\"Meijers<\/a>Meijers<\/a> is a regional hypermarket chain, with over 200 locations in\u00a0the Upper Midwest, with the majority in Michigan. They claim to\u00a0have invented the “supercenter” concept in 1962 (groceries and merch in one store).<\/p>\n

For me, the stores are a little too big to navigate for a standard\u00a0grocery run, but once and awhile I like to poke my head in and see\u00a0if they have any new products other stores don’t, and occasionally,\u00a0they do<\/p>\n

I picked up their store label thin crust frozen pizza, “Sicilian Style”\u00a0the other day, with a three cheese blend, and Italian sausage, salami,\u00a0and capicola ham for toppings. This one weighs less than a pound and\u00a0ran in the mid-range for frozen pizzas, at $5 +.<\/p>\n

If you’re an occasional reader of this site, you know that I work hard\u00a0to find something redeeming to say in every piece. I look for the good
\nat least.<\/p>\n

Well, I’m gonna disappoint you this time. This pizza is awful, and a\u00a0terrible value at the price. Skimpy on flavorless toppings, a crust\u00a0that doesn’t crisp up, not enough cheese. This pie belongs in the\u00a0value priced category, like Totino’s or Jack’s. Needs to be like 5\/$10.<\/p>\n

At least in my part of the Midwest, these pies are made for Meijer\u00a0by Palermo<\/a>, a Milwaukee brand, with plants in both Wisconsin and\u00a0Chicago (pictured).<\/p>\n

That makes sense, because the bottom end of the Palermo brand\u00a0is pretty dreadful as well, but they do have some premium brands\u00a0like “Screamin’ Sicilian” and “P’Mos” which are quite good. They\u00a0also make “Urban Pie” and “Sasquatch.” I’ve\u00a0reviewed about every line of Palermo’s here, skip to them by using the\u00a0search box above.<\/p>\n

Would I buy this again? Nope. I had three pieces and then did\u00a0something I never, ever, do. Toss the rest.<\/p>\n

This might be exactly what you’re looking for in a frozen pizza, it’s just not to my personal taste.<\/p>\n
