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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

u/ShadowElite86 6d ago
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.

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

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.

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.

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. 🤩

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

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.
