<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Over the last few weeks, I\u2019ve been working to uncover a massive conspiracy in the frozen food industry. I\u2019m almost ready to blow the cover off this whole thing.<\/p>\n
Between you and me, I think DiGiorno is a front for the Italian mafia.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s the evidence, you ask? First, obviously, the name. \u201cDiGiorno\u201d clearly sounds like a nephew of Vito Corleone. Second, the entire concept of DiGiorno pizza is that you can toss it in the oven and fuhgeddaboudit<\/em>!<\/p>\n Now, here\u2019s the last piece of the puzzle: the name of DiGiorno\u2019s latest product, the Crispy Pan Pizza. I\u2019ve got to figure out whether the \u201cCrispy\u201d title is authentic, or just one of those ironic gang nicknames, like when a tall guy goes by \u201cShorty,\u201d or that hefty member of the crew who\u2019s known as \u201cSlim.\u201d<\/p>\n In related news, I just realized why my college Chemistry professor always called me Einstein.<\/p>\n DiGiorno\u2019s new Crispy Pan Pizza comes in four varieties: Pepperoni, Four Cheese, Supreme, and Three Meat. I\u2019m telling you, this mob rolls deep. But I don\u2019t have the time (or room in my stomach) to investigate all four members of the Crispy Pan Pizza gang, so I\u2019ll just go with Pepperoni.<\/p>\n The Crispy Pan Pizza features DiGiorno\u2019s usual mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce, and preservative free crust, but what makes this product different is the included single-use baking pan. It\u2019s designed to make the edges of the pizza brown and crisp while leaving the rest of the crust soft and fluffy. After 22-24 minutes in the oven at 400 degrees, it\u2019s time to see if that baking pan is the real deal, or just a cheap marketing scheme created by some wiseguy.<\/p>\n Well, what do you know? The pizza emerged from the oven perfectly golden brown with a crispy, caramelized layer of cheese stretching to the edges of the crust. The good news: this baking pan works as advertised. The bad news: \u201cCrispy\u201d isn\u2019t just an ironic nickname, and my entire conspiracy theory is sunk.<\/p>\n As for the rest of the Crispy Pan Pizza, it\u2019s pretty much standard DiGiorno fare. The sauce is plentiful, sweet, and slightly zesty. The cheese is relatively lacking and doesn\u2019t have that authentic fresh cheese \u201cpull,\u201d but hey, it\u2019s a frozen pizza. DiGiorno\u2019s pepperoni is par for the course when it comes to frozen pizza toppings \u2014- meaty, pretty salty, and somewhat spicy, too. All of these toppings rest nicely atop the thick and pillowy pan crust, which is buttery in flavor without being too oily or greasy.<\/p>\n I bought the DiGiorno Crispy Pan Pizza to expose a modern day Italian mafia, and all I got was a delicious frozen pizza. The toppings are all DiGiorno\u2019s above average quality, and the pan crust is impressive by frozen pizza standards. It\u2019s a little on the pricey side, but I\u2019d say it\u2019s one of the better frozen pizzas you\u2019ll find.<\/p>\n Oh, and that conspiracy I mentioned earlier?
