    Frozen pizzas are… quite the range. Some are legitimately a pathetic excuse that barely approximates the concept of a pizza. Some are pretty good, not great but not bad.

    In ether case I can’t imagine eating one multiple nights in a row.

      Same, and it’s always worth it adding cheese on top.

      In any case, there are other kinds of cheap, relatively decent foods out there. It shouldn’t be hard to have variation even on a budget. Not ideal, but not nearly as grim as frozen pizza every day.

        The crazy thing is, frozen pizzas aren’t that cheap. Like, they’re not super expensive, but hardly eating on a budget.

          There are frozen pizzas near me (a relatively expensive food area, for America), that cost $1.25 (~17c an ounce) and have almost 500 calories. I’m not advocating for the frozen pizza diet at all but that level of price/calorie ratio is pretty impressive.

            The cheapest at my local super market is 4 bucks for the same.

            … you wouldn’t happen to be living in the mid west would you? Frozen pizza is notoriously cheap there due to supply chain reasons.

              I live in Montana which isn’t quite the Midwest, but close. I checked my previous store in coastal California to see if that was what was making the difference, and the pizza is the same price there - Kroger branded $1.25 (Ralph’s in CA, Smith’s in MT)

      I’d say even the pretty good ones can be great not the best pizza but like legitimately quite good if you get a pizza stone I think a large chunk of the problem with frozen pizza is regular ovens just don’t cook them that well and the pizza stone largely fixes that
