We're kinda partial to Newman's Own.

(5,028 posts)They are decent, cheap, and I fancy them up with a little minced onion, pepper, mushrooms, tomatoes, bacon, and extra cheese.

Aldi also has an amazing 'deli' pizza but they are way too big for my use.

(34,195 posts)I tried it once (thin crust Supreme) after reading good reviews.
The toppings tasted good,
but the crust was so thin it was like eating pizza toppings on a cracker.
I choose DiGiorno Supreme, Rising Crust Pizza.

(13,724 posts)Both are reasonably priced.
They run sales frequently. (Kroger has 4 for $10.00 on Red Barron)
I always add mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.
I like their crusts and they have just the right amount of pizza sauce.

(4,858 posts)...walking back to my hotel from a Pirates game. But "edible" is all I can say for it...New Haven is the only place in America with *real* pizza.

(20,772 posts)Vegetable, frozen, thin and crispy crust (no flour), nice sauce, good cheese, and I add fresh vegetables and sometimes sliced sausage. Get it at Costco, 2 to a box for $12.99. Says it is gluten free so my friend with celiac can have pizza now!

(6,530 posts)Easily the best frozen pizza I ever had. I haven't seen it in stores for years, though. If you see it, grab it.

(51,292 posts)My new range (Bertazzoni Master Series 36" width with induction worktop - their term for "the place on top of the range where the pots and pans go) has a Pizza mode on the oven which runs the bottom heating element and the convection system. Strangely enough, it is the first click on the Mode control. As I tell people, that's how you know you got a Genuine Italian Range. It makes the most fucking awesome homemade pizza imaginable - better than pizzeria pizza.
Since I'm still without countertops due to the renovation of my house (I'm to the point where I can start building base cabinets) I'm not making my own pizza dough or pizza sauce, but this is what I do:
1. Set the oven to Pizza mode and temperature to 400. Wait until the temperature gauge - yes, it has one; it's between the oven controls and the worktop controls - points at 400.
2. Crack open a tube of Pillsbury pizza dough. Spread it out on an oiled cookie sheet, poke some holes in it so it doesn't swell up during prebaking, and stick it in the oven for six minutes. (The official Pillsbury instructions say eight minutes. I tried it once. Your crust comes out the consistency of a brick. These directions were written for standard ranges. Convection works faster, and ranges with Pizza Mode work even faster than that.) I bought a ball of pizza dough from the supermarket just to try it; not sure if it's all like this but the one I got had kind of a weird skin of hardened dough around it. The Pillsbury dough works well.
3. Remove the crust from the oven and install jarred sauce, toppings and cheese on it. Replace the pizza in the oven and bake for another six minutes, or until the cheese melts whichever comes first. On my range, the cheese does melt in six minutes.
4. Allow the pizza to set up a few minutes before slicing.
