Frozen Pizza

We have recently sampled some new frozen pizzas... Trader Joe's Pesto Pizza and Newman's Own White Pizza. I think overall, we were really impressed by both pizzas. It's pretty amazing what you can get for a few bucks in the grocer's freezer!

Trader Joe's Pesto Pizza had a chewy crust which was really yummy. The tomatoes and the pesto sauce created a really moist pizza that was at times messy, but always tasty. We really liked this pizza and I think it was something like $3 at Trader Joe's. We will definitely buy this one again! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

Newman's Own White pizza had a crispier dough. Overall, it was easier and less messy to eat, though the spinach did tend to get stuck in teeth. I loved the feta cheese topping (yum!). The pizza was a little dry... maybe we overcooked it? Not sure. We may buy this pizza again. It came in a huge box and made closing our freezer a little tricky, so it might be best for us to buy at the last minute on a night we know we will eat it. It was also more expensive at around $8.

(Sorry for the lack of photos - we ate both pizzas before remembering to take a photo!)

Amazing Pizza: The Mystery Continues

The Hubs and I have been watching and waiting for "Amazing Pizza" to open soon. We saw a sign on the little building months and months ago. We have been (not so) patiently waiting for the awesome pizza. We note small changes occurring and exciting share with each other, "I saw someone go in Amazing Pizza the other day!" or "The flowers outside aren't dead yet! Someone is still watering them..."

We've had some developments in the past week that need to be shared here. About a week ago, after weeks of no noticable activity at Amazing Pizza, I noticed that the sign had been taken down. It seemed that Amazing Pizza would no longer be coming soon. It was a very sad day.

And then...

Two days ago the sign went back up! I feel that this is promising. Why go through the bother of putting a sign back up if you're not going to actually open up shop? Things are looking up!

White Pizza

The Hubs and I have been experimenting with pesto and white sauces in the past couple weeks. We had a less than successful attempt at making a pizza at home with Trader Joe's whole wheat dough, pesto sauce, and mozzarella cheese. It ended up being kind of dry and bland.

Tonight we got pizza from the Engine House in Salem, MA. We ordered the white pizza with spinach and tomatoes...

It was really good! I was pleasantly surprised. It was moist and cheesy and the white sauce had a nice light garlic flavor. Also: it still tasted awesome when I reheated a couple slices for lunch the next day.
