- I tried pizza with frozen cheese from Digiorno, Amy’s, Newman’s Own, Red Baron and Tombstone.
- The tombstone pizza was simply ok, and the pizza crust of Amy was not crisp enough, in my opinion.
- Overall, Newman’s pizza had the perfect balance of flavors, plus a tasty crust.
The frozen pizza is quite popular at the moment, especially in the midst of many economic anxieties. But with so many options there, who is actually the best to pick up at the grocery store?
To find out, I tasted frozen pizzas from five different brands: Digiorno, Amy’s, Newman’s Own, Red Baron and Tommstone.
For consistency, I chose a cheese pizza of each brand and prepared each pie in the oven after the instructions found on the respective plans.
Since I examined these pizzas, prices have changed (and vary according to the region and the store), but pies on this list generally cost between $ 4.50 and $ 14.
Read the rest to see how these frozen cheese pizzas stacked and what was my favorite.
The first pizza I tried was the five -crush pie from Tombstone.

The pizza of tombstone is the only one not to have come to a box. Instead, it was wrapped in plastic with a circular cardboard base.
Cooking directions, ingredients and nutritional facts were printed on a sticker attached to the narrowing plateau, which I accidentally thrown in my haste (and recovered later).
This pizza announces five different types of cheese – Mozzarella, Cheddar, Parmesan, Asiago and Romano – and a buttered and crisp crust.
After 17 minutes of cooking, the crust was crisp and the cheese was golden brown on the edges.

The cooking directions recommended cooking this pizza for 17 to 19 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, but I did not end up needing cooking time.
He looked beautifully golden and clear after only 17 minutes. This pizza was very in the middle of the road for me, and the crust, the crisp level and the overall flavors were simply ok.
My husband, who also tasted these pizzas, said this Tombstone pie made him nostalgic because it was the brand of choice of his family when he was a child.
He suggested that cutting additional trim and cooking them in the cheese would considerably improve the taste of this pizza (or maybe we should just try a Tomstone pie with topping next time).
The second pizza I tried was from Digiborno, and she had a rising crust.

I couldn’t help but hear the brand’s slogan – “It’s not delivery, it’s Digiorno!” – In my head while I picked up this frozen pizza.
Digiorno had different types of crusts available in my grocery store, but I went with the crust up because it seemed the most standard.
This pizza has a four strawberry mixture of mozzarella, parmesan, Asago and Romano; The same cheeses on the graffian jelly pizza, minus the cheddar.
Although the other pizzas I tried were wrapped, Digiornno came in “freshness wrap” which was easier to remove from the packaging.
I was able to cut around the seal and simply lift the plastic pizza rather than making strategic cuts through the narrowing tray to eliminate the frozen pie without disturbing the cheese and obtaining it everywhere in my kitchen.
The pizza filled my kitchen with a pleasant and fresh aroma.

The boxes on the box called to cook pizza in the oven for 19 to 22 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. I took out the pizza after 21 minutes because it looked perfect.
However, everything was not perfect while this pie was in the oven. During the cooking of the pizza, the side began to slip between the oven grids.
I chose to open the oven and intervene, but to judge by the appearance of the final crust (which was rather inflated), the question would probably be corrected during the increasing phase.
Overall, I appreciated the thick crust of the pizza with Digiorno cheese, which had a yeast flavor and managed to be soft and crisp at the same time.
The cheese tended to slide a little of the pizza while I was taking bites, but I was not too crazy because the pie had a lot. The thick consistency of the sauce was also pleasant.
Then I tried the four cheese pizza from Red Baron.

Red Baron’s classic crust pizza with four cheese is garnished with mozzarella, cheddar, Provolone and Parmesan.
When it was cooked, it was not the most beautiful pizza, but it had a solid taste.

After the packaging instructions, I cooked this pizza in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 minutes of the 21 recommended, because I saw the crust and the cheese had already gilded for my taste.
In terms of flavor, the more orange pieces of cheese have provided a striking and tasty contrast with the rest of the mixture. Like the previous two pies, there was no distinction when the cheese and the sauce stretched at the edges of the pizza.
Even so, I appreciated the slim and crispy crust and salty cheese (of which there was a large quantity).
My husband said that, in terms of general flavor, this pizza did not have the “taste of iced pizza” distinct that the others had, and that has so far been his favorite.
The penultimate pie came from Amy.
Abigail Abesamis
Made with organic flour and tomatoes, Amy’s frozen pizza also has a hand -stretched wheat crust. It is simply garnished with mozzarella cheese.
The quick cooking time of the pizza and the tangy tomato sauce were great, but the texture dropped me.

I cooked Amy’s Pizza in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for just over 12 minutes of the 14 recommended. I appreciated that it was cooked to a perfect golden finish so quickly.
The first thing I noticed by eating a slice was that the tomato sauce, which had an acid flavor, dominated the general taste. I appreciated the sauce, but I was disappointed with the lack of cheesy flavor and the spongy texture of the crust.
Although the other slices of pizza closed with their crisp crusts, this pizza has somehow failed in my hand.
The last pie that I tried was Newman’s four -cheese pizza.
Abigail Abesamis
Avoid flavors, colors or artificial preservatives, Newman’s own pizza is made with a multi -picked crust and garnished with a mixture with four mozzarella cheese, cheddar, parmesan and asiago.
I noticed that it was the same cheeses used on several of the other pizzas, like the tombstone (which also had Romano cheese) and Digiornno.
After a little less than 12 minutes, the cheese was hot and sparkling.

When I glance at the oven towards the end of the recommended cooking time, which was 10 to 12 minutes in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit, the cheese was hot and super loot.
This pizza checked all the boxes: a crunchy crust; Finders and perfectly salty cheese that did not slip when I bite into my edge; and a tasty sauce dotted with herbs.
All these pizzas had strengths, although I think some also had small problems.
Abigail Abesamis
Although a touch too bland for me, the tombstone pizza offers eaters the opportunity to be creative with the fillings and to make their own.
The pizza digiorno had a soft and levale crust that I appreciated, even if I had problems with the cheese that slipped the edge while I take it.
The pizza of Red Baron had a solid taste, but I didn’t like that he had no distinct crust.
The tart of Amy had a tangy sauce that I appreciated, but the other elements of the pizza were bland, however – and the texture was too spongy for my taste.
However, I did not find any defects with the perfect Newman pizza.
For me, the big winner was Newman’s pizza.
Abigail Abesamis
In addition to having the shortest cooking time (just under 12 minutes), this pizza also had a great flavor and excellent texture.
In addition, there was a separate crust – something that many of the other frozen pizzas lacked – and stringy and salty cheese that did not slip pizza when I bit.
However, at the end of the day, you really can’t go wrong with any of these frozen pizzas, because each of them produces a cheese meal that is ready in a short time.
