I wonder if your freezer is cold enough. There are many foods that freeze really well without loss of quality.

I would say it is. Just that a lot of foods suffer from freezing... The crystalization or dehydrationing effect (although this is much slower) does affect food. Not everything, but consider... sashimi should not be frozen if at all possible. I find butterfish (or what they call butterfish) especially bad for this, but you can feel the texture difference of salmon if it's been frozen for too long. Some vegetables just start to shrivel if left in the freezer (for me, it's usually corn).

In most cases, it's still edible, but noticable.

I think maybe you expect a lot more from a $6 pizza than I do.

Well, for a little more, CDN$8.99+tax can get you a 1 topping fresh pizza. And that's usually until midnight/1am... so yeah. I might keep something like that for the 3am munchies but to be honest, I could probably do better than a frozen pizza. Been stocking my fridge a little better these days

Well have to agree to disagree then. I'd much rather the supermarket frozen pizza than something from Dominos etc.

My dad takes one of his cars to a informal show on Friday evenings...in a shopping center with a 7-11. He generally buys one of those pizzas and it also provides him lunch for the weekend. I've stopped at the show several times and have grabbed a slice. It is OK, and better than many of the frozen puzzas I've tried. Not sure I would pay for one though.

Back in the day, 7-11 "nachos' were great at 2 AM!

So glad I had a Jack in the Box drive-thru on the way home, and not a 7-11 "back in the day." So much healthier!

I always opted for the "safe" choice at 7-11. The hot dog. They were decent if they hadn't been spinning too long.

Naw - gave it that extra chewy leathery texture.

It's definitely not the best pizza I've eaten, but it's not horrible. As noted, I wouldn't go out of my way to pick one up, but it'll do in a pinch.

Anyways, if I'm in a 7-11 and need something to eat, I'll go with two steak & cheese taquitos.

I have no plans to get one, but well, as I drink my tea after lunch, I decided it was a most worthy topic for a Saturday afternoon post. Certainly Gao must have eaten one, as I expect his "Good Book" says "after overspending on eating out for six days, on the seventh day, thy wallet shall rest."
If you want to try it, you can always buy a slice to try it.

It is frozen that the employees place in a convection style oven. I have tried it, not the best unless it is straight out of the oven as it sits under a heat lamp.
