frozen pizza

...is never as good as fresh. i think thats a rule when it comes to most foods. fresh>frozen>dried>canned. nevertheless, sometimes, at odd hours in the early morning, when you cant sleep and are hit with sudden hunger pains, frozen pizza does the trick. sure there are different kinds of pizzas, some better than others, but they all seem to have that "frozen pizza" taste. you know what im talking about...that slightly sweet, bready, freezerish taste? again, not horrible, but definitely recognizable as frozen pizza taste. sorry digiorno, i dont care how much you claim to taste like delivery, no matter how much time you take perfecting that delivery taste, you will always have a lingering frozen pizza-ness to you. and you know, sometimes thats perfectly satisfying. the other night as i was deciding between the box of red baron's thin crust or thick crust cheese pizza that i had sitting in my freezer, i realized, this about the freezer taste--therefore deciding it didnt matter which one i chose, because ultimately, it would taste the same. i decided on thick crust. oh, and here is another thing about frozen pizzas--the frozen vegetables on them always always turn out slightly gummy and flavorless. why pay the extra 20 cents when you can buy plain old cheese and add fresh veggies (or meat), yourself? thats what i thought. so--frozen pizza is good when its two a.m. and you dont want to wait for anything to be delivered, but add your own veggies and eat with hot sauce.



and dont forget to share with tiny elephants...they like pizza too.
