The weather forecast for the New England area this evening was for a light drizzle progressing into steady rain. Rather than trudge out to a local pizzeria in the lousy weather, we decided to take it slow this week and have a pizza delivered. I made the call, and….
Wait, I’m being told that tonight’s pizza was not delivery; it was Digiorno. I can’t believe the thick crust and ‘fresh as a 15-year-old girl to her mother’ cheese could possibly have come from anywhere but the old style brick oven pizzeria, let alone my very own freezer!
Seriously, though, I bought this at the supermarket on Wednesday and if you need an easy dinner for a night in, you could do a lot worse and you’d have to give more than a little effort to do better. No, the cheese doesn’t actually taste very fresh, but it’s not horrible. Like most frozen pizzas, they seem to go a bit overboard with the spices in the sauce to counteract the dreaded frozen food blandness but if you don’t mind a little heat (spicy heat, that is), it has a nice taste to it. The best part, though, is the crust: not deep dish, but thick around the edges and a little doughy in the middle (possibly because my impatience led me to remove it from the oven a few ticks too soon). Anyway, frozen pizza is frozen pizza, but this is good fozen pizza.
