Currently chomping on my emergency pizza… almost lasted a week in the freezer.
Who buys one frozen pizza?
Me because my freezer is small
Consider investing in a bigger freezer.
You can get a good one new for under $200.00 It’ll end up paying for itself in a few months if you order in a lot. I like to cook up a huge pot of chili/soup/stew and freeze it in pint size containers. Instead of ordering in, I can have something I like fast.
Rentoids need not apply
5 cubic feet of storage for under $200.00 Apx 1.5 cubic meters. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Magic-Chef-5-0-cu-ft-Chest-Freezer-in-White-HMCF5W4/311895690
I’ve seen these installed in vans. Not mobile homes, vans.
I wonder how quickly (especially with extra electricity) that is actually going to pay itself back
It would depend on how often OP orders food in. Also, they don’t run 24/7. Once stuff reaches the set temperature the motor stops. Another advantage is bulk buying. If butter is on sale you can buy a lot and freeze it. Same thing for staples like chicken. The unit works less when you fill it up because the cold food stays cold in the insulated box.
My usual pattern is to cook a 5 litre pot of soup or stew and freeze in in pint size size containers. Or you can make spaghetti sauce and freeze it in smaller containers. Tight now I’ve got lentil soup and chili sitting in my freezer. Takes about 7 minutes to cook in the microwave.
Also, and this is just because I live in a neighborhood with an abundance of Italian food stores, I get a lot of precooked or ready to cook meals at the store and freeze them.
I was thinking more power use averaged over time. But yeah there’s a lot of factors in calculating something like that.
I’m a freezer hoarder myself (mostly stuff I bought cheap, close to expiration) but I just have the bottom part of a typical European fridge (not double-wide) to use. Fills up pretty quickly but with the shape pizzas are, you can load up a shitload of those bad boys in an otherwise “full” fridge with some elbow grease.
I buy a frozen pizza so I have something to eat when I have a hangover. Surprise surprise
Sadly frozen pizza tends to not have good crusts. The only exception I’ve found was interestingly enough the cheapest of pizzas, the Totinos Party Pizzas.
Frozen French bread pizza can be acceptable in terms of crust.
Sometimes I think about getting pizza hut, then I remember it costs 36$ for 2 pizzas, so I just go to the store for two 6$ pizzas
The smartest thing is to buy the dough, sauce, and mozzarella yourself for $18. …wait-
I like the totinos party packs. You can fold them up like an extra large soft taco and fill it eith whatever you got on hand
How is pizza hut still in business
How many times do we need to tell you? No one out pizzas the hut.
Because, like many other fast food businesses, the prices have gone up across all of them.
Domino’s does 2+ medium 2 topping for $6-7 each. Or you can get chicken or other random things like tots and bread. Not the best in any category but not awful so if you just need to feed some people it’s good by volume . My local pizza places are significantly better quality and price.
Wait till Y’all find out 711 whole fresh pizza is better than Domino’s and pizza Hut and costs less and is faster than frozen…
Well, it would be faster if I didn’t need to drive 4 hours for a 7/11, but I get ya.
Still better than me, I’d need to catch a flight
If you fly spirit, it still might be cheaper
There are people in this world who have seriously tried to sell me on the idea that frozen pizza is just as good as delivery.
And those people worry me.
How about this argument. Just a quality ratio.
2 large delivery pizzas, to the door: $50 all in. $25per
2 good quality frozen pizzas: $12. $6 per
So we could say that delivery is four TIMES better… and based on price/quality alone… they’re equal to frozen.
(I think we all know I’m not proposing an actual serious argument. But the cost difference is wild)
Laughs in Italian, where 50 euros would buy you 7 delivery pizzas. I feel really sorry for you people
4 pepperoni, 1 sausage, 1 cheese is $40.94 here (subtotal) if you pick it up. That’s Little Caesars though, so… The pickier you are, the higher the cost. People who pay $25 for a pizza usually chose to buy something nice and or paid delivery and 5 other fees.
It’s best for everyone that we just accept that they are two different pizza concepts, and should not be ranked between each other.
I say that I like “garbage pizza” because that’s how everyone around me treats the pizzas I like. I don’t like the “good pizzas” that everyone keeps raving about. I’ll take Domino’s or Pizza Pizza any day of the week.
That’s 100% true. Same with frozen. Sometimes I just want some air fried digornos, not anything that was made with love shudder
Oh there are many more than two
You’ve got your classics: Neapolitan, NY, Chicago, Detroit
Then you’ve got the modern day extra categories: frozen, thin crust, kebab shop pizza & domino’s (there’s probably more I’m forgetting right now)
Yes Domino’s is its own category, if you’re craving Domino’s, no other pizza will do it and if you’re craving any other kind of pizza, Domino’s isn’t gonna hit right.
Also Papa John’s is not pizza, just round disappointment.
I am embarrassed to say that I like thin crust papa johns, but only if it’s cold…? Although, I’ve only eaten it while hungover, so it’s obviously a crap “pizza” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I mean, depends on the frozen pizza. 99% of them are worse, but there’s one brand I get at wally world for like $7 a pizza that is better than 99% of the pizza I can order (and we have some pretty solid pizza joints around here).
Had to quit getting them though because they’re like 6000 kcal.
Pfft, I always buy a frozen pizza specifically because I already know I’m not gonna feel like cooking after grocery shopping because it sucks. I don’t even pretend anymore. All that fresh food is for another day.
I specifically buy easy dinner stuff while.im out shopping for the same reason. I spent an hour getting food so now imma take it easy and eat this mac and chicken strips from the deli.
Last one i bought held out for 60 days before i threw it in the fire
