With inflation and how expensive actual pizzas are now, I have been trying more frozen pizzas and throwing my own toppings on. This video is very helpful.
Sane thing here. The red baron was not very highly rated here, but their brick oven pizzas are fantastic imo. Fresh basil really makes it come together
"I think a lot of these pizzas are made in the same factory" funny story... I have a close friend who worked in a frozen pizza factory in the LA area a few years ago... there were 8 or 10 unrelated brands they made there including several in this video.
Standardized Italian is a relatively recent invention. When the ancestors of today's Italian Americans were immigrating to the US, they brought with them their regional dialects which may be partly why Italian Americans say it differently than Italians do in Italy today.
They cooked it on a baking pan and not put on the oven rack. And they're supposed to be chefs. How do you do that. They can't even cook a frozen pizza lol
I don’t eat frozen pizza so I was really impressed by how the chefs knew the brand in a blind taste test. I really enjoy these blind taste test videos. I am going to have a new appreciation for the next pizza that I order to go.
It's a dialectal pronunciation that was used by Southern Italian immigrants in the early 20th century, not standard modern Italian. Those are the people who introduced Italian food to the East Coast of the US, and their descendants still refer to their dishes/ingredients using the dialect of their great-grandparents.
It's entirely possible that she could actually have the more historically accurate pronunciation. As is sometimes the case in English, with some regional American dialects and pronunciations actually being more true to the that of their original British ancestors.
Same here. I loved me some Party Pizzas when I was a kid and still occasionally have one now! Heck I remember when they where still round! It crushed me that they hated it but I get it. It's more like school cafeteria sheet pan "square" pizza but I still love it.
Yeah, I am the same. I like the 4 cheese and pepperoni brick over style pizzas. Dump some garlic on the 4 cheese and you got a fairly decent garlic bread.
For the first ten years of my school life, growing up in a poor po-dunk town, I thought pizza always came in rectangle shapes -- because that was how my school served it.
It always makes me laugh how Whole Foods products always get about the worst ratings. I worked at Whole Foods for a while and I get it. It’s a terrible place and everything is horribly overpriced for what it is. I just don’t get it.

Kinda wish Freschetta was part of the video, hands down the best frozen pizza brand. The only one that I actually will buy out of craving and not convenience lol
Walmart recently created its own natural/organic brand called 'BetterGood,' and their pizzas are AMAZING, especially the Prosciutto and Arugula! It comes with a separate balsamic glaze and prosciutto, both of which you apply to the pizza after you bake it. Between that and Table 87, they're the best frozen pizza I've ever had, and it's a hundred times better than the Great Value brand.
I'd had the frozen stuff several times before finally eating it fresh. There's a big difference in quality, especially the richness of the sauce, but I'd still buy another frozen.
I've seen a few other reviews of a collection of frozen pizzas and it consistently is the winner by a large margin. Any fans of Matt Mitchell know it was the only one he called pizza at the end of his reviewing.
Every so often, after having watched the first one, I search for "Pro Chefs Blind Taste Test Frozen Chicken Nuggets," to sadly find that this video doesn't exist yet. :(
As someone who lives near the Table 87 in brooklyn and frequents it - I'm so glad they knocked it out of the park!! Never had their frozen pizza but their fresh pizzas are super tasty.
i had jacks pizza a lot in college. sometimes totinos or red barron. my mom liked the red barron 4 cheese. totinos wasnt too bad. but yeah was in a box. i aint had it in a bag
The best frozen pizza I've ever had is one called "Motor City". It's deep dish, buttery flaky crust, generous toppings, and not really more expensive than the competition. I've tried all the big brands and they don't compare. If you like deep dish pizza I highly recommend it.
@Andrew-it7fb It's fine if you prefer thin, flaccid, floppy New York style. People like what they like. Trying to say deep dish is not pizza is like saying a ham and cheese sandwich isnt a ham and cheese sandwich if you put it on a larger piece of bread. Everybody is entitled to an opinion no matter how foolish their opinion makes them sound though.
@acidwizard6528 It's terrible, but it's fine if you perfer tomato soup over a loaf of bread. There's a reason most people prefer new york pizza. It's just better.
Another video should be the same list of pizzas only you DON'T follow the instructions and instead cook them longer, so that they're, ya know, actually cooked. The instructions only gets you to "defrosted and warm."
THANK YOU! This is an argument I have had with friends for years. I tell them, why heat up the house with the oven when you can just stick it the microwave.
I've basically tried every frozen pizza in every major grocery store and the clear winner was the McCain Stuffed Crust pizza. The crust is almost identical to pizzeria crust, the sauce is awesome and they don't skimp on the toppings.
Uno's frozen Cheese Pizza is actually the best I've ever had. I can't not eat the whole thing. The crust is like a pot pie, real cheese, the perfect sauce. I don't care if they think deep dish isn't pizza, that one is amazing.
I think most packages say that cooking times vary so those pizzas probably needed a bit more. But you guys could even do a part 2! Jacks, Orv’s, palermos and urban pie come to mind!
Newman's is pretty decent for the price here. I will look for Table 87 to try it and also Unos. Also get a thick baking sheet and let it heat with the oven. It helps a lot. Also the micro broil at the end.
The grocery stores by me will have some of the newman dressings, but no ranch or frozen food. Shame since the ranch is one of the best packaged I've found, I'd love to try the pizza.
Cooking videos are my roommate’s forte but I couldn’t resist the subject when it was suggested on my feed. I enjoyed this video thoroughly! I am impressed how the chefs were able to parse individual flavors. Mr. Coniglio’s ability to name the brands is astounding! Kudos all around!

😆
Hahaha
Kinda wish Freschetta was part of the video, hands down the best frozen pizza brand. The only one that I actually will buy out of craving and not convenience lol
absolutely, if im buying a frozen pizza, im getting a freschetta pepperoni rising crust everytime
Came here to say, I don't eat frozen pizzas but the best I ever tried was a Freschetta cheese pizza
Connies is the best
Freschetta rising crust is garbage. They would have eviscerated it.
Was literally going to post this exact comment!
Walmart recently created its own natural/organic brand called 'BetterGood,' and their pizzas are AMAZING, especially the Prosciutto and Arugula!
It comes with a separate balsamic glaze and prosciutto, both of which you apply to the pizza after you bake it. Between that and Table 87, they're the best frozen pizza I've ever had, and it's a hundred times better than the Great Value brand.
I've never had a frozen Uno pizza, but the just made Uno inside their store is the best pizza I've had.
I'd had the frozen stuff several times before finally eating it fresh. There's a big difference in quality, especially the richness of the sauce, but I'd still buy another frozen.
I’m sorry
lol
I love the way the “pizzas” are unceremoniously dumped on the tray with the contempt they deserve
HHAHHAHA
"why does it look like there's french fries on here?!?" lmao
I’ve never heard of _Table 87_ but I’ll definitely be looking out for it!
I wish they’d reviewed Freschetta Pizza. It’s our favorite-surprisingly tasty crust.
1000% is by far the best I've ever had!
Agreed!
It’s one of our favorites, too! ❤
I was thinking the same thing. I absolutely love Freschetta pizza
I've seen a few other reviews of a collection of frozen pizzas and it consistently is the winner by a large margin. Any fans of Matt Mitchell know it was the only one he called pizza at the end of his reviewing.
Every so often, after having watched the first one, I search for "Pro Chefs Blind Taste Test Frozen Chicken Nuggets," to sadly find that this video doesn't exist yet. :(
As someone who lives near the Table 87 in brooklyn and frequents it - I'm so glad they knocked it out of the park!! Never had their frozen pizza but their fresh pizzas are super tasty.
at 11 bucks each, they'd better
If I paid $11.00 for a frozen pizza and they couldn't even be bothered to get the toppings all the way to the edges, I would NOT be happy.
one basil leaf covering about 5% of the surface of the pizza 95% no basil
It looks like a matzo with a teaspoon of pizza on it
The frozen pizza has very little cheese and sauce and one Basil Leaf in the middle. I would not buy it again.
I lived on Totinos during my first 2 years in college. Instantly recogizable. They came in boxes back then.
Well, no place to go but up, so enjoy! 😂
@@kenmore01 True. I make my own dough now, a crazy 24hr cold fermented process. It just took 40 years to get there.🤣
@@pagesculptor😂😂trusted the process
they come in 5 packs or was it 4 packs. anyway they still do come in boxes.
i had jacks pizza a lot in college. sometimes totinos or red barron. my mom liked the red barron 4 cheese. totinos wasnt too bad. but yeah was in a box. i aint had it in a bag
I love these taste tests so much
The best frozen pizza I've ever had is one called "Motor City". It's deep dish, buttery flaky crust, generous toppings, and not really more expensive than the competition. I've tried all the big brands and they don't compare. If you like deep dish pizza I highly recommend it.
Deep dish isn't pizza
@@acidwizard6528 New york pizza is pizza. Deep dish is a casserole.
@Andrew-it7fb It's fine if you prefer thin, flaccid, floppy New York style. People like what they like. Trying to say deep dish is not pizza is like saying a ham and cheese sandwich isnt a ham and cheese sandwich if you put it on a larger piece of bread. Everybody is entitled to an opinion no matter how foolish their opinion makes them sound though.
@acidwizard6528 It's terrible, but it's fine if you perfer tomato soup over a loaf of bread. There's a reason most people prefer new york pizza. It's just better.
That's what I choose.
Another video should be the same list of pizzas only you DON'T follow the instructions and instead cook them longer, so that they're, ya know, actually cooked. The instructions only gets you to "defrosted and warm."
THANK YOU! This is an argument I have had with friends for years. I tell them, why heat up the house with the oven when you can just stick it the microwave.
Don't get it twisted. Guaranteed none of these were actually cooked on the rack. All cooked on sheet pans in commercial convection ovens.
@@thedarkemissary No matter the oven, frozen always needs to be cooked longer than the instructions.
Also every oven is different and instructions clearly say follow the time…..OR until golden brown. Not into pale white.
@@cshubs Hard disagree. I eat Tombstones all the time and the timing is on point. Even in the middle of the recommended time, it's a little too burnt.
I've basically tried every frozen pizza in every major grocery store and the clear winner was the McCain Stuffed Crust pizza. The crust is almost identical to pizzeria crust, the sauce is awesome and they don't skimp on the toppings.
I noticed the baking pan in this video. Every frozen pizza I've ever brought says to cook directly on the oven rack 🧐
You can cook them either on the pan or on the rack. It just changes the cook time
That would explain the doughy bottom
use a pizza stone and let the stone warm up inside as the oven preheats
Not to mention that everything looked undercooked in general.
@@sabrinaebidon1165 no...if you bake it in a cold pan, it WILL NOT cook properly--as is very clear in this video: raw on the bottom, burned on top.
Fantastic video. Very well produced, edited and executed!
Loved the crew that was picked for this video .. great episode !
How could you not have Motor City pizza? Its my favorite frozen pizza by far
I tried it once I was disappointed personally.
Absolutely the best
You have bad taste. Sorry
Objectively the best
Outstanding pizza 🍕 ❤
Basically this video is a Table 87 advertisement. Lol, I've never heard of it and will probably never see it. I'd give it a try if i could.
11 bucks for a frozen pizza? No thanks.
Rule #1 on social media: Trust no one. 99% of accounts who are growing a following are doing so for monetary reasons in one way or another.
Leave my Red Baron and Screamin’ Sicilian alone! 😂
Uno's frozen Cheese Pizza is actually the best I've ever had. I can't not eat the whole thing. The crust is like a pot pie, real cheese, the perfect sauce. I don't care if they think deep dish isn't pizza, that one is amazing.
I think most packages say that cooking times vary so those pizzas probably needed a bit more. But you guys could even do a part 2! Jacks, Orv’s, palermos and urban pie come to mind!
Yep - Jack's and Orv's are both great quality for the price.
I was waiting for Jack's.
Urban Pie crust is so flakey and delicious. If you only want cheese, this one is the best
What they liked: Table 87 Margherita (the best one) ; Pizzeria Uno Deep Dish Cheese; Newman's Own Four Cheese and Amy's Cheese Pizza
Eating Red Baron Sausage & Pepperoni while watching this!
I start with Red Baron French bread pizza 5 cheese then add toppings onions mushrooms whatever you like they come out really nice 👌
The red baron french bread supreme one is pretty decent in a pinch imo
Black hat chef isn't your typical pizza snob, he's a _frozen pizza_ snob, and he knows his stuff. My kind of guy.
Red Barron brick oven pepperoni is my go to...
Newman's is pretty decent for the price here. I will look for Table 87 to try it and also Unos. Also get a thick baking sheet and let it heat with the oven. It helps a lot. Also the micro broil at the end.
The grocery stores by me will have some of the newman dressings, but no ranch or frozen food. Shame since the ranch is one of the best packaged I've found, I'd love to try the pizza.
Used to get Newman's pizza all the time but the local store stopped carrying it 😢
I just recently tried that cauliflower crust pizza, I really liked the chewiness to the crust.
If y'all filmed this in Wisconsin, this video would take about 4 hours with everything available at Woodmans
For real
Love the panel, made watching the video more enjoyable.
"Shut up, Leonard! I found your TH-cam page. What's the point in reviewing frozen pizza?"
"People are talking about it."
Cooking videos are my roommate’s forte but I couldn’t resist the subject when it was suggested on my feed. I enjoyed this video thoroughly! I am impressed how the chefs were able to parse individual flavors. Mr. Coniglio’s ability to name the brands is astounding! Kudos all around!
15:35 I don't know what you did to that pizza, but I've never had a Totino's turn out that badly..
the color is off im guessing it sat outside the freezer and went bad, only explanation for their reactions
“It eats like a scone” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was not ready for that
What have I learned? I've learned that I'm not cooking these pizzas badly, they just suck.
The fact that Wild Mikes wasn’t included is a CRIME. A CRIME.
Who sells it?
I thought the same thing.
The second guy with the hat I'll eat at his restaurant anytime😂😂😂
She really used every available opportunity to say "mootsadel" huh
It's incredibly annoying.
This is how we say it in NYC. I grew up in Brooklyn hearing it pronounced only this way.
@@zedenia It might be how you say it, it's still wrong
@@Ich1GoTgl if you think there are words that you personally say they don't sound wrong or mean completely different things in other regions of the world that speak english, you may have a limited experience in this area
@@Scott-ji2tu The italians bloody invented it, they get to call it whatever they want.
Pro tip: Cook the pizza to whatever time it says on the packaging, then cook it for two more minutes under the broiler. Thank me later.
Hey, Don't knock on our poor man's Totino's pizza!
very enjoyable to watch, thank you.
Try the Red Barron Pepperoni Pizza...IMO it's the absolute best. You can even cut up your own fresh mushrooms to put on it..they cook perfectly!
Seems like they chose a bad Red Barron to test. They didn’t like the four cheese but liked everything else.
I was eating this pizza while watching the video out of curiosity because it’s my favorite frozen pizza 🍕 😅
Those totinos got me through college, don’t hate
Frozen pizza is about cheap indulgence. Never speak ill of Totinos.
I don't understand what went so wrong with their rectangular pizzas though. Totinos pizza rolls are nice junk food. That pizza on the other hand, only pizza I've ever had where I ate a bite or two and stopped to go think about what I'm really having for dinner.
Use to love those! Lol
