I'm not a "pizza person" but I don't mind throwing a frozen job in the oven every now and again.

I bought the C.K.-Pep. and It was great. I want another right now.

Have any of you tried California Kitchen?

It's a little better than most frozen pizza's. But nothing I would write home about.

I like their fresh pizzas from their restaurant, but those don't seem to be as good as they used to be. I think the quality has gone down as they got bigger ... their frozen pizzas too. Their thin crust is not bad.

CPK introduced me to BBQ chicken pizza, "Thai" pizza, and garlic chicken pizza. Good stuff, Maynard!

Its a good brand but nothing spectacular. i would go on further to say that most frozen foods you get at the grocery store are not "spectacular".

We're a Newman's Own family.

I tried CK...ok, but then found Newman's Own, which were much better and all proceeds to charity.

When I get a CPK frozen pizza, it's one with more unusual toppings like the garlic chicken or thai. Something you won't find in other brands. They're pretty good, but I usually stick with my Publix brand spinach and feta thin crust pizza. It's just a safe bet for me.

The only frozen pizzas that we enjoy are:

1. Kirkland brand (from Costco -- but not anything remotely like their food court or bake-it-yourself stuff). This is frozen (box of 4) and is DELICIOUS.
2. Red Baron 4-cheese (or is it 5-cheese? I don't remember).
3. Red Baron cheese deep-dish.

Actually, my favorite frozen pizza is usually something like Totino's which has been around since the earth began to cool. But at least I know what I'm getting with that kind of brand. I don't expect much, and I'm fine with that.

Those sound pretty good.
