The Location
This one was made right in my very own kitchen. I grew up on Tony's frozen pizzas and I will admit that I still love them. In the past decade, though, there have been some serious advances in the world of frozen pizza. Some companies have tried to break the mold by bringing premium pizzas to the freezer section of your local grocery store. One is called California Pizza Kitchen...which seems to be playing on that leftover ideal that California is (1) the place to go if you want to fulfill fantasies of manifest destiny (2) the center of glamour and excitement and stardom in our country (3) a healthy place to live.
The Pizza
I am going to go ahead and admit something before we get going. I overcooked this pizza. I forgot to set the timer, got distracted by a video game and I overcooked the damn thing. I don't think it did a lot of damage, as it looked very similar going in as it did coming out. The pizza was sparsely topped, terrifically thin and crunchy as hell. It was so insubstantial that I kind of felt like I should be eating the cardboard circle underneath. The crust, admittedly overcooked, splintered into shards in my mouth. I'm pretty sure my gums were bleeding.
The Chicken
Chicken cubes!
The Sauce and the Taste
The sauce was pretty good, except there was none on the pizza. I got a little dab of flavor on one of the slices, but it was pretty dry and tasteless overall. What I will concede is that the onions, even overcooked, turned out to be pretty tasty. They were thinly sliced crescents of red onion, cooked to sweetness.
Overall
I would save your money and eat cardboard instead...or save some money by picking up a Tony's frozen pizza, instead. This pizza was saved from an F rating by the onions and the fact that I overcooked the damn thing. Maybe it would have been decent, if I had followed the instructions. Maybe, but I suspect not. D-!
