Episode 90: Red Baron Flavored Crust Parmesan Supreme Pizza

03 May, 2009

Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master

Are all frozen pizzas created equal? I mean can you say that every brand is the same? Feeding off the same manufacturers for the toppings? You can say that but its simply not true. Frozen pizza manufacturers are always trying to come up with gimmicks to have their pizza stand out from the crowd. Take Red Baron and this Flavored Crust Parmesan Supreme Pizza. It’s a Red Baron pizza with a supposed added value: a flavored crust. As if all other crusts are flavorless and bland. But will this flavored crust be that added punch to push Red Baron to the top of the heap?

I buy 1 bag of dough 1 bag of cheese 1 jar of sauce and a bunch of toppings and go to town,you should review my pizza lol

Tod

the beginning of the vid in how you were explaining how parmesan is pronounced made me chuckle. It was funny.

Meg

11 grams of sugar seems like a lot..probably all in the sauce? Also, for a thin crust it seems awfully floppy. I think I'd go for other brands, like Freshetta, etc

That's disappointing...it is in fact hard to mess up a pizza...but on the same token it can be hard to exceed expectations too...especially from a frozen puck of a pie. I'd say, if I had too, CPKs frozen frisbees are pretty acceptable. Do you like the "artisan" varieties?

@Todd - that's not cheating! That's how I think every meal should be that's ready prepared...always add a little touch to make it how you want it. I can't believe how few toppings were on that RB.

I ask you this...if you could make your ultimate pie what would it be?
Crust?
Sauce?
Toppings?
Also....what do you normally get when you stop ito your local pizzeria?

Todd

P.S. I tend to cheat a bit with these pizzas a bit these days, sometimes I will add toppings like extra olives, cheese etc.
The one that I did not like was the Red Baron Mexican style pizza, the sauce seemed to have a synthetic/chemical taste to it, very strange.

Todd

Yeah, Red Baron pizzas are kinda ordinary,but I do like them. They do have a taste to me that holds a special place in my heart though,when Red Baron first hit the market, my grandma would buy one once and awhile, and make it for a quick snack. The taste of the classic supreme pizza reminds me of those days.
It is rare that an off the shelf food item brings back good memories for me :)

I'd also agree about the lack of toppings on the whole big frozen pizzas. If you ever try their french bread supreme pizza, it's got a decent amount of toppings, and I prefer it calorie-wise as well.
