Whole Foods in my area sells frozen pizzas from a local company. The owner is usually in the store on Saturday giving out samples. Like CMichele, I buy cheese pizza and treat it like a blank slate--adding my own fresh veggies.

That is a great idea! I always like to buy local, and I wish more stores would feature local products.

That's what I would sometimes do: buy plain thin crust pizza and add my own toppings. Or just made pizza from scratch at home. It is not difficult at all...

I think the quality of those hasn't been too bad over the decades. I don't eat them often but usually have a pack or 2 in the freezer, if I don't feel like cooking or going out.

If you have teenagers, frozen pizza is a food group. I would buy them at Costco, each week, and they were gone by the end of the week. I don't eat frozen pizza, I have had a few pieces here and there...but not my choice. I am not even sure what brand it is at Costco I used to buy...but the cost was like $10 for four pizzas! Pretty good. And each boy could have his own personal pizza, and put whatever he wanted on it...they liked canned olives, pineapple, and bacon.

You can buy premade crusts already, and then just buy tomato sauce, and mozzarella separately. Assemble your own pizza, and cook it in the oven (which takes the same amount of time to cook anyway as a frozen pizza). You'll be consuming far less artificial ingredients and preservatives.


But it is fun to learn how to make your own pizza from actual flour, yeast, and vine tomatoes. Even learning how to make mozz is fun.

We don't buy frozen pizza that much anymore, we used to buy Jack's or Tombstone quite a bit. Now with Little Caesers down the road, for $5 you can pick up a hot pizza on the way home from the drive thru, the kids are happy, that's all that matters, quieting the chaos.
I tried World Table, philly steak thin crust and that was really good.

I only buy organic thin crust pizzas - sometimes plain or margherita and add my own veggies, sometimes with veggies on it. My favorite supermarket (Publix) has come out with their own natural organic line of frozen pizzas that are out of this world. No, none of these are the cheapest, but definitely the best. I am diabetic and can't eat too much pizza, so when I want some these really fill the bill. I don't make my own crust anymore because I just never could get it thin enough.

My 13 yr. old likes Totinos too, for a frozen, cheap pizza. I sometimes add extra mozzarella.

I prefer to make my own pizza instead of buying frozen - but - I was moving and didn't have utensils/cookware/ingredients, etc. I picked up a Wal Mart Marketside Pizza (it's their version of take and bake) because it was late and the only store open.

It was surprisingly good - hey, don't judge me.
