Though I don't purchase any of these brands it's a bit surprising that they are being pulled. There were a few Stouffer's frozen things I used to buy back when I ate that kind of stuff but I haven't bought them for many years now.

Something I noticed though is this:

$1:

The company does not manufacture these products in Canada, so no manufacturing facilities in Canada will be affected.

Yet the picture of the pizza box shows "Proudly prepared in Canada".

The frozen pizza I buy is locally produced and I haven't bought frozen meals since I stopped working. But I have a question... WTF is 'premium water'?

[herbie]

Gluten free & fat free water? The Diet water didn't sell.
Or is it the water you pay $400 a year for your house and they pay 1c per million litres and sell for $3 a litre?

Won't miss their frozen pizza. Haven't been desperate enough to buy more than 1 a year

Welcome to the shadowy world of product packaging. 'Prepared in Canada' can mean the pizza is brought here frozen, and toppings are added here - or it is simply put in boxes here.

'Product of Canada' can mean it is built in Canada from parts manufactured elsewhere.

'Made in Canada from 100% Canadian sources' is the only one where everything is made from and assembled in Canada.

I'm like 90% sure on those.

I usually just buy a generic pizza, if they are on sale for $3 or less. I just have an air fryer, and it won't fit most frozen pizzas.

It's been quite a few years since we last bought any frozen pizza. We tried different brands/types and none were ever that good. I used to make my own but finding a good shell was challenging after I couldn't find a particular brand that I preferred and I'm too lazy to make it from scratch. We have a great local place to order from and they make them fresh. I know they do because it's very close to where I work and occasionally I've gone there on my break to get a slice (they always have a couple on the go) and have watched them build them from the crust up.

I keep a few in the freezer for those days when I come in late and don't want to take an hour to make something. Throw some olives, sundried tomato, a few capers and candied onion (always in the fridge), and some cheeze, and it makes a quick cheap meal.

Not gourmet, but fixes the tummy rumbles. And I won't pay more than $3 for one.

Sorry, only sold in Quebec and in a Toronto Walmart. It's the best frozen pizza I've ever had.

If we buy frozen pizza, we buy the Dr. Oetker ones when they go on sale - typically cheese or something plain, then add extra toppings and cheese to make them better than just a frozen pizza.

Typically though, it's easier to buy a pizza kit from Costco and freeze the dough. Then when you want a pizza, you pull one out, top it with whatever you want and bake at 450 for 15 minutes. In an ideal world, I'd make my own pizza dough, but I never have enough time for that except maybe on the weekend.

I sometimes spend a weekend making prep dishes to make cooking easier. Things like a vegetable/mushroom stock that I can then use for Ramen, or things like pickled onions that you can throw on a cheese sandwich or pizza. And sometimes I make pizza dough, or bread dough, throw it into balls and freeze it. Put it in the fridge the night before, easy meal the next day.

That's why I won't pay more than $3 for frozen. I know I can knock a few off for less than that, if I get off my ass.

I've always "jazzed up" frozen pizza with toppings from home. Even takeout pizzas... I have my own stock of anchovies at home as nobody even offers them as a topping choice.
Nobody like them so we don't offer them
Well fuck you, you wouldn't know a pizza from a cow pie.

The wife and I would sometimes hit the deli in Prince George and make pizzas from scratch, just like my Italian grandma used to, Delicious.... but $60 ea...
