Sam’s Choice Italia Margherita Pizza Review. As a Jersey guy the thought of buying and eating a frozen Pizza is unheard of. Mainly because you can walk down in any street in Jersey to any one of the 50 million pizza joints and get a fresh large pie for a little over 10 bucks depending on the place.
I do know Bella Re’s Pizza on Kearny Ave in Kearny NJ I got a large pie for 8 bucks. I mean yes that was two years ago but still, the point is I am used to just walking wherever getting a few fresh slices and call it a day. But where I stay in South Florida it’s just not like that. I refuse to eat Dominoes or Papa Johns even worse friggin Pizza Hut where the crust is like a doughy piece of birthday cake. Ugghhh..
So I have been stomaching frozen pizza for a few years now when I am in South Florida well because the Mom and Pop places down here have lost their minds. $4.50 for two slices of plain cheese pizza some places give you some pretty big slices but at almost 10 to 15 bucks the price of a small or medium pizza. To be honest I know people have rent and bills to pay, but Pizza is at least a 110% profit, they don’t pay the waitresses much because they mostly work off tips.
I have worked in a pizzeria so I know how it goes, and besides you will never get true NY/NJ pizza it will look like but never taste like it. That is a conversation at another time.
So a few days ago I was just starving and in Walmart, most of the food I wanted was gone so fuck it frozen pizza it is. Most of that was gone too but what caught my eye would change my opinion of frozen pizza forever. and we are talking about Sam’s Choice Italia Margherita Pizza and it was thin crust so this was a definite hell yes.
I removed it from its box and popped it into the preheated over of 425 degrees and waited for my 17 to 20 min and left it in there a little longer I love a good crispy pizza with melted cheese. Took it out and cut it into sections and it smelled amazing but I thought I was imagining things I mean this pizza smelled like it was right out of Sabatino’s Pizza in Maplewood.
So I took the first of many slices ok so I ate the whole friggin thing don’t judge. First off the crust was not soggy nice and crispy not to mention it had herbs in it, the combine it with the oregano and the same herbs on the pizza itself. The mozzarella was not cheap tasting it was really good I mean like Polly-O good. The tomatoes were fantastic, it really was a good damn pizza. And it was only 5 bucks.
Like I said I do not take my pizza lightly.
I give the Sam’s Choice Margherita Pizza 5 stars and unless you are in driving distance of your own personal pizza place. I highly recommend it or let’s just say you do not feel like going out to spend 10 to 15 bucks this is a very good alternative even if you buy two its a tad under 10 bucks.
Now in case you are in New Jersey in the Maplewood area go check out Sabatinos Pizza you will not be dissapointed.
