I understand that beef is more expensive than pork and that sausage and pepperoni are bigger sellers.
But most brands of frozen pizza had one in hamburger.
Now I can’t find one to save my life. Not at any store I’ve been to. We have a store in Wisconsin called “Woodmans”. They have a frozen pizza section that would knock your socks off. Almost everything under the sun. But no hamburger. And over the past few months I’ve been to multiple Woodmans in addition to multiple Pick n Slaves, Festivals, Sentry, Piggly Wiggle, etc… No frozen hamburger pizza. When I ask the store employees all I get is “What they bring us is what we sell”. WTH?
I don’t know the reason, but it appears to have been discontinued by everyone except Totino’s (it still appears on their website). Couldn’t find an official website for ShurFine.
It’s not just hamburger. I like sausage on my pizza. I do not like pepperoni, but I can see more shelf space being given to pepperoni and less being given to sausage and hamburger. I used to see Canadian bacon pizzas, but they’ve disappeared, except as one ingredient in the meat lovers package.
I’ve had a few bacon cheeseburger pizzas that were an improvement on the hamburger pizzas. Mustard and ketchup flavors were incorporated in the sauce, and the cheese was more like American cheese rather than mozzarella, so it tasted more like an actual burger.
The one I went to a lot was on Milwaukee’s East Side and decidedly ‘down market.’ We didn’t have your name pun talent but Pick 'n Save It For Later was considered clever.
The swanky Metro Market opened around the corner during my time in the neighborhood, quite a contrast.
They’re a manufacturer of private-label grocery products, usually sold at small independent grocery stores. There’s an independent mom-and-pop grocery store in my neighborhood, and they carry a lot of Shurfine stuff.
