Frozen Pizzas: Part one of an infinate part series.

Frozen Pizzas:Part one of an infinate part series.
So we all see them there in our grocer's freezers sections, some of them are noteworthy for their efforts towards taste, others their affordability, and even some for the levels of sorrow, and disappointment that they can incur on our tastebuds. Everyone has a favorite - whether it be for its flavor, versatility or straight up price, we all have reasons why we like some more than others. I think of the situation as a clique, or even a gang.

I am a former member of the Totino's Party Pizza Crew (east side division), I used to spend my days stocking my freezer when they would go on special for 10 for $10 (during sporting events even cheaper). Then a few things happened:1) The world was made aware of Trans-Fats!!! - Totino's is high in their meat pizzas (90% of their inventory)2) There have a been a couple of Ecoli scares. I've seen signs twice this last year stating that there was a recall on all products produced by Totino's except for the "Cheese", and "Canadian Style Bacon" pizza. Bummer. those are the worst two of all their offerings.

Like Little Orphan Annie once said, it's a hard knock life... so I took my punches and delved into some of the new products offered, both cheap and high end, and let me tell you, I came out on top of the situation.

DiGiorno's has a few new products that are ... well amazing! Their "Ultra" selection is now the King of the frozen isle (and the price will dictate that $6.99+). It boasts a "whole milk" mozzarella, and "top cut" pepperoni toppings (all other offerings in this line being "top cut" on toppings too). The sauce is great for a frozen preservative laden product, as is the crust - they finally got that strange taste out of the "oven rising" series. Try it. If you don't like it... then you're not in my gang.

A good "bottom dweller" these days has got to be either the Label brand "Kroger" or the "Essentia" out of Smiths Foods and Albertsons (respectively). One or the other is typically on special for $3.99 or so, and to me, that is affordable.

We'll talk more about "dressing your frozen pizza for success" in the next segment of FROZEN PIZZA!Until then, lets keep the gang warfare down.
