    If I'm craving cheap garbage frozen pizza, then I'm going as cheap and garbage as the FDA will allow on the shelves.
    Totino's Party Pizza, generally the three meat variety.

    Newman's Own thin crust w/ uncured pepperoni (which is actually cured) is really really good, I think.

    Stouffer's French Bread Pizza

    Every half-year or so I get the hankering for these. They taste so good, and yet make me want to die after ingesting them

    Screamin Sicilian mambo italiano or the Freschetta three meat for pizza like pizza. For garbage food the Jeno's/Totino's sausage or combination, two microwaved on top of one another.

    I'll say this for Digiorno - their advertising is excellent, because I once tried a second one.

    Whatever stuff they use in that particular rising crust puts me off the Digiorno, tastes a bit like the oil on pizza hut crusts, but more bleh.

    I haven’t had a digiorno in years. Have they gotten better? I was very unimpressed last time.

    I used to really like their Supreme pizza, but then they changed their sauce to be...sweeter? It got really gross.

    compared to other freezer pizzas I still think Digiorno is the best. Though the local Kroger pizzas aren't too bad at all.

    yeah when I had one it was almost candy-level sweet. And the bread was styrofoam-y so basically thumbs down all round.

    This is why I like the non rising frozen pizzas. I know their crusts are similar to cardboard and aren’t trying to pretend they are something greater.

    Sometimes I crave the cardboard.

    I was gonna say, I know there are some protected species of tarantulas.

    In other news fucking christ that tarantula hot dog gives me the heebie-jeebies. It's something about its placement ON the hot dog, not the tarantula or eating it.

    There's a distinct lack of preparation to it, but then I guess someone who orders a tarantula hot dog doesn't really deserve food prepared with care.

    My go-to is a Totino's three cheese (Well, two of them. Stacked.). If I'm feeling fancy, I'll get the Freschetta iteration.

    If I just want a fuckload of pizza I'll get a Wild Mike's Pepperoni Pizza.

    edit: Freschetta, not DiGiorno's. Whoops.

    Yeah it doesn't even look nice. It's like here's a shitty hot dog with mustard and also horror.

    The idea that you'd buy an actual pizza made by Totino's is even more alien to me than the tarantula. Why wouldn't you just get the rolls at that point?

    Can I just point out that when I posted about the exact same tarantula hot dog in this very thread two months ago, I was roundly derided for not ordering it.

    You people are inconsistent!

    Digiorno has a delicious buffalo chicken pizza with stuffed crust. If I were a judge on a cooking show, I'd give the stuffed crust person an extra 5 points regarless of dish assigned.

    "10 points to the chef."
    "The dish was supposed to be an apple tart."
    "You're an apple tart. 10 points."

    Did you post a picture? Because the visual aid greatly alters this sort of discourse.

    (I doubt I'd give shit over that, but then I'd also assume that it was like... prepared and cooked in any fashion to be the slightest bit appetizing.)

    Nope. Because I didn't order it, because I don't really want to spend $20 fucking up my hotdog.

    edit: also it said "grilled" on the menu so I pretty much assumed it was gonna be a bare-assed grilled tarantula. At least i was right.

    They didn't even have a picture of what the result would look like? That's one helluva case of "mystery meat"!

    it's not a mystery! it's a tarantula! That's what a tarantula looks like! Honestly I think I'd be disappointed if that wasn't what came out.

    also I don't know what kind of restaurants y'all are going to but most places I hit up don't have whacking great photos of their food.

    edit: like the time we ordered tete de l'agneau in a restaurant in Lyon and were crushed when they sent it out already carved. We wouldn't have ordered it if we hadn't wanted it looking at us, guys.

    When I have seen tarantulas as cuisine elsewhere they generally deconstruct it, and remove the abdomen since it's full of....well, goop, at that point

    The most bad food thing from my childhood I can remember would probably be those KC frozen dinners, the one with the penguin mascot and the amazing ability to ensure the entree was stone cold while the dessert was a couple degrees below the temperature of the sun's surface.

    Totinos turned me off to frozen pizzas for decades. It wasn't until just the last few years that I was willing to try other frozen pizzas at all.

    Dr Oetkers is the only frozen pizza brand I've had that was more appetizing than the plate.

    Still worse than almost anywhere fresh, but ...ok.

    Walmart has a line of frozen pizzas called Pizzadillas that come in flavors like Chicken Fajita and Carne Asada, the gimmick being that there is a second underlying crust with cheese in between. They are not too terrible for being Bad Food.
