- Today we're blind taste testing frozen pepperoni pizzas. We know there are plenty more but we wanted to limit it to just 7. James and I had no idea which brands were being used. We hope you enjoy this frozen pepperoni pizza blind taste test!

These aren't scientific but they're a lot of fun to film. We listened to your feedback from the first frozen pizza test video: th-cam.com/video/4yXAv___4UQ/w-d-xo.html and blinded this test. Tara did her best to buy similar pizzas. We hope you enjoy it and thanks for liking and sharing our videos.
I like "Jack's" cheap little thin Pizza (I think Nestle's Produces) not much Crust, mostly about the Cheese and Sauce, and a Perfect Size for me too tackle by itself, and also the Cheapest in the Store, I just throw it in the Air-Fryer and the Whole Process (because I throw it in before the Oven is fully heated) takes less than 15 Minutes...
Thanks for this taste test. Your son is so honest, as is your wife! 😃
When did you guys change kitchens? Did I miss something?
Drafthaus pizza no box what you see is what you get!
I'm not sure about specific brands, but I have seen some that the pepperoni wasn't just pork.
Hello!! I bought one Frozen Pepperoni Pizza at the Amazon Fresh Grocery Store in Northern Paramus, New Jersey and I liked it, surprisingly!! DiGiorno Rising Crust. 🙂😊
The Motorcity Pizza deep dish pepperoni from Costco is the best frozen pizza of all time. Cook it a little more than the box says to get the bottom nice and crispy. The crust is what makes this one great.
yeah I had a sample of that today, and grandma didn't know what she was doing I think, too soft and without any crunch.
Always always always cook it extra in the oven
I put my oven on convection and also add extra Hormel pepperoni on top and shred some part skim mozza from Costco. Then broil it for a minute at the end to brown the cheese and crisp the pepperoni a bit more before the paper tray starts to burn from the boiling.
Brush the bottom of the included baking pan and the sides of the pizza generously with olive oil (or drizzle if you're nasty) before baking- the crust will get perfectly crisp while the inside will be chewy and nicely done. Sublime!
I've never been in Costco.
Screamin Sicilian is one of the best frozen pizza’s out there hands down. They actually worked very hard to make a really great product for what it is.
I used to like their meatball one. But Motor City is way better.
All frozen pizzas should come with a cardboard cutout mustache on the back of the box!🙃😂
Absolutely disagree. Worst pizza I have ever had, hands down. Freshetta or Digorno are best.
@@NightMagic224 DiGorno, I will never understand what people see in it. Maybe it's the marketing? But it literally tastes like cheap pizza with overly salty cheese and overly sugared sauce.
@@NightMagic224 Digornio is trash, Freschetta or Screamin are so much better
Screamin’ Sicilian is my “go to” for frozen pizza. The sauce is the most flavorful part of a pizza, and it has not only the most, but also the best sauce of any frozen pizza in my opinion. The two big drawbacks to frozen pizza have always been crust like cardboard, and no sauce.
They’re also almost obscenely generous with the pepperoni. ❤
Concur. I will suggest, Jim and Tara, that you test some of the Aldi pizzas.
I have a friend who tried their Stromboli recently and said it’s delicious for frozen. I’ve heard good things about thst companies quality.
@@cumberlandquiltchic1 It's great!!
Same here. I'm not a frozen pizza guy but once I tried the Screamin' Sicilian it's the only one I buy now.
@@Vod-Kaknockers Yup, I’m the same. All other brands are…meh at best.
I've been sampling a lot of different frozen pizzas over the past couple years, and Screamin Sicilian is by far my favorite for the price. Frozen pizzas need their uniqueness, and Screamin does it the best in terms of toppings, sauce and crust IMO. When you can get a fresh take out pizza from the main franchises for under 10 bucks, you better be making a damn good, and unique, frozen pizza if you want to compete with that price point.
It is also my favorite and then I like Tombstone after that.
We should all be so lucky to have a dad like you.
Username checks out
Another great episode! I think Detroit pizza is one of the best frozen ones out there. Nice work!
Motor City is my favorite frozen pizza by far.
I found a new "cheese bread" motor city recently. Haven't tried it yet but looking forward to it.
Both this and Screaming Sicilian
I was buying those all the time. I live in Metro Detroit, 20 min from Detroit. I HARDLY see these things in stores where I'm at. Not sure if they just sell fast or if they no longer are in Kroger/Meijer stores. They are good as HELL.
@@Ryy_Ryy Costco has them when I am at.
One suggestion! It would be cool if the viewer knew what pizzas you were tasting while you guys blind taste test. It'll help us keep track of everything better and be more engaged, personally
Agreed. Like a bourbon testing online
Motor City is my favorite for frozen pizza!! I normally prefer thin and crispy crust but I love the crust on this one 😊
For me, Home Run Inn Uncured Pepperoni is second to none. A little pricey but the sauce, cheese and texture are spot on. The only frozen pizza that doesnt taste frozen. It's my go-to and I've tried almost all of them.
Yeah home run inn is my favorite followed by Connie’s, don’t really buy anything else.
That's my favorite to. I also tried them all
That's really good. Have you had Motor City tho? I think it's better
I love that you and your family are involved . Thank you for all your content
I think what we've established is that James LOVES pizza, lol. I haven't had a frozen pizza in a long time, but now I'm sorely tempted to try a few of these!
You've come far in perfecting the blind taste test. Fun to watch.
Screamin’ Sicilian is my favorite frozen pizza of all time (but maybe I’m biased 🤣). I’m definitely going to have to try the Motorcity pizza. Loving this series from you guys!
It is also my favorite and I have never tried the Motor City either.
I love Screamin Sicilian, but it is definitely pricey. I stock up and buy 6-8 when they are on sale.
Motorcity is AMAZING
I don't care for frozen pie
💯
I really love this "series" you guys are doing. It's fun to see how you rate them AND how different you can be (just like my household!). My next suggestion would be frozen macaroni and cheese.
James power!
Also, I am quite the fan of how Jim is going off on what is likely to be a relentless love-fueled pro Costco goods rant and the video just abruptly ends. Narrator: "Rumor has it, he is still praising Costco to this day". Keep up the good work!
I ❤ Costco, rarely go to my local grocery (in an emergency for a random ingredient). Everything is cheaper and there's only 2 of us. I have a full freezer and usually only have to shop once a month.
The minute I saw #3, I said, "That has to be Motor City Pizza Co!" 🤣
I'm really enjoying this series of taste tests and ranking. Thank you for sharing!
I love your cooking videos so much but I love these ones too just to see you interacting with your family. So much authentic love.
Really love these taste test videos! so much fun to watch. Now I want to try all of these!
these comparison/rating videos were such an awesome pivot for the channel. i love the recipes but these are so fun
I love how James is so focused on the review that he totally left Dad hanging with the "cheers" 😂
I love these videos so much!! Can't wait for your next one!
Love these taste test videos so much, I keep rewatching them!
Thanks guys!!! Love the podcast!!!
Nice job! Really appreciate these comparisons and rankings!
I love these reviews with the entire family!
By far the best pizza review I've ever seen. Excellent work!
Love James’ Christmas spirit in his choice of shorts. I started my shopping last week
lol. Nice early starter i see! 😊
Just want to thank you guys. Been really enjoying your channel & glad to see all 3 of you having your input. Comparisons rule!
The motor city pizza is SO good!
I bought the Victoria sauce and really like it. I never imagined eating frozen pizza, but am going to give these a try! Thanks for taste testing!!
My Aldi (!) Had Screamin' Sicilian Pepperoni or 4 Cheese pizza some months ago & I hit them when they were clearancing out the cheese ones.
I loved adding toppings at home. Really good!
Glad to hear you guys aren't wasting the food. I did wonder about that when watching the taste testing. Hope you and your family are having a blessed weekend.
Why would anyone think that someone would waste pizza? Leftovers are ALWAYS good, heated, cold, or otherwise :-)
I like seeing James sneak a bite while discussing the last reviewed pizza, lol.
Not only great vid, but I am truly blessed to watch your family’s vibes. I miss my son so much.
Keep it up fellas!
*FAMILY TIME SPENT* is amazing and I so enjoyed seeing you all doing such. :)
Watched several of your videos and you brought me back to my roots. Your food looks amazing. I would like to comment on the way you interact with your children. It’s a pleasure to see and you’re giving them many good memories. All the best
One thing interesting about your excellent taste tests is possibly the adult taste palette vs. a youngster. Sweet, vs. salty... Umami vs. Bitter, sweet and sour and so forth. Your son has a very sophisticated palette for his age, but the difference in ranking results is also good, because all our tastes differ, as in wine selection and preference. Kudos!
When I was young there was this pizza shop that had the most different pizza than anything else out there to this day... Only sheet pizza..He shaved the pepperoni supper thin
and piled it on pretty thin crust ,sauce and only grated parm. Some day I'm going to recreate it, I hope. Cleveland Ohio the place was called DeCarloes
There’s something called Steubenville style pizza where they have a crispy, thick, caramelized crust, with cooked sauce and they out raw cheese and pepperoni (or whatever), on top right out of the oven, so the toppings are partially cooked and partially raw. It was really different and good. Sauce on the sweeter side. This place was in Columbus by campus but based on a place in Steubenville OH, like the Cbus one had to change its name eventually
Seriously almost three hundred views in first ten min of this video dropping. 😂. Your family videos rocks.
You are by far my favorite cooking channel. I have made many of your recipes and they have always been a hit with my wife. I was surprised to see this kind of review and think it distracts from your cooking videos, almost like “jumping the shark”. I see these type of reviews on the lesser cooking channels which I avoid like the plague. Keep up the great cooking videos.
When I watch frozen pizza reviews I swear i never see anyone review a Red Baron pizza.
My wife is from Detroit and I got hooked on that style pizza about 40 years ago. Motor City Pizza Co. does a fantastic job of getting it right for a frozen pizza. It's not as good as what you'd get from Buddy's or Jets, but it works when neither of those are available.
I subbed because you rarely see a well done blind test. Thanks!
So glad I just bought a frozen pizza! Listening to the *crunch* factor is tantalizing. I ❤pizza!!! Thank you guys! Would love to see you compare boxed rotinis including a gluten free one.
We recently discovered, as frozen pizza pros, that the Private Selection brand through Kroger's is our absolute fav. All the varieties we've tried are delicious.
They are delicious.
I’m gonna try it tonight, thanks!
I am not a big pizza fan, but my husband is. We used to buy the Screamin Sicilian often but a friend of his turned him onto the Costco motor city pizza. And I must admit that it is my favorite if I eat pizza.
James being a pro by trying the crust alone on that last one. You three are so great together in reviewing these foods. I picked out the Motor City just from the looks, but couldn't guess the others. I'd love to get number scores from Tara, too!
I was *sure* Tara was gonna sneak in a homemade pepperoni slice ;) Love you guys! Great channel!
I tried the Motor City Pizza 🍕 deep dish pepperoni on your recommendation- & it was really good for a frozen pizza 🍕!
My dad (who is 76, cranky, & usually hates everything) really liked it too.
Thanks for the reviews- this was a good find. Now I just need to find these cheaper. It was like almost $8 for one pizza at Walmart.
These comparisons are fun! I've recently moved from the Boston area to western Virginia, and my pizza options are very limited. Gone are my favorite pies like shrimp scampi pizza etc...The local pizza is terrible, so I'm now looking for frozen options. I'm not a big pepperoni fan, and I love garlic, sausage, mushroom, peppers and onions. Your videos help.....keep them coming!
Shrimp Scampi pizza?! That sounds really interesting haha never had anything like that before
Love your guys content!
I like these tests... thanks again!! :)
I have a pizza cooker... so I don't use the oven, and they come out really good...
Please do a frozen lasagna taste testing!
Our fav is Michael Angelo’s because it’s pretty simple ingredients. They also launched their own jarred sauce line!
So glad to see this video pop up! I was tempted yesterday in the grocery store but resisted as it is so extremely disappointing. Now I will watch and get the expert’s opinion!
Good methodology and informative discussion!
Oven preheating for my Screamin' Sicilian pepperoni pizza dinner of a thousand sighs of joy. Thanks guys!
Love these videos! Awesome job guys. Wish I lived in the States so I could taste these!
you all are the best!!! so enjoy your vid.
Screamin Sicilian is the ONLY frozen pizza my family and I will eat when I don't make homemade - hands down!!
Overrated
Totally agree!!!! The best frozen pizza hands down!!!!
I was considering getting it yesterday, maybe I’ll be brave and give it a try! Thanks
@@safehavensanctuary-hollyg.8814 dont unless you like a ton of sweet sauce
I always thought that was marketed as the “better” frozen pizza but it’s just the same as any other lol
Love watching these
Totally on target about the box art. I bet that is very important in setting the price point.
Screamin’ Sicilian! Just had some this morning after night shift with a beer. Good stuff.
Great comparison! I'll say, I do like a more sweet pizza sauce, and that's the only time I add sugar to sauce (and, a dipping sauce for fried zucchini).I grew up eating Ellio's at Long Island roller skating rinks for years, so even though we have access to amazing pizzerias around us here, there's nostalgia in the frozen pie. There's 2 in my freezer now! (Too much Pinot Grigio and the oven goes on at midnight 😂) Another great review guys!
Motor City is my favorite as well.
The Motor City Double Pepperoni Pizza has been my favorite for more than a year, tho yesterday at Costco I discovered the Screaming Sicilian 4 meat Pepperoni Pizza. I am going to have to try that.
I have been buying the Motor City Double Pepperoni at Costco pretty regularly. Having had Detroit style pizza several times while working there, I'd say it's a pretty good representation. I'm not a purist who insists that there is only one good style of pizza, and can appreciate the huge variety of styles we can get from New York style, to Chicago deep dish, and everything in between. Every time I travel to a new city, I have to check out what kind of pizza the locals are into.
@@Whatsinanameanyway13 I actually just sampled the Motor City at costco today. My first initial bite i wasn't impressed with the crust but then as soon as i swallowed it i was like, oh that was pretty good. So I will probably pick up a pack on my next trip.
I think you guys always do GREAT!!!!!!!!
I love the motor city pie! When it comes out of the oven I place it on a platter that has lots of olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano on it. Let it cool down on the platter and the mau down!
The Motor City is best if you almost overcook it a little and eat it very hot. Detroit Style pizza is excellent.
Love the oven in the living room! We're thinking of adding one ourselves now.
You must not be a "regular"... they explained where they are in a previous video.
California Pizza Kitchen Margherita Pizza is one of the few I actually like. The second you start adding toppings you gotta worry about the frozen pizza quality. Weirdly enough bagel bites do pepperoni better than most legit frozen pizza lol
For the price I'd rather have a fresh baked pizza
I absolutely love this video thanks so much!!! I can't wait to try the ones you got at Costco! I love the Palermo Pepperoni pizza, if you try that one would love to see what you all think. It's a thin and crispy one.
I actually saw this video a few months ago and renewed my Costco membership to buy the Detroit City Pizza loved it
My wife and myself love your videos. My mouth waters when I watch food 😊
I know you said you didn't want a video a million years long, but I think it'd be interesting/helpful in the future to note at least what cheeses are on the pizza, because I think the types of cheese can really change the flavor of a pizza. But I'm loving all these taste tests! Keep em coming!
I really enjoy all your videos. Good job family
You guys thought about doing a video on take n bakes? Like the pies you get at the Costco food court at about 9.99. Or Aldi has a take n bake at about 7.00 that I usually get. These are the pies you usually find refrigerated in the deli area of a grocery store.
you guys missed out on Home Run Inn's pepperoni. it's a chicago based chain but they sell their frozen ones around in the grocery store. i find them here in florida at least. soooooooo delicious.
Delicious pizza
Agree
It's the only one I've found with a yeasty tasting crust, the pre-baked thing is a little weird and they aren't really cheap, but yeah it's a lot better than 90% of frozen pizzas you will find.
Their sausage pizza is my favorite. I love their crust.
Being able to identify the quality of a pizza on sight alone is an essential New York City skill!
Great video.
I buy frozen pizza on occasion and I always cook them on a pizza stone. The stone cooking makes a world of difference in taste and texture.
I think an interesting angle would've been to look at the ingredients of the pepperoni afterwards. For instance, I think alot of pepperoni in these frozen pizzas tend to be a pork/beef (sometimes chicken) mix. I tend to judge if a pizza is "premium" if it only lists pork as the meat of the pepperoni.
Also I'm sure I've been making frozen pizza wrong all my life, but I never put it on the oven grates directly. I'll put it on a baking sheet since I don't want any cheese/sauce etc potentially coming off the pizza and melting onto the oven itself.
I've looked at Screamin' Sicilian and Motor City but haven't tried either one. Now I will! Thanks for doing this - very helpful. I hate to spend the money on a frozen pizza just going by the picture on the box! thanks as always.
That was fun. Loving your taste tests! I wish I could use a Costco, but I don't for two reasons. The nearest one is 100 miles or more - which is hard to believe, but true. Secondly, it's only me now so I can't justify the bulk buying anymore. Keep up the fun videos! How about one to taste test Alfredo sauces??
Great video! Frozen pizza was a way of life for me in my youth. I remember standing in front of the 7-11 eating their microwave mini pepperoni pizzas on a freezing cold Midwest day rather than endure my schools hot lunch program lol. As an adult I used to buy the Kirkland brand from Costco and use my own toppings but too much sodium for me now.
When I make pizza at home, I make Boston bar style pizza that uses a 60/40 split of Mozzarella and white cheddar.
I agree with you on Motor City Pizza Co.
I found that scooping most of the spilled toppings from between the container and the pizza, putting it back on top and then pouring a drizzle of olive oil around the sides of the pizza before you cook it, gives it a much better crust. I only cook for minimum recommended time, then let sit for 5-10 min before cutting.
Also my #2 is Kirkland pepperoni, and 3rd is Screamin' Sicilian. Good job on this video!
By far “Motor City pizza” is my favorite! Woo hoo it’s a top hit!
My wife and I really like the Costco cauliflower supreme pizza.
Keep the taste tests coming!!!
My wife and I really enjoy the Moter City pizzas. The 4 cheese is the best one they have.
The pizza that I buy is imported from Italy, and you can taste the quality of the tomatoes.
I buy only the Motor City Pizza here in Detroit area. Great toppings look cut by hand and wonderful crusts. The Supreme Motor City is excellent 👍 .. $7.50 at Wal-mart and $8.99 for one at the Gordon Food Service stores by me. I think Kroger stores carry Motor City brand around Michigan also.
I have seen the Motor City pizzas at Costco, and thought they looked delicious based on the box cover. I will have to pick up a box on my next trip to see if they are as good as the two Jameses think they are. This was a fun family video!
In the UK there's a brand called Crosta & Mollica and it is the best shop-bought pizza I've ever tasted. Their pepperoni one has Nduja on it too and it is tremendous. They also do a couple of white pizzas (no sugo) and I've never seen that before in a store-bought pizza. The base is sourdough and it's delicious. I strongly recommend to UK viewers. although it's 1.5 - 2 times the price of most others. I don't work for Crosta and Mollica btw :)
Luv these vids
Helpful video, thanks. I'm a Chicagoan so I'm taking note of the pizzas with cracker crust and sweet sauce.
Gotta love James’ reaction to hearing dad score Freshetta a 3.
Motor City definitely looked the best!! But, not gonna lie, I'd eat any and all of them after a few too many Modelos 😅
So much fun to watch.
We loved watching this ! So fun! I’m in my early 50s and we grew up on tomestone pizza😂. My mom made it with salad. I still love it. (Don’t hate me).
Lifelong Detroit-Style Pizza eater here in MI. The Motor City one at Costco is a pretty decent representation for a frozen pizza although obviously not like getting a fresh Buddy's Pizza out of the oven. Their cheesesticks, also at Costco, are pretty solid too.
