15 Best Frozen Pizza Brands, According to Reddit (#6 Will Surprise You)

One obvious way to stretch your restaurant budget is to eat at home more often, even if it’s not always as fun as going out. Then, by the time the weekend rolls around, you’ll have more in your wallet to spend at your favorite eateries.

But life is busy, and while cooking is always aspirational, sometimes you just want to throw a frozen pizza in the oven and call it an evening. So who makes the best options on the market? We turned to Reddit to find out.

The clear winner of the Reddit frozen pizza wars is Motor City Pizza, a brand dedicated to making Detroit-style pies. They’re literally baked in an automotive parts tray.

“Motor City Pizza is hands down the best frozen pizza,” one Redditor shared. “It is the only frozen pizza that doesn't have that frozen pizza taste.”

The many fans of Chicago’s Home Run Inn appreciate the simplicity of the ingredients, the abundance of toppings, and the texture of the crust.

This pizza also gets special accolades for its unique flavor. “It's the only frozen pizza that has those extra spices (like anise seeds, I think), and you can definitely taste the difference,” one Redditor noted.

Screamin’ Sicilian receives heaps of praise; Redditors appreciate the value of this pizza combined with the overall quality and taste.

Another pro? The toppings. “I have to re-arrange the toppings before I bake them, not because there is not enough, but because they are overflowing,” a happy commenter proclaimed.

Standing out for its brick oven crust and flavorful sauce is Red Baron, a standard in the frozen pizza space. While some commenters cite nostalgia as a factor, the quality is real.

Many fans cite the pepperoni as the best of the brand. “The new Fully Loaded ones are good, too,” another Redditor added.

While this brand was cited due to the philanthropy of its founder, Newman’s Own pizza is no slouch when it comes to quality.

One Redditor was “shocked” by how delicious the pepperoni option was, while others enjoyed them all. “The whole Newman's pizza line is outstanding, give the supreme thin crust a go,” another commented.

If you’re fortunate enough to live near a Trader Joe’s, Redditors recommend giving their frozen pizza a shot, especially the arugula and prosciutto option.

They also make a pesto and roasted garlic pie with a deep fried crust. “I have eaten so many of these I literally can't stand the sight of them anymore,” one Redditor commented.

Midwestern Redditors were quick to sing the praises of Heggies Pizza, a thin crust option made in Minnesota. One Redditor claims that’s where frozen pizza was invented. “The rest of the country is missing out,” another added.

The six-pack pizza, which comes with four meats and two cheeses, received a special shoutout from fans.

Also popular is Freschetta, a solid option that Redditors say compares with their local pizzerias. The square pie was called out by name as “unmatched.”

“Their gluten-free option is amazing,” one Redditor shared. “Easily the best one I've found.” The supreme pie also got a shout-out.

Plenty of frozen pizza fans identify Brew Pub Lotzza Motzza as especially delicious. Again, pepperoni was a popular pick, as was the brand’s breakfast pizza.

“Breakfast pizza is heaven,” one Redditor gushed. “Especially by yourself when the fam is gone and you stayed up too late and don’t wanna actually cook in the morning.”

Costco is famous for its food court pizza, but they also sell a frozen pie that’s popular among Redditors. One, claiming to be a former employee, said they’re actually the same pizza.

“I like Costco's [K]irkland cheese pizza,” another commenter added. “I use it as a blank canvas and add whatever I want.”

A popular budget frozen pizza, Totino’s was singled out for its low price, which helped hungry folks stay fed when times were lean. Square versus round is up for debate.

“The hamburger one is the best, hands down,” one Redditor shared. “It feels nostalgic to have one every now and again.

The Tombstone brand still gets some love from Redditors. “Tombstone is easily the best of the lower tier frozens,” one commenter offered. “Their sauce is actually decent.”

Others appreciate the crunchy crust and prepare them in an air fryer for max enjoyment.

Jack’s pizza isn’t meant to be gourmet, though it is meant to be affordable and satisfying. Redditors enjoy it “well done to a crisp,” though others got a bit more innovative.

“Y'all ever GRILL the Jack's pizzas?” one commenter asked. “It says you can on the package and I was skeptical, but … was that actually crazy good.”

Found in the freezer at your neighborhood Aldi, this frozen pizza is “good and cheap,” according to Redditors. It doesn’t get much more on-brand for Aldi than that.

Both the thin crust and the pepperoni options got specific shout-outs. (Note that these are different from Aldi’s refrigerated pizzas.)

Squeaking by with just enough upvotes for inclusion is DiGiorno, famous for its slick slogan. Fans of the brand were surprised to see it rank so low, but they defended it mightily.

“DiGiorno’s croissant crust pizza is GOD TIER,” one Redditor proclaimed. “It is my favorite. So flaky,” another affirmed.

People enjoy frozen pizza for all kinds of reasons, from wanting to save money on groceries to spending less on food delivery. It’s also the best of both worlds as you get a hot, fresh meal but you don’t have to cook.

One tip we took home from Reddit is that you can jazz up frozen pizza by adding your own ingredients like extra cheese, meats, and veggies. That can take your pizza from just okay to top notch.
