Have you found any good frozen pizzas at the grocery?

Not too often!

I am amazed how good and large the cooked or ready to cook pizzas are that can be bought at the big box warehouse clubs.  Have you tried them, whole or by the slice?

I like Jack's Pizza. Fair price, but like all grocery store pizza, it never has enough ingredients. So I usually add sliced olives, ham, onions, and then some extra shredded mozzarella cheese. I get a decent pizza without a big increase in cost.

I have seen that brand with one or two ingredients for as low as four or five for $10.

One should buy things you use when they have good sales.  Such as buy two and get three 12 packs of sodas.  It is ridiculous though that some 12 packs of 12 ounce national brand canned sodas are often usually sold for $9.99 or $10.99, but store brands are usually much cheaper.

The best prices for sodas seem to be around holidays throughout the year.

Be aware though that diet or sugar free sodas have a much shorter shelf life than regular sodas.

This one. I am ever so slightly addicted to it. It's expensive compared to other frozen pizzas but omg so nice.

I usually get the Supreme or the Canadian Bacon pizzas. They used to have a really good Mexican Style pizza, but I can't find that now.

I don't drink sodas, so I never buy them. If I need a fix, I'll have a root beer with my burger and fries but that is rare.

What exactly is root beer? I've seen and heard it mentioned probably a thousand times. Is it anything like the UK Ginger Beer?

Similar, but not quite. Instead of ginger, it is made from sassafras root with a hint of licorice. It is also sometimes called sasparilla. The sassafras tree is native to the U.S. so if you find it elsewhere, it is imported.

I do like licorice. I may have to try this. Almost everything is imported in the UK. I am sure I can find it. Thank you. <3

You might even be able to find the A&W brand. That's the best in my opinion. The only one that came close was a local brewer called "1880" or something that brewed it in copper kettles. It was awesome, but they moved or went out of business or something.

Then I just found this:
"Sarsaparilla was not completely "banned," but the use of its key ingredient, sassafras, was outlawed by the FDA in 1960 because scientific studies found that the compound safrole within sassafras is carcinogenic, meaning it can cause cancer when consumed in significant amounts; this is why most commercially produced sarsaparilla today uses artificial flavoring instead of real sassafras."

Because "artificial" flavoring is always safer than "natural" ingredients. 

My local supermarket sells it. At least online, lol.

And not a bad price, considering.

Made in AUSTRALIA? What the ... 
LMAO. Try it and see what you think.

Have you tried Cream Soda?
Like drinking carbonated vanilla ice cream. So good!

I like fresh pizzas better.

Yes, once. I am very sensitive to sweet things. Chocolate makes me nauseous. I am allergic to refined sugars. I did try that once and I don't remember what happened after. That stuff is so super sweet it's like... I might have twitched just looking at it.

I mean... I don't know hahaha. You both start with A! Granted one place has everything out to kill you, and the other is Australia, but you know... it might be good!

I ordered a pizza to eat in a restaurant last year.

It came to my table and I ate two pieces. The waiter came by and said he accidently had more ingredients than I requested on it and told me that a correct pizza would be made and I could take both home at no extra charge. 

The first pizza was okay except for the eyeballs and fish tails.  Just kidding.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, again, Chrissy.

Quick question, though. Why would you order pizza in a restaurant?

Fresh hand-tossed pizza with fresh (not frozen) ingredients made exactly to your specifications.
That is the bomb-diggety.

Why not, if they have or you think they may have good tasting pizza and you want to eat at a restaurant?
