I'm starting to like Newman's Own brand, it says its whole grain though I haven't inspected the ingrediants list much... Digiorno tastes like sugar bread :grimace:

Pizza Hut looks like play-doh. I like Domino's

Favorite frozen or take out pizza?

Local places?

    Neither, I make my own using dough from the deli. That way my sons can have theirs with whatever they want and I can do a pizza topping casserole.

    I make all of my own pizza now, which is just way better than anything you can get from the store or restaurant. I make my own dough, sauce, use only high quality ingredients, and the secret ingredient is using the grill instead of the oven. :)

    If I was forced into it, I guess DiGiorno's Spicy Chicken Supreme. Pizza Margarita from Zeek's. It has been like 5-6 years since I have had national chain pizza. I remember liking Pizza Hut's handtossed Veggie Lovers.

    I use my breadmaker to make me a bunch of dough. Half is rolled flat in to my own pizza crust, which is frozen for when the pizza fairy comes calling.

    The other half is made in to rolls and baked the same day.

    If I had to choose a pre-made pizza this is my only low carb option:

    Otherwise it's all 100% homemade pizza for me! I've made fathead pizza, cauliflower pizza and flattened out a chicken breast and put pizza toppings on that, lol. Fathead pizza is by far my favorite variation yet. I want to try making pizza using a low carb tortilla too, that seems like an easy option :)

    There are a couple of really good pizza places that are just local joints. But if I want to save money, I'll get a papa johns and freeze the leftovers. It heats up really well in the oven!

    There is a local chain in Columbia called Shakespeare's Pizza and it is amazing! Otherwise dominos is always good if you're craving pizza and want something cheap and quick. My favorite frozen pizza is Home Run Inn (which they don't sell in Columbia - maybe it's a Chicago thing!).
    Homemade is good too, although I always have issues with the dough not cooking in the middle, but that is probably because I put too many toppings on it!

    I just love pizza :)

    I will happily eat any delivered pizza. :) But Hubby and I rarely order it so I do not remember which local places are best. Every one we had was good.

    I'd probably have that problem, I love toppings :love:

    I like Round Table and Mountain Mikes. Usually go for chicken and garlic sauce pizza.

    Papa Murphys thin crust Delite pizzas are yummy. Angus beef is my go to, but chicken garlic & Thai chicken chili are also good and not too bad calorie-wise.

    For frozen, the thin crust Aldi take & bake pizzas are good and won't kill the calorie budget.

    I often top either of these with extra veggies before baking.

    In Jersey City, we have Krispy Pizza. Their best pie is their square "Grandma" pizza!
    Just a cheese/sauce pie with basil. The sauce is so tasty! I've been known to save my calories so I can eat half a pie!

    Ceasar's $6 large pepperoni pizza.

    I can eat 1/2 of one w/2-3 beers (about 1500 cals) in one sitting.

    It's one of the reasons that I gained weight the last time and the reason I haven't touched another one in the past 4 months. ;)

    My favorite frozen pizza is Palermo's bacon, spinach and feta: http://www.palermospizza.com/our-pizza/primo-thin/uncured-bacon-spinach-feta-pizza.

    Red Baron frozen pizzas if I want thin/crunchy crust; Jack's rising if I want something softer.

    As for takeout - we have a Blaze Pizza that I can hit on the way home from work. 12-inch thin crust pizzas that are cooked in a stone/brick oven. Less than 800 cals for the whole pizza makes me a happy young lady.

    Yum yum.

    My favorite frozen pizza is DiGiorno's Thin & Crispy Tomato Mozzarella with Pesto. I keep a few in my freezer at all times.
    My favorite delivery pizza is Dominos thin crust pizza with light cheese, pineapple, spinach, and mushrooms.

    For frozen I like Freschetta best of the few I've tried.

    For take out we always order from one of 2 local places, both of which are excellent but different. I can't remember the last time I had a pizza from a national chain but I've always thought they were all okay but not great. There is no delivery where we live so if we are going to drive out for pizza it has to be worth the trip.

    All frozen pizza sucks...so do pizza chains. There are two local joints here that I go to or get take out from when we're having pizza.

    If I had a gun to my head and someone said pick, then I would opt for Delissio brand, the Vintage ones. The base is thick enough to hold the toppings, but not so thick as to be doughy. Like so many others, I make pizza at home, but I buy the prepared crusts and then add on the toppings. We always have a couple of those crusts in the freezer for those wtf days. Caramelized onions, chicken and mushrooms are a great combo with whtever cheese you like, or I make one with ground beef, tomatoes and mushrooms thats really filling.

    All frozen pizzas tastes like cardboard :confounded: However i have been converted... Dr Oetker pepperoni is really good, i add a few mushrooms and it's perfect. My hubby and i go halves and have a side salad with it, and it is only around 420 calories for 1/2 a pizza plus the negligible salad cals, which is plenty filling. When we order domino's etc i end up eating closer to 1000 calories!

    About once a year. Mineo's. Both very expensive and very high calorie. But oh so gooey cheesey good. (they put the toppings under the cheese.)

    Take out favorite. Vocelli's build your own. Thin crust. Red sauce, mozzarella, spinach, mushroom, artichoke and sausage.

    I also admit to loving Hawaiian pizza.

    Yep, if we're not going to go to Dominos, that's what we have! :)

    I have a whole pepperoni (as seen in the photo) and he has a tandori chicken or some other flavour.

    I'd sell a body part for a Happy Joe's Special. I never would have believed when someone told me that there was a pizza that was Canadian Bacon and Saurkraut, and that it was amazing, but it is.

    I'd sell a smaller body part for a decent sausage and green olive pizza. Sigh.

    I've never found a frozen pizza I'd cross the road for.

    We generally do Domino's for convenience (there's a shop right outside our neighborhood, so it's quick to get to or get to us), though we tried a nearby Papa Murphy's and were supper pleased with them. We may be making that our usual pizza place.

    When we do frozen, it's Screamin' Sicilian all the way. They've got some amazing pizzas and we've yet to meet one of their pizzas that we didn't love.
