Pizza

[CheezWizHed]

I'll be trying my first pothole pizza this week. My family enjoy Lotzza Motzza pizza and yes, I like the toppings more than I like crust. Too many pizzas have tried to hold the $5 price point and have become pizza flavored cardboard - even after saving costs by removing the cardboard! Either that or they removed the crust...

 

My family used to eat Jack's Rising Crust pizza, but we can't seem to find it around us anymore. That would represent my ideal cheap, frozen pizza. The regular jacks gets back to the cardboard.

 

I also think the Aldi Take-and-Bake brand (Mrs. something or other) is very good, but HORRIBLE for leftovers.

 

My daughter was talking about using our new air-fryer oven to reheat pizza, that might help greatly with soggy crusts and cheese.

I had good success using the conventional oven to reheat pizza. I think I did 400 degrees for like 6 - 8 minutes. That was back when I was single and getting two Domino's mediums for $12 (or whatever the deal was).

I can confirm, I just reheated 4 day old Papa John's, 2 slices of pizza and 2 breadsticks in the oven. Around 7 minutes at 375 degrees on a baking sheet with aluminum foil so it doesn't make a mess. Tasted just like the day it was ordered.

I love the Jack's rising crust. Orv's has one thats good and available.

Yes! I mentioned this above. Had an Orvs rising crust for the first time the other night and was really surprised by how good it was...especially for 2.50$

I can't ever eat Romas (sober at least) anymore after eating it in college. The crappiest pizza out there imo.

[Menotti80]

At the risk of losing my pizza cred... My go to cheap frozen pizza is red Baron brick oven or regular crust. Granted I haven't tried them all, but I've my fair share...

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Is Red Baron that cheap? My Dad bought it all the time but I thought I remembered it being like $4 in the 2000s. Cheap to me is Jacks vs Orvs and Jacks is in a league of its own. Can still sometimes get a Jacks for $2.50, awesome deal.

[Menotti80]

I get RB when it's in the $3.50-4.00 range (on sale), which happens pretty often

Non-Frozen pizza variety...

 

Tried this out, and it was amazing: https://www.seriouseats.com/foolproof-pan-pizza-recipe

I always want to like Red Baron....but it just looks better than it tastes in the end.

 

Also, Romas aren't good...but they ain't the worst. That is Totinos....and really I don't think it can even be debated. To be honest I am not even sure how they even sell them anymore. What cult eats those things?

[wallus]

Any good pizza food trucks in the area?

It’s the cardboard box. It’s the only pizza at that price point that’s not wrapped in plastic. It makes it look fancier than it actually is.

It is wrapped in plastic, but inside the cardboard box.

 

Just sayin'

Which area are you talking about?

 

Not a food truck, but if downtown Appleton, you have to try Sal's by the slice. (located right across the street from the PAC)

 

They also give you a delicious garlic roll with the slice.

 

My favorite pizza in Appleton by far.

That looks incredible - not to mention many tabs below look incredible. Thanks for the share! I make fritattas every week with our excess chicken eggs. LOVE the cast iron baking method. Great for quick breads too.

I've yet to find a "good" pizza place in the Twin Cities... I had one deep dish (Chicago style) place highly recommended by 3-4 people so my wife and I did it for a date night. It was passable Pizza Hut level, but not something to out of your way for.

Yes, I've done that too. But we have a conventional oven that has an air fryer mode (basically it is just a convection oven). The small air fryers are worthless for a family of 8.

I remember people their absolutely loving Red’s Savoy Inn. It was ok but worth the fanfare no way - it was an utter doughy gut bomb. When I last lived there, I remember kind of liking Galactic Pizza and Pizza Harina (I have no idea if these even exist anymore). Pizza Lucé had a cult following too, but I felt it was just ok. Though, their barbecue chicken pizza had potential IF it was cooked proper.

 

Really, for me, when I lived in the Twin Cities it was about the Blue Door burgers and deep fried pickles; the Walleye sandwich at ‘that restaurant’ on Grand Ave; and the tasty tasty Nepalese meals at Everest on Grand.

John's Pizza Cafe is a pretty good thicker crust style, Mamma's Pizza is probably our family favorite, they do a thin crust and an embarrassing amount of toppings. I rank both ahead of Pizza Luce

Shoot even a standard oven be getting cramped at that size.

That is why we bought a double oven

 

We often are baking two things at once or at least using the smaller one as a "warmer" for what I'm grilling. The air fryer feature is very nice and we can get crispy fries for the whole family.

Getting Rocky rococo's after work today. i always thought their sauce was off tasting (too sweet) and its way too doughy. The kids love it so its a treat for them.

Gotta go full pie and order the whole wheat crust.
