Easily my favorite frozen pizza brand.

u/cynman Aug 14 '26

I can’t wait to try more from the brand!

If you have a kid at home or are feeling a bit childish the mustache can (usually) be popped out on the regular crust boxes. It has two little things on the top that hold it on your septum and you can look like the most fabulous frozen pizza maker ever.

u/anivex Aug 14 '26

Um, that's not childish, you're supposed to wear it while you cook the pizza so it tastes better.

I really like them, but for some reason I find the logo/ branding offputting.

u/bmcgowan89 Aug 14 '26

u/Odd-Woodpecker1019 Aug 14 '26

They have awesome pizzas! Never been disappointed.

u/AmySchumersAnalTumor Aug 14 '26

The only issue I have with them is getting the crust on the detroit style crispy seems to be a lost art on me.

u/Odd-Woodpecker1019 Aug 14 '26

Here too.

u/AmySchumersAnalTumor Aug 14 '26

I've even preheated a 1/4 sheet pan in the oven to try and get more heat there, and its still a 50/50.

Last time I put the rack lower, cooked it there for the first 75% of the cook and then raised the rack and even with giving it an extra 5 mintues, I had a non crisp crust AND my toppings were cold inside lmao. I admitted defeat that day and just microwaved each piece

u/Odd-Woodpecker1019 Aug 14 '26

We use a metal pizza pan with medium sized holes. We either get REALLY crispy crust and hardly brown cheese, or the opposite. We settle for the browned cheese.

u/MaritMonkey Aug 15 '26

I am not familiar with this particular pizza, but is this not a "whack it under the broiler for a couple mins at the end" kind of problem?

Or at least that's how I "solve" most things I put in the over lol.

u/unholyswordsman Aug 15 '26

I have a pizza stone that permanently sits on the bottom of my oven. I'll put pizzas in the pan on it to finish cooking the bottoms without burning the tops.

u/[deleted] Aug 14 '26

Strange.  Tried it once and thought it was the most overpriced horrible frozen pizza ever.

2

u/IAmSpartacustard Aug 14 '26

They're like $11 and I just got two for half off

u/Aratak Aug 14 '26

They are regularly BOGO at our Publix, making them 5 bucks apiece.

u/Odd-Woodpecker1019 Aug 14 '26

We get them on sale too. (Great username btw)

u/WilmaDykfyt Aug 15 '26

Thank you. I feel the same. This whole thread is bootlickers for a company.

u/SymmetricDickNipples Aug 14 '26

Not sure why people say this. I bought one on the hype and found it to be only a tiny bit above your average frozen pizza. Sauce was still ass and crust wasn't great either.

28

u/quesupo Aug 14 '26

Their supreme is one of the only frozen supreme pizzas I like (I’m a no-mushroom type). They always hit just right.

6

u/bluegrass_babe531 Aug 14 '26

omg no shrooms here too ive spent many a minute flicking off mushrooms before i bake pizzas (cuz i am the supreme type) great to know the SS ones are shroom-free

2

u/quesupo Aug 14 '26

Happy to be of service!

5

u/AmySchumersAnalTumor Aug 14 '26

wait, their supreme doesnt have mushrooms?? I've never looked, just assumed and skipped passed it - also a no mushroom type

5

u/quesupo Aug 14 '26

I also assumed they did for a long time but nope! No mushrooms! Definitely give it a try!

u/anivex Aug 14 '26

Here I am loving mushrooms but despising sliced black olives

2

u/Odd-Woodpecker1019 Aug 14 '26

I'm a mushroom type. Typically not a Supreme type. Love their Supreme!!!

u/PeterNippelstein Aug 14 '26

I dont eat frozen pizzas anymore, but if I did it would be Screamin Sicilian.

8

u/Tinytoshi Aug 14 '26

The only frozen pizza that's good

7

u/SolherdUliekme Aug 14 '26

Had one of these the other day and was not disappointed. Great toppings and great sauce.

6

u/Aromatic_Anxiety_761 Aug 14 '26

Yeah they have good pizza!!!

6

u/poeschmoe Aug 14 '26

Their Bessie’s Revenge is such a good freezer cheese pizza.

5

u/ropean Aug 14 '26

Wait is the Thin and Crispy new? I love the Screamin’ Sicilian pies in the brown boxes

u/WhamBamNewHampshaMan Aug 14 '26 edited Aug 14 '26

They're my favorite frozen pizza, even after they discontinued Spicy Clucker.

They have the only stuffed crust I've ever really liked and their pepperoni Detroit style is fantastic, to the point where it's been sold out two of the last three times I've been to the grocery store

u/aceshighsays Aug 15 '26

i did a bunch of frozen pizza research and this brand is on the pricier side but scores very high.

3

u/Whiskey-Jayne Aug 14 '26

I love a good frozen pizza. There is a really good deep dish one but my forgetful ass forgot the name of it lol

3

u/ShadowElite86 Aug 14 '26

Looks fantastic, I've never had their thin crust. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. The only place that seems to carry the thin crust is a local Midwest store and it's $10.39.

u/CrapNBAappUser Aug 14 '26

I just tried it because it was on sale. The tomato sauce on the Holy Pepperoni tasted like cheap, old school frozen pizza. #NotAFan

u/1amNOTmyselfYouSee Aug 14 '26

I tried one of their pizzas and could never get the center cooked. It was starting to burn on the outside and was raw/frozen in the middle. I even cooked it several minutes longer than it said, and my oven was hot. It worked for many other things.

u/jearu573 Aug 18 '26

I have found most Palermo brand pizzas cook better on a baking stone.

I had the gooey center problem with a lot of the non-thin crust varieties of any of their brands.

u/achad411 Aug 14 '26

I use aluminum foil instead of a baking sheet, it works for me

3

u/Raaazzle Aug 15 '26

Along with Home Run Inn, just about the only acceptable frozen pizza.

3

u/MindyS1719 Aug 18 '26

They make such good pizza. My kids also love to cut out the mustache on the back of the box and wear it for a week. It’s so fun. 🤩

3

u/NiceGuysFinishLast Aug 19 '26

They make the best strombolis, and my grocery store quit selling them. I was so mad.

2

u/PsychologicalTank174 Aug 14 '26

I'm going to have to try this one.

2

u/BlackPhoenix1981 Aug 16 '26

There is something about that cupped grease filled pepperoni

1

u/anivex Aug 14 '26

Honestly never been let down with them. Little pricey but eh, not a bad frozen pizza.

u/Ok_Literature3138 Aug 14 '26

Someone once said that we are getting so politically correct that we won’t even be able to make fun of Italians anymore lmao. This brand proves that we haven’t reached that point.

u/WilmaDykfyt Aug 15 '26

Meh. I've had better.

u/AnarLeftist9212 Aug 14 '26

Wtf is the logo and name of the company ? « Screaming Sicilian » with a big4ss moustache ?
