re: Best frozen pizza

Tombstone -pepperoni

This beats them all. They were 50 cents when on sale.

Digiorno should be listed in the worst frozen pizza list.

These are the bomb

far and away the best - although red baron or Totinos if going super cheap. Costco Detroit pizza is also good but very greasy.

DiGiorno & Freschetta are best mass market pizzas

Kroger's sold these in the '90s



They have a special "butter crust". I won't claim they are the best, but they do have a unique taste

I haven't seen one in maybe 20 yrs

Sounds like I’ll have to try the Motor City pizza. Current favorite is California Pizza Kitchen Sicilian.

Friend,

There is not a single frozen pizza I would recommend over a fresh Domino’s pie, at least since 2010 when Domino’s changed its recipe, which is now reasonably good and the only conveyor belt pizza that is worth even ten calories of my stomach’s space.

However, the frozen pizza world changed in 2022. It was then, quite unexpectedly, that my dear friend, Anthony Mangieri, the greatest pizza maker in the history of pizza, was convinced to put his hands on the Genio Della (from the genius) line. I did not try Genio Della until about four months ago.

The backstory is on a visit to Una Pizza on the Lower East Side about a year ago, I mentioned to Anthony that I had not tried his frozen pies yet. He told me to check out the website to see if any grocers in New Orleans were selling them. I quickly checked and come to find out, they were not. So I begged Anthony, “Please send us some pizzas down in our pizza desert.”

He asked me which grocery would be best and I had to think about it. Sure, I considered Rouses, because it is closest, and Whole Foods on Magazine, because they are home to the best burgers in town. But ultimately, the Breaux Mart in Old Metairie on Severn came out of my mouth. I think my brain considered what the closest grocery store to Impastato’s, the greatest Italian restaurant in America, is. And perhaps, if I am considering my own depravity and bent to sin, I was trying, passive aggressively, to upset some of the New Orleans only snobs who hate having to travel to Metairie.

Anthony made it happen and I had my first Genio Della pie from Breaux Mart about four months ago. It was an excellent pie, far better than the ones I have tried frozen from Goldbelly, including those from Pequod’s, Gino’s East (gross), even John’s of Bleecker Street.

In the last three weeks, Anthony called me to tell me that Canseco’s is now carrying them at the Old Metairie location. Give a pie a try.



Yours,

P.S. The lack of Genio being mentioned in any other message is evidence no one here has tried it. Genio pizzas are on another level compared to the frozen pizzas mentioned here and even the ones from famous pizzerias sold and shipped by Goldbelly. Anthony has changed the frozen pizza landscape and the first bite of one you’ll taste the difference.

Sam's club brand cauliflower crust one is my current favorite
