Poll Red Baron vs. Digiorno (92 votes)
@rorie started the fight on twitter, now the community must decide: Red Baron Pizza or Digiorno.
For me, Red Baron Pizza is the best frozen pizza.
Digiorno, hands down. Hell, just by those pics, the Red Baron's look like a hot mess compared to the Digiorno.
Neither
The only frozen pizza I have ever, truly, enjoyed was California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizzas.
Digiorno all day. Frozen pizza is barely pizza, but I love it, and Digiorno rules the roost.
I undercooked one once, though... it tasted weirdly great at the time, but I felt like I was going to give birth to myself for the rest of the day. And if you overcook it? Fuggeddaboudit. Still tasty, but the regrets come hard and fast. Don't listen to the box, either... the perfectly cooked Digiorno only comes with practice and a bit of luck. *nods sagely*
If I want cheap shitty pizza I get Lil Caesars. If I want cheap shitty pizza and I don't want to leave the house, I eat a Totinos, because in that scenario I already hate myself, no sense in wasting the extra buck or two.
I hate pizza. all pizza.
You have no soul! Begone foul demon!
The best frozen pizza is this (I am completely serious):
If you want a super cheap and awesome pizza, it is this:
Depending on the store, the Totino's pizza is only like $1.50 to $2.00.
EDIT: God dammit! I am fucking hungry now and drunk, but have nothing in the house to eat. Fuck you! D:
Freschetta really is the best frozen pizza, the cheese always tastes off on Digiorno and most ofther brands...and the crust is pretty good. Good all round frozen pizza.
Also Totinos are the best when they get nice and crispy and you are inebriated.
Digiornos new Pizzeria! brand is really good. Better than anything short of going to an actual pizza place to get a freshly made pie.
Digiorno or Freschetta are both fine frozen pizzas. I stock up on whichever one is on sale.
All other frozen pizza are gutter trash and beneath my contempt. *adjusts monocle*
God all these food forums tonight! I will eat any frozen pizza but I have more experience with Red Baron, so them.
It takes a half hour to make pizza from scratch till it is in the oven. Why would anyone pay a 500% markup on the cost of a pizza that is so inferior to the real thing?
Where's the option for "actual pizza"?
Yup. Maybe I'm spoiled by living on the east coast, but neither of those food products are pizza.
Not that they're horrible either. I've been known to dig in to a Digiorno in my time and thoroughly enjoy it, but it just tastes completely different than actual pizza. It's its own lovey doughy mess.
Also, completely on topic, this guy always reminded me of Jeff...
Roller Coaster Dollar!!!
This is the real truth though. Having grown up in CA and moved to the northeast, we are horribly spoiled when it comes to pizza. Unless you specifically want a Chicago deep dish it just isn't fair at all.
@monetarydread: because when the difference is $4 vs 25 minutes, I'd rather spend $4 more dollars. Though, if I'm getting a pizza, it's papa murpheys.
The frozen pizza hole is a dark and smelly hole to go down. I think they are all equally terrible. I'd take the shittiest takeout pizza over any frozen pizza.
The upside to frozen pizza is that its on demand and able to be "doctored", buy some shredded mozzarella for extra-cheese, or whatever additional toppings you like, etc., and you have a masterpizza whenever you want it.
Out of those 2 I prefer Red Baron. Digiorno's has this weird aftertaste that I don't particularly like. Costco Take And Bake is the best out of any frozen pizza though.
So many fake pizza snobs in here that probably actually eat frozen pizza all the time. Do ya'll go into threads asking what your favorite JRPG is and say "Skyrim cause I play RPGs that are decent lololol"
Anyways, I eat frozen pizza a LOT, and I have to say Red Baron is probably one of the worst. Digorno is one of the best (especially the cheese stuffed crust and the Pizza + Wingz, as well as the Pizzeria or whatever they introduced).
Digiornos new Pizzeria! brand is really good. Better than anything short of going to an actual pizza place to get a freshly made pie.
Of the two listed brands, i choose this one, although the strange smell of the pizzeria brand can get old if you have it too often.
Still, I think Freschetta is the best of the classic pepperoni (back when they had sauce stuffed crust that was amazing), followed by CPK for its bbq chicken.
And while pizza rolls and bagel bites are in their own class i choose them over standard frozen pizza because I live da OG neckbeard lifestyle and wont bother with triangular pizza varieties when i can grab and gobble bite-sized greaseballs in between games with ease.
That's my professional lazy unemployed college dude opinion.
The italian digiorno pizzas are fucking delicious. They have extra herbs, better toppings, and olive oil on the crust. It doesn't even taste like a regular digiorno pizza.
