[QUOTE=AuntiePam] Me too, especially their Garlic Bread pizza. [/QUOTE] Those are tasty, but they give me the stomach issues something fierce. Someone upthread mentioned Connies. Those are excellent for a frozen, but overpriced IMHO. ---

Archer Farms (the high-end Target house brand) has some really terrific frozen pizzas with imported ingredients. They’re easily as good as DiGiorno, Freschetta, and the higher-end name brands, and often better. Then again, everything from Archer Farms is really good. ---

Pizzeria Uno makes a decent frozen deep dish, if you’re in the mood for Chicago-style. Any frozen pizza can be improved with some chopped tomato, onions and mushrooms tossed together with some basil and a dribble of olive oil. ---

Digiorno Spicy Chicken. Even my frozen pizza eating SO likes it. I’ll have to try the Archer Farms… I just moved to an area with a Target with a frozen section. ---

Freschetta’s sauce-stuffed-crust pizza. I think it has since been discontinued, though. ---

They have a good variety of different types of veggie-only pizzas too, which is great for those of us who don’t eat meat but get bored of the plain ol’ cheese. ---

[QUOTE=Voyager] Aside: Red Baron used to make single serving breakfast pizzas (2 to a box) which were pretty good. But they seem to have vanished. Does anyone have them in their local groceries? [/QUOTE] I can still find them here in central MN. Until my chemo started making everying taste like cardboard those little individual regular pizzas were my regular work lunch - I still haven’t found a better microwavable pizza. They don’t just “tastes good for a nuked pizza”; they’re simply GOOD out of the micro. I like DiGiorno but I simply can’t justify the price - might as well order Papa John’s. Red Baron has become my favorite simply because of its cost/quality ratio. I grew up on Schwann’s frozen pizzas - they really are THE best - but, again, lose out on the cost/quality ratio. ---

Totinos. And I’m actually serious. ---

DiGiorno Ultimate, when they’re on sale. There really is a difference between the Regular and the Ultimate. ---

I’m a Red Baron loyalist. This discussion reminds me of a trip I made to a local dive some years ago. This was a pretty run-down, scabby looking place, with cheap beer. They had a chalkboard menu with burgers and such. Deep into a night of heavy drinking, I found myself a little peckish, and I ordered pizza. A few minutes later, out came the Totino’s. Classy. ---

Another vote for Jewel’s Chef’s Kitchen frozen pizzas for “best discount frozen pizza.” For non-discount. . .Home Run Inn is fantastic. So’s Reggio’s. Connie’s is good, too. DiGiorno is, IMHO, overrated; too much sauce. ---

Connie’s is my favorite. (Connie’s is the brand name) It’s the only frozen pizza I’ve had that didn’t seem like a taste concession for the sake of convenience. Great toppings, very fresh, thin crust that’s a good compromise between crispy and tender, and a dusting of corn meal on the bottom for that pizzaria feel. Mmmmmmm… They sell them at Whole Foods and a few other places around here…not sure what chains carry them elsewhere. ---

I used to be a big fan of Celeste. But then they changed to Mama Celeste and it wasn’t the same. ---

I can’t find it anywhere, but Moose Brothers was my favorite. Our local Kroger has Angelino’s from time to time, not sure if that’s national or regional or what, but it’s very good.
