Date: October 18th, 2025 8:43 PM Author: ocher vigorous corner it just doesn't make sense how awful they all are, you can freeze real pizza dough and make a perfectly fine pizza with it, tomato sauce should literally just be tomatoes, there is no reason for it to suck, and cheese, like come on, you can't manage to put decent cheese on one?

these products exist they are just a small share of the market because that is not the point of frozen pizza. people aren't buying pizza stones to cook their elios to perfection. |
|
Date: October 18th, 2025 8:54 PM Author: ocher vigorous corner what product exists that isn't trash? I would buy it, my point is the convenience shouldn't preclude being decent, I could make an english muffin pizza with ragu sauce and store brand cheese and it would beat the frozen offerings (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5787606&forum_id=2...id.#49358637) |

Date: October 18th, 2025 10:06 PM Author: erotic public bath It's hard to get the ingredients all back to the appropriate temperature from frozen. The bread touches the oven and cooks at a different rate than the sauce, versus the cheese which faces the heat element and needs to melt (rather than crisp up).
With that said, it's fine and you can actually get a decent vacuum sealed frozen neopolitan pizza from Roberta's or Table 87. You'll pay for it, but it's better than digiorno or whatever. |

The correct answer is to plan 1 hour ahead and order a pizza when you want one. You can reheat pizza if delivery guy is slow or you have no one to help you eat it. |

Anyway some of it is because of You. You have to know exactly how long to cook it and potentially when to turn/rotate it. Using a non-pizza-oven is already going to give you a questionable outcome no matter how good the dough is. |
