I’d rather have one home made pizza than twenty cardboard ones.

What are your thoughts on a Little Ceasers pizza?? Would take a CB pizza any day over L/C !! Still,my best bang for the buck is a Jack's brand frozen pizza :-) We also have a few CICI's pizza joints around here,not "horrible" but not premium either, better than Pizza Hut IMO!!

Wow, I remember Chef Boyardee. Grew up on that. Shakee's was a treat then. Now we get ours from Aldi. Just started buying the take and bakes from there and they remind me of Shakee's.

Do any of you guys recall GODFATHERS pizza restaurants?? The BEST take-out I have found is the Costco supreme pizza. How they can sell a SUPREME 18' pizza for $10 baffles my mind, and it's AWESOME!!

Really, is it still open I'm assuming? Last one I ate at was in Garden City back in 94, that one had really good pizza.

Little Caesars = grease and air, and likely a screaming poop within an hour Never heard of Jack's until this thread, have to keep my eyes open.

Wife baked a Jack's pizza last night. I ate about half of it. Better than nothing. I'm not exactly bragging on it, but it was tolerable.

we have a sit down Godfathers restaurant here, and all the Cubbies stores have the Godfather franchise, I also thought Shakees pizza was the best and still to this day! now the best around here is the Caseys gas stations. we never buy the cardboard pizzas, we'll make our own before doing that. I am gonna try making one on my flat top grill, just gotta study on it more, don't wanna burn the crust! prolly hafta pre-cook everything then cover it while on the grill, i'll report back if it does/don't work! oh...and if any of ya'll have been saving Caseys box tops, get them traded in this month as they are discontinuing the box top thing and going a different direction. it ends sometime this month of Feb. better details in the store

They stopped the box top tabs at Caseys here at the first of the year. Just keep frozen pizza for the grand kids mostly. I will eat some but don't go out of my way for it. Wife will pick up a Caseys pizza if she is in town every now and again.

I was wrong. My wife reminded me it was a Butch's pizza. Sausage and cheese.

Butch's are pretty good, made in Morton IL. I like the Gino's Pizzas, they have a different crust than before, changed a year or 2 ago I think. Nice flaky crust for a frozen pizza, and they're made a couple of blocks from my house lol!

I can't say that I've ever had a Tombstone pizza,have had Dijorno and Red Barron, but IMO, the $$/taste favors the Jacks IMO.

Not a huge fan of frozen pizzas but will do in a pinch and we do have a pizza oven so pretty easy to make. Few weeks ago the local Hy-Vee had those "Lottza Mozza" premium frozen pizzas on sale so bought a few. Not impressed for the price even on sale. Wife likes Jack's or Tombstone so those are the ones usually in the freezer for a quick meal.
My preference is Red Baron but the wife seems to forget that when picking out frozen pizza.

Pizza Hut buffet is the cheapest lunch in town. Only problem is it’s terrible. I just can’t hardly hack it.
Don’t know what it was but last night wife made frozen pizza. I assume it came from Sams or Aldis. It was very good. If I think of it I’ll ask her when I get home.

Jacks pizza just to thin on toppings so I do have them as a base but add a small can of mushrooms, extra pizza sauce, if i have a can of stewed tomato slices add some of them, then top it off with extra motzerella chese - have to bake it another 15 minutes or so but then it makes a meal .

As far as buyin a slice goes, the Sams clubs, around here aint bad. I usedta call the 3 meat one, kibbles and bits, cause that yellowish sausage made it look like dog food! Anyways, they have got better, $2.64 fer a slice the size of 2 normal slices, anna large fountain drink! Can't beat that, anywhere, around this area!
