Do you doctor/augment/adulterate store-bought pizzas before you bake them at home?

I guess I won’t need a chair at your funeral.

I used to sprinkle on a bunch of extra cheese, but I don’t anymore since a lost a lot of weight. I just eat them as-is.

We buy those from time to time, as my wife can eat them. There’s also a brand of frozen pizza with a crust made of chicken, which she really likes.

Generally get it meatless, then add turkey pepperoni, at least to parts of it. But I buy take-home-and-heat pizza so rarely this hardly counts.

Garlic powder, oregano and red pepper.

I am happy for you, truly. There are people who cannot tolerate gluten and I feel for them. This lets them reasonably enjoy something that would otherwise cause a lot of trouble. But I can tolerate gluten just fine so a cauliflower crust fits in the, “I say its spinach and I say to hell with it” meme.

I like to buy Trader Joe’s frozen margarita pizzas and top them with pre-cooked shrimp and mushrooms. Marinated artichoke hearts and extra parmesan cheese are also popular, as is spinach and fresh basil. Whatever I have around the house that day, in other words.

I had a craving for a melted cheese dinner yesterday, so I bought a ball of fresh mozzarella and a package of pre-made naan. Spread a little leftover marinara on the bread, topped with cooked crumbled bacon and a little sautéed onion. Covered it with the cheese, drizzled the last of the sauce on top. Stuck it in a 400 oven until the cheese melted and started to brown.

Why would anyone buy frozen pizza?

Why buy frozen pizza? Because I can buy one or two and leave them in the freezer. Your fresh mozzarella-on-naan sounds great but it required you to shop for fresh ingredients. (Plus you had leftover marinara, bacon and onion.)

This is going to sound crazy- are you sitting down? Frozen pizza is convenient and easy. You can even do it properly if you’re completely hammered.

Phone the local independent pizzaria, assuming you have one, and ask for delivery? They…make it fresh.

You can still crawl to the front door through your own vomit and shove a fistful of bills at the delivery guy. I know I do!

Yeah. No one is confused about the difference between frozen and fresh made pizza. But I for one appreciate your concern.

Of course, this is only when I have guests I want to impress.

If I’m alone, I simply pass out in the vomit.

Your location is “Chicago-ish.” Which means you have access to the greatest pizzaria pizza in the USA, after Brooklyn and New Haven. Call the local guy. Have him bring you a nice fresh pizza.

To each his own, but after reading this thread I still would never buy a frozen pizza.
