I've been seeing these commercials for the new Freschetta PizzAmore. It comes pre-sliced and the ads promise that it tastes just like one that you'd get in a pizzeria.
Um, it doesn't.
I had high hopes for this, because I like the regular Freschetta pizza. I learned two things from making it: one, you have to absolutely make sure that your oven is pre-heated, even more than usual. If not, the top will be done and the bottom will be raw. And two, you can't really buy a frozen pizza that's better than the best takeout. This is "passable," in that "I love pizza so much I'll eat any kind" sort of way, but it still tastes kinda blah. Not enough sauce, and the cheese has that bland, taste you get on so many frozen pizzas, especially if you're not careful and you overcook it just a touch (the pizza comes with it's own baking tray). Also, the box says that there are two different types of pepperoni on the top, regular and spicy, but I don't really taste any difference. The pizza isn't bad, it's just nothing special.
So, if I have to go with frozen pizza, I'll get my favorites: Mystic Pizza, California Pizza Kitchen, DiGiornio's, Stouffers French Bread, and Freschetta original.
