DiGiornio's can kiss my ass!

[Jack T. Chance]

I bought the DiGiornio's. I cooked it in the nuke, according to the instructions. And I haven just finished eating it.

As someone else mentioned, that's your problem! ALWAYS cook a DiGiorno's or Frescheta pizza in the OVEN! That's the ONLY way to cook them. I bought some of the single-serving, microwave DiGiorno pizzas, and I cook them in the oven. Not too bad, the sauce is a touch spicy for my taste, though.

Red Baron's. Much better.

Depends on which ones you get. Their french bread pizzas put Stouffer's to SHAME! And they're also the ONLY pizzas I've found that are actually EDIBLE when cooked in the microwave!

Unless it's a Celeste Pizza for one. They aren't too bad in the microwave.

I once thought as you do... when I was a kid! Then I grew up, and realized that Celeste pizzas are as bad as the crap that Sbarro's calls pizza and charges nearly $4 a slice for!

Stouffer's French Bread Pizza, Red Baron or Totino's are my faves. The Totino's pizzas are cheap, but taste good.

As I mentioned before, Red Baron french bread pizzas put Stouffer's to SHAME! But then again, you can cook the Red Baron ones COMPLETELY in the microwave or COMPLETELY in the oven, and they come out good either way. I don't know what Stouffer's does to theirs these days, but you HAVE to cook them partly in the microwave, and partly in the oven, or you RUIN them. Even if you follow the directions for the Red Baron french bread pizzas, the Stouffer's will come out like CRAP if you try to cook it either completely in the microwave or completely in the oven. So I just don't even bother with Stouffer's anymore.

DiGiorno frozen pizza is actually pretty decent, but as has been said, you simply MUST cook it in the oven. ANY pizza cooked in the microwave will come out mediocre at best.

[strawbabies]

I recommend never cooking a frozen anything in the microwave. It's just, well, ick.

If I have to live with frozen pizza, I get Red Barron's or Tony's.

However, I've recenly discovered that Publix has their own fresh pizza dough, and the resulting pizza is amazing. My fiance is lactose intolerant, and the cheap cheese they use in pizzerias causes some serious GI issues for him. But if we make our own pizza and use the Sargento artisan mozzarella cheese, he's fine.

[SG15Z]

Jester, I could have told you it tasted like ass. If you had asked me before hand you wouldn't have had this problem.

I never eat frozen pizza. Ever!!!!! Course I'm use to eating at the pizzerias so my standards are very high.

Two words, DiGiornio's: My motherfucking ass!

That's three words.

[Kogarashi]

You know, I don't think I've ever had a frozen pizza, either in the microwave or oven.

Ignoring the fifty billion and a half pizzerias in town (my city claims to be the American birthplace of pizza), Hubby and I just make our own. Hubby has a few quick dough recipes (the quick-rise breadstick dough is excellent for pizzas), plus we know how to stick Pillsbury biscuit dough together for a crust as well, and then we just throw on whatever toppings we want. We've only ever been disappointed when experimenting with new dough recipes, since some are far better than others.

[Jester]

Jester, have I told you lately that I your way with words?

What? What did I say (this time)?

I'm looking over here to see what I'm drinking and it actually has fucking camo on the can. Camo on the can. Who bought this stuff?????? Miller High Life Light.

Okay, let's face it. A can of Miller High Life Light. Camo motif. When you think about it, are you honestly all that surprised?

I was not expecting any quality and I was not disappointed. I'm talking to you, Jester.

I was not expecting it to be as good as the commercial says, no. But I was expecting it to be vaguely edible, maybe even somewhat tasty. I admit, I was led astray by those clever, devious, manipulative ad men. (I say this as the son of an ad man, incidentally.)

Err...I like DiGiornio's? But then, I like thick chewy crust.

I like all kinds of crust. Just not crusts that have all the chewiness and taste of a brick. Parts of the crust (about a third of the personal sized pizza) were hard enough to use as a weapon. I could actually mug someone and knock them out with this thing. "It's not a concussion....it's DiGiornio's!"

ALWAYS cook a DiGiorno's or Frescheta pizza in the OVEN!

I recommend never cooking a frozen anything in the microwave. It's just, well, ick.

However, I've recenly discovered that Publix has their own fresh pizza dough, and the resulting pizza is amazing.

Hubby and I just make our own.

As I mentioned, I felt less than wonderful, I wanted something quick, the local pizza places were closed, and I just wanted to eat. Yes, I paid the price, but the thought of waiting on it to cook in an oven or (ha ha!) making one myself and then waiting for that to cook was just not appealing.

And again, I hate the nuke. I virtually never use it, other than to melt butter or heat liquids or something.

Jester, I could have told you it tasted like ass. If you had asked me before hand you wouldn't have had this problem.

Yes, you could have told me. But as you were not in the truck, in the grocery store, on my porch, or in my kitchen, I failed to think to actually ask you. I'll make a note of your value in this area for future use.

That's three words.

I know. That's the point.

[sexiphatchick]

When it comes to frozen pizza, I have one rule. I buy the cheap, plain cheese pizza, and some veggies or whatever I want, and I put my own toppings on it, then I put more shredded cheese on top. And I always cook it in the oven, NEVER the micro (I guess that's 2 rules, huh?). If you do it this way, it comes out awesome.

[Bella_Vixen]

Back in the day, when we were poorer then poor, Becks and I would eat Tony's pizza. I haven't eaten it in years.

[Amethyst Hunter]

the crap that Sbarro's calls pizza

Hey, I *like* Sbarro's.

Tombstone used to be good - their thin crust in particular was nice - but then they did away with it and I haven't enjoyed their pizzas as much as I do the Red Barons now.

[powerboy]

I used to buy single-serv multi-packs of Tony's frozen deep-dish

That is the only pizza that I put in the microwave. Hell Tonys is the only pizza that I buy from the store.

[Becks]

I will NEVER make pizza in the microwave.

I like Jack's and Orv's, can tolerate Tombstone on occasion, but I don't care for DiGornio's.

I used to like Stouffer's FBP a lot, but a while back they changed the plastic wrappers and the cheese a little bit, and I think the quality has gone down.

In NJ, I developed a fondness for Celeste's Pizza For One.

[Seshat]

Your second problem was that you don't appear to have done anything besides nuke it. I personally get pepperoni and sausage pizza and add parmesan cheese, feta cheese, and red pepper flakes before I bake it.

If you're going to do that, just grab yourself some pita bread or foccacia, pre-sliced pepperoni, pre-shredded mozarella, pizza-sauce-in-a-jar and do the whole thing.

Of course, if you're going that far, where are you going to stop? May as well buy the unsliced good pepperoni and mozarella, and tomato.

Heck, may as well grab some bread flour while you're at it.

And there's that local place that grows their own tomato - pick it straight from the vine that afternoon. Maybe we should go there instead of the grocery store....

[Ree]

I like DiGiorno's pizza.

The only pizza that I ever cook in the microwave is the stuff that comes with a special microwave tray, but even then, I don't expect it to taste as good as one from a pizzeria.

[Gravekeeper]

Ugh, I HATE that ad campaign. If you actually know anyone that would seriously engage in a lengthy argument over the origin of the crap ass pizza you're serving them than do me a favour: Call them, right now, and invite them over. When they arrive, invite them in and HIT them as hard as you bloody can upside the back of the head. When they ask you WTF, ask them if that felt like the front or the back of your fist.

Now argue with them about it for the next 5 minutes.

><

On the other hand, never, ever put pizza in a microwave. No matter what they tell you or how ass you feel. You may as well just take the whole pizza, walk up to the back of a camel, lift his tail and just RAM the whole thing against his puckered forbidden gates and vigorous massage it in with circular motions till you lose all the cheese.

Actually, that'd still probably come out better. -.-

[Fenrus]

RAM the whole thing against his puckered forbidden gates and vigorous massage it in with circular motions till you lose all the cheese.

Best... Mental... Picture... Ever...
