      @@MrEd8846 Tony's and Red Baron are made by the same company BTW. Red Baron was basically their deluxe brand, and Tony's was the discount brand but they've expanded their offerings. Tony's makes a lot of the school pizzas we grew up eating, to give you an idea of the difference between those two brand's markets.

      It's a dialectal pronunciation that was used by Southern Italian immigrants in the early 20th century, not standard modern Italian. Those are the people who introduced Italian food to the East Coast of the US, and their descendants still refer to their dishes/ingredients using the dialect of their great-grandparents.

They push the "organic" scam more than anyone else. (If you didn't know organic foods were a scam, maybe research what is required to be organic certified farmer. I support some of the rules, which should be universal, but others are obviously absurd and exist only for an overpriced marketing ploy.)

    This is giving me nightmares flashbacks of cafeteria cheese pizza.
    That everyone knew was imitation dairy, tomato, and bred 😂😊

      I love his lack of pretense, and the way he lovingly asked for Ellio's (probably for the nostalgia and memories) got it, then ripped it to culinary shreds. It was sincere and authentic, but he knew that nothing can ever compare to an Ellio's pizza and never will. Ellio's is Ellio's and we'll just have to deal with it. Haha He was awesome.

    So…Newman’s is a winner, Tombstone is a winner, Uno is a winner (although they say it’s not a pizza), and Table 87 is a big winner. 🏆

      I heard about that brand, tried it, all I can say it was the worst frozen pizza I have ever had, did not even eat but one slice.

    Newman's is pretty decent for the price here. I will look for Table 87 to try it and also Unos. Also get a thick baking sheet and let it heat with the oven. It helps a lot. Also the micro broil at the end.

      The grocery stores by me will have some of the newman dressings, but no ranch or frozen food. Shame since the ranch is one of the best packaged I've found, I'd love to try the pizza.

    I actually really hate too crispy bottoms on pizza. It makes the whole thing unenjoyable to eat for me. The only exception might be really thin crust pizza.

    • @Deborahtunes

      Me too. When the crust is too crispy it's like trying to eat twigs. I like the crust to be just a little bit chewy...

      Most of these *were* really thin crust pizza. (Frozen grocery store pizza almost always is.)

      Totino's has to be crispy or it is slop. Okay, it might be slop either way but in that case crispy slop trumps bendable slop.
