It’s been a few weeks since we’ve done a Thursday Frozen Pizza Review but this week the stars have aligned and it’s time to pop a pizza in the MBIP Pizza Oven and give it a review and a score.

Time to begin this saucy and cheesy post!

Here we are in the frozen pizza aisle at Schnuck’s on University. And something crazy has happened, I found a frozen pizza I have never seen or heard of before.

It’s Grando’s Roman-Style Four Cheese Pizza. It’s made in Italy.

Wikipedia explains this style of pizza as, “originating in Rome.”

Wow, that statement is a, “no shit Sherlock” moment for sure! I thought it was named after Roman Polanski because it liked to have sex with underage girls.

Thanks for clearing that up Wikipedia!

Here it is out of the box and I have never seen a pizza like this! It kind of looks like a canoe for a very tiny Italian person.

Into the pre-heated oven it goes. The box said it’ll take about 18 minutes to cook…

So let’s watch this 18 minute and 29 second video of TikTok pet videos.

The little monkey drinking the soda with a straw was my favorite. It made me think of Davy Jones!

Okay, it’s Roman Pizza time, so let’s just roam over to the pizza oven and take it out…I’m cracking my self up over here!

Wow, it looks really tasty! The crust has a nice well-done look to it and the cheese is bubbling in the center.

There it is plated, I’m really starting to get excited over this!

The out of oven pizza actually looks better than the box photo, that’s a rarity!

Now we season it with some Texas Pete Hot Sauce, some finely ground black pepper, Butch’s seasoning and Butch’s sauce.

It looks and smells fabulous. Now we’ll watch another video while it cools down to room temperature.

I found this review on YouTube and this dick-head give it a thumbs up. I give his review a thumbs up too, he can stick both of his thumbs right up his ass!

Okay, now it’s time for our tasting and review!

This pizza is really tasty and unique!

Usually I prefer thin crust, but this crust is dense and very crispy. The sauce has a nice zip to it and the cheese is rich and plentiful!

Frozen Pizza Rating

11. rating_9-30-21.jpg

I’m giving this a 7.6 rating.

It’s not my usual style, but I really enjoyed it. And how many pizzas are custom-made for a good Roman Polanski reference and joke?
