    Does anyone else find frozen pizzas from the supermarkets to be horrible and bland? Personally feel the only decent pizza is from a takeaway or restaurant.

    If you must go the way of frozen pizza may I suggest 4 cheeses, it's hard to mess that up, and then buy some decent ham and mushrooms and apply them yourself.

    Someone was watching BBC 2 earlier with their how pizzas are made programme.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Aldi and Lild do lovely ones. But the frozen ones are 1/4 of the price of takeaway ones or even less so you have to adjust your expectations!

    Man after my own heart, but it's lardons and jalapenos for me. Chicago town takeaway for life....

    I get the cheese pizzas, and add some Lea and perrins , some Italian herb, and whatever is in the fridge... Mushrooms, peppers, onion, pineapple, sweet corn, ham, pepperoni, some extra cheese or mozerela.... Whatever is there.

    The best frozen pizza is the one you pick up at 3am from Spar on the way home from town, bung it in the oven, stay awake to take it out of the oven 5 minutes before it's ready, fold it in half and stuff it in yer face!

    You clearly have never had a Chicago Town frozen pizza. Try the tomato stuffed crust pepperoni one it's delicious.

    Never heard of that. Most people just get a chipper from my experience

    OP probably hasn't cooked it right.
    Like not letting the oven pre-heat for 10 mins first.

    Depends what frozen pizza it is. They have grown on me. Prefer them to the really thin ones our local pizza place does

    Yeah I often buy frozen pizza but have never really liked most of them. I've taken to getting my pizzas made up at a supermarket nowadays. Either that or I order them from a takeaway.

    Carlos' spinach and ricotta form Aldi is the biz man for 2 quid. They also have jars of grated hard parmesan in from time to time, keep one of those handy to sprinkle on.

    With frozen pizzas the key is not to overcook.

    The delux / specailly selected ones found in the fridge in supervalu or aldi are actually pretty decent , just add a bit of fresh rocket or mushroom and they are a good inexpensive choice.

    Cheese pizzas are ok. It's when there is loads of toppings on that it just doesn't work, with the exception of pepperoni. Also I hate onions on a pizza, onions and dough, yummy.

    You do have to defrost them first.
