Red Baron Deep Dish Single Cheese Pizza

July 5, 2006 | Reviewer: Guest Reviewers

As a lover of pepperoni and sausage it’s not clear why I had a plain cheese pizza in the freezer. Unfortunately, few palatable alternatives existed and cooking a hot meal for one person seemed laborious.

George says: As a lover of pepperoni and sausage it’s not clear why I had a plain cheese pizza in the freezer. Unfortunately, few palatable alternatives existed and cooking a hot meal for one person seemed laborious. A Red Baron Deep Dish Single makes a satisfying small lunch or large snack. Reminiscent of pizzas served at middle school cafeterias throughout the U.S., this thicker, more substantial cousin is characterized by plain sauce but tasty cheese. The silver-coated microwave trays ensure that the crust is crisp and help to melt the cheese at the center of the pizza - the ultimate challenge for any microwaveable pie. Even so, the cheese that oozed over the edges of the pizza became hardened relative to the soupy core. By nature, a deep dish pizza remains hot for quite some time, so it advisable to let it cool for several minutes before consuming (as my burnt taste buds can attest). Overall I was pleased with the substantial amount of cheese, a frequent shortcoming of frozen pizzas, and despite the absence of toppings it is a very good value.

As I enjoyed the last few bites of my pizza, Abi approached me with a cold stare. I knew immediately the sin of which I was guilty and the heavy price I would pay. Since the onset of HeatEatReview, our freezer has been transformed from a home for ice cream and ice cubes to a Mecca of frozen meals. Like a serf picking from the lord’s garden, I had unwittingly eaten Abi’s food and have been indentured to write this review.

I distinctly remember cafeteria pizza as a nauseating experiencing. The day they replaced Pizza Hut day with Generic Pizza day was the worst day of my life. The cheese was more rubbery than tires and the crust was so soggy that I could’ve sworn we were being served sponges. Was it worth the $20 saved per week, Hoover Elementary in Santa Ana, CA?!

Anyways, I have actually had this pizza myself and it was pretty decent. The cheese was yummy and the crust didn’t come out tasting like a brick after it came out of the microwave.

I wish I knew whether or not these pizzas were good. Unfortunately, George ate both of them. Both pizzas! These were not a part of the communal food. I may have to start putting my name on items and home and at work.

He also owes me reviews for a Curry Classics meal, Hot Pockets, Stagg Chili, and a Trader Joe’s Chicken Tikka Masala.

Our grandchildren are either going to be delighted by this website or they will be horrified that we’ve reviewed frozen foods in such a public place. Ok, you just eat the food, I review it.

this site is a hoot. Although… I’m thinking maybe you could do a documentary of your eating habits ala “Supersize Me”.
