Pfft, I always buy a frozen pizza specifically because I already know I'm not gonna feel like cooking after grocery shopping because it sucks. I don't even pretend anymore. All that fresh food is for another day.
Sadly frozen pizza tends to not have good crusts. The only exception I've found was interestingly enough the cheapest of pizzas, the Totinos Party Pizzas.
just buy pizza dough, tomato sauce, mozzarella and toppings of your choice and make a fresh pizza. Takes 2min to prepare. It's healthier and tastes much better.
Everyone in these comments needs Jesus lol. Frozen pizza sucks ass, and we only eat it because it's convenient. It's not even cheaper than take out anymore with inflation. I can get a 3 topping large carry out from Dominos for like $7-8 (I forget), which is the same damn price anymore for a tiny mediocre frozen pizza from the grocery store. If you really want it NOW, go to Costco's food court and get huge ass slices for $2 each.
EDIT: Apparently I need to provide some sources since I'm being downvoted to hell
Dominos nationwide has always offered carryout coupons. At the moment, my local Dominos has the following 3:
For $7.99 each, carry out all pizzas with 1 topping on any of our 5 crusts - $7.99
1 Large 3 Topping Pizza – Carryout Only - $10.99
Large Pizza with up to 5 Toppings - Carryout Only - $13.99
We can quickly figure out the total calories in a 14" Dominos carry out Pepperoni pizza for $7.99 with a coupon that's always available.
160 calories - 14" Hand Tossed
10 calories - Pizza Sauce
100 calories - Regular Cheese
40 calories - Pepperoni
310 calories total times 8 slices
= 2,480 calories
So @samus12345@lemmy.world I have no idea what you're talking about when you say a large 3 topping is $26.34. Clearly you don't know how coupons work.
@frickineh@lemmy.world if you go look at the total calories in your Totino's Party Pizza, you'll find the whole box is around 600 calories for $2 at Walmart so if you buy 4 of them to match the calories in the Dominos pizza, it comes out to the same $8 you'd spend at Dominos. You can also go to Costco and spend those same $2 for 710 calories of 1/6 of a Costco Pepperoni pizza.
All of this is to say your average freezer aisle grocery store pizza has around 750 calories for around $7, which comes out to roughly 100 calories per dollar. You get much better value doing takeout from Dominos, and if you're going to eat the frozen pizza as soon as you get home anyways like the Tweet suggested, you might as well get more bang for your buck.
