Tony’s Meat-Trio

At a first glance, this pizza looked very similar to the Red Baron Classic Crust. They recommend baking it directly on the rack, which has never worked great with the Red Barons in my experience, but I decided to give it a try with this one. It turned out pretty good! The crust is maybe a bit dry for my preference, but that’s typical when baking a pizza directly on the rack.

Overall, this is a great pizza. It’s nothing special, but it’s the perfect average pepperoni pizza, which most of the time is exactly what I want.

Sam’s Choice Rising Crust Three Meat

Tonight’s pizza is a Sam’s Choice Rising Crust Three Meat. With how good the Freschetta rising crust was, I figured I’d try another new brand’s rising crust.

This one’s a pretty good pizza, but not as good as the Freschetta. The ingredients are fairly good quality, but the crust is a bit too dry for how thick it is. It’s a bit low on cheese, which I think could add a lot to the pizza overall.

Digiornio Thin & Crispy Three Meat

I decided to try a different thin crust pizza today. Digiorno’s rising crust has failed me the last few times, so I figured maybe this one would be different. It was!

Overall, this is a pretty good pizza. The crust isn’t fantastic, but it’s not bad. The toppings are fairly good quality and there’s a bit of variety. The basil is slightly overdone, but not bad.

This certainly won’t replace the California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizzas for my favorite thin crust pizza, but it’s one of the better ones I’ve had.

Dominos – Lehi, UT

It’d been a while since I had Domino’s, and I was feeling lazy, so I had some pizza delivered! It was just as good as always. You can’t go wrong with a Domino’s pepperoni pizza.

PPC and Red Baron Brick Oven Crust

AlanDine-in

We went to Pizza Pie Cafe in Highland, UT again today. We tried to go yesterday, but it was unusually crowded, so we got Popeye’s instead. Good chicken. PPC’s current pizza of the month is a brownie-type-thing that’s not too bad. Last month’s was a really Valentine’s-themed good sugar cookie. Likely my favorite food at Pizza Pie Cafe are the cheese sticks. Today’s were all right, but not great. The amount of cheese has to be just right for them to really be amazing, and there was a noticeable lack of cheese on the cheese sticks this time around.

Dinner was a Red Baron brick oven crust three-meat pizza again. These are really incredibly good. I don’t know what they do to the brick oven crusts, but they have so much flavor… it’s really a great pizza. It had an unusually large amount of ham this time, but it was still really good.

This post was incredibly rambly. I think I need more sleep. Probably more pizza too.

California Pizza Kitchen Margherita

AlanFrozen

I’ve had some excellent Margherita pizzas before, but getting a frozen one for $6 just doesn’t quite work out as well. There’s so little to the ingredients on a Margherita that it’s quite hard to make a really good one. This one’s not bad, but it’s not all that great either. I’d greatly prefer one of the other California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizzas.

Tombstone Pepperoni & Sausage

I’m not sure about this one. It takes a while to bake at 19-21 minutes, the crust is very dry, and the sauce tastes quite cheap, but it’s fairly decent for the price I suppose. I may try baking it again on a pan instead of directly on the rack like it suggested to see if I can get a softer crust.
