The companies are still in the restaurant business, and do a good business making frozen pies for regional distribution and nationwide shipping direct to enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I&#8217;d venture a guess that these two pies do about the same amount of business, and they certainly get the most freezer face at stores I go to, even tho there must be &#8211; what \u2013 two dozen frozen pizzas out of the Chicago market?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">They look the same, pretty much taste the same, and are usually priced the same, but Reggio&#8217;s seems to offer sales more often than HRI.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Both boast of a \u201cbutter crust,\u201d and you really can taste it. Both are a hair thicker than traditional Chicago thin (cracker) crust, more like \u201chand tossed\u201d thickness at most places.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Reggio&#8217;s has some good sausage and pepperoni, in fairly ample quantities. The 20 ounce pie is described as \u201cdinner size.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Ounce for ounce, dollar for dollar, I think Reggio&#8217;s has proportionately more cheese than most frozen pies, and it&#8217;s quality cheese at that, with good stretch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you&#8217;re in the city, and want to check out a Reggio&#8217;s restaurant, you&#8217;ll <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reggios.com\/restaurants\/\">find them here<\/a>. Or you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reggios.com\/frozen-pizza-online-ordering\/\">order them online<\/a>, have them shipped to you, four 20 oz pies, including shipping for less than $80. That&#8217;s considerably less than most pizza shipping deals in my experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In other words? I like Reggio&#8217;s pizzas, and they are in my oven as much as any other brand.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14669\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14669\" style=\"width: 424px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/20150710_183316.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-14669\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/20150710_183316-1024x891.jpg\" alt=\"Reggios Frozen Pizza Review\" width=\"424\" height=\"369\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14669\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>After 14 minutes at 400<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14670\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14670\" style=\"width: 423px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/20150710_195629.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-14670\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/20150710_195629-1024x533.jpg\" alt=\"Reggios Frozen Pizza Review\" width=\"423\" height=\"220\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14670\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Showing the Depth of Cheese ( I added olives)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Reggios Frozen Pizza Review<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve written about Reggio&#8217;s before; this one, and competitor Home Run Inn (HRI), were both born in Chicago pizzerias, 40-50 years ago.
