I grew up poor and I only had lunch money once a week on Pizza Fridays in grade school. That pizza was awful, but also weirdly the best thing ever. I'll never forget it.

I gotta hand it to Chef Rosario (Italian guy) for keeping an open mind. You see his soul slowly dying as he consumes these woefully inadequate pizzas, but he still gave a fair analysis. I thought he was going to just spit out every single bite and say it was garbage! LOL! And he was hilarious

Me too. When the crust is too crispy it's like trying to eat twigs. I like the crust to be just a little bit chewy...

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

Most of these *were* really thin crust pizza. (Frozen grocery store pizza almost always is.)

[@cbotten106]

Totino's has to be crispy or it is slop. Okay, it might be slop either way but in that case crispy slop trumps bendable slop.

[@MichaelSheaAudio]

For the Canadian folks who want a cheap frozen pizza that's still decent - President's Choice Wood Fired pizza. The crust is crispy and flavourful and you can get them on sale for $5 or less. You can spend a few dollars more and get the PC Black Label pizzas which are also pretty decent, but the wood fired ones are a better deal. Honestly though, I just make my own pizzas now using pitas as a crust. Super cheap and as fresh as you like.

I’ve never heard of _Table 87_ but I’ll definitely be looking out for it!

[@brnhornet3676]

None of them are healthy for you but the Uno's frozen pizza really does taste like your at the restaurant. I like them

[@cbotten106]

Yeah, it is very close, cooked properly.

[@deborahhass8407]

Bellatoria is my go to frozen pie. I add mushrooms and fresh mozzarella and it’s delicious to me. Costs way less than any take out pie.😊

[@3ls4g4c10us]

No Stouffer’s French Bread Pizza?

[@liefbread]

Had the same thought.

[@davidwood2205]

Not since they ditched the microwavability

[@AndrewMacLaine]

I love these three chef commentators! They know their stuff, and have great varied personalities!

[@aliciaharvent5271]

Totino’s pepperoni is the taste of childhood. To me is the third best pizza.

[@jesdadotcom]

Frozen pizza is about cheap indulgence. Never speak ill of Totinos.

[@AbstractJJJ]

I don't understand what went so wrong with their rectangular pizzas though. Totinos pizza rolls are nice junk food. That pizza on the other hand, only pizza I've ever had where I ate a bite or two and stopped to go think about what I'm really having for dinner.

[@kristianFL]

Wish you would have Rao's in the lineup. I'd never heard of Table 87 but checked online and found that they sell it at Fresh Market here in Tampa so plan to grab one this weekend.

[@victreebel170]

Rao's needs to sit down. Their marinara ain't anything special.

[@Girl2TheCity]

This is giving me nightmares flashbacks of cafeteria cheese pizza. That everyone knew was imitation dairy, tomato, and bred 😂😊

"You gotta feel the snap" Are you out of your mind??? Soft crust all the way!!!

[@mrd7532]

1:38, that's not how you say mozzarella....."mozarell-ah", you HAVE to say the A at the end

[@Yukiwodashite]

Literally nobody in Italy calls it Mozarell, so it feels like people just say it to sound pretentious

[@niki420yuh]

No one *has* to pronounce anything the way you say so, cuz who are you??

[@DreadnoughtHvor]

​@@Yukiwodashiteits specific to NE Italian-American culture.

[@2mnyshp]

I'm gonna get some mozzarell in my Porsch, capish?

[@kikovazquez7277]

I was born and raised in NYC and always surrounded by Italians. Many of them who were born in Italy would use the pronounciation, "Moosarayla".

[@donaldperrotta8514]

Paul Newman is the best for a frozen pizza.

[@cbotten106]

The new Italian import line I especially like.

[@StivyIvy]

She really used every available opportunity to say "mootsadel" huh

[@OriginalElysian]

It's incredibly annoying.

[@zedenia]

This is how we say it in NYC. I grew up in Brooklyn hearing it pronounced only this way.

[@Ich1GoTgl]

@@zedenia It might be how you say it, it's still wrong

[@Scott-ji2tu]

@@Ich1GoTgl if you think there are words that you personally say they don't sound wrong or mean completely different things in other regions of the world that speak english, you may have a limited experience in this area

[@Ich1GoTgl]

@@Scott-ji2tu The italians bloody invented it, they get to call it whatever they want.

[@mayorb3366]

I get Totino's and embellish it. (They're the cheapest) I usually go for the basic peperoni, then add mushrooms, diced green bell pepper, Hormel peperoni slices, and then the absolute magic.... cover it with *provolone* slices. All at less than $2 for added toppings. Tastes FANTASTIC!

[@Immortal_BP]

yes! i like to add mushrooms/onions/bacon to mine. if you do add bacon i would only add cooked bacon in the last couple minutes. if you add raw bacon all the grease will drip into the pizza which makes it soggy and even more unhealthy lol

[@newtonduck1]

The Newman's Own crust is one of my favorites. We've started buying those over any of the others!

[@gageparker]

You had me with you, BUT MOCKING TOTINOS PARTY PIZZA IS FIGHTIN WORDS!

[@Richomerta]

Why does it look like you microwaved some of these pizzas and gave others an actual oven? Paid promo? I’ve followed the instructions on those pizzas and they never look that undercooked if you follow the instructions.

[@trishayamada807]

Exactly. I’m like why are they floppy.

[@Unlitedsoul]

Because several of them actually suggest microwaving them in the instructions.

[@downsouthlouisiana]

They cooked them exactly as the box said. He stated that in the beginning.

[@TLMuse]

They say very clearly at the beginning that each pizza was prepared according to the directions on the package.

[@Devsrulehockey]

very enjoyable to watch, thank you.

[@betsyfriend9995]

I worked at a food packaging factory and we put the same cake mix into two different companies boxes

[@angiealexis3093]

Thank you guys, now I know which frozen pizza to buy. My area used to have a great pizza shop but they closed, the owner who was the pizza maker was an older senior! He could sure make great pizza!

[@steveaustin9899]

Need to do a round 2 and include more varieties, but Screamin’ Sicilian is my fave!

[@MoriartysDemon]

What have I learned? I've learned that I'm not cooking these pizzas badly, they just suck.

[@Ms_Jaye]

Why didn't the cooks bake directly on the oven rack for a crisp crust?

[@JxT1957]

because it comes out too hard that way. it comes out better on a pan.

[@oppos727]

You could not have cast a better set of chefs than these, they are all phenomenal!

[@freeheeler09]

Thanks chefs! This was a lot of fun!
