Am I being overly suspicious?

Last time I bought pizza from a franchise place was Little Caesar's and that was 30yrs ago. You got two for the price of one at that time. Now I just buy DiGiorno or Red Baron at the market when they're on sale. Get plain cheese and add my own toppings.

In my Italian opinion the only difference in most pizzas is the crust and what ingredients are used to make it. One can hardly screw up what goes on top of the pizza.

Except PINEAPPLE!!!!! :eek:
 
All joking aside. I’d rather have a frozen pizza. Todays self rising crust pizza are pretty good. Especially the four cheese. I keep a couple in the freezer at the cabin.

Haven't done Red Baron or DiGiorno in years. Have to suggest that to my spousal unit.

BTW, we both love pineapple, so I assume I'm going find black Lincolns in my rear view mirror from now on....

That includes the water. Water out west is more alkaline than water in the east. Heard of one restaurant in L.A. that put in special equipment to treat the water to be like NYC tap water. The alkaline water is a higher pH and it affects the yeast's ability to do it's job right.
 
That's interesting. I've been trying to make my own custom pizzas instead of going out or buying frozen pizzas. How sturdy is a flour tortilla for holding all the sauce, cheese and meats?
Works fine for us, but it would depend on the tortilla. Normally used canned spaghetti sauce with pre-slced pepperoni and shredded cheese, usually mozzarella, but really any type you want. We use the large quesadilla flour tortillas but you can use any size.
 
I have made my own using frozen bread dough. You can buy frozen bread dough, they typically come in three packs. It's super cheap. They also make frozen pizza dough. But the bread dough is cheaper and easier to find. You have to thaw it and let it rise so this isn't a spur of the moment thing.

When it's thawed and risen you roll it out, par-bake it a bit in a preheated cast iron pan, add toppings, then bake again.

It's easy to make your own pizza dough. Yeasty and as good as anything you can buy. I mix up enough for five pizzas (10 cups of flour), separate into sections and freeze each one in a gallon baggie. Keeps well frozen for at least a couple of months.
