I've only ever used them once. Not worth the hype, or the price.

I didn't care for them, but I'm a NYC pizza type, anyway.
All that crust, and it has a kind of sweet taste that I didn't like,
but it's been a long time since I've tried them. Reminds me that
they used to advertise all the time, but I don't remember seeing
one of their ads for ages now.

I've found some Italian bases. Cryovaced, and quite resonable in price.

Great for those times when I'm too knackered to make my 10 min dough.

*Now* I remember why I didn't go back to them!!

Puff pastry sheet as a pizza crust. http://i42.tinypic.com/s63lzo.jpg

Maybe if I'd pre-baked the puff pastry a little first.

I had such high hopes.

You got all of that out of it? I thought it tasted like cardboard.

<laugh> I'd say "Only your warped and twisted mind would conceive

immediately react "Ew, no way" and not actually *make* it. Tell me it
was in the interest of science and I'll let you off the hook.

sf,

It was nearing the expiration date so I put on my thinking cap and came
up with that!

Best,

Or maybe a troll?

he was bound tio geta serious response from somebody with those 5
threads *in a row*. That should have been your first clue. The
"Nomen Nescio" should have been an even bigger clue.

You're on your own with not liking Tater Tots. I love them (the plain
kind, not the ones with "seasoning").

I love them too and have to restrain myself by reading the ingredient
list and thinking of how awful it is from buying them. I can eat an
entire bag.

I was surprised to find some fast food places in the south (Sonic, for
one) serve Tater Tots. Just struck me as weird. Not my favorite...
french fries are way better IMO.

Boboli crusts are OK in a pinch. We get them at the "old bread" store
for $1.50 and keep a few in the freezer.

Is this a trick question?

YOu can buy Boboli pizza bases at any major supermarket. ANybody
who buys frozen pizzas has had experience with adding what the
mfr missed. (Like anchovies)

FWIW: The ones you buy from the supermarket ARE pizzas,
although perhaps lacking - in your opinion. Add, remove, modify,
whatever. WHo has not added jalapenos, or extra I. Sausage,
or extra cheese, or anchovies? Frozen pizzas are just the starting
point.....

Why not just buy the base and build your own? IF
you have a bread machine (with a dough cycle) you can make
better pizza dough than you will find at the supermarket anyway.

Curious,

Alex
