re: Totino’s is the best frozen pizza out there

Torino’s does not suck, but if we’re talking cheap frozen pizzas I am rolling with the Red Baron and the Luftstreitkräfte til I die.

Did it used to be Jeno’s? I think so. I see they’re both General Mills.

In 1985, Paulucci sold Jeno's to Pillsbury, which owned Totino's pizza. In 1993, Jeno's Pizza was rebranded as Totino's Pizza.

General Mills owns Pillsbury

This is how you kick a totino pizza up 100 notches. Get the pepperoni then put extra pepperonis on it. Like, cover the whole pizza with pepperonis. Then bake the normal time but at the end switch the oven to broil and get those pepperonis cupped and charred. BEST EVER

I’ve tried most of the frozen pizzas and the cheap thin crust Jacks is my go to.

Add some diced jalapeños to it.

Totino's and I go way back, best fricking frozen pizza ever made. I like the pepperoni and these days a I like to add a little cheese and sprinkle some Chef Paul Prudhomme's pizza seasoning on it before throwing it in the oven.

That timeline looks about right gauging from my recall from HS through coming home from college and scarfing them down. Jenos from earlier and then Torino’s.

Any detail on how to cook that or just the obvious?

1. Take three bong rips of your preferred sativa
2. Have the Welcome to Jamrock album by Damian Marley playing
3. From frozen, stack them as seen in pic then bake for 10-13 minutes depending on how crisp you want them

So I typically like well done pizza with a char.

However, frozen pizza always seems to dry out the more well done it is.

So I’ve flipped it: frozen pizza I undercut recommended bake time by 15-20%. Waaay better. Remains suitably hydrated and doesn’t turn into dry cracker crust.

Wow, you are very wrong.
