- Weird History Food is taking frozen pizzas out of the freezer and into the storytelling oven to talk about everyone's favorite go to cheesy snack. Thanks to some innovations, frozen pizzas have become a staple in just about everyone's freezer. But how did this happen? Prebake your oven with your Tony's or Tombstone pizza and get ready to eat some hot-n-now pizza history.

What is your favorite frozen pizza?
Spinach pizza is mine :)
Meat lovers stuff crust.
I like Freschetta. They used to have a sauce stuffed crust that was amazing. It was like a bread stick you didn’t have to dip. That was the ultimate frozen pizza.
Every time you heat a frozen pizza, 3 italian grandmas die. Just saying.
Ooo so many- Jack’s is one i grew up with. culinary circle is a new one. But sadly frozen pizza isnt really a market here in China. Cant wait to get home and enjoy my favorite foods 😂
For those wondering, fake cheese is mostly vegetable oil with the extracted protein from milk that causes it to become real cheese, Casein, added to it. it's in basically everything cheese-related and basically all fast food.
So it's ALMOST cheese?
@@xalienshex it's basically cheese extract stretched out with oil to put it in the worst dry terms. the old name for cheese making is Caseiculture, and this protein is a majority of what real cheese is made of structurally with the milk fats taking the place of the oil in the fake cheese. the type of oil very much mattters for health but not so much for consistency so it can be close to real cheese or just absolutely awful depending on what the oil was from.
Hmm
That's what killed the off the old Celeste childhood favorite, after Quaker dropped the product.
damn
A video about the pumpkin spice craze would be interesting. How did we get to the point where it's in everything from breakfast cereal to macaroni & cheese?
Eww why would you ruin mac n' cheese with pumpkin spice?
Tl:Dr Imperialism
Ugh. Pumpkin Spice is nasty not to mention in mac and cheese. I agree with redrosesept22
I saw some Pumpkin spice ravioli at the grocery store yesterday
The messed-up, brutally violent history of nutmeg alone is worth a whole video
Oh man, Red Baron was the favorite in my house. DiGiorno was also a staple of our frozen pizza selection. Pizza is my overall favorite food and I am 100% down with frozen pizza. I think Red Baron does it best but I also love Jack’s. I know it’s cheap, food-like stuff but I can’t deny its charm.
jacks is total shit now
Red Baron is death to the stomach the next day.
Jack’s is the go-too pizza for my family.

This brings back nostalgia memories. Having lived in the Midwest, Tombstone was the brand I remember. The amount of Tombstone frozen pizza I consumed when in was in high school back in the early 1990's is probably pretty scary.
Tombstone is the best frozen pizza out of the major brands. All of the other ones have so much sugar in the sauce and dough that it tastes like ketchup. The best part is that they are cheap too.
I loved Tombstone and then after awhile I didn't. I always looked forward to October too when they celebrated Halloween by changing the front of the package. I don't buy many now. There are better ones to me and it seems something changed or maybe just my perception of good pizza after others came out.
@@rubiconnn I like a few others better. Palermos is good and Screamin Sicilian thin crust is the best to me. It's $10 a pizza though.
I'm too cheap to pay that much for frozen pizza lol. Newman's Own is pretty good too though.
I always made sure we had those mini tombstones you could microwave. Soooooo good!
DiGiorno's may have been "pretty good" at some point, but every time I've had it in recent years it's been disappointing, even compared to other frozen pizzas. So many other brands have stepped up their game, while DiGiorno's has continued to rely on looking really good while tasting mediocre.
Well it is basically just a big lump of bread.
I love shitty pizza but Digiorno is just god awful
I agree. I don't like digiorno. I used to like freshettas, but they don't sell it near me anymore (roch NY). Ive been buying Stouffer's french bread pizza....which works out because I live alone
First time i hear people talking crap about Digornos i still enjoy it espically the pam version.
It's also double the price of other brands

This was soo interesting, never knew Totino's was a top selling frozen people at one point. Love the weird history food channel!
Lies again? Hand UFC Title
They were. My mom's family knew the Totinos. When they started making frozen pizzas, they were asking the people they knew to invest in the idea. My mom's parents turned down the opportunity and regetted it shortly after.
Totinos was great in the 80-90 s
It's not digestible, it's DiGiorno.
That's what my stomach thinks of it. Never again!
really!?
I thought it was cardboard
😂😂😂
Taste like perfume
Man this is sad. Digiorno taste fine if you're not a posh cunt that has your own chef.. I'm kinda disappointed in people on this one

Is that dialogue from the 1990 film or the 2012 TV show?
And yes. Frozen Pizza is still perfectly eatable.
@@NebLleb From the first movie in the 90s.
We have a new contender in Germany since a few years who is turning the frozen pizza market quite a lot. They use high quality natural ingredients and as little chemistry as possible which results in a really good almost restaurant level pizza. Its quite expensive (double the usual) but works really well
Dr oetker pizzas are best where i live though a bit expensive, cheapest 350g pizzas are almost 4 eur and it goes up to 7 eur 550g
I miss living in Germany
Gustavo Gusto? They taste amazing.
Also another contender thats more underground and niche would be vegan pizza box. They are so good
I live in Germany and have not found a good frozen pizza here. I think that some of the additives used in American frozen pizzas are maybe not permitted. I think those additives are the ones that allow American frozen pizzas to taste the way they do. I have to imagine the science behind frozen pizzas - getting frozen dough, cheese, sauce, and toppings to come out properly at the same time, while having a long frozen shelf-life - is pretty amazing.
Through some kids at school (80s) I heard about homemade English muffin pizzas. I told mom and she would cook the ground beef, chop vegetables, and spice up canned tomato sauce with dry oregano and basil. We would then take mozzarella string cheese and shred it with our (clean hands). They were fun to assemble and mom would pop them in the oven. We even prepped some and froze them ahead of time once we were able to use the oven. We discovered they weren’t half as good frozen, though. Fresh ingredients take longer but are definitely worth it if you have the time.
English Muffin breakfast pizzas were the first thing we cooked in home economics class. Suddenly, all the boys loved Home Ec!

Red Baron made good deep dish breakfast pizzas, but they're hard to find now. Haven't had one in many years but I still remember how delicious they were. White gravy, scrambled eggs, cheddar & mozzarella, and sausage crumbles. I think more manufacturers should make breakfast pizzas.
711 still makes breakfast pizza, but they're...not great
I remember those! They were GREAT. Didn't realize I missed them until now!
Ooh that does sound yummy, now I want to try one :(
Sadly they’re discontinued
@@kellywilliams4330 red Baron still makes pizza? Here in new Jersey we have them in our stores. Good ol deep dish pizza
MAN, frozen pizza is a weekly thing for me in my house. My parents always go out and get me a frozen pizza whether it be a red barons, or even non name brand frozen pizza (which is actually really good) I can never get enough of frozen pizza
I love em they so tasty
Growing up with a Dad that was a Schwan's man, we had lots of their pizza. Later, when he didn't work for them, we always had Red Baron because they were made at the same plants. I still really enjoy Red Baron pizza as an adult.
One of my favorite travel memories was when we went to Italy the first time. We were in Venice and saw a grocery store. We thought it would be fun to see what an Italian grocery store was like. To our surprise we saw frozen pizzas in the frozen food section.
A lot of food in Italian supermarkets is super westernized. It’s been that way for quite awhile though.
Regardless, I still enjoyed Italy more than any other country I’ve been to.
Why were you surprised to see frozen pizza in a supermarket? Nobhead.
@@_Super_Hans_ Why do you have to call me an ugly name?
@@_Super_Hans_ Since you're too ashamed to say, "I'm sorry"... This is what surprised me: In 1987 when my wife and I were in Italy, frozen pizza was pretty bland. Our expectation was that in the land where pizza was invented and because all of the food we experienced was outstanding, we thought that the average Italian would have a lot of options for an excellent pizza when they felt like a pizza.
Fast forward to this year -- Dominos in Italy folded its tent. That aligns with what we thought 35 years ago -- why would Italians buy substandard pizzas when undoubtedly there are many options for excellent pizza, even a quick pizza.
If that's the logic of a "nobhead", then I plead guilty. I don't think my comment -- or anyone's sincere comment -- deserves being called "nobhead". My guess is that if you and I met each other by chance and this topic came up and I made this comment, I sincerely doubt you would have called me a "nobhead" to my face. The anonymity of the Internet should not be an excuse for rudeness.
What do you say?
@@emmgeevideo No one is reading all that you nobhead.
I had to have the roof of my mouth amputated thanks to Stouffer's French bread pizzas.
I remember it as a kid those pizza's scratching the roof of my mouth too. Horrible feeling the next morning.
lol what
As someone who has eaten a frightening amount of frozen pizza over the years:
SS - Home Run Kitchen (best frozen pizza on the market)
S - DiGiorno Rising Crust
A - Tombstone
B - Red Baron
C - Totino's and Cali Pizza Kitchen
F - Freschetta (i'd rather eat tomato paste on white bread)
I STRONGLY agree with you on Freschetta. Fucking horrible garbage.
This video is very nostalgic . I am 100 years old from newyork and, I remember the first frozen pizzas . They were a live safer at the time .
I love spreading disinformation on the internet
Lol you are not 100 years old on youtube
The mixture of the narrator and the writing is spot for me. One of my favorite series to listen to. What else does the narrator do?
Isn’t this Stephen Colbert ?
@@RevoIverOceIot IT didn't sound like him to me so I looked it up. His name is Tom Blank, at least according to the internet, which is never wrong as you know.
You forgot the large number of American Soilders who fought in Italy during WW 2. They encountered pizza in Sicily and Southern Italy. Thus making pizza known outside of the Italian American community.
Nothing beats fresh professionally made pizza from a take out store . 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
Well yeah...but that's not the point of the video. Though most of those professional pizzerias also have take and bake frozen pizzas they make and freeze. A bit more expensive, but damn tasty
My friend used to cook two of those tostinos pizzas and then sandwich a bunch of chicken nuggets between the two pizzas.
Wow, I hope "used to" meant that they outgrew the practice, and not that their practice led to an early demise
I prefer cold to hot Pizza. It tastes less greasy to me anyway..
Red Baron Original Crust Pepperoni Pizza is the single greatest food ever. I have eaten every type of frozen pizza I could find in all grocery stores in the lower 48 states. The amount of cheese is perfect. The sauce has the just the right amount of spiciness and the window of opportunity between undercooked and burned is great.
Hear me out. Chuck E. Cheese has a frozen pizza that is probably one of the best pizzas ever. Try it
My fave frozen pizza is from Aldi and had goats cheese, spinach, onions and garlic sauce. And mozzarella cheese of course
Thank you for recognizing my Uncle Bob for the French bread pizza, although his last name is pronounced “peTrillus”, not “Petril-ose”.
And our family likes Freshetta pizzas the best for frozen!
I ate a truckload of those Stouffer's French bread pizzas back in the day. They were delicious! I've not found a really good frozen pie since.
Bless your Uncle for bringing this to us
We were a Tombstone family even though they shredded the f**k outta our mouths. And I still love this little Torino’s pizzas for an occasional Saturday night movie binge.
Tombstones my favorite as well. They were smart imo and we’re one of the few who didn’t try to be delivery style frozen pizza.
Again... why tf are ppl so sensitive to food?
Shredded your mouth? Do you not have teeth? I never had a problem eating Tombstone pizza. Totino's pizza is good if you been drinking.
@@SnarkyRC I think I know what the issue was and why that happened. Their oven either must’ve cooked it in a weird way and it became more hardened than it should and on top of that, things that get freezer burned easily like pizzas don’t cook ve egg well to begin with and makes the bread hard and dry.
Grew up on 3 minute microwave pizzas... Can't eat them to this day, or hotdogs...
Hot dogs are amazing, they just need to be cooked right. On a hot griddle or grill or even a campfire. No microwave or boiling.
@@Savannah_Simpson there were a couple years where hotdogs were part of EVERY meal my family ate. The smell, cooked, raw, whatever just makes me sick. Not hating on your hotdog love :)
I can't eat microwaved hotdogs with American cheese on them to this day 🌭👀
Thank you to all the hard workers that brought pizzas to the hungry masses.
I recently tried a Stouffer's French Bread Pizza as it had the classic 80's label on it. It certainly did not taste as good as it did in the 80's. Not a surprise as most everything from that era tastes different nowadays. However, the Red Baron French Bread Pizza is really good especially the four cheese version.
Red baron is my shit
The thing is, how do we really know if the product has changed or if our taste buds have changed overtime!

Tombstone is still my go-to for frozen pizza.
Tombstone pizza got me through college. They’d be 3/$10 at the store and I ate a whole one for dinner probably 2-3 times a week.
no cap 😭😭
They don’t have those anymore
@@makisekurisu8594i have like 5 in my freezer rn
Theyre like $4.60 at walmart. In this day and age its a great price and still a great pizza
I can't leave Walmart without at least three Tombstone Pizzas
Man, this is something. I've had frozen pizza for a long time. Digiorno, Home Run Inn, Reggio's, Tony's, Tombstone, Red Baron, Totiono's, Hot Pockets. I've had many of the brands.
Your life is so interesting. Talk about it some more.
Which is the best?
@@MrCrashBandicoot25 that's a tough one to choose.
Home run inn is very good but it will cost you
Man I love red baron
Bagel Bites and Pizza rolls were so much of my childhood in the late 90's and early 00's that i'm pretty sure 7% of my DNA is made entirely out of pizza.
the fact that frozen pizzas only contain 12% real cheese explains so much about frozen pizza
I think that is just the minimum they said during the discussion. I don't read the labels anymore, but the better brands all used 100% cheese as of maybe 10-15 years ago. .
As a child of the 80's this brought back a ton of memories.
Great segment! Would love to see your take on history of the highway dinner.
I literally just used 14 minutes of my life to watch history of frozen pizza. What am I doing with my life lol
😂
Same mate👀😂🥴
🤦🏾♂️🤣🫠
I can only theorize on how to improve on frozen pizza, since I am not a chef, but find cooking fascinating. First I would change the dough to puff pastry for a crunchier texture. I would also mix a little bit of balsamic vinegar into the tomato sauce, its slightly sweet and acidic nature countering the oxidation of the tomato sauce, hopefully preventing the aftertaste found on canned or frozen ones. Lastly, I would place the toppings under the cheese and below a layer of duxelles. The idea is similar to that of a beef wellington, in which a humidity barrier prevents the dish from becoming dehydrated in the oven, as well as slightly mitigating the effect of freezer burn.
Screamin’ Sicilian is very underrated, and is my favorite frozen pizza by far. Plus, you get a FREE MUSTACHE on every box!
the top strip that you tear off a Hot Pockets sleeve is my bird's favorite toy
Red Baron with the thicc crust is pretty good. I keep one in the freezer when I want to get something in a pinch. Cheaper than delivery and a lot faster than homemade.
I’d like to hear about poorly marketed foods like when Gerber tried marketing jarred meals for adults
As a college student taking 5 class & who also works weekends, having a few pizzas in the freezer for a fallback dinner if I get caught up studying is life saving. I literally use frozen pizza for emergency dinner lmao
A good frozen pizza you could get in the NY/NJ area in the old days was from Celentano, which was more in the thick crust, square Sicilian style. Also, the original Ellio's, when owned by the original company before Beatrice bought it, was good. They actually hand flattened the dough and topped by hand, which is why it had a crust, instead of using machine pressed dough.
I think every jersey kid grew up on Ellios!
I would love to see the history of baby food
Some of it's really scary!!! They use to add a boatload of sugars to baby food. Mom's would taste the food before they'd give it to their baby. So baby food makers wouldn't give a rats behind about healthy and just make it tasty for mom....
The history of baby food and baby formula is like a corporate vietnam war
It begins with mammals and mammary glands.
I hear it started small. 🙂
It all started when I chewed up food, spit it up into jars, and sold it for a nickel a piece back in 1905.
The Kirkland store brand from Costco is my favorite. Made in a convection oven, it is fairly close in flavor and texture to the New York pizza I grew up with.
Their "take and bake" pizzas are pretty good too.
Since you do the Timeline videos on the main channel it would be fun to have a video about the culinary trends of the different decades on here.
If you mention Bagel Bites and Hot Pockets then how do you not mention Pizza Rolls in this thing?
There! Someone said it!
🤦
guess you missed the multiple minutes long "totinos" section lmao
@@Brandon-bc5um From 4:49 to 5:41 in the video, Totinos is discussed. The beginning of the Totinos segment shows a box of Pizza Rolls but makes no mention of them. You would think the video would have added in pizza rolls under the 1980's and later pizza inventions considering pizza rolls account for up to 25 percent of the appetizer market.
I love my grocery store's frozen pizza. There is nothing artificial or weird in it and it's so yummy.
What brand?
I think he means the store's own brand, we have them too although they're more refrigerated and fresh than frozen.
Probably some local brand by the looks of things
Ralph’s in California is disgusting

Not even frozen😕
Hy-Vee has a good in house pizza
That Bagel Bites jingle fucking chokeslammed me. Nostalgia like a freight train.
Can't believe this video doesn't mention Wolfgang Puck getting into the frozen pizza game after he asked why Johnny Carson kept buying so many of his fresh cooked gourmet pizzas at once, and Carson told him he would freeze them and defrost them throughout the week to eat.
You can Make a whole vid on wolfGang
Love pizza!
I'd love to see a segment on Frozen dinners, like Hungry Man!
Being Canadian, all i can remember was McCains pizza. Growning up and on a cold Saturday night it was a real treat since Mom and Dad were going out for the night and we didnt care as long as we had McCains in the oven. Basic pizza, pepperoni with green peppers and alot of cheese, they were to die for. then some bureaucratic idiot pushed the idea that trans fat was a bad thing and pretty soon the taste and quality dropped right off the table only to be scooped up by the 4 legged floor cleaner.
Great video, the section about the USDA was particularly interesting. I'm a big proponent of frozen pizza, DiGiorno is definitely one of my go to brands, but there's a store brand marmalade and cheese one that's become my favorite.
Still eat them from time to time🤟🏼🍕
I still enjoy the occasional frozen pizza
Since the Weird History Foods videos on the history of pizza in general and Chef Boyardee in particular, I've taken to assembling my own pizzas as home. Premade crusts, sauce, cheese, and pepperoni can be thrown together in only a couple minutes, less time than it takes for an oven to fully preheat, and has led to more enjoyable pies that are still cheaper than most of the frozen kinds. And, like frozen but unlike delivery, I don't have to restrict my 'za enjoyment to normal restaurant hours. Mmm, hot crispy goodness at 3am.
I used to eat frozen pizza every now and then but once I got diagnosed with celiacs last year frozen pizza has always been in my fridge. Fills me up nicely and adding my own stuff to it makes it even better. I don’t know where I’d be without it tbh
I actually don't like digiornio pizza all that much. It's too doughy. Give me something like a Tony's or tombstone and crisp it up until until the cheese starts to crisp and blacken a little bit 🤤
tastes like yeast
Something I like to do is about a couple minutes before the cooking time ends is to turn on the broiler and let it brown the cheese and curl the pepperoni a bit.
Same here, DiGiorno's is meh, but love the thinner frozen crusts!
Fun Fact: It turns black because it's NOT real cheese.
I love Digornos espically the pan verision
the secret to a really tasty frozen pizza is high heat! crank your oven and cut the time on the label. the hotter, shorter baking time will leave the dough tender and perfect as opposed to the overly chewy texture with a hard bottom that some frozen pizzas are prone to
I think they turn out better if you thaw them before you cook them as well as doing them as hot as the oven will go.
I use a stone, crank the heat to 500 for 30 minutes then cook pizza according to directions. Even the crappiest frozen pizza (jacks) will come out decent.
Of course once you learn to make pizza from scratch frozen pizza becomes a rarity
Wrong
@@starmc26 the mouth feel doesn’t lie
I like Amy's frozen pizzas.. especially the no cheese one and the margherita one.. albeit expensive, but good.
Oh man do I love pizza lol. When I was younger I remember eating those crispy Totino's party pizzas, I'd dip the pieces in taco bell mild sauce. Frozen pizza isn't my first choice, but I'll definitely eat it. The Digiorno pan pizza is actually really good.
My grandfather is the pizza nut in our family, he once ate pizza for almost every meal for 2 weeks. He usually has between 8-12 pizzas in his freezer. I really shouldn't complain because that's how I am for Mexican food. I could eat tacos for every meal
@@hellhound1389 I love Mexican food too lol. When I was pregnant with my first son 20 years ago we had a Mexican restaurant that we went to at least three times a week lol. After I had the baby we brought him in to show everyone that worked there because at that point we knew everyone.
I'm surprised y'all didn't mention Frechetta frozen pizza. That and DiGiorno frozen pizza are my two favorites!
If it has to be cheap, then Red Baron has my pick for the best budget friendly frozen pizza, along with Totino's Party Pizzas.
@@kingsofthegridiron lol
Best frozen pizza I've probably had was actually a '5 cheese bread' by the Motor City Pizza Co. brand. They're on the greasy side but the crust gets surprisingly crispy for a non-metallic pan. Not really pizza but it's adjacent
Just found this channel, I love it
I'm not about that health conscious pizza alternatives, but I will say that cauliflower crust is fucking delicious!!!
Exactly I'm not Vegan but Some vegan stuff is good
@@NR-gp2il I agree completely. I love watching Sauce Stache, and Thee Burger Dude. I even bought burger dudes book. I love meat, cheese and all that, but I love some vegan stuff too. Good food is good food.
Growing up in the early 1970's the weekly grocery store trip would provide a Mr. P's or Jeno's frozen pizza as a treat for me and my brother. Other higher grade frozen pizzas were not available at that time here in the Charlotte NC region. My guess is this love of those cheap frozen pizzas by baby boomers was the real foundation of the massive pizza industry we now enjoy.
Home run inn! Best frozen pizza.
There are more options for frozen pizza than I thought, like hot pockets, pizza rolls, bagel bites, and then of course a normal frozen pizza
Do a timelines for food, Weird History. Please.
Im eating red baron peporoni pizza while watching weird historu.the history of the frozen pizza.word up son
Wow! Thanks for the memories. As a late Baby Boomer I remember all of these brands. We never had a microwave when I was growing up, so, yeah, we had to wait about 20 to 25 minutes for an oven-baked pizza. On special occasions, my parents would let me and my brother have some Ripple wine with our pizza. We felt sooo grown up! Ahh, the good life.Thanks again!
Best documentary I ever seen about the food 🎉 well done !!
Frozen pizza 🍕 is an cheaper option then ordering pizza 🍕. 😀👍
There’s this microwave pizza called Mama Rosa’s that I can only find at Krogers that I adore. The cheese and pepperoni are great and the crust is always soft and chewy, even when you bake them
I'm always up for trying new pizzas but the moment you said krogers I went no thanks. I won't go to that accursed place unless it's to watch it burn to the ground
Soft and chewy, yum yum! And if you don't want to eat it you can wipe the table with it.
I’ve been thinking about Mama Rosa’s microwave pizza for years. Heard they’re discontinued. Does your store still have them?
Tombstone and Tony's are what I grew up with! My mom would get Red Barons when they went on sale. Maaaan those French bread pizza's and Bagel Bites are Amazing. Also when Papa Murphys when they were around they were Awesome!
"That's a lot of dough" best pun of the episode.
History of lasagna day #32 of asking
My favorite is discontinued, unfortunately. I love deep dish tombstone mini pizza. I've tried all the others but that one was the best. They came in a package of 6 in 3 different flavors.
My favorite was Tombstones Brick Oven pizza, also discontinued :(
In the plastic bag, the minis?
What they don't sell them anymore?!
Whoever came up with the begal bits song is a marketing genius. I still have that song stuck in my head after all these years. That and puff the magic dragon, lived by the sea.
Just found this channel. It's great.
A video about mini tacos would be cool! Just had some out of the air fryer and it is amazing that they taste so good lmao
I love pizza, period! But in the frozen game I actually enjoyed what Freschetta put out there in wonderful taste and consistency!
This narrator always gets a couple lols out of me. Great quips.
Very interesting video! There are so many frozen pizzas it is crazy to pick just one! I have tried all direct ones bout Red Baron and Dijorno are my favorites! Cheese flavor, Supreme flavor, Sausage flavor are the ones I pick! ❤️🍕
I tried pizza with cauliflower crust once and it was actually pretty good.
Jeno’s was (in my opinion) the best frozen pizza yet somehow no one remembers it. Also either Totino’s or Bagel Bites once made small circular pizza pockets called “Blasts” which I can’t find any info on but they were equally amazing (early 2000’s)
Dude I came to the comments hoping someone else remembered jeno’s! They were just the right size and the crust was so crispy
I remember Jeno's. I lived off of those in college. I still grab 1 or 2 every now and again.
Jeno's apparently got dissolved into Totino's in the early 90s or so
The last time I saw jenos was at a run down mom and pop convenience store just off the interstate in Indiana
why you talking about it like its in the past lol. jenos is still around. Its pretty much just a totinos with maybe the slightest bit different taste
I've always added to my "frozen pizza" base, I add/drizzle olive oil to the crust, sprinkle Italian seasoning and real mozzarella cheese then toss it in the oven, Red Baron is pretty good for that.
As a kid growing up in the 80s... I can't believe you didn't even mention my beloved McCain frozen mini pizzas
Totinos pizzas are the best 😈😂
Jack's! It has a thin and crispy crust. But it's so hard to find here that I have turned to using tortillas with sauce I make and freeze in dollops the right size for a pizza, Monterey jack cheese (more flavor than mozzarella) and pepperoni (or whatever). Bake about 6 minutes and enjoy!
What you don't realize is you actually make jacks pizza. The crust is basically an oversized tortilla topped with pasta sauce and a white cheese blend
@@hellhound1389 But I do realize that. That's why I do it! Desperation is the mother of invention.
Frozen pizza can be good, especially if you're willing to pay more for the more expensive brands, but even a cheap Totino's or Tony's pizza can be spruced up with extra cheese and toppings. But pizza rolls are the go-to snack when I just want a taste of pizza without going the full-blown pizza route.
What a riveting video, great work
I think I'm comprised mostly of frozen pizza and ennui.
