Special thanks to Wayne, whose ingenuity is the reason for this post. Not long ago, I was hanging out with a good friend during an overnight camping excursion when, as we sat around the campfire, the subject of grilling came up. Somehow the conversation drifted to my great failed pizza…
We make no secret of our love for Aldi breakfast foods. Whether it is Regular Buys like the awesome hash browns or Special Buys like the pancakes and sausage on-a-stick, Aldi makes a mean, almost restaurant-like first meal of the day. Now, pizza is not something we associate with the…
Anyone who has perused the pizza lineup at Aldi knows that they generally come in two kinds: frozen and take-and-bake. Frozen has the advantage of lasting longer before you have to cook it, while take-and-bake usually means fresher ingredients and an overall better taste. Most of the take-and-bake options are…
EDITOR’S NOTE (June 2017): After this post ran, a friend of ours decided to try grilling a pizza himself. You can read what happened right here. Most people assume that frozen pizzas are meant to be baked. That is almost always true. However, at least one brand, Jack’s Pizza, likes…
We’ve tried our share of Mama Cozzi’s pizzas around here. Some are quite good, while others are merely so-so. Some are more conventional, while others are a bit more exotic. Some are frozen, while others are take-and-back. Some are Regular Buys, while others are Special Buys. If there’s one thing…
Aldi is good at offering a variety of unique pizzas as rotating Special Buy items. One of my favorite guilty pleasures is the Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Dip-N-Strips pizza. These pizza strips come with marinara sauce and a garlic buttery sauce for dipping that reminds me of a certain national…
I love stuffed crust pizzas. Love them. And, of course, I’m a big fan of Aldi. But, until recently, I’d never seen the two together. Aldi certainly hasn’t lacked for pizza variety — they do frozen, thin, thick, take-and-bake, you name it — but it seemed stuffed crust was too…
In the Midwestern city of St. Louis, Missouri, a number of unique Italian-style dishes carry out a niche existence in local lore. One of those is the “St. Louis style” pizza, a thin-crust pizza topped with a strange provolone-cheddar-Swiss concoction known as provel cheese. Yet another is a famous salad…
My family loves the name brand Totino’s Party Pizzas. They’re generally not that expensive, and sometimes you can even find them on sale for around a dollar. Aldi has a good selection of excellent pizzas, including both Regular and Special Buys. Aldi even sells its own imitation of Totino’s with…
