why isn't it possible to make a decent frozen pizza?

Date: October 18th, 2025 8:43 PM Author: swashbuckling base 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?

Date: October 18th, 2025 8:47 PM Author: high-end brethren need to cook the thing at extremely high heat on a conductive surface to get remotely decent crisp at home, and it needs to be pretty thin to begin with to get there. frozen pizza is a convenience item made for people tossing it in the toaster oven or microwave for a couple minutes. once you start putting in effort you might as well make something decent.
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: swashbuckling base 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/#49358637) |
|
Date: October 18th, 2025 9:02 PM Author: high-end brethren "convenience shouldn't preclude being decent" in a vacuum sure but if you don't take care to get it crispy it will inevitably be shit, or at least you will have to acquiesce in appreciating it as a compromise frozen product. if you want "quality convenience" then don't get something that involves baking.
zuppardi's is a t5 new haven pizza place that ships frozen pizzas nationally since covid but for the price and hassle it defeats the purpose |
|
Date: October 18th, 2025 9:04 PM Author: swashbuckling base I have no problem getting it crispy and preheating a stone, the issue is how fucking shit the ingedients and flavor are, and yeah getting a pizza shipped from new haven does defeat the purpose, why can't fucking digiorno just make something that isn't soaked in ketchup with cheese that doesn't taste like cheese is my question?

|
Date: October 18th, 2025 10:06 PM Author: orchid floppy potus 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. |
|
Date: October 18th, 2025 10:09 PM Author: swashbuckling base this is the part I disagree with, I have no issue with the cooking or the temps, you can get the crust crisped up nicely on plenty of them, but the sauce and cheese are almost inedible and I think they could literally just freeze a can tomato puree and some store brand mozzerlla and do better flavor wise, texture really isn't that far off (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5787606&forum_id=2/#49358792) |

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. |
