i like the freshetta four cheese pizza and then add my own toppings.
As an aside, I won one of these pizza cooker things at a company Xmas party and believe it or not works pretty darn good

I also like the DiGiorno garlic bread pizza for its gooey-garlicky-cheesy-thick qualities.

Just went to our new Trader Joe's yesterday, but did not try a pizza. It's usually something we grab at the last minute when we don't feel like cooking.
Still like Freschetta okay. The one Amy's we've tried a couple times is realy great, it's the 3 cheese with cornmeal crust at the top of the pizza page http://www.amys.com/products/categor...rod_category=3
BTW pizza and lo-cal don't really mix unless you can eat relatively small amounts of pizza
Amy's isn't meant to be lo-cal, just all natural and vegetarian. Anytime you put a lot of cheese on something it ain't gonna be lo-cal.

I love Home Run Inn frozen pizza. Don't know how widely they distribute outside of Chicago area though. The crust is unusual, very dense and buttery. But I think the quality of the cheese is terrific. Honestly, I prefer it to most low-end pizza delivery places

Any french bread pizza works for me.
Here's my secret.
Microwave it first and make sure it's perfectly thaw.. usually to the point of steaming on the surface
Then, throw it in a toaster oven or regular oven (i normally use my toaster oven) and wait till the cheese is brown. It will be nice and crunchy throughout.
Even the bad ones taste good to me.. cover it up with enough red peppers and garlic...

The Trader Giotto (Trader Joe)Pizza with pesto and fresh tomatoes is pretty good. Nice, thin crust, very little cheese, pesto and sliced tomatoes tastes quite fresh. I normally have on in the freezer on hand.

CPK has come out with a new line of thin crust pizza-tried the sicilian and the margharitta-both were very good but a little pricey.
I love the Tarte d' Alsace from Trader Joes and probably have it a nd a TJ's salad once every two weeks or so for dinner.

No one's mentioned American Flatbread. It's a company with two bakeries in Vermont and one in California, so they're available nationwide though not everywhere. They sell at Whole Foods and other health/natural food stores. Thin-crust (vegetarian only) pizzas, astonishingly delicious for frozen.

I'm glad someone mentioned Home Run Inn pizza, and surprised no one mentioned it sooner. Is it not available outside the Chicago area?
Nowadays you can also get frozen deep-dish Malnati's pizza to cook at home, from Malnati's stores and also at Sunset grocery stores.
On the thinner side, I like Connie's too, which I think is a Jewel store brand.

While we are on the topic of pizza. Is it just me or are the prices getting a little out of control. The other day I ordered a "family" pizza from my local pizzeria in Sydney, it cost me AU$27. Which is around US$20. It was super thin and just seems to me that it has become exceedingly expensive for glorified cheese on toast. I do try and steer clear of frozen pizza though. There's a place in Salerno Italy where I have family that has the best pizza in the world IMHO, and only 7 euros for a pizza.

I agree nothing beats a fresh hot pizza but for those drunken late nights when the pizza shops are shut and you can not face a kebab I have found weight watchers make a reasonable ham and pineapple frozen pizza.
