Ahem…..Best Frozen Microwave Pizza?

[BanjoCowboyMartaTobes]

I’m almost embarrassed to ask this but let me share why. My wife makes incredible pizza from scratch on Fridays, when I’m home. I am not home, rather on a contract, working long hours and sleeping in our tiny RV. Basically, I’m a bachelor again and I do not have an oven. I had a hankering for a frozen pizza and got lost in the super market, browsing literally what seemed like 100 different frozen pizzas.

Since the first dozen I checked out did not have microwave instructions, I settled on a pasta dish. Mind you, I might eat a frozen meal twice a month however, I really wanted a quick microwave pizza tonight lol. Is there one out there that has decent toppings covered in cheesey love and a fairer than cardboard crust? Is this even a thing?

The only microwavable pizza I like is Ellios. Good luck with your search!

EDIT: Sorry ... brainfart ... I didn't notice it was "microwave only" .... my bad for not reading closely before I responded. sorry. It just might work in a microwave, never tried.

This isn't quite pizza ... but if you have a trader joe's nearby you can buy their "Garlic Naan" or the plain Naan if you don't like garlic. I haven't tried it with tomato sauce or any kind of sauce --- but I just pile on some grated cheese and sliced mushrooms, sliced olives, peppers, onions or whatever and pop it in a toaster oven for a couple of minutes with the top element (broiler) on as well as the bottom element -- the naan is already cooked but frozen so it just needs to be in the toaster oven for a few minutes. I think it's better than most frozen pizza's I've tried.

P.S. Trader Joes has really good frozen pizza too!

Next time the microwave dies, replace it with a Breville Smart Oven. It is much more versatile and big enough to handle a frozen pizza. I like Red Baron ok, but our HEB line, Midtown, is wonderful.

I’m almost embarrassed to ask this but...

...best to ask around among a bunch of guys/gals of a certain age who've probably had to face that dilemma a time or two. So good on ya! May I make a somewhat divergent suggestion?

"Tlayuda" might fix your fix. Also known as "Oaxacan Pizza," tlayuda is a corn tortilla toasted on a griddle or in a skillet, then topped with sauce, meat, peppers, onions, cheese, crema, asiento...go nuts if you want. Sauce and meat are already cooked, and you could give the onions a quick saute or even just chop and nuke them for a minute.

Real tlayuda generally come on a 12-inch tortilla, but you can use standard size corn tortillas or I suppose could even use a wheat tortilla. You'd just make about four little ones to equal one big one.

I'm assuming you have some kind of cooktop or hotplate. If not, my apologies and also condolences on a truly hardship posting.

O.H.

I have no advice. It's been a while since I've had any microwave pizza, but I am listening to the advice here.

I'm also enjoying fond memories of the absurd number of Pillsbury microwave pizzas I while in college.

I'd be interested in a good microwave pizza .. I've yet to have one.

Without an real oven, I'm not sure it's possible - DiGiorno's frozen is passable but I think not micro - friendly.

My quick pizza urges are filled with leftover homemade that I've frozen, heated in a combo of microwave & skillet. Finishing with the skillet crisps the crust up a little over the limp wet dough produced by a microwave

Off topic, but a recent revelation. Reheat leftover pizza in the toaster oven (not the microwave).

If I'm going to microwave it, Totino's party pizza is a guilty pleasure.

Just buy a good air fryer and you can cook your pizza in that and it will be as good as a real oven. A Philips is compact enough for an RV.
