Digiorno Flatbread Melts

I wish I liked to eat it, it would make my life a lot easier. There is just nothing about meat that makes me want to eat it; the smell, the taste, the texture, the look... all are repulsive for me. Shit sucks, it's like I'm not even human.

If the taste and texture were so repulsive, there wouldn't be so many vegan meat imitations!

And honestly... it just doesn't taste the same when there's no murder involved.

 

[Ennui]

I can't wait for the first time I kill my meat (besides a fish). Taking your dinner all the way from a living wild animal down to cooked meat and then eating it sounds awesome to me.

Not to me. I'm perfectly content eating it, but if I have to see it killed, or I have to kill it myself, I won't be able to touch it.

I'm a pussy carnivore.

 

[Warped]

stop maiking me hungry at 4am

Yeah really. If I go up to a person on the street, stab em to death, and then eat them raw, its delicious. But if I'm walking down the street the next day, and someone has a heart attack and dies right there, it tastes horrible raw. Then you have to bring the body home, season it, boil it, and then put it in the oven. And then it's still nasty tasting.

It's one of the best experiences I've had, tbh. I went boar hunting with my grandfather in Georgia. After we caught one I had to get rid of all the hair by boiling it in a 55 gallon drum, slice it down the stomach, clean out the guts, cut off the head, bury that stuff, and start cutting it for dinner. After I had to do about 3-4 of them it became a science.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Did you eat the balls?

 

[Kamikazie]

Of course, I put them on top my my spaghetti.

 

[FrostedxB]

Hot Pocket Calzones are nasty. Try them if you enjoy gooey cheese/pepperoni/special orange sauces dripping onto the plate and kinda oozing around. Love Digiorno pizza though, may have to try these.

Digiorno pizza is NOT better than delivery.

Is it better than the crap you usually find frozen? Yes. Is it better than delivery? Hell no!

For 5 bucks I usually would rather order something delivered.

What can you get delivered for 5 bucks that's as much food as a frozen pizza? About the cheapest thing I can think is a basic sandwich or wrap with no frills attached, anything other than that is going to be more than $5, especially delivered...

 

[Rico]

Ah by delivered I meant bought from a chain, not exactly "delivered". It's about the same effort as going to the store to buy it though.

My local pizza place has some very cheap pizza (and also really good)

Pizz Hut has those Pizza Mia things, Dominos I believe has something similar (but they suck) Papa Johns does not, I don't think.

Most food chains are pushing the "5 dollar meal" stuff nowadays.

 

[VirusType2]

It's similar but it's not the same. Meat has parts like gristle, fat, veins, and chips of bone in it.

It's pretty close to being as good as delivery though, if you cook it right.

I used to have connections at Papa John's and more recently at Domino's where I could get Pizzas for $5. Of course, I used to get free Pizza all the time working at Pizza Hut when I was younger.

Aawww the pizza memories and good times I am fond of.

 

[Tacoeaterguy]

5$ eh? Go to pizza hut, and pick up one of these ass sandwiches.
They probably taste like crap. I hate the f***ing comercials for them.

 

[Anthraxxx]

I ****ing LOVE the meaty P'zone.

 

[Tacoeaterguy]

I've never actually had one. Do they taste like scrotum, or ass?

 

[Sedako]

I've never actually had one. Do they taste like scrotum, or ass?

I'm pretty sure they taste like awesome. I love pizza hut.

 

[Tacoeaterguy]

I agree, Pizza Hut pizza is good. Anything else I've eaten there was horrible. I just had the Panormous Pizza a couple weeks ago, and that was pretty good.

You sir have bad taste. Unless you're talking about a real, non coprorate chain pizza place, then you are dead wrong. Pizza hut pizza is trash, same with dominos. Papa Johns is the only large chain that is tolerable, but I still wouldnt get it over Digiornos.

 

[Rico]

I'm sorry, but anyone who says that frozen pizza is better than ANY fresh bakes pizza has no taste.

Digiorno is the better of the frozen pizzas, along with freschetta, but to even compare it to anything made fresh is ridiculous.

Marketing works really well on some people I guess!

 

[Stigmata]

I don't think you've ever been to Pizza Pizza.

 

[Rico]

I'm under the impression we're talking about the best "delivery" pizza you can get for 5 bucks.

My point is, you can get much better pizza for 5+ bucks (Digiorno here is usually MORE than 5 bucks regular price) than their frozen stuff.

You're going from frozen, truck shipped pizza made in a factory and baked in your shitty stove oven to delivery pizza where they have pizza ovens, they are put together on the fly, and in general use fresher ingredients.

But really, it's a personal choice. I was just flabbergasted to hear anyone had a differing opinion in that regard. I always just assumed everyone thought delivery pizza was better than anything frozen you could get.

 

[Ennui]

I dunno, I REALLY enjoy the taste of both Digiorno's and Freschetta's, and I'd probably take them over Papa John's any day, but I'd say Dominos and Pizza Hut are about on the same level, and non-chain pizzerias are way way above all of that.

 

[Dalamari]

P'zones are tasty, but they will kill you

****ing crazy shit

Who delivers pizza for 5$? Dominos is like $12-$15 and then there's the tip. Digorno is $6 here.

You're going from frozen, truck shipped pizza made in a factory and baked in your shitty stove oven to delivery pizza where they have pizza ovens, they are put together on the fly, and in general use fresher ingredients.

The pizza chain ingredients like the meats are stored frozen as well. Except vegetables, they are refrigerated.

Also, an oven is an oven. It's hot air. I've worked Pizza hut, they just use hot air on a conveyor belt. There is no difference to be had here.

Anyway, these frozen pizzas are assembled with arguably fresher ingredients that probably aren't sitting out all day long in a hot kitchen. The storage is refrigerated from the bottom in a restaurant and the meat and topings become discolored over the course of a day. A frozen pizza is most likely assembled in a refrigerated room.

But really, it's a personal choice. I was just flabbergasted to hear anyone had a differing opinion in that regard. I always just assumed everyone thought delivery pizza was better than anything frozen you could get.

Digorno is definitely competitive with Dominos taste, and kicks it's ass in price. A comparably sized/topped Dominos pizza is more than twice the cost.

My favorite major Pizza chains are Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, then Little Ceasar's I guess (did they go under?).

 

[Rico]

Dominoes is not good pizza.

Delivery places will let you go pick up the pizza, and I already answered the questions you brought up before in a prior post (in this page, too).

An oven is NOT just hot air. You sir, are in dire need of cooking lessons!

Frozen pizza is assembled in a factory, by machines. The pizza is then frozen and shipped.

Does fresh bread taste the same when it comes out of the oven at a bakery as it does when you bake one of those frozen loaves at home? No! Ovens make a HUGE difference in baking, as does the freshness of the dough!

 

[Ennui]

then Little Ceasar's I guess (did they go under?).

Nope, there are still one or two of them around here.

 

[Krynn72]

I didnt get your sarcasm until now.

Delivery places will let you go pick up the pizza, and I already answered the questions you brought up before in a prior post (in this page, too).

The only question I had was rhetorical. "Who sells pizza for $5?". Nobody does, except for perhaps a rare promotional sale, usually requiring you to buy more than one pizza, and usually a tip of a few dollars is expected. Besides, Digorno and Freschetta go on sale as well.

I delivered pizzas at Padrinos and occasionally received a tip as much as $20.

Yes, you can go pick it up, but that is no longer considered delivery, of which we were comparing it to! "It's not Delivery, it's Digorno's."

Still, the point would remain. It's going to cost about twice the price even if you pick it up.

Then, by the time you pick it up and get it home, it's all ****ed up and cool and soggy unless you have it delivered in a special bag.

An oven is NOT just hot air. You sir, are in dire need of cooking lessons!

Wow, an insult must mean that you are right.

I've cooked professionally for a long time in over 20 restaurants - nothing spectacular, but what are you a master chef?

Ovens make a HUGE difference in baking

Pizza chains like Pizza Hut, Dominos, Papa Johns, and all the others - they all use conveyor ovens. The cooking method has absolutely no difference from an oven at home. Marketing works really well on some people I guess!

We aren't comparing fancy restaurants here that use brick, stone, or grilling methods here. We are comparing frozen pizza to a major Pizza chain's pizza. Are you even reading this?

Frozen pizza is assembled in a factory, by machines. The pizza is then frozen and shipped.

While most ingredients like sausage are placed by machines, toppings like pepperoni are hand placed.

Really what difference does it really make in terms of taste? It's going to taste the same regardless of who or what put it there. Some frozen pizzas use raw toppings and some use pre-cooked toppings, which would also affect the taste of the final cooked product.

Does fresh bread taste the same when it comes out of the oven at a bakery as it does when you bake one of those frozen loaves at home? No! Ovens make a HUGE difference in baking, as does the freshness of the dough!

I worked at 3 different Pizza Huts for a total of about 2 or 3 years along with other Italian restaurants. The dough is prepared in advance, sometimes by days. It is then stored in a refrigerator. The other pizza chains do the exact same thing, I swear I know what I'm talking about. The exception being the hand-tossed crust at Papa Johns.

 

[Krynn72]

Virus, didn't you get that he was being sarcastic? Obviously he was, because everyone who has ever gone into a Dominoes or pizza hut sees the employees pull dough out of a fridge and then cut open pre packaged meats/vegetables.

Obviously.

 

[Rico]

Lollerskates dough made 1 month ago with ingredients spewed out from a machine and baked in your oven > dough made days in advance and cooked in industrial grade ovens. of course they make the dough in advance, have you ever made Pizza dough before? It takes hours, not 5 minutes.

Enjoy your pizza. By the way, last time I checked they didn't deliver DiGiorno to your door SO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING TO PICK UP THE PIZZA?? Are the grocery stores in your area delivering this pizza to you?

Also, if you truly believe toppings are "hand placed" in your frozen pizza you must be blind. have you even looked at these things before you eat them? I've opened DiGiorno pizzas where all the toppings were scattered haphazardly in one corner of the pizza. Same for all other brands.

Your credentials are very nice, it's good to see you can read simple recipes handed to you at your local restaurant.

Mine: My name is Bobby Flay

PS: Little Ceasar's Pizza is better than digiorno. Pizza Hut's Pizza Mia's is better than digiorno. Both of those are 5 bucks. My local pizza place has great pizza for 6 bucks, which is the price DiGiorno usually sells for. They are also about 2 blocks from my house so I can just walk there and pick it up. You know, whenever I'm not at Iron Chef making pizzas out of squid ink.

1) Pizza chains have machines that mix the dough.

What did you think some minimum wage teenager is in there, hand mixing flour and water, carefully using his own recipes and taking a taste to be sure it's perfect? LOL

2) It makes no difference in the taste whether a human mixed it or a machine. Does a human hand somehow bless the dough and toppings with extra flavor or something?

3) What makes you think restaurant dough is fresh and a factory that makes frozen pizza uses 1 month old dough?

The difference between time mixed and the time before making the pizza is probably less in a factory, let's be honest here. In fact, it's most likely continuously mixed as the pizzas are made.

Enjoy your pizza. By the way, last time I checked they didn't deliver DiGiorno to your door SO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING TO PICK UP THE PIZZA?? Are the grocery stores in your area delivering this pizza to you?

I'm not complaining about having to pick up the pizza, I'm saying that if you pick it up, it ends up cooled, with most of the cheese slid to one side by the time you get home. It's a valid point. This is why I don't get carry out any more. Of course it depends on the distance, but either way, I'd rather eat one that just came out of the oven, rather than spending 15-45 minutes sitting in a car, wouldn't you?

Your credentials are very nice, it's good to see you can read simple recipes handed to you at your local restaurant.

I'm explaining why I know how pizza chain pizza is made due to working there.

I won't say you lied, it was probably a misconception, saying the dough was freshly made, the ovens somehow provided superior heating process, etc.

Little Ceasar's Pizza is better than digiorno. Pizza Hut's Pizza Mia's is better than digiorno. Both of those are 5 bucks.

It's a matter of opinion which is better. The difference is, you made up a bunch of stories about the quality of a pizza chain pizza, while saying - here I'll just quote you:

I'm sorry, but anyone who says that frozen pizza is better than ANY fresh bakes pizza has no taste.

to even compare it to anything made fresh is ridiculous.

Marketing works really well on some people I guess!

Finally, they aren't $5. Like I already said, it's part of a promotional deal. You must buy 3 or more Pizza Hut pizzas to get the Pizza Hut deal.

And little Caesars?

Little Caesars features specialty HOT-N-READY® pizzas from time to time. Contact your local Little Caesars restaurant for their current offerings.

A limited time offer. A promotional deal, just like I said.

Personally, I prefer Totino's frozen pizzas because they are about $1 and taste pretty damn good.

My local pizza place has great pizza for 6 bucks

This is not a major pizza chain, try again.

So lets look at the differences between major pizza chain pizzas and frozen pizzas.

- 'Frozen pizza' features freshly made pizzas from frozen and refrigerated toppings that are then vacuum sealed with shrink wrap, frozen, and boxed.

- Pizza chains feature freshly made pizzas from frozen and refrigerated ingredients. The meat is shipped in plastic bags and stored frozen. The vegetables are shipped pre-chopped in plastic bags and stored refrigerated. The difference is, you get lots of flies coming from the toilet area in the restaurant and landing on the toppings. The pizzas are then cooked on a metal conveyor belt under an oven that uses HOT AIR, and placed in a card board box. Then they spend some time in a car as the toppings cool and congeal. All of the ingredients were frozen or refrigerated prior to cooking. Hey! That's kinda like a frozen pizza!

I suppose you thought the ingredients were freshly grown in an organic garden out back, and then diced lovingly in the kitchen and placed straight onto the pizza with the care of a brain surgeon!



Fine Print: Based on the weighted average non-promotional price and delivery charge of the 3 leading national delivery pizzas in 10 leading markets.

True, the delivery cost is optional if you pick yours up at the restaurant. The thing is, with Digorno, you can store several of them in your freezer, where for carry-out, you'd have to go back to the restaurant each time you want one.

Sucks for you dude, going 80 mph and slamming the brakes in a convertible >_>
I'm like 2 minutes from any of 3 big names. We got a buy one get one free card for a year for Papa Johns

 

[unozero]

how much are these pizzaas you speak of?
do they take very long to make?

 

[DEATHMASTER]

5-10 minutes to preheat to 450, 10-15 minutes to bake.

 

[VirusType2]

I'm serious, what do you put the pizza on your seat or the floor or in the trunk. Gross.

I love Papa Johns, it's definitely my favorite of the major chains, but I also love a local place that used to have large pizzas for $8.50. The price went up to $9.99 recently, unfortunately. They are extremely greasy (like mall pizza slices) but really good.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Lap or car seat.
