Every once in a while I forget how damn salty they are and buy one. I regret it after the first couple of bites.

Which you eat with a fork.

And a knife. Always have, even in the college dorm.

Go ahead, give me all you got. I’ve heard it all before.

The most I will grudgingly give frozen pizzas is they are better than starvation.

I'll second George's tolerance of Home Run Pizza, the ultra thin crust. When desperate for a hot meal in under 9 minutes (air fryer), we'll go with that - sometimes tossing some tomatoes on the sausage pizza. It's not the same as a real pizza - but we keep a couple in one of our freezers. My wife lives for freezers and freezing/frozen food. We have 5 freezers.

Thank you.

Home Run Inn frozen is very similar to Home Run Inn fresh-made. Yeah, there's some differences, but it's close enough to be tolerable. All the others have their own style, taste, etc. All of those are self-invented, not based on a real pizza place.

Well, not all, but many. I've heard that Lou Malnatti's and a few others are close to the real thing.

Props to HRI for at least trying to authentic to their brand.

A small (6") ultra-thin HRI pizza has about 900 mg of sodium. It's a lot, but not ridiculous.

I use to like frozen Stouffer's French Bread pizza, but it is probably 30-40 years since I have had it.

Sometimes now I'll get the uncooked fresh refrigerated pizza that is in the deli section. That is kind of like frozen pizza, but it isn't frozen.

At our place, we buy ready made pizza dough and then just add the tomato sauce and cheese and toppings we want, into the oven for about 12 minutes and it’s fine for home made pizza. We don’t do frozen pizza.

We enjoy a Jack's (thincrust) or DiGiorno, probably about 6 times each year. Delicious and convenient.

That being said, we make pizzas every friday night from almost-scratch. We buy the dough from Trader Joe's and roll it out. We've done it nearly every Friday for the past 10 years!

Above was tonight’s pizza

[Renauda]

@89th

Looks tasty.

[George K]

@89th that looks wonderful.

What kind of sauce did you use?

ETA: Moar deets on the process...in the "Cookbook" thread might be a good place.

I'm tempted...

[jon-nyc]

I’d hit that pizza.

[Horace]

Looks good.

You would slowly and carefully cut it into bite sized morsels, chewing each 40 times before washing it down with room temperature mineral water, then a dab on each corner of your mouth with a spotless cloth napkin. Replaced with a new one after each bite.

[jon-nyc]

Sparkling water. Philistine.

Is there a different way to eat pizza for a man with any amount of culture?

In Italy, they don't even cut a pizza into slices when they are served, so of course you use fork and knife. You don't drink wine directly from the bottle either.

Yes, I also shake my head over the pathetic state of American eating culture. Or rather, the lack thereof.

I disagree with a lot of what Germany did in World War 2.
