Default Boxed pizza

When it first came out, many yrs ago, Di Giorno was a revelation.
Tasted great, better than most pizza chains, and at half the price.
Since then, they've done like most other products and reduced the
quality to no better than eating the box. Freschetta has taken a
different reduction tack. They make each pizza with a dry, no
content edge, the size of a 4WD tire! Any Freshy pizza still tastes
great, but you only get 55-60% of the actual pie with anything but
bare bread crust.

I've given up on store bought. OTOH, local chains, or even indies,
pretty much suck, the one exception being a local microbrewery/pizza
place. Great Hawaiian/rootbeer sauce pizza, but $10 fer single
serving pie. I'm gonna start making my own, again, despite the high
price of cheese and meat toppings.

The best pizza I ever tasted was from a couple of Iranian brothers.
Simple. Thin crust, sauce, fresh crushed garlic, and feta cheese. I
long to duplicate it.
