Toppings for frozen pizza

Terry said:

When my nephew visits he won't eat any of my cooking, and I don't
blame him. So when he is here, it is frozen pizza or soup.

Anyway we have been getting 3 meat pizzas and adding ham, onion,
mushrooms and cheeze. I was thinking about trying to add some bacon.

Would bacon cook in the 21 min time it takes to make the pizza?

You want the entire grease output from howevermany slices of bacon
puddled on top of your pizza? Are you insane?

Good idea or bad?

I would cook the bacon separately then add the cooked back on to your
frozen pizza and put that in the oven. Otherwise you might get very
greasy pizza.

There are also very nice forms of Italian Bacon called Pancetta that is
sliced paper thin and could be tossed on top of the hot pizza.

Cook it first.

The real solution is to cook something neutral and inoffensive
(other than frozen pizza) and if your nephew doesn't like it,
then he can starve or leave.

You can buy pre-cooked bacon that will cook in 30 seconds.

Bad. It would make what is already a fat-laden meal even greasier.

As long as you're adding all the stuff anyway, why don't you just make
your own pizza? If you're not used to doing it just get a box of
jiffy pizza crust mix. It only needs to sit for a few minutes and is
far better than a frozen one. I make my own dough but I have had the
jiffy crust. It's kinda bready but compared to frozen pizza who
cares?

I would cook the bacon separately then add the cooked back on to your
frozen pizza and put that in the oven. Otherwise you might get very
greasy pizza.

There are also very nice forms of Italian Bacon called Pancetta that is
sliced paper thin and could be tossed on top of the hot pizza.

If the kid's fussy enough to refuse to eat anything other than soup or
frozen pizza, he's not going to eat pancetta.

I think he should be given proper food, actually, and either eat it or
go hungry.

I agree with you 100%. You are very wise.

No, you would need to pre-cook the bacon.

I add canned black olives, usually chopped because they are really

The Jiffy mix is worse than any frozen pizza crust I've had in a long
time.

It's been a long time since I had it so maybe I'm incorrect. I
thought the OP was talking about adding things to a frozen pizza. Do
they sell frozen crusts only? I don't spend much time looking in the
freezer cases. Either way I'd prefer even a bad dough over a frozen
pre-made pizza. Frozen pizzas are for 2AM when I'm too drunk to drive
to White Castle for Slyders. <g>

The only thing I can think of right now about being a considerate
husband is that I no longer eat those unless I'm headed out for a
camping trip w/o the SO. They are horrible fart producers, and she
won't even tolerate them undigested in her presence. (I just read that
to her, and she laughed). That said, I really like those things,
especially ordered extra pickle and onion.

Frozen pizzas are better than the Chef Boyardee, Jeno's, whatever
kits, and pretty much all of those crust mixes are laden with
murderous trans fats. The frozen pizzas have to put ingredients on
the label, and almost all of them have gone away from PHVO.

The only time I can eat them is when I'm drunk or hung over. Either
way they're gas bombs. I have them only about once a year. Louise
has a clone recipe that tastes just like them using onion soup mix.
Her old friends always request she bring them to parties. Awhile back
she was going to make them and I said I'd make dago beefs instead.
The beefs went over just fine, but people were disappointed she didn't
bring the clones. <shrug>

I'll just keep making my own from scratch.

Cook it first. Adding it to the pizza raw would make it super greasy.

You can get Boboli. If you like that kind of pizza. I used to use frozen
bread dough. But I like a thick crust.

My bread maker does a decent pizza crust. I like thin crust and Steven
likes thick crust pizza. Frozen pizza is only eaten when absolutely no
other means of nourishment is available. Neither of is fond of the
frozen variety 😉 I ordered pizza carry out last night from Pizza Hut. I
can't even begin to tell you how lousy the thin crust pizza from there
is. The crust just kinda shatters. It's a cross between a really
brittle cracker and puff pastry that that was accidentally dried out.

Boboli sells pre-made pizza crusts. They're refrigerated, not frozen IIRC.

I hear ya! For a thick pizza there's always the french bread kind. Get
some of that Coles (I think that's the brand) frozen "garlic bread"; it's
already split clear down the middle so there's a quick start 🙂 Cut it into
more manageable pieces. Slather on some pizza sauce and sprinkle it with a
dried Italian herb blend (I like Penzey's) if needed. Add whatever toppings
you want (not bacon unless it's already cooked!), shredded mozzarella. Even
better, use a fresh mozz and add it in little blobs so that it melts and
browns in little mozzarella puddles! LOL Pop it in the oven and bake it
about 15 minutes (or is it 20? it's been a long time since I did this, but
the bread is frozen). This makes a lot of nice (albeit sloppy) garlicky
"french bread" type pizzas.
