It was later bought by Kraft and sold to Nestlé, where the recipe was changed and the pizza didn't even taste like the original. So years later Pep's Drafthaus was released, and it's definitely one of my favorite frozen Pizzas. Wisconsin in general has great frozen Pizza.

Sure, Roberta's might objectively be the best tasting, but I can guarantee one of the mid-level pizzas would taste better to me simply because it's $5 instead of $25. Trader Joe's is really the unsung hero here. It ranked pretty close to Roberta's and sells for around $5.50

Wow, Tombstone actually comes in a box now? Back in my day, we didn't get a box, it was shrinkwrapped with a paper cover (showing a picture that the pizza would never live up to) and a cardboard circle you had to remember not to slide into the oven. Of course since that was 40+ years ago, maybe Tombstone couldn't afford boxes in those days. It did the job but I'm pretty sure if I bought one today, its only value to me would be nostalgia. Love this series! Now I'm wondering what it would be like if you ranked salisbury steak TV dinners.

You should adjust the scores based on the price of each frozen pizza. I would calculate an average of all their prices and then adjust the scores up or down depending upon how much above or below that average they are.

Price points for the same pie can vary widely from week to week or store to store. In Portland right now, Newman's has a base price of $10 +/-.50 at every store, but Safeway currently has them "on sale" for $9.49 while Fred Meyer's has them truly on sale for $6. I've even seen Red Barron go on sale for as low as $2 a pizza, but that's like a once a year type of deal.

It is a unique product. Wonderful, but not quite pizza.

I agree. I'm not sure it's pizza, but it's super nostalgic and delicious in the right setting.

I think the fact it's cheap and you know it is makes it taste better.

I never ate it as a kid so I’m not nostalgic for it. So believe me when I tell you, Tostino’s is the most foul tasting “pizza-like product” I’ve had the displeasure of trying

There's a special place in my heart for Ellio's pizza because I used to eat it as a kid. And I cooked it like a kid too. The cheese was still cold and the dough was soggy, but I still loved it.
