I liked the pepperoni because it has a nice little bit of kick. The hand pulled sausage could be a little bigger for my taste, and while it is clearly pure pork, it&#8217;s mildness will have some wishing for a touch of fennel and\/or garlic.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a little higher priced than comparable products, but the hand-made quality makes it a strong value.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11137\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11137\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140304_113920_Android.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-11137  \" alt=\"Doreen's Frozen Pizza\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140304_113920_Android-1024x980.jpg\" width=\"430\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11137\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Unbaked<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11136\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11136\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140304_115438_Android.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-11136  \" alt=\"Doreen's Frozen Pizza\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140304_115438_Android-1024x803.jpg\" width=\"430\" height=\"337\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11136\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>After 15 minutes at 450<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>doreens pizza review<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Checking out another Chicago area frozen pizza, Doreen&#8217;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.
