If I were a pollster and had lots of time on my hands, I would try to find out what frozen pizza ranks highest among those of us too lazy to make a pie from scratch.
I love pizza. Homemade, take out, delivery, it really doesn't matter. Even a frozen pizza is wonderful. Of course, some are better than others. Here are my favorites.
Totino's Party Pizza: Good and cheap, these suckers will fill you up nicely. There's not much to them; in fact, if you're looking for a great crust or lots of toppings, don't bother. But if you're looking for great, bad-for-you taste, bother and then bother again. Recommended flavor: Mexican, Canadian bacon. Cooking tip: Cook longer than the recommended time. Overall grade: B
Jack's: When searching for the perfect Jack's pizza, make sure you buy the "rising crust" version; there's an "original" that isn't much good. Jack's does their pizza right with a great crust and tasty toppings. It's a bit saucy and the slices can get a bit flimsy, particularly when not cooked long enough, but if you buy the right kind the flavors are outstanding. Recommended flavor: Three meat, bacon cheeseburger. Cooking tip: Let the pizza sit in a turned-off oven for at least 5 minutes after cooking and then for another few minutes after you take it out of the oven. Then slice. This will help firm it up. Overall grade: A-
Tombstone: In my book this is the frozen pizza to have. Perfect thickness. Perfect sauce-to-toppings ratio. Outstanding flavor. Great flavors. When scanning the frozen foods section looking for a pizza, I always come back to this one. Recommended flavor: Hamburger. Cooking tip: Top with extra cheese. Lots of it.

You have given a lot of thought to your frozen pizza. Anna and I keep one or two in the deep freeze just in case both of us get a severe case of the lazies. I will use your reviews the next time I stock up the freezer.
It is too bad that we didn't make pizza while you were in Kentucky. I have some Pizza Hut deep dish pans and over the years Anna and I have gotten pretty serious about our pizza making. Currently, our "typical" pizza is a deep dish pie with pepporoni, hamburger, bacon, carmalized onions and to top it off, we crack an egg in the very center. By the time you take it out of the oven, the egg is cooked but still a little runny giving the pizza a very unique taste. We usually end up dipping our crusts in the runny goo instead of using a tomato sauce. Damn this is making me hungry.
mmmm.... totino's party pizza's... grlalalallalla
by the way, I like that roy said, "just in case both of us get a severe case of the lazies" like it's rare or something. yup. that's us. motivation city.
You know my favorite are those totinos's party pizzas. I can down one of those fairly quickly. Somehow I never let it "set" long enough to cool down and I almost always burn the roof of my mouth!
