OT: Best Pizza in CT

[CL82]

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.

@Kitaman Throw some oregano on it and it will help a bit. Most pizza sauces are more oregano based. For what it is worth, frozen pizza is okay in a pinch, but it doesn't really tast much like like pizza.

Frechetta

Tony's, if I can find it. Something about the sauce. Red Barron is second choice, I think it's made by the same people, not sure.

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

It's surely no worse than fresh pizza. Unless you're attacking all pizza, in which case you suck.

Answer is Freschetta for full size, Red Baron for singles.

Best frozen pizza recipe ever!

1) Carefully remove the frozen pizza from the box being careful not to lose any of the toppings.
2) Pre heat oven to 450 degrees.
3) Place pizza on a pizza baking stone once the stone has reached the required temperature.
4) Cook for 15 minutes reducing the heat to 400 degrees for the last 3 minutes.
5) Remove from the oven and let sit for 5-6 minutes
6) Throw out the pizza and go to Pepe's.

There isn't one that has been made yet.

I have yet to find a frozen pizza that satisfies my craving for a pizza. Some are palatable. Most are not.

I have found one that is truly inedible though. Digiorno's Rising Crust. Worse yet, it seems that every local supermarket dropped the thin crust Digiornos to make room for this crap.

Freschetta

I agree. Freshetta is very passable which is a good grade for frozen pizza. I like the one with Peperoni and Sausage.

 

[Deepster]

I feel the moooooojooooo riiiiiiizzzzin like pizza dough!

Buffalo wing pizza with a side of Rolling Rock? Hmmmm.

Like Chicago Style pizza which isn't pizza at all, more of a Midwestern hot dish, frozen pizza is also not pizza. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. I also used to love the Stouffers pizzas but I think my favorite growing up was those little Jeno's pizza bites or whatever thin tastelss things Jeno's made. as long as it had that spicey faux sausage/pepperoni stuff on it. I could pop through dozens of those on a good football day. These days I like the Freschetta ones best I guess. I find the ones that try to hard to be like real pizza to be terrible. it's mostly abattle to find out which piece of cardboard has the best tasting pepperoni because all the toppings on frozen pizzas are pretty much garbage. At the end of the day the best frozen pizza is the one that's 5 for 10 dollars today.

This. I stopped buying anything from 7-eleven after they intentionally got Bazz sick before the Temple game.

I like Sammy, but this went right over my head. I was trying to play off your avatar, but on second look she is Rosanne, not Emily.
Either way, I love Gilda!

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.

If you're going to take the trouble to go to a grocery store to buy a frozen pizza in the first place, why not just go to the plethora of fresh pizza options around you. For crying out loud, there's a thread about a million posts long debating the best pizza in CT. Living in Austin, TX, I'm jealous of all the options you have in CT. You're worst pizzas are probably better than our best.

If you're anywhere near Newington, stop in at Stretch's. Tell my brother Stevie I sent you....he owns the joint!

Uno's deep dish personal pan pizza is sold at Big Y. I cook it on the grill. It's as good as you'd get at any Uno's. My guess is it's the same as you'd get at an Uno's.

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

I think your taste buds know it won't be in your stomach for long.

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

That was the only brand I remember back in the 70's. It's still available, in the classic box. It also claims to be all natural ingredients.
