Frozen Pizza--what's good?

Question

So many frozen pizzas just don't cut it. Are there any that are reliably good? Sometimes Amy's taste ok to me. Puck's, at least the Woodfire ones, seem to have improved (had a Vegetable Primavera the other night that was good), but there's generally been a soggy factor to his in my experience. With California Pizza Kitchen's, there seems to be a high salt factor in the flavoring. Looking for alternatives.

Answer

I like Digiorno - but it is not a thin crust pizza if that's what you're looking for.

Answer

This probably won't do you any good -- yet. But for anyone reading along who has access to this market, American Flatbread makes absolutely the best frozen pizza, but it's only available in grocery stores in Vermont, or maybe New England. Link below to an article that'll make you drool with envy.

Answer

American Flatbread is great! I've found it at Whole Foods in CT and NYC so it's probably available at other sorta-gourmet groceries.

Answer

Trader Joe's has a decent, thin crust, 4 cheese pizza. Made in Italy (!) and baked in a wood-fired oven. And it's only about three-and-a-half bucks.

Answer

I second the Trader Joes. It is the best!!!! 
It is so good on it's own but I like to doctor it up w/ some chopped tomato, garlic, prosciutto, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, more cheese.......
YUM!!!!!!!!

Answer

If you're at all interested in cooking, you might try freezing some of your homemade creations. I have a 14-year old who, oddly enough, loves pizza and WILL eat just about anything set in front of him. But even he prefers my homemade versions if given the choice. Every once in a while I double my dough recipe, make 6 10" pies and bake them just enough to begin to cook the crust. Freeze them--yeah, they do take up space--and he/we have pretty decent meals when we're in a pinch.

Answer

If you have a Whole Foods near you, their 365 brand pizza is pretty good. I like the spinach and feta pizza. And they are fairly low in fat and calories.

Answer

Connies, which can be purchased at Whole Foods, at least here in MN.
 
Connies is actually in Chicago. Someday when I travel to Chicago, I'll seek out the real thing.
 
But the frozen pizza is the very best I've had. Here's the link below.
 
Wolfgang Puck used to be my favorite about 10 years ago. But the quality has gone down through the years. Anyone else notice this?

Answer

as a few others have said-trader joe's-made in italy.

Answer

I buy the plain cheese flavor of one of the rising crust pizzas, like Di Giorno or Freschetta (whatever's on sale), and add my own toppings-- sliced onion, roasted garlic, calamata olives, freshly ground pepper, etc.
 
The result is far better, IMHO, than any of the more elaborate frozen pizzas I've tried, though Trader Joe's makes some half way decent ones.

Answer

In Texas or Mexico, try HEB's spinach and feta and add some of your own red onions.
 
This is a great pizza.
