I don't usually buy frozen pizza, but a supermarket nearby had a "loss-leader" on locally-made Stromboli pizzas, some of which are vegetarian, like the goat's cheese and gouda one I bought for $3 Cdn. pizzastromboli.ca/Some say it is more common than not to doctor these up a bit. Of course I'm adding basil leaves, as my basil on the balcony is doing very well; probably also some sliced black olives and also sliced tiny "grape" tomatoes (miniature Roma tomatoes, less liquid than cherry tomatoes). www.epicurious.com/archive/blogs/editor/2009/08/secrets-for-doctoring-up-packaged-foods.html |

Ah, we don't have those in Vancouver. Look good, though.

They are very local, don't even know if they are shipped to Toronto. Probably between Ottawa and Quebec City. Stromboli used to be a pizzeria on avenue Mont-Royal, but now they are a small factory a bit north and east of there.
My own homemade pizza remains better, but I ate half of mine (didn't plan to eat the whole thing, use if for two people or two portions, with a salad) and the crust was quite decent.

I've been known to eat a Dr. Oetker mozzarella pizza if there is nothing else.

I like their spinach ones better. They aren't something I long for (the crust is wrong) but they are relatively not-horrid, as frozen pizzas go. Better than a lot of bad "fresh" pizzas.

I like the pesto globs on the mozzarella, I guess.

I am incapable of putting a fresh or frozen pizza in the oven as is. I must add some of my own ingredients.

My nearest supermarket here had the Canadian Dr. Oetker pizze on sale for $2.99 so I bought a couple. Not horrible at all, but yes the crust wasn't terrific.

Dr. Oetker is a major (German) brand in France, too, but I have never tested it. I'm sure that the products are different to cater to local tastes, though. I'm just wondering if you have to drink Dr. Pepper if you eat Dr. Oetker.
Oddly enough, Dr. Oetker owns the Bristol 5-star hotel in Paris, which is considered by many to be the best hotel in the city.
