How has no one commented on the accidental penis remark????
I guess sex and food really do go hand in hand🤣🤣🤣
I bursted out laughing!
I am cracking up 🤣 "a pretty looking penis"
@@janvi1479 100% same🤣
@@Vanessa-fs7oz I was working while watching this, and I stopped everything I was doing I laughed SO hard. At first, I thought, “Did I imagine she said that???”
I literally was scrolling, surprised no one said anything 😭😂 busted out laughing
I would say when you're ranking junk foods, don't factor healthiness into the rank. However it's useful to point out ones that are especially healthy or unhealthy if the viewer wants to weigh that into their choice.
I love that you put more information and take the things that are important to YOU (which are also important to me) in to consideration when ranking.
Nah, factor in healthiness when it's THAT bad for you. lol
I would love to see a vegan ice cream ranking!! I recommend the Trader Joes strawberry frozen oat dessert to test- it's the BEST ice cream! But I'm sick of strawberry and need more options. These videos help me save so much money so I don't have to try out everything myself. Thank you!
Great idea.
That’s so hard cause there’s so many! Ben and Jerry’s has over 10 vegan flavors as does SO delicious. Quite a few nada moo, haagen dahz, and even breyers ice creams too. Not saying I dislike the idea btw, just don’t know how it would be done. Maybe doing the same flavor for each brand?
I’m not sure if they have it in your stores and it can get pricey depending where you look, but I’m IN LOVE with the ones from van leeuwen!!!
Ugh I loveeeee so delicious. It tastes just like normal ice-cream to me. The cinnamon cookie one ams caramel cluster, so good! And at one point they had cold brew coffee. I wish I could still find that one
Jeni’s vegan Texas sheet cake. Amazing.
“Why did it come to my mouth! 😩😳😐😑” Hahaha Merle! So good!
that penis accident got me laughing SO hard omg. Merle, you kill me LOL
I shook myself 👀
WE LOVE THIS WOMAN AND WE LOVE JUSTIN’S REQUESTS!!!
Merle: “these are my opinions so take it with a grain of salt”
More like take it with 100% of your daily sodium :P
😅
I LOVE THIS RANKING SERIES!!!! I dont typically buy frozen pizza and I will make my own!! Idk if you would honestly count this as a pizza but I make "pizza" by using pizza dough and putting pesto, tofu, basil and tomatoes on it!! ITS SO SO GOOD AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND (its also really affordable to make)
o0o0 Thank you Sam!!!! that sounds delish
I feel like it would be great if you just ranked the taste and not the nutritional content! People can look up the nutrition facts for any of these items and decide for themselves what's important to them. The thing we don't know until we buy it is how it tastes! Personally when I'm eating a frozen pizza I just want it to taste good :) thanks for these great reviews!
yes!!!! plus everyone's looking different at health, like some are looking for lower fat while the other one is looking for less sodium. for example i don't care about protein haha
I agree completely, I just want it to taste good. I don’t care AT ALL about sodium, I tried fast forwarding through those parts because they are irrelevant to me
amen 🙌
and I thought the other way. on the basis that, I think how food makes you feel after eating it is just as important. maybe it's because I have a sensitive digestive system that can be quite aggressive in the after food experience. lol.
@@shannondavidson683 I totally agree that how food makes you feel is super important! However, she didn't say anything about how the food made her feel, she simply gave us the numerical value of the sodium content. This is something that you can very easily look up online for each product before purchasing. Also, how food makes you feel is so incredibly personal, so even if she did say how she felt after eating the food, it would likely have little to no value to you. You could both eat the same food and feel completely different. No one but you knows what level of sodium or any other nutrient is appropriate for you!
Blackbird is absolutely my favorite too!! I tend to steer clear of frozen vegan pizza because so often it's also gluten free and I hate to admit that I just cant stand a gluten free crust 😢 but Blackbird is awesome. Amy's is pretty good too and I actually love the cheese less roasted veggie one 🤷♀️ I love the daiya toppings but again the crust... lol... I just need a good fluffy crust. Wish daiya made gluten free and gluten full versions of their pizza 🍕
I hope y'all like this one - I felt 500 years old at the end of this day but it was WORTH IT - Next ranking will be 2 weeks from today and we'll be doin veggie burgers- LMK your favorite brands! instagram.com/merleeshay/?hl=en
I believe my current faves are bubba veggie and dr. Praeger’s pea protein burgers
Trader Joe’s cowboy quinoa veggie burger
The Bubba veggie burgers are fantastic ~
Trader Joe's Cowboy Quinoa. My absolute favorite!!
Oooh I’m trying to move into a more vegan/vegetarian lifestyle and these types of vids are so fun and helpful! Save some money on trying a million things thanks Merle !
You are most welcome!
Canned soups! You could even do a few videos, sub-sectioning the different kinds. I'm thinking of Gardein, Pacific. Amy's, McDougall's, Imagine, Progresso, Upton's, store brands (Great Value, Trader Joe's, Simple Truth), Well Yes!, and maybe others...?
Like you mentioned, most frozen foods aren't good for you, especially frozen pizzas, so I would just ignore that aspect in terms of rating if I were you. My ultimate fav is the blackbird supreme, but I also love all three of the amy's flavors that you tried (and I'm going to ignore your unfair hate for the cheeseless one 😉).
Love these segments! Makes me hungry everytime tho. But rate the dishes purely on the basis of taste, let us know the healthy segments of it, but let the TASTE be the PURE JUDGE!
Yessss you're right, that's gotta be the way to do it
I think that how you feel after eating is just as important. Are you really going to choose to buy a frozen pizza that makes you feel bad (e.g. dehydrated, nauseous, etc) even if it tastes good? And to me, food can't taste good once my brain knows that I will feel terrible after. lol
i saw a few comments saying that bringing up the nutritional info about each pizza is unnecessary, but honestly it’s super duper helpful to me and it’s not like it takes time away from the video. but it’s really helpful for health conscious viewers (such as yours truly) so that i don’t have to go internet digging for the info on each pizza. so thank you for including the nutritional info & i hope you keep doing it !
14:35 HAD ME DEAD 🤣🤣🤣☠️ such an unexpected little blurt I was laughing so damn hard
You set yourself up for failure when you said "I'm impressed with the thickness of the pepperoni" 🤣
I love these videos! Personally, I only care about the taste and the price. If I am eating freezer meals health value really doesn’t matter to me
Gewd to know
As someone w celiac, I would love more gluten free rankings but it’s only fair to do it if every contender is GF. I don’t like cauliflower crust either (almost ever)
I really like the Amy’s cheeseless but it’s not really pizza pizza lol it’s just yummy
Bruh it's so good, plus you can add your own cheese on it too.
Yesss it’s my favorite
Thank you for this, Merle! I have a garlic allergy and the only vegan pizza I could find that doesn't have garlic is the Amy's Margarita Pizza. I was worried that it wouldn't be as good as other vegan pizzas, but now I am excited to try it!
You just made me realize why Amy’s vegan margarita pizza didn’t trigger my acid reflux, most pizzas do it to me, including most fried foods but it must be a garlic thing
@@L1ttlef0ot Acid reflux can definitely have allergic or allergic-like triggers so I wouldn't be surprised. With the Amy's Margarita Pizza, it also doesn't have onion in it, so that might be another thing to keep an eye on. Good luck!
Thank you for your comment, I am glad I finally found a vegan pizza without onion and garlic because of your comment, please suggest other such products 😊
I love the Amy's No Cheese Pizza recently the vegetables have been small and they have put less on but it's was one of my favorite!
Seems like i maybe got a bad one cuz there was almost nothing on it 😅
Such a fun episode!
In regards to including "health" information about the food, I'd be more interested in allergen information that anything having to do with "health" ironically the salt is a good example, I need more than most cause of an autoimmune disorder I have, so that's not unhealthy for me (might be for others still!) But knowing there was a gluten free option, actually helpful for me!
I think too it can get a little triggering when we're ranking food based on "healthy" because that's SO subjective, and for a lot of people, putting any type of food into their bodies every day is a battle enough, let alone worrying about the "health" of the items too.
(Like we know everything in moderation is best, but neurodivergant brains/people with a history of eating disorders have to learn that all food is good food, and a full tummy is what matters 🥰)
I love this series so much, I have no actual complaints! But since you asked for opinions! Haha
Ranking it based on accessibility, taste, and price, seems like a good three tier system to me 🥰
Love your content always Merle!
I'm shocked you didn't love the Amy's roasted veggie cheeseless one!! It's one of my favorites
Same!!
it does seem to be one of my more unpopular opinions hehehe - it feels more like a flatbread to me and less like a pizza I suppose! Glad you enjoy it tho!
It’s too sweet for me. They add a lot of sugar
@@Sasscat58 Do they? I've never even looked at the ingredients. I always thought the sweetness came from the onions😄
Same!!!
I agree with everything BUT the Amy’s roasted pizza. It’s so so good!!
for gluten free pizza i rly recommend the brand oggi ! especially the siciliana one, the crust is pretty good for GF and it's super yummy :)
I love the Daiya. You need to cook it directly on the bottom rack for the cook time then move to top rack for an additional 10 minutes. It crisps beautifully that way
I ate a sweet earth pizza last night, and I swear, that brand seems to just be mildly disappointing for everything I've tried from them. Thanks for the ranking! :)
We tried the Amy's vegan supreme one for the first time a couple weeks ago and were surprised at how good it was. The only other brand we had tried was daiya and we all thought it was disgusting. Excited to try Amy's margahrita and the blackbird brand, thanks for the recommendations!!
Love ya MERLE! You def should do a gluten free/cauliflower crust etc different episode. Nothing compares to proper pizza dough.......give Clo Clo some redemption
Love this! Would love more comparison videos/reviews 😍😍😍
Love this series! I'd really like a cheese comparison -- testing the cheese both uncooked AND cooked (like grilled cheese). (So I guess you'd have two rankings for each cheese.)
you could also do frozen vegan burritos, there's alpha burrito, amy's burritos, sweet earth, daiya now has burritos
I'm glad you didn't cut that out, first time I've laughed in weeks. Thank you for the content, been binging UA-cam lately :)
Love this series so much! Those first two looked so good, not going to lie! haha
I think I would just give each item 2 rankings: one for taste and a holistic one combining taste, price, nutrition, gluten-free or not, etc.
Also thanks for making these videos. Vegan but my diet is pretty boring. Would be open to trying new things more but I don't have too much disposable income and I'm afraid of wasting money on something I might not like. I'll definitely look into trying the TJ and flatbread pizza when I can.
On behalf of 🐄 🦆 🐖 🐓 🐇 Thankyou for being Vegan and for using your channel to show how fun and easy it can be 🙏
That's a dope meaning. Blackbird.
Loving this series!! 😍 Regarding the nutrition side of it, I really like the idea you mention where you just share the nutrition facts with us and then just move on the evaluating the food itself based on favor, appearence etc. It just takes some fun out of the experience to hear nutrition commentary lol 😆
The first few pizza's looked absolutely delicious! I would totally buy those if I could
thank you for considering the health aspect into your ranking Merle, that's one thing i think about before buying so it keeps the review more honest/authentic! & good you re-ranked at the end haha love that
I like that you mention the health stuff! But I wouldn’t take it into account TOO heavily in your ranking.
But for example, it’s useful to know that even though the daiya pizza tastes really good, they went about it in a much different way than the blackbird brand
this is my fave series you make merle, keep it up girly ❤️🤘🏻😎🌙
Love this series!! It gets me so excited to go to the grocery store and try new items!
I'm so glad!
I LOVE that Vermont was represented with the American Flatbread one! I love that place and go to their Burlington location frequently since I live right by it.
I've been looking forward to this video for so long and it's finally here! 🥰 Merle's loving and funny nature is just the thing after a hard day 💕 greetings from Germany! We really enjoy watching your videos here ☺️
Aww that makes me so happy, I'm honored to be able to give you some rest and relaxation (and a few laughs 😉)
@@MerleONeal Thanks for answering ☺️
I've been sad a lot lately. But your videos always cheer me up and I love that you keep in touch with your subscribers 🥰 Thank you for your good videos and the effort you put into it ❤️
LOVE Blackbird! It's the best! They hand toss the crust unlike the machine disks used in other pizzas. Great video!
Thank you Merle for always making me lol. You channel is amazing.
Love you Merle🥰You just make my day better🥰
Oh wow those first pizzas look sooo good. Wish we had them in the UK.
Loved this ranking video so much! Honestly, I really appreciated hearing your existential crisis when ranking because it helps me know what I would want to eat in different times and circumstances. Sometimes you wanna eat a pizza tasting thing but not want to wake up multiple times in the night to relieve your bladder of the gallons of water you had to drink post pizza… and sometimes you just wanna go all in despite knowing that you will most likely feel like poop afterwards. Anyway, I appreciated knowing all of your thoughts and feelings about each one though it made the ranking process harder haha. Thank you!
I'm very happy to hear my ramblings are doing their job
Loved these reviews as per usual.. ya saucy lady! hehe
muahahahaha
Amy’s vegan Margherita pizza is THE best as a base to add more toppings! Beyond OGGI Texan style is also a favorite. This was enjoyable, thanks for sharing 😊
You should definitely try the blackbird barbecue chickn flavor
Miss you merle... ❤️ So happy you upload new video
Ok I have to admit I lost my coffee over this about half way through lol Great video as always I love how you are so honest about the products. I think the only ones we have over here are the Amy ones but I tend not to buy frozen pizza if i can help it. We are lucky enough to have a couple of places in town that deliver vegan pizza so that's my first choice cos I plan movie/pizza days lol :D :D :D
I’m dying at 14:34 🤣🤣🤣
Love all your rankings. Only info that's really necessary is brand, price (total, per serving, per oz), and dietary (i.e. gf).
Love this! 🥰 I like when you just focus on taste and just have fun with the rankings... who cares about sodium, cost, calories, etc. when eating vegan junk food lol.
Yes! Thank you!
The Trader Joe's and Amy's Margherita are the best vegan pizzas I've tasted. Thanks for sharing the other brands. I'll have to try them next time
I absolutely love these videos and watch every single one even though I live in Poland and we don’t get any of the brands from the video here ;)
I think it’ll be fine if you only rate the taste and not the healthy/unhealthy aspect.
Thank you for the tasttetest, some of those looked really nice.
Blackbird is amazing...I even BURNT my first Blackbird & I still ate it & it was still the best vegan frozen pizza I'd ever had.
YES to a gluten free episode! And allergy-friendly products in general! So many vegan products use gluten, unfortunately for me.
Totally!
Does a pizza rating video with no pizza cutter 😂 love you Merle! I want to try the blackbird one! But you are right, holy sodium
I was glad Merle included cost as well as the salt content, which are important factors to me. The Trader Joe’s ranking is impressive for the cost!
I work at Trader Joe’s and we have so many awesome vegan products that most people don’t know about! You should try the vegan ramen and vegan frozen meal!!
the american flatbread pizza is one of my favorites! solid snack. the trader joe's pizza is also very tasty and i pick one up almost every time i go
You should try Sonoma Flatbreads’ fire roasted vegetable pizza it’s sold at Walmart. It’s so good with Trader Joe’s hot honey and balsamic fig glaze!
As someone that is lactose intolerant i've been kind of experimenting with various different things, one being vegan because it's all i've really found for dairy free. It's been tough because I want the actual thing but i can't have too much. So, stumbling upon your videos has helped, I've been contemplating on trying the Daiya cheese pizza so maybe after this i'll give it a try. ( feel free to leave recommendations if you want to)
have a wonderful day
I love the BBQ chkn one from Blackbird. So delicious.
Would to see a video where you make your own vegan pizza , also the editing on this video was S tier 😊
I was curious to see if the pizza is any better in other countries, but it does not seem to be, haha. I will stick to making it myself 😁 Thanks for the hard work, there, Merle 😃
Blackbird is mine and my partner's all time favorite. We just had some last night. :3
i been waiting for this one TURN IT UP
I love these ranking videos so much. You should totally review vegan hotdogs.
And corndogs
@@cindymoss4082 I second this notion 😀
Omg I died at your Freudian slip!! 🤣
Haha this was so funny to watch because the Amy's cheeseless pizza was always my favorite (but also it's usually the only vegan option available at stores in my area)
I'll have to try Blackbird pizza. Amy's Margherita is def my fave. A small tip: Daiya says they're pronounced "Day-uh"
the no cheese amy's pizza is one of the only ones on this list that i have access to and i've tried, and it's really good in my opinion! i get that it's not for everyone and it's not like your traditional tomato sauce and cheese pizza but i still enjoy it and i like to add my own veggies on top. it definitely depends on how long you cook it though if you prefer the crust to have a certain texture, but overall very satisfying for me. i had no idea they all had so much sodium though
Thank you for doing this, Merle. I've been dying to try but hate wasting money on anything but a GREAT frozen pizza. Because otherwise, Trader Joe raw pizza dough and the bit of time it takes to make fresh is 100 times more worth any frozen variety. But I am planning on getting Trader Joe's Meat Lover's Meatless and put garlic butter all over the tasteless crust! Plus more cheese maybe.
Love these videos. Have I be saying seitan incorrectly this whole time or is this the Merle way? ;P
One of my fav series :D you shoule do vg cheese slices!
IT''S ON ME LIST 😈
The Oggi plant based pizzas with beyond meat are so good! And they by far have the best cauliflower gf crust I have ever had. You should definitely include them for a GF episode.
The crust is good on them, and the first couple times I had them they tasted great. Recently though they've tasted kind of bland. Not bad just not as much flavor. I had to add salt to get it to taste right.
we don't have any of these pizzas available in finland cause we obviously don't have the same grocery stores here, but there's a finnish brand with a couple of frozen vegan pizzas that cost only about 2,5 euros and they're really delicious!
merle i love you!!!
Due to a medical condition I need to eat a high sodium diet. I guess I should be eating more vegan frozen pizza!!
Is it POTS? Cuz if so, same!
@@smudge8882 yes!
@@bumbley.umbley Oh cool! I've never seen another vegan with POTS before. :D
I wish you had done the vegan one of Alex's Awesome Sourdough frozen pizzas. I find that one to be the best! (but, of course, I would like to try Blackbird and Clo-Clo but can't locate them in my area).
Oo you should taste test Whipped Urban dessert lab ice cream pints! It's gourmet vegan and black women owned ice cream from a NYC scoop shop (sold on goldbely) and it's literally the best thing ever!!
Drooling over the blackbird pizzas now lmao. My freezer is way too full to buy some though.
I wouldn't judge based on health because everyone holds health at a different priority in their life, I would judge based on taste/ flavor alone
“You decided for me, I can’t do this alone! I’m a Libra!” Same Merle, same
Helpful. I don’t like the daiya crust. If that's a A grade pizza then only the blackbird is worth eating. I'll try it. Usually I make my own homemade pizza. If no time to make dough, I like cornmeal crust with lots of sauce and veggies.
I grew up in the town American flatbread started! I went to high school with George’s daughter and my family’s supermarket was the first to carry their pizza!
I'm not even vegan but i love the daiya meatless meat lovers pizza! I make mine in an air fryer so it's really crispy though.
Clo Clo may be my absolute favorite vegan frozen pizza, but I always go for the version with the sweet potato crust. The sweet potato crust has the crunch of a
For Daiya how was the cheese flavor and texture, was it similar to the warm goopy texture that most cheese has?
I enjoy the nutritional review, sodium bloats a gal real bad.
Amy's no cheese I enjoy if I over cook the crust slightly.
Have to try the BlackBird, love a good quality pizza.
My favorite is the Amy’s supreme pizza but I’ve never tried the blackbird one!
Merle. Ty for your pizza review. The Sweet Earth: can't eat this as is, it's a good base pizza to add to. That cauliflower sauce is hard for me to get passed. Daiya Cheeze your review surprised me. Normally Daiya is plastic tasting. I will try again. Never heard of Blackbird. These reviews you do are time consuming on your part & thorough. Mention the nutrition, it's up to adult vegans to decide to eat the food. Thank You.
Hiii!!! I saw you mentioned you may want to try a gluten free video! I also saw you had some veggie burgers that were corn free/ GF/ soy free, very exciting! Would love to see a video on allergies. Corn free/ soy free/ gluten free / yeast free / canola oil free 😅💘
Stay well and keep shining ✨
