didn't feel like cooking and saw a store-brand, frozen, thick crust
pizza for about seven bucks.
It wasn't bad, and two of us couldn't eat it all. Helluva deal!

If you get a chance try a Newman's Own frozen pizza.
Very, very good and they are the thin crust variety.

How can that be too much for two people who normally eat Fred

I do like the Newman's Own frozen pizzas. I usually get the spinach
pizza version, no tomato sauce, just white cheeses. Thin crust that
comes out nice and crisp. :)

I once picked up a Oetker's spinach pizza. I was not a big fan of
pizzas at the time, especially frozen, but it was on sale for such a ridiculously low price that I couldn't turn it down. It was pretty

garlic frozen pizza. It was so overpowering with garlic
and tasted of raw garlic even after cooking I had to throw
it out. So much garlic it was burning my mouth and not
from the oven heat either.
I've not been tempted to repeat that pizza.

The last pizza I made was a medium crust that would best be described
as a broccoli Feta with green onion, minimal sauce, and some scattered chopped mushrooms.
I used the bread machine of course, and I too can't be bothered to make
the dough by hand. I just let it rest in a ball for a few minutes then
hand smooth it out.
Lightly paint the dough with thick pozza sauce. Then make a stack of
Gai Lan leaves, snipping off all stems. Roll them then cut across to
thin 1/3inch strings. Doing that keeps you from grabbing a bite and
getting a whole leaf in one shot (grin). Layer these across the sauce
about 1 deep. Now sprinkle with toppings and bake for desired time.

In my case it's likely because pepperoni tends to be greasy. I rarely
have pepperoni (any brand) on pizza until it's diced or the grease is
well blotted off after the pizza is cooked.

Start with a cheese swamp, then add pepperoni. I guarantee

Yes, maybe if you start with an authentic RFC cheese swamp.

like cheese-swamp pizzas. One can even order pizza with extra
cheese.

it's not a cheese swamp and there's hardly any grease

upthread i'd already stated i now don't eat pepperoni...
i've had plenty of pizza's over the years and yes some of
them did have extra grease from the pepperoni if it had
them on there. at those times in the past i wasn't having
notable trouble with pepperoni and i'd just eat them grease
and all.
when i moved in here and Mom was buying some frozen
french bread pizzas that she liked i was eating them but
having troubles afterwards and so i stopped eating them
and the troubles stopped. i've eaten some pepperoni here
or there since then and a few times it was not a problem
and other times it was a problem and it was different
brands of pepperoni. since i don't care to ask each place
what brand they use and i also don't care to carry around
a list of brands i just don't bother to eat it - it isn't
a major part of my diet.

if there is pepperoni on a pizza.
Hmmm. I take it neither of you is talking about
the frozen one that has a pizza-slice-sized
window on the package and you can see loads of
pepperoni in the window and then when you unwrap
it to put it in the oven you find out that the
only pepperoni on the pizza is on the slice
visible through the window on the package.

That's exactly the way I feel about it
if there is pepperoni on a pizza.

The thread has drifted slightly. However, I have seen cheap frozen
pizzas that have diced pepperoni topping rather than the sliced
pepperoni which curls up into cups and hold the grease when baked.

sliced or not those cups are doing nothing to hold or
get rid of grease any more than the pizza underneath might
be doing for the cut up bits of pepperoni instead.

Only in Australia. The rest of the World knows that it's a deadly
