This would have been mid to late 90s. I want to say Pillsbury made it and it came in an either a black or dark green box with maybe the same color pattern trim. Possibly some white and red mixed in. Pretty sure the name started with a "P". My head is telling me "Popingos", but I know that's a convenience store. I remember it being really good, but it didn't last very long.

What size was it?

Was it the size totino`s used to be when it was round or a bigger pizza like Tombstone, Red Baron?

That's it! I was close. Thanks.

I watched the YouTube video. They must have rebranded a bit since 91. Strange, I can't find the box from the late 90s anywhere on Google images.

Motor City is the best frozen pizza hands down. I love it.

I miss the old school Totino`s. The few i`ve tried recently, have not tasted the same that they have for years. The cheese hardly melts.

I liked Jeno`s also for a cheap fix

Whatever happened to the Reggio's butter crust frozen pizzas?

They were legit.

Are you preheating the oven, or putting it in there then turning the oven on? I've found on some frozen things it actually cooks more evenly if I turn the oven on as I'm putting the food in. Most frozen pizzas I cook this way, on a cast iron baking sheet, and the crust comes out great. We've got an electric oven, and when it is preheating, both the top and bottom elements are on, where once it has heated all the way, only the top element will cycle on and off to keep the temp.

Foil on top, for the last 5 minutes to crisp the bottom and not burn the top

I follow the instructions all the way. I've tried three times and only once has it come out correctly. I think that the time it did was because I brought it home from the store and had it on the counter for a bit. So I'm thinking completely frozen doesn't work as well as a bit defrosted ? The instructions say to keep it in its pan w/o another pan/cooking sheet.
