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.
Someone posted a pizza crust recipe here on CDF that is ideal for carb watchers/diabetics:
1 C steamed cauliflower, processed in a food processor
1 C shredded mozzarella cheese
1 beaten egg
Salt and pepper to taste, minced herbs and garlic if desired
Mix the first three ingredients and spread onto a round pizza pan. Sprinkle with your desired seasonings. Par bake in a 400 degree oven until edges just begin to develop some color. Remove pizza, top with desired toppings, and bake again until bubbly and done.
Another idea, since you like thin crusts, is to use some of those carb solutions ultra thin bread sandwich buns. Split and toast them first, then spread with sauce, top with cheese and toppings and bake in a hot oven. Back in the good old days when we were kids, my sister used this same method with plain English muffins. Everyone loved them when there wasn't anything prepared and we wanted a hot meal fast.
The BEST frozen pizza I've had is Central Market's (H-E-B). If you're in Texas and have a Central Market or H-E-B near you, pick one up. They're incredible! According to the box, they're made in Italy!
Now if only I could find New Haven-style pizza frozen......
My 13 yr. old likes Totinos too, for a frozen, cheap pizza. I sometimes add extra mozzarella.
I bought only two Totinos and each had, stuck to the underside of the crust, a few black thick straight hairs.
Disgusting. I will never, ever, buy that brand again.
Like a few previous posters, my favorite is DiGiornios Supreme. I don't like the rest of their line. Freschetta is a close second.
If my supermarket restocks, I like Shop Rite in those rectangular boxes (similar to Ellios, but better). These, I put extra chopped tomatoes on with extra cheese and a bit of extra virgin olive oil (especially on the crusts).
If you keep the heat really low and place a cover on it, you can reheat a slice nicely on a fry pan. Take the cover off after a while. It makes the crust crispy. I also put some corn meal under the crust to raise it from the cooking surface, helping it to dry out and crisp, too.

I don't think anyone mentioned Trader Joe's various pizzas. For a while I couldn't get enough of the BBQ chicken pizza, but when the quality started to falter, I switched to the Italian pizzas and they are all really good and require no additional "jazzing up".
Although they're rather bland-tasting, as a kid back in the 70's & early 80's, I loved Celeste Pizza. Anyone remember those? Can't find them down here in Texas

I haven't seen them here in Dallas. When I was in college, they had a 4 cheese pizza that I LOVED.
We get the Totinos (sp?) pizzas because they are only $1.
Who could forget Totinos? I ate many a pepperoni Totinos back when I was in college. Haven't had one in almost twenty years.
