Busman’s holiday. A funny phrase. It means I’m taking time off from my job as a write to write this, which is supposed to be a hoppy, but has turned into a second job. No rest for the wicked, as they say. Developed originally by Kraft, the DiGiorno frozen pizza line now calls Switzerland based… Continue reading Home Cookin’ – DiGiorno Frozen Pizza Review, Pizzeria Style (new product)

Reggios Pizza Review
I’m reluctant to try almost any freezer pizza that says it can be microwaved. Just never works out, in my opinion. But Reggio’s is one of my favorite frozen brands, and the individual sized were on an endcap and on sale, so I thought I’d give one a whirl. I’ve tried the size before,… Continue reading Reggios Pizza Review
Frozen Edwardos Natural Pizza Review
The relative new kid on the block in Chicago pizzerias, Edwardos has been cooking up their special ‘stuffed’ pizzas since 1978 from multiple locations in the Chicago area. They are also available in the frozen food section at your grocery, or you can have them shipped. Despite the massive publicity Chicago pizza received courtesy of… Continue reading Frozen Edwardos Natural Pizza Review
Good & Delish Frozen Pizza Review
The “full name” of the product is Good & Delish Rising Crust Extra Thick Pepperoni frozen pizza. Good & Delish is one of Walgreen’s in-house brands for food products, the other is Nice! Not sure why they need two brands, as there doesn’t seem to be any segment specific reason for one or the other.… Continue reading Good & Delish Frozen Pizza Review
Luigis Pizza Review
Continuing to cut a swath through small Midwestern frozen pizza manufacturers, I happened upon Luigi’s brand, manufactured in the small town of Belgium, WI. I’m not able to find much information about it online, nor do they have a website. I’m going to make a giant assumption here and opine this is yet another manufacturer… Continue reading Luigis Pizza Review
Doreens Pizza Review
Checking out another Chicago area frozen pizza, Doreen’s started as a small pizzeria on the South side of Chicago; several locations later and a new state of the art plant in Calumet City, the pies are now distributed across Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and are also available at the plant store. Boasting “pizzeria taste” from… Continue reading Doreens Pizza Review
Bellatoria Ultra Thin Pizza Review
One of the brands from Minnesota pizza manufacturer Bernatellos, the Bellatoria Ultra Thin Sausage Italia promises “Italian sausage is piled on top of Mozzarella, Asiago, and Parmesan cheese with a rich Italian sauce on a crispy Ultra Thin Crust.” A friend of mine had tried this and described the sauce has being “slightly off.” That wasn’t my experience, but… Continue reading Bellatoria Ultra Thin Pizza Review
Ginos East Frozen Pizza Review
Jon Stewart, the witty host of TV’s “The Daily Show” took off on Chicago deep dish pizza last week, as a postscript to a story about the new World Trade Center being named the tallest building in America. Seems Mr. Stewart’s opinion of the 2nd city is less than favorable, and his pizza rant took… Continue reading Ginos East Frozen Pizza Review
Why Are European Made Frozen Pizzas Better?
I don’t get it. Frozen pizzas from Europe kick the ass out of the US made ones. With the exception of Vito and Nicks II, out of Chicago, I have seldom (OK, never) run into a frozen US pizza that compares in taste or texture to those made in Europe. Trader Joe’s has some excellent… Continue reading Why Are European Made Frozen Pizzas Better?
Tombstone Pizza Review
Sherman? Set the wayback machine for the early 1960s, north central Wisconsin, the town of Medford, the Tombstone Tap bar. That’s where brothers Joseph and Ronald Simek created what would become a giant in the frozen pizza industry. Much of the credit goes to brother Joseph (“Pep”) who devised the recipe to satisfy hungry bar… Continue reading Tombstone Pizza Review
