Gloriosos Fresh Italian Sausage Review – Milwaukee, WI

Today I used some of their fresh Italian sausages for a home-made pizza. I only picked up two, of the “hot” not “sweet” variety, and they run about four ounces apiece at about a buck twenty per. I have this quirk which there is no rhyme nor reason for. When I’m making a sausage pizza, I… Continue reading Gloriosos Fresh Italian Sausage Review – Milwaukee, WI

Home Cookin’ – Home Run Inn Frozen (6 inch) Pizza

I’ve written about Home Run Inn frozen pizzas previously;  it’s the best-selling pie in the greater Chicagoland area.

Home Cookin’ Test – Newman’s Own Uncured Pepperoni Pizza

Seems to me (and I could be wrong, usually am) that Newman’s own product launches have picked up since the founder’s passing.  No matter, just an observation.  Today I took a look at their “All Natural Ingredient” “Uncured Pepperoni” “Thin and Crispy” pie. At $6.99 at my local Safeway, for a 13.2 oz pizza, Newman’s Own… Continue reading Home Cookin’ Test – Newman’s Own Uncured Pepperoni Pizza

Signature Cafe Fresh Pizza (Safeway)

Picked up the massive 42 ounces sausage pizza at Safeway the other nite.  At 7.99, a real “cost per ounce” bargain.  This is a medium crust pizza, with ample toppings.  The sausage bits are larger than most frozen pies, and because this pizza is not frozen, it bakes faster than a frozen pie. I added… Continue reading Signature Cafe Fresh Pizza (Safeway)
