Only very rarely. If I'm going to spend that much time preparing supper I'll just go ahead and cook something myself, which I'll probably enjoy a lot more. I love eating or ordering pizza out when I'm with a group, but I won't bother with it when I'm by myself.

I never cook.

We get frozen pizza at home once a week. Is it as good as "proper" pizza? Hell, no!  But it's serviceable and far, far cheaper, so that's what we do.

I never cook. I've got several dishes I can prepare in that time or slightly longer. And only part of the time is actual ingredient preparation. Most of them produce leftovers I can eat for days afterward. I do keep frozen convenience foods like TV dinners on hand for when I'm really tired or pressed for time, but I try not to get in the habit of using them often. I do miss having someone to cook for.

I try to avoid them but they do the job when you have few other options. DiGiorno's is fairly decent.

It's a whole different thing than fresh pizza (and, for that matter, a fresh New York/Philly slice is a whole different thing from a fresh Chicago deep dish slice), but I love me some Tombstone with the works.

There's some very good frozen pizzas on the market, so it would depend on the brand. Prefer fresh-baked, but when I was a kid, Elio's was the shit.

I prefer the Crisp Crust Totino's ones, rather than the ones that try to be real pizza. Frozen pizza really can't compete head-to-head with something from Garlic Jim's or Papa John's, but viewed as its own species, it's not bad on its own merits.

Based on this thread, I picked up a Tombstone. Thanks, Googa.

In Italy, most pizzas only come with tomato, mozarella, and ONE topping. This is the original pizza.

They've gotten better in recent years. DiGorno, Bellatoria, Connie's... I still get a craving for a Tombstone every once in a while, though.

Best thing ever.
Wish my parents had let us keep them around when we were kids. My mom was old school. She cooked most things fresh for us.

Very rarely. I have to be in the mood for pizza, with no virtually no options avilable to me to order from or drive to.

We had a Freschetta spinach and mushroom pizza last night and it was tasty.

If you say it's good I might give it a go next time I buy frozen pizza (if that time ever comes, I should say, actually).

It is so good, but it is square and that's just not how I usually roll with my pizza.
