped with something and then wrapped in
plastic again and again.
One online review said unwrapping the pizza was like opening a Russian nesting doll or
conducting an archeological dig.
Ouch.
Too bad so sad for this frozen pizza.
365 Three Cheese Mini Pizzas
Warning.
This next item on our list is not a real classic frozen pizza but frozen mini pizzas.
But still, they deserve to be on this list because they are frozen and they are pizza
so in this case size doesn’t matter!
A lot of people even prefer this style of pizza as it can actually be easier to eat.
That said, the 365 Three Cheese Mini Pizzas are bad.
That is putting it mildly.
Reviews for these cute little pizzas say that they are mushy, taste fake, and one even said
they were offensive.
Oh my goodness, to think that these cute, little, unassuming, bite size pizzas can offend
someone is hilarious.
Now, what we learn when reading the reviews for the 365 Three Cheese Mini Pizzas is that
reviews can be dramatic, that sometimes frozen food does taste manmade (obviously – come
on the food is in fact frozen), and that the words mushy and pizza should not go together.
Considering all of this we may want to acknowledge that people do buy the 365 Three Cheese Mini
Pizzas and so there must be a market for the mushy taste.
Maybe there are a bunch of people out there who crave this stuff?
Home Run Inn Premium Pizzeria
Next up on our list is the Home Run Inn Premium Pizzeria collection.
They offer an array of pizzas, such as: Classic Cheese, Classic Pepperoni, and Classic Margherita
with Sausage to name a few.
They also offer some signature pizza options as well as some ultra thin crust options.
The Home Run Inn Premium Pizzeria collection is great.
They have a good selection.
They do not taste like cardboard (which can be an honest concern when talking about frozen
pizza).
They have good flavor.
They seem to tick all the boxes, right?
And they do.
They are good and there is nothing so obviously horrible about this brand of frozen pizza…
but… the Home Run Inn Premium Pizzeria is yummy but not extraordinary.
It is not something you would likely recommend though you may have eaten it and perhaps even
bought it a second time.
It is not something that has blown your socks off or floated your boat.
It is certainly not “Premium” and yet, it is not so bad that we have to wail and
moan and beg for it to be removed from the frozen food section.
Home Run Inn Premium Pizzeria is making good pizza and that’s about it.
Nothing more and nothing less.
DiGiorno Original Rising Crust Pepperoni Pizza
The DiGiorno Original Rising Crust Pepperoni Pizza is one that has many customers coming
back for more.
But, it is also a pizza that has customers writing on online message boards in a tizzy.
The deal is this: some people think it tastes like heaven and other people think the crust
is overwhelming and weird.
Eaters can’t complain if they get a crust that’s too thick because it’s right there
in the name.
So, here it is, frozen pizza buyers listen closely, if you do not want a very thick crust
then the DiGiorno Original Rising Crust Pepperoni Pizza is not for you.
Woah, so glad we have that out of the way for the thin crust only crowd.
Now we can talk about how great this frozen pizza is and how fluffy that delicious crust
rises to be.
And we have to mention that due to the large rising crust, this is one very filling pizza!
The DiGiorno Original Rising Crust Pepperoni Pizza is super awesome for either any meal
and especially great as a late night snack that you know will fill you up.
When you put it in the oven you are hungry and then you eat it and you are no longer
hungry.
That sounds like a success where frozen pizza is concerned!
Tombstone Pizza
Tombstone pizza’s questionably dark tagline “What do you want on your Tombstone?”
may be a great place to start when considering where this pizza falls on a list of the worst
to best frozen pizzas.
The analogy of pizza toppings and an epitaph seem weird and yet very well placed.
It is for these reasons that the frozen pizza does not seem to take itself too seriously
(if that is at all possible).
Unlike a frozen pizza chain like Home Run Inn Premium Pizzeria, which seems like it
wants to show off and be like “Ooo, look at me!
I am premium!” the Tombstone Pizza seems more down to earth and able to give a joke
and take a joke.
These silly interpretations of the attitudes pizzas can have may actually have more of
an effect on your frozen pizza purchasing than you think.
Tombstone Pizza is kind of cool.
They are aware that they are just a frozen pizza company, which is made clear by their
funny tagline, and boy are they rocking the market.
People like this pizza.
Maybe, just maybe, people like it not only because of its flavor but because of its brand.
There is something reassuring about it that is hard to pin down.
It is like the funny uncle you have whose sarcasm is so ripe that some people can’t
get behind it but it is actually so true, so honest, so present, and basically so great.
So, all in all Tombstone Pizza is like your funny uncle.
Hopefully that is a digression and metaphor which makes sense!
Not to mention it is iconic for having no box, how cool/funny uncle is that?!
If Tombstone Pizza is the funny uncle then Home Run Inn Premium Pizza is the uppity aunt.
Yeah?
Trader Giotto’s Organic Three Cheese Pizza
Trader Joe’s rocks.
Obviously.
It is no wonder that their in-house pizza would rock too.
It bakes well and has really good sauce.
This seems like a winning situation but a pizza is not rated only on its ability to
bake well and its sauce.
So, we must acknowledge that there has been some negative feedback regarding the Trader
Giotto’s Organic Three Cheese PIzza… mainly in terms of the quality of the cheese.
Some people online have stated that they did not like the cheese in its own right while
others thought that the cheese and sauce balance was not great.
Trader Giotto’s Organic Three Cheese Pizza certainly has room for improvements but that
does not mean it isn’t a great choice for a night in which you just need a frozen pizza!
Some folks have even been known to throw their own cheese on the frozen pizza.
What?!
You can do that!?
Yes!
You really can!
The trick is to bake the pizza for a bit and then maybe eight to five minutes before you
think it would be ready to take out of the oven, you add your own cheese that you have
cut.
You can add anything!
Cheddar, blue cheese, Gouda, Swiss, emmental, anything!
That is the beauty of making the frozen pizza at your house.
You can add what you want to it!
But, it is important to note that the pizza is good as it is.
Signature Select Rising Crust Five Cheese Pizza
This is Safeway gold.
The Signature Select Rising Crust Five Cheese Pizza is a Safeway in-house frozen pizza that
you may have purchased before.
When you bake this pizza the smell will make you drool.
For just a little bit your home will turn into a pizzeria and you will be so glad it
did.
You may even image yourself with an apron on, throwing the pizza dough in the air.
You imagine topping the pizza and putting it into your oven.
Oh the magic of it all.
Okay, okay, okay…
Let’s snap out of it.
You are not baking this incredible pizza (though hey – you probably could bake an incredible
pizza!
Give it a go!), you are simply putting a Signature Select pizza in the oven.
All imaginings aside, this pizza is really really good.
Red Baron Classic Crust Pepperoni Pizza
Now we’re talking!
The Red Baron Classic Crust Pepperoni Pizza is a frozen pizza favorite!
It is not super greasy and yet still turns out so good it seems freshly baked.
Some folks even think that this pizza was good enough to be confused with a pizza that
you ordered in for delivery!
Go figure!
Now here is a fun challenge!
Why not pop a Red Baron Classic Crust Pepperoni pizza in the oven and order a pizza from a
chain and then test your family and friends.
That will be the only way to know if you believe Red Baron is good enough to beat delivery.
Of course this all depends on the place that the delivered pizza is delivered from… but
still!
It is a fun experiment worth playing with!
Freschetta
A Freschetta pizza is the perfect blend between crispy crustiness and soft supple warm bites.
This is because of the naturally rising dough (meaning it is made with yeast); ultimately
producing a crust that is magnificent.
Other than raving about the crust on this pizza people have said that there are pretty
good ratios on this pizza.
Now, this is something that does not happen every day!
Sometimes you have too little sauce or not enough cheese.
Sometimes the toppings taste fake or are non-existent.
Getting a balanced pizza is pretty difficult!
Having balance doesn’t just matter on a balance beam or tightrope, it matters in food
and drinks!
It matters in your cocktails and it matters on your burger!
In this case it particularly matters on your pizzas!
Even on the frozen pizza’s you buy and cook at home, balance is key!
Freschetta is known for having quality toppings and for being well balanced – so that’s
a big fat win for all of us frozen pizza buyers!
Freschetta is a frozen pizza you will not only recommend but will purchase religiously.
Aren’t you hungry just thinking about this perfectly executed delight?
Newman’s Own
Newman’s Own tagline is “In crust we trust” and boy is that the truth.
This heavenly frozen pizza so is scrumptious it may be your favorite pizza ever.
Ever.
That includes delivered pizza, pizza eaten at restaurants, and even homemade pizza!
It apparently has no trans fats and no preservatives!
That is important!
Frozen food is sometimes packed with things to keep it from expiring but not this bad
boy!
The other incredible thing about Newman’s Own is that they give all of their profits
to charity.
You may be thinking this is absurd and improbable…
It isn’t!
The Newman’s Own website states “Newman's Own, Inc. continues Paul Newman’s commitment
to pay 100% of net profits and royalties from the sale of our food and beverage products
to Newman's Own Foundation, a charitable organization supporting non-profits around the world.”
Wow!
Isn’t that amazing!
So with every delicious Newman’s Own pizza you buy you are not only getting an incredible
product but helping out!
That’s bonkers!
