OT: Best Pizza in CT

[UCweCONN]

Best frozen pizza: The one that's on sale.

I can't recall eating a plain frozen pie, so it hard for me to say.I dress up anything frozen.

Aldi's has a nice pie, Red Baron ain't bad. By the time I add sausage, pepperoni, cheese, peppers, etc.. you can't see the pie anyway.

The number one rule for me is to be hungry (actually famished) for me to enjoy it.

My question is does anyone actually microwave it according to directions?

I don't microwave anything, microwaves ruin food.

My question is, if you're going to go through all the trouble of adding all that stuff to mediocre pizza anyway, why not start with a better base and buy some fresh dough, sauce and cheese? Or in a pinch, one of these?

IMO it beats Boboli or Mama Rosa's.

Used to crush full Tombstone's back in the day and eat half of my sisters because she would eat a lot slower lol.

I may try, what but I wouldn't know what sauce or type of cheese to buy (or how much for one pie). I know mozzarella, but on my frozen pie I just add some parmesan on the existing cheese. What cheese and sauce have you used?

Just buy a bottle of marinara, maybe your favorite but preferably something whose first two ingredients begin with "whole crushed tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil" instead of "water, tomatoes, vegetable oil". You won't need the whole thing either, so you can save the rest for pasta the next night or something. Then just grab a couple mozzarella balls from the deli cheese bazaar, I avoid the shredded in the bag stuff, slice them as thin as you can get and go to town with the rest of your toppings.

The one that's in your freezer when you come home after midnight all screwed up!

The best frozen pizza in my opinion is a pepperoni Tombstone. Its cheap but don't let the price fool you. The crust gets extra crispy, the pepperoni is juicy and flavorful, the sauce has a nice spice to it. I'd vote this pizza hands down. Be sure to sprinkle crushed red pepper and garlic powder...now you are in business. I think it's 5 bucks for a pie....just try one, you won't regret it.

Frozen cheese pizzas from costco. Their own brand. Pretty darn good.

 

[joober jones]

DiGiorno garlic bread frozen pizzas are pretty good.

Perhaps there's some mojo here... opponent names scrolled across Tombstone pizza boxes

Being from Stamford and being spoiled with good pizza and now living in Richmond VA, I have taught myself to make a damn good pizza from scratch at home. If I had to have a frozen pizza though just for nostalgia sake, I'm going with Ellios like I used to get at the baseball field when I was in little league.

I feel the moooooojooooo riiiiiiizzzzin like pizza dough!

Ideally we would never have to eat such things but we have all been there. As a kid I loved those Stouffer's French bread pizzas as an adult if I'm forced to eat a frozen pizza Red Baron is actually pretty decent. I expect this thread to bring us a recruit in the near future.

Holy moly people still east frozen pizza? Take a look at the fat content on one of those babies!!!

 

[sledog]

ANYTHING is better than NJ pizza.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Digiorno thin crust Pepperoni.

The roof of my mouth hurts just thinking about Stouffer's french bread pizza. Haven't seen one of those in decades.

None.

This, times 1,000.
Grew up within 45 minutes of NYC and didn't realize how good the pizza was til I moved to two other states, which, to be fair, had things named "pizza" that looked like pizza, but tasted like donkey ass.
Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns - all so-so blah pizza. It'll do if you're hungry.

Ferenzi's in Danbury circa '80 was my benchmark pizza. Guy went back to Italy.

Tried Little Caesar when it first opened. Seemed too good to be true. Two small pizzas for 7 bucks or some crazy thing. Got it in the car. Had 2 slices. Threw the rest out. Never have been back. Should be sued by the FDA for claiming to make "pizza."

The only good thing ever to come from Little Caesar's was their bacon wrapped deep dish pizza. Other than that, they're terrible.

Tell us what does a donkey's ass taste like or better yet, how many times have you enjoyed one???

 

[storrsroars]

The only frozen pizza I can recall liking even a little bit was Tree Tavern. No idea if they're still in business.

I hope not. When I saw a tree tavern pizza in our freezer growing up, I wanted to cry. Tasted so weird.

 

[boog204]

I'm probably the only person in existence who still likes these, but I always liked Totino's frozen pizza. I used to roll them up like a giant burrito and eat it that way. Still pick one up every now and again.

I wonder what @Fishy thinks.

It's Stouffer's all day followed behind Ellio's. Im a big fan of the micro-bake option. 2 1/2 minutes in the nuker, 7 minutes in the oven, then 3 minutes in the fridge so you don't burn your face off. The fridge part is the most important. That ish comes out like lava.
