Frozen Pizza: Trader Joe's Pizza Parlanno

This pie confirmed what I suspected back when we tried Trader Joe's Margherita: with frozen pizza, simple is not always better. A few toppings can be a welcome distraction from frozen pizza's inherent weaknesses.

Frozen Pizza: Kashi Thin Crust Mushroom Trio and Spinach

Kashi's Mushroom Trio and Spinach frozen pizza is taking on too many challenges. It's hard enough to make a tasty frozen pizza crust, let alone a healthy, tasty frozen pizza crust.

Frozen Pizza: Red Fork Thin & Crispy Margherita

I picked up this Red Fork pizza from the Whole Foods freezer case and, upon opening the package, felt quite optimistic. The mozzarella looked, well, real. Fresh, even. With all the claims of all-natural ingredients on the box, I thought we might have found a winner.

Frozen Pizza: American Flatbread Revolution

[Photographs: Maggie Hoffman] With frozen pizza, do you get what you pay for? I was a little shocked at the price of the American Flatbread pizza I purchased this week, a 12-inch number topped with tomato sauce, caramelized onions, mushrooms, cheese, and herbs. The damage: $11.99. More than I've ever paid for a frozen pizza, though not as much as we shelled out for Domino's new 6-Cheese Wisconsin pie, which is 13.99 for a 12" medium and $15.99 for 14" in Manhattan. But the American Flatbread Revolution pie just may be worth the steep price. The cheese is rich...

Frozen Pizza: Amy's Cheese and Pesto Pizza with Whole Wheat Crust

[Photographs: Maggie Hoffman] First, the good news. This pizza from Amy's beat last week's freezer-case choice by a mile. It came of the oven golden and bubbling, with nice bits of cheese that got crisp on the edge of the crust, sort of like an Asiago bagel. The copious cheese was nicely stringy and creamy, and the pesto was surprisingly tasty, much better than most I've gotten jarred (though maybe not quite as good as the fresh stuff we make from our balcony plants). The pesto adds a much-needed dose of garlic and oil to each slice. There was...

Frozen Pizza: Trader Giotto's Pizza Margherita

[Photographs: Maggie Hoffman] I didn't grow up with frozen pizza. My dad used to pop two English Muffins in the toaster oven for us, and top them with marinara sauce and shredded cheese, but that was the extent of my quick-faux-pizza childhood experience. So I come to frozen pizza with an open mind. Is it possible to find tasty frozen pizza? Are there any worth keeping around for when you're in a pinch? We'll see. I started out simple this week with Trader Joe's frozen Pizza Margherita with Mozzarella and Grana cheese....

Pizza Snacks: SuperPretzel Pretzelfils

SuperPretzel Pretzelfils are, according to the product website, "SuperPretzel on the outside. Absolute deliciousness on the inside. Which makes for some seriously good snacking all around." Except they don't.

Totino's Pizza Rolls: How Can You Not Love Them?

The only thing wrong with pizza rolls is that you feel like such a damn kid eating them. Also, they are mouth-scaldingly hot just after they come out of the oven but cool off to lukewarm mehishness seemingly within the time it takes to eat two of them. They're like the bananas of the pizza-snack world: There's a sliver-thin window of time when they're perfectly ripe temperature-wise.

Reality Check: Red Baron Pan Pizza Supreme

[Photograph: Adam Kuban] Aww, hell. I was all ready to write a damn "Reality Check" review of this thing, and was indeed about three-quarters through it, when I went to look up something on the box. Ugh. In the fine print, right below the admonition to "Cook before serving" (duh), is the warning, "Pizza must be baked in a regular oven. Never use a toaster oven or portable oven. Failure to follow all instructions on package may cause smoke, and rare cases, fire."...
