Just bought at Costco (2) one sausage, one pepperoni Chicago's Homerun Inn frozen pizza. Heard it was the shit on this site. I'm about to try it out.
Will I be disappointed? Normally I'm a quantity over quality kinda person when it comes to frozen pizza. I'll go to the local grocery store and will get those Tostitos Party Pizzas because they're $1/pizza and they'll usually fill me up.
If I want good pizza I'll go to Bronx, Tim's or FunHouse around town here in KC and sit down at the restaurant and eat it fresh. [Reply]

People who's culinary opinion I respect LOVE Lou Malnati's to the point where I've had nearly every pizza they make trying to understand it. But I don't. It does nothing for me.
That said, the main reason I love HRI is that its really closest to the homemade pizza my mom made growing up. The butter in the crust, the simple canned tasting tomato paste of the sauce. It's that familiarity that tastes the best. It's totally a preference and I get the irony.
Home Run Inn is alright. The cheese and crust are pretty good. The crust is a different animal, but I can appreciate it.
The tomato sauce is too bland for me to consider buying it regularly.
I do like the Screaming Sicilian brand of pizza. [Reply]

Lou Malnati's may be overrated but it pretty damn good. Though I probably like their thin crust better than the Chicago style. [Reply]

That sauce is bland AF, no argument there.

Malnati's is the Gates of well known Chicago pizza. [Reply]

Does it punch you in the gut when you least expect it? [Reply]

This.
I like Bellatoria or Lottza Motzza. I usually buy some fresh ground beef and sausage out of the meat case and add it to the pizza. That might be considered cheating for the purposes of the thread though. [Reply]
