Jimmy’s (from North Dakota) is pretty solid as far as a moderately-priced frozen. The Chicago Sausage is my favorite variety, but there’s a taco-leaning one on their website that I’ve not seen at the local grocery that carries their pizzas.
And when I say, “moderately-priced”, I mean $6-$7, not the cost of a Tony’s or Red Baron.
Welcome to our forum! Is this a local brand or nationally available?
Thank you! They’re based out of North Dakota but I can get it in northern Illinois (from a southern Wisconsin-based grocery chain) so they have at least a moderately-large Midwestern footprint.
Ah, I’m probz too far east for that. Good to know for our midwesterners, however!
Search engines will yield recent major media coverage.
JImmy’s is good. In WI Lozza Mozza is super popular, prolly cuz it has so much cheese. I’m a sausage guy, too. Had too much crappy pepperoni in my life.
Yet another set of frozen pizza ratings, from the Washington Post.
Whole Foods’s 365 four cheese thin crust came in second, and I picked one up. Verdict: meh. The crust wasn’t particularly thin, and it didn’t really cook through. WaPo liked the sauce, but I found it gloppy. Not enough cheese.
Apparently, this is a thing (some peeps in my local food group mentioned it).
To quote the great Stephen Colbert: “hurrrrrrrrpppp.” ![]()
Um… I like it in theory. Not totally unlike a sandwich with leftovers.
But cheese? This is one of the few things NOT made better with cheese.
I’m with you–sounds great except for the cheese.
Two big ol’ YAYs for TJ’s frozen pizzas, specifically this:
https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/margherita-pizza-080530
And this, which isn’t on their site at the moment but I’ve seen within the last week:
Both have very tasty sauce and crust that tastes like an actual bread product, rather than cardboard. The Marg has a puffier, softer cornice and both of them (imho) benefit by being baked to the maximum indicated time for optimal crust crispness.
They are both cheaper and better tasting than your standard Red Baron / Tombstone.
I haven’t had these pacifically, but the TJ’s frozen πs I have tried were a notch above others.
Not for me.
I was kinda down on them for a bit, myself. But they’re so cheap, I tried again. Giving them a thorough baking kinda turned them around for me.
Do you like other frozen pizza brands better?
TBH — and as I may have alluded to a few times in this thread, we rarely ever buy frozen pizza. My dude’s got a pretty good handle on making his “own,” which sometimes just means he gets TJ’s or Aldi’s dough.
But sometimes… just sometimes, a late-night craving needs satisfied, or someone didn’t have time for a proper meal before a show
, and then their tarte d’Alsace or flatbread with prosciutto & arugula comes in real handy.
It’s all about expectations in life.
I keep a couple of Stouffer’s French bread pizza in the freezer. Everything else is Too Big.
