  • 7-Eleven Frozen Pizza Review – Nationwide

    7-Eleven Frozen Pizza Review A few years back, 7-Eleven made some rather dramatic decisions – to go into the hot, ready to eat food business and to replace many of the standard shelf offerings with house brand merchandise ( 7-Select). Both moves appear to have been very successful. With a history that dates back to the 1920s, and originally […]

  • Papa Murphys 5 Meat Stuffed Pizza Review

    Papa Murphys is the result of the consolidation of two mini-chains in the early 1980s. Papa Aldos in suburban Portland, OR, and Murphy’s in Petaluma, CA. The unique hook for the now global, 1500+ store chain is (as far as I know) the only national chain offering strictly “take and bake” pies.  They make them […]

  • Mama Cozzis Tavern Style Pizza Review – An Aldi Product

    “Mama Cozzi” is Aldi’s brand name for pizzas and related products. They come in a very wide variety of styles, both frozen and take and bake, and are value-priced like most all of Aldi’s products.  I’ve reviewed quite a few of them in the past, read some of them here. I’m a pizza snob, but […]

  • Mama Cozzi’s French Bread Pizza Review – An Aldi Product

    Another Aldi product this week, actually did this one some time back, didn’t write it up. Mama Cozzi’s is the brand name the Aldi grocery chain has cooked up for their frozen and fresh (take and bake) pizzas. I’ve tried a lot of them, including the one I wrote about directly below, and a “Mega […]

  • Red Baron Deep Dish Singles Review

    I like to check in with the mainstream frozen pizza choices once a year or so.  See if they’ve improved, changed at all. For the most part, I don’t care for any of them, with the exception of hyperlocal brands like Vito and Nicks in Chicago (absolute #1 favorite), and for the pies at Trader […]

  • Meijers Frozen Pizza Review – Grocery Store Brand

    Meijers is a regional hypermarket chain, with over 200 locations in the Upper Midwest, with the majority in Michigan. They claim to have invented the “supercenter” concept in 1962 (groceries and merch in one store). For me, the stores are a little too big to navigate for a standard grocery run, but once and awhile I like to […]

  • DiGiorno Bacon Me Crazy Pizza Review

    Quite often, when I buy frozen pizzas, I feel like Charlie Brown’s experience with Lucy holding the football. Yet I don’t learn. (P.S., I have had relationships like that, too! LOL) There are two or three frozen pizzas I rate as exceptional on every level, but unfortunately, as one might suspect, none of these are in […]

  • Peps Drafthaus Frozen Pizza Review

    I’m “frozen pizza rich”  in one sense; there’s a mega grocery near me that stocks more brands of frozen pizzas than I even knew existed. It seems like there’s always something “new” in their freezers. (There are four, 30 foot long freezers of pies!). This week it is Pep’s Drafthaus. Pep’s Drafthaus Pizza is from […]

  • Emils Frozen Pizza Review

    “Exceeds Expectations,” the package of Emil’s Pizza boasts.  And you know what?  It did, for me.  And I was surprised that it did.  Making “Real Good Pizza Since 1961,”  Emil’s is based in Watertown, WI, and must be another one of those Upper Midwest pizzas that got its launch as a local mom and pop […]

  • WalMart Flatbread Review

    Up in the front of WalMart, near the deli counter is a supply of ‘fresh’ (not frozen) take and bake pizzas.  WalMart has been expanding the choices in these pies, and all of them are a great value compared to most frozen pies and nearly any pizzeria. They now have a “flatbread” with pepperoni slices […]
