Feeling a little old school today. Day three of the Frozen Pizza Throwdown.

Yours truly with the obligatory rumshot!

The important tools of the trade.

Tonight's pizza will be a familiar pizza to most Quad Citian's. Mama Bosso's is made in beautiful Rock Island Illinois. As an FYI. I have had Mama Bosso's pizza alot. It's pretty tasty and well I included it in the Throwdown because I haven't had one in awhile. This pizza is about as close as one can find to a Frank's, Harris, Uncle Bills et al.

Mama's website.

Lets fire up the oven and see what happens.

My, my, my. Mama Bosso is just not that good. I'm sorry.  The crust is plain. The meat has no taste. No sauce what so ever.

I'm sorry. Mama Bosso's I wanted to love you,alas I can't. I'm not going to brag this pizza up. Is it better than a Jacks or Tombstone? Not really.

Don't waste your money. I can't sugarcoat my pizza opinion.

I give this a hard to assign 5 on the Scotty scale.

In no way will I quit with the Frozen Pizza Throwdown!

Just my opinion.

Cheers!

And so it is. That said. For tonight's pizza I just reached in the freezer and pulled out that proverbial box of chocolate.

The all important rumshot! And then the tools and implements for tonight's throwdown.

So what are we having tonight? Looks like a Brew Pub Pizza. They did not have just a regular sausage at the store so I had to go with a sausage and pepperoni. That's okay I love pepperoni too. Looking around the Brew Pub pizza website it seems there are a number of different frozen pizza's they have. I've already had a Bellatoria frozen pizza and they are really good if you like thin crust (Yay) like I do. As mentioned I have at least another weeks worth of frozen pizza's to try. Orv's,Roma and Pizza Corner. These are all on my radar.

Check out their website for more info.

For tonight.

Let's fire up the oven and bake this pizza!

Pizza on the stone.

 So how does the Brew Pub Pizza stack up? I'll give this pizza about a 7. It's ok.It's just enough to be great!

The meat toppings were good. The sauce was probably what I liked best about this pizza. The crust was just very average. The Sun Is Eclipsed By The Moon!

Final thoughts. Brew Pub Pizza I'll give a 7.00 on my frozen pizza scale.

As always. My thoughts are mine. You might like Totinos.I won't hold that against you.

Cheers!

The family unit minus me has flown to warmer climes. The dog and I will be left to our own shenanigans for the rest of the week.

So here we go. The Frozen Pizza Throwdown.

Yours truly getting ready.With all the ingredients and utensils.

Tonight's pizza is going to be one I am not familiar with at all. Connies. The picture on the box looks pretty tasty(and lets face it the pictures usually end up being better than the pizza) but I digress.

One point I'd like to make before I comment further. For the record I am not a fan of deep dish or any type of stuffed crust pizza. I've always been more of a thin crust fan. So I tend to stick with what I like. Even on a real roadtrip review I will order thin crust. The wife and kid are the ones that like some sort of deep dish. Just so you all know. That's why for this week I have bought all thin crust frozens. Ok? Okay.Just had to get that off my chest(belly).

Here is some info about Connie's for those interested.

Here's what the pizza in the box looks like.

 Time for the oven.

Connie's wrapped and then on the stone.Obviously the picture on the box looks much better than the real pizza. For a guy that likes his rum.I could do a better job of spreading the sausage.

 And then baking.

Out of the oven and then plated!

Holy smokes is this frozen pizza great or what? Yes it is. Connie's,puts the all important corn meal on the bottom of the crust.

So to my thoughts.

What you see on the cardboard box when you buy a Connie's frozen Pizza.You get what you are buying.
The sausage was really tasty.The sauce was right up there.The crust,lord the crust with the corn meal knocked this frozen pizza right out of John O'Donnel!

I'm not gonna lie. I have eaten many frozen pizza's in my 52 years of life.Is this the best frozen pizza ever?
No
But I'll rank this in my top 10. The corn meal on the bottom gives Connie's a push.

I would not hesitate to give this  a 2 thumbs up. Just eat Connie and shut up. She taste's good.

Don't forget.4 more days of frozen pizza goodness.

Cheers!

Don't all great ideas and actions start with "hold my beer and watch this" and laughs ensue?

A week or so ago.While having some rum.I got this real dumb idea. Let me explain.

The wife,kid and other kid are going somewhere after Christmas. I'm not exatcly sure where, but anyways. So the dog and I kinda looked at each other and said pizza time!

With that I kinda came up with this idea that being there will be no adults around the dog and I could eat as much pizza as we want. And well we probably won't be in any condition to drive why not just eat pizza all week long?

Brilliant!

So here it is. The Frozen Pizza Throwdown! For the most part my baseline pizza's will be sausage cause everyone likes sausage pizza right? Homey don't play that Taco pizza crap.

The pizza's in no particular order.

Mama Bosso's

Home Run Inn

Butch's

Brew Pub

And Connie's

So I will have a blog update each day about these pizza's. And I'll give my thoughts about each pizza. I know,I know. Frozen pizza's are usually lowest common denominators,but for a few years now they have been getting pretty tasty. So you all let me do the hard work and I'll let you know what I think.

On that note. I had another dumb idea. Why not try and create a breakfast pizza that more than likely I will eat around one pm?
The parts.

This should be a fun week and I hope my colon forgives me someday.

And there will be a real roadtrip later today.

Merry Christmas Eve!

Scotty

A day before Christmas Eve. I have been buying the frozen pizza's for next week's good times.

  A teaser pic.

I have all of the frozen pizza's ready. We are going out tomorrow night for  a Christmas Eve for real QC Pizza Blog update.

I am toast.

Good night.

On the advice of my lovely daughter Zoey, she gave me heads up about a semi local frozen pizza maker.

I had never heard of Butch's Pizza ,but she swears by this pizza.So as the ever slave to pizza that I am.I Googled up Butch's website and emailed them the closest location to my house that I could acquire said pizza.

Well it didn't take long for a reply. The Hy-Vee on East 53rd St in Davenport stocks Butch's. So I was on a mission in the crappy weather we are having. I will be buying all of my frozen pizza throwdown pizza's from here. Sheri and I counted at least ten pizza's that would fit into my really dumb idea.

That said I will be cooking a Butch's tonite.Sheri is trying out a frozen Geno's East deep dish.It's in the oven now.


Butch's Pizza.

And the Geno's East deep dish.

This is what the Geno's East and the Butch's pizza looked like out of the oven.

This post is just a teaser for the Frozen Pizza Throwdown coming up up after Christmas! It's going to be fun and I hope you all enjoy it too.

We will of course be going out and about for a real sit down pizza experience. The weather just is not cooperating today.Probably Sunday for a real review.

Cheers!

Sheri,Moll,Lucy and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Lucy is getting in the spirit.

It's been over two months since the last update. Seems there is always a push/pull around the start of the holiday season and I include Halloween in that for time and money. We last went to Johnny's Pizza on Brady St around the first of October.

Of course we have had the odd Casey's, Happy Joe's whatever,but haven't been able to do a good road trip pizza review.

Hopefully this weekend the weather is better than last weekend,but it's looking iffy once again. We are still planning a full pizza blog restaurant review this weekend(maybe)lol.

On that note. The dog and I shall be left to our own devices the week after Christmas up to New Years Eve.

I've been kicking around the idea of a frozen pizza throwdown the week I am Home Alone.

What I plan to do is eat a different frozen pizza each night for five or six days and document the mayhem. Hopefully there is a house for Sheri and Mollie to come home to. So give me you favorite frozen pizza's. I will be buying these pizza's from my local West Kimberly Hy-Vee.

Thinking. Some of these listed below.

Home Run Inn
Screaming Sicilian
Bellatori's
Mama Bosso's
Et al

Merry Christmas!
