I'm sorry for not posting sooner. Unfortunately due to a series of unfortunate events I didn't get to eat it until it was already getting cold. I should have known the amount of seafood on it wouldn't be much because the price wasn't that much higher than the regular pizzas.

Aw, that kinda sucks.
#1 grated cheese, onions & bell pepper, chorizo slices, mozzarella
#2 grated cheese, mozzarella, gorgonzola
sauce is simply tomato "frito" with a bit of crushed garlic and Italian spices
oh and they were AWESOME
Awesome!

The best frozen store pizzas are Rising Moon, Newman's Own, Uno's out from a deli section, and Home Run Inn. Home Run Inn especially is rock solid on the consistency and getting done in 10 min flat once you toss it in at the proper temp---Donatos also an honorable mention by sheer virtue of their gumption when it comes to pepperoni portions.
Care to post more details on this EVOO'ified Pan pizza? It sounds....useful...and I've not heard prior of anything at all like was briefly described.

When I was in Cali I tried this place out called Papa Murphy's, it was my girlfriends suggestion. But to my dismay, I later find out that they don't bake the pizza for you, that you're suppose to do it yourself. I get all upset about it until I eat it. It was the best damn pizza that's ever been baked out of a home oven that I've ever ate in my life, by far. I knew nothing about the place though, when I get home I look it up just to find out some more info about it. Not only do I find out it's nationwide, I find out there is one practically 20 minutes away from where I live.
And that's what I have on me right now, I got this while watching football today. It was just as good as I remember. One large Chicago for only $10, and it literally can feed(and fill up) 4 people because it's a stuffed pizza. Well unless you have some dudes with monster appetites, then it may be a different story.
One mistake I made was bringing it out of the oven too early. It was a bit doughy, but not too bad. I'll just have to remember that for next time. My brother got a slice about an hour later after I put it back in the oven which was still quite hot. He agrees with me, best damn take and bake pizza he has ever had. I'll definitely be a regular customer at this place from now on.

Alright I'll finally show off my last 2 pizza creations, apologies for the gigantic pictures, I'll quote them so they don't show up huge on here.
I get my dough from a local super market, so these probably took 30 minutes each to make. I love pizza.
this right here is a prosciutto ricotta alfredo, it was pretty good, but I should have fried up the prosciutto a little prior to putting it on the pizza.
I made this baby tonight, and it was phenomenal. Chicken spinach ricotta alfredo... absolutely delicious.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
I finally found good NYC style pizza in Chicago.
Fuck you tomato casserole!

For me, the best frozen pizza you can get is Freschetta. I like the four cheese one myself.
interesting new chain that is supposedly a chipotle-style order at the counter place making neapolitan style pies in los angeles, and expanding.

I had a pizza from them when I vacationed in California this year. You should order the pizza well done, otherwise it's going to be a sloppy mess. It's supposed to be authentic Neapolitan style this way, but I don't like it. Otherwise great pizza!

Say what ye want, but, Frozen pizza's are actually really good. I've forgotten how much I love them. I had a Red Baron Supreme again and it was heavenly. I like it better then any of the chain pizzas.
Going to make my own pizza tonight. Got a can of whole peeled tomatoes that I'm going to put in a pan with some garlic to make the sauce. Do I drain all of the water out of the can or just dump it all in the pan? Can I just smash the tomatoes while they're in the pan or should I blend them first?
I got that bag of self-rising wheat dough from Whole Foods last night. It filled the bag overnight, so I put it back in the fridge... I'm just going to try spreading it by hand since I don't have a rolling pin. I also don't have cornmeal to sprinkle on my pizza-tray so I'm just going to use flour if that's okay.
as far as toppings, just cheese tonight. mozzarella. i've got some a ton of basil from the garden too that i can throw on the pizza and/or in the sauce.

guess i'll report how it went. I give myself a C+
the sauce was really good. i vitamix'd whole peeled tomatoes, chopped garlic, and fresh basil. put it in a pan, heat on medium, and waited until most of the water evaporated (like 30 mins).
the dough i messed up. i didn't stretch it out enough so when it was fully cooked i had a pretty thick, doughy pizza.
but i did everything else right. i put corn meal on my pizza stick. i preheated the pizza stone. swished that bad boy on there for about 14 mins on 500 degrees. cheese was golden brown. i only burned two of my fingers!
all in all though it felt like it took too much work :lol cleaning all the dishes sucked. i had cornmeal all over the table-top too.

Aww, well at least it wasn't an unmitigated disaster (you could still eat it!).
Was the cornmeal worth it though?
Seems like you could make it a little less cleaning-intensive afterwards if you skipped that.
Chili's Pizza review

I like to use bread crumbs myself, cornmeal conflicts with most toppings when it's even slightly burnt. Breadcrumbs have a nice neutral flavor and ends up merging with the dough, and isn't as finely ground and thus messy. I've also used parchment paper on the peel and that worked just as well.
In the end the only things I have to do any work to clean are the counter, breadmachine bowl, and the container I use to let the dough rise. Stone and peel just get a wiping.

Made another pan pizza. Turned out pretty well. I didn't have time to slice up pepperoni (which would have had the nice curling) so I just bought a package of pre-sliced, but besides that, it was good!
That is an excellent pizza!

Haha, I know. It's the pepperoni. I need to figure something out about that. Last time I made it cheese only, and it wasn't nearly that greasy.

Mmm spicy pizzas are the best.
Especially when you dip the end-crust into a garlic-herb dip.
I would want to eat that, and pay good money for itMade another pan pizza. Turned out pretty well. I didn't have time to slice up pepperoni (which would have had the nice curling) so I just bought a package of pre-sliced, but besides that, it was good!

If you ever read the weight loss I posted my results in it. I planned on a 12 week cut, but I stopped short at 9. I'm very pleased with the results but my diet was driving me nuts and this thread only contributed to it. If you look up, I posted a picture of the stuffed pizza. It was the first place I went to after ending my diet.

Do you have a recipe for this? Include the type of pan you used too, if you could. Looks amazing.

is stuffed pizza another way of saying round calzone?Also, to contribute, Pat's Stuffed Cheesesteak Pizza. So good.
Exactly. I used to make my own dough, which is totally easy, then I'd make my own pizzas. It was always way better than a store bought frozen one. It was always a mess though, flour all over the kitchen counter. So sometimes I'd buy a frozen one at the grocery store, and they always were so bad.
I haven't really tried a dough that is specifically for pan pizzas (if there is such a thing), so at the moment I'm just using my "universal" dough, which is from here. (got the link from a GAFer at some point. Anywho, I used an old Wilton pan that I've had for I don't know how long. Basically it's just a heavy duty pan, a little thicker than the average you would find for a cheap price.
So, preheat your oven to about 500 degrees F. Take about a tablespoon or however much EVOO it takes to cover the pan on the bottom and sides, and then cover the risen dough ball in EVOO as well. Hand press the dough out to cover the pan all the way to the sides. Put whatever sauce you choose on (all the way to the edge of the dough). I use a commercial sauce, because I've tried to make a few homemade sauces and still haven't found any that I like. Use part-skim (or whole milk, if you prefer) mozzarella cheese, shred it (or crumble depending how hard it is to shred), and cover the pizza, edge to edge. Then put whatever toppings you want.
Whenever the oven is sufficiently preheated, pop that thing in the oven and let it cook. I didn't count how long it took exactly, but just wait at least until it the cheese starts to brown and whatnot. You want to make sure it cooks long enough for the crust to get golden on the bottom from the oil. Once it looks about how mine does, should be good to go.
Sorry about the lack of specifics lol, I just don't really get too technical about how much of anything I use. I just kind of wing it and it usually turns out about the same every time.
The older I get,the less I eat/like pizza.
I can only eat thin crunchy pizza thats cut into squares. Massy's is a good pizza.Small pepporini and square cut.
Im not a big sauce guy either.Or tons of cheese.I feel like a lead balloon afterwards from most pizza's.
I saw on Food Network a show about different types of pizza.One had a kind of lettuce and different cheese than what Ive eatin in the past.
I wanna try it but I forget the important details.
