So I don't need to.

It also seemed strange that it has cheddar cheese, at least the one in the ad.

So I guess someone thought this would be a good idea?

The cheddar cheese was a big stop sign for me.

I can't imagine anything that looks so bad in the commercial being edible.

I have heard from others that it does indeed suck and any frozen pizza would be a better choice.

It should come with a Surgeon General's warning to high blood pressure patients. This thing could be used as a salt lick for your cattle.

scalloped cheese and alternative type crust over the past decades I've managed to largely SKIP.

But once upon a time, "good" NY style pizza was thin, thin, thin crust, so that you could focus on the tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings. Maybe that isn't really popular outside NYC anymore? At any rate, I just forego the pizza.

Have you ever tried Palermo's thin crust pizza?

They sell it frozen at Costco and other grocers.

At Costco it is a "supreme", and they have pepperoni at my local grocer.

To me, it is better than any restaurant pizza that I have had in many years.

in the freezer and bakes them in the oven at work for lunch. You’re right...they’re not bad at all. Thin crust and decent sauce.

I do intermittent fasting, only eating after 5PM, so I eat the entirety of it, which feels excessive. But in terms of calories, it really isn't.

I shy away from pizza because of the sodium...I’m always insanely thirsty after eating it. I’m trying to work the intermittent fasting into my routine too per my naturopath’s suggestion....as the chief meal planner and cook for my family it isn’t easy. My fasting tends to roll from 7pm until after noon the next day. It is effective, however.

I love eating at night, which is why I fast from 11 pm until 5 pm the next day.

My other motivation is that the body produces Human Growth Hormone at about 4 am. It is wiped away by the first meal.

Talking about New York slice pizza...I won't be in the city until November 27; I'm going to photograph the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Parade. I land at JFK that morning, do a little shopping, hit NY Pizza Suprema, and head to Philadelphia on Amtrak in the afternoon.

As long as the sauce is good and the crust is THIN--I'm happy.

Little Caesars. I hadn't had any in years, and tried one again a few months ago: It was awful; It tasted like a salt lick. We call them Little Seizures now.

Maybe my taste buds have actually matured a bit since the only pizza we've had in the last few years has been brick oven baked.

I haven't heard of that before. Could be a good option for my adult son who is a type 1 diabetic. I'll share that with him, thanks.
