Egg-Topped Pizza

Posted by Adam Kuban, October 2, 2007 at 6:00 PM

You know, I have a really strange weakness for those ultra-processed, super-questionable 99¢ Totino's/Jeno's frozen pizzas. It's probably a comfort-food thing, since I grew up eating these for lunch during the summer when school was out. So I was drawn to Paupered Chef Nick Kindelsperger's take on gussying up the old standby snack.

The whole conceit of Nick's post is that, having moved to Ohio from New York, Naples-style pies (the ideal pizza for topping in such a manner) are hard to come by. His solution:

The easiest way to have a thin crust pizza at home is, sadly, frozen pizza. And the one brand that stacks up best in all the categories is Totino's. Yes, that 99 cent pre-packaged circle. It's not authentic. But for some reason, some awful reason, it tastes really good when you put a fried egg on top. It's elevated from one of the palest imitations of one of my favorite foods, to something uniquely its own.
