When was the last time you ate pizza?

Last week I had Rising Crust, Pepperoni, DiGiorno Pizza. After consuming a bigly amount of Pizza's in my lifetime. I found the store bought, frozen one to be my favorite and a whole lot less expensive. And the best part is that I always have one in my freezer ready for anytime the mood hits me. Twenty minutes in the oven, no calls for delivery or going out of my home. I guess it is one of the short cuts old people make.

Before anyone says... "It's not like authentic pizza", I agree. I had pizza in Naples, Italy a few years back and that is as authentic as one can get. However when it comes to American Pizza, it is just as good as any and for my personal tastes I even like it better than the authentic one.
Detroit style is just as great as the Sicilian style.
 
Last weekend. I've made our own pizza for years. It was deep dish with bacon and turkey pepperoni.
 

Two hours ago! It was leftover Ragu frozen pizza, augmented with mucho toppings.
 
Two weeks ago. We have it once every three months or so. Just too darn expensive to have more often. Growing up in the 1960's, money was tight and pizza growing up was a Chef Boyardee pizza kit made at home, or a cheap grocery store frozen pizza, with my mom adding toppings at home. I was in College before I had a pizza from a pizza parlor.

Growing up, we always called the Chef Boyardee pizza "stinky pizza." I still like to have it a couple times a year.
 
We ordered pizza from a new place in town just last week. It's NY style pizza and it was really good so we'll definitely get in again sometime. We don't get pizza too often though because of the carbs, saturated fat, cholesterol, etc. But it sure is tasty!
 
I make a cheap and easy pizza at home at least once or twice a month. I stick dabs of leftover meat and veggies in the freezer for that purpose. One 8 oz can of tomato sauce makes enough sauce for two pizzas with the addition of basil and oregano - I just freeze half for next time. Whatever cheese I have around gets grated on top. For the crust I either make the easy two ingredient pizza dough (self rising flour and Greek yogurt) or buy a pizza dough ball from a local grocery store for less than $2.

We still go out for it at least once a month and also occasionally buy a frozen pizza. I'd be happy to eat pizza every day. It's enough of a staple that DH will say "we haven't had pizza in a while" and request it.
