FOND MEMORY.....I was born in 1954....when I was a kid in the early / mid 1960s my brother and I thought it was the greatest thing to go out and buy a "frozen pizza" and cook it up right before the late night saturday monster movies on TV. We had to be real quiet and shut both kitchen doors because if my father knew we had pizza he would "confiscate" a couple of pieces from us. LOL...we thought we were real gourmets because we sprinkled "oregano" on it. We thought that was a secret ingredient
"Beats going out" that's so hilarious. "Hey, Babe, wanna go out, we'll catch a movie, go dancing..." "I got an even better idea, I'll make a pizza with Chef Boy Ar Dee's pizza mix."
Hey now, this can be a great time for you & your girl! Bring a nice red wine, have flirtatious fun making the pizza TOGETHER, light a couple candles and make it a romantic night to remember. 💕
"The Chef's Touch" meant that Chef Ettore Boiardi {"Boy-Ar-Dee"} personally had a hand in creating this pizza mix. He wasn't a "figurehead", or a mere "trade mark"...he was a real Italian chef who discovered, at his restauarant in the late 1920's, that his customers wanted a reasonably-priced "do-it-yourself" spaghetti dinner. That was the beginning of the "Chef Boy-Ar-Dee" business. He continued to experiment and create new products (canned spaghetti and ravioli, etc.) until his death in 1985.
He also contributed to the US Armed Forces in WW2 by developing a canning process to provide canned meals in ration packs. He later continued this after the war for his now ubiquitous canned pasta meals.
I've never seen the sausage kit that was mentioned earlier, but like others who remember this great product, I buy the kit every once in a while. I have been enjoying Chef Boy-Ar-Dee pizza since 1954. I wish they would bring back the single pizza box, though.
This brings back fond memories. I made several of these pizza`s back in the mid 1970`s They were great !!!! After seeing this commercial I went out & bought more of these (Alot More) I hope they are still as good as they were 33years ago.
These have always been my favorite. In these tough times I think the old chef would be proud that his idea is being revived. thanks for this great video!
Keep in mind back "then" pizza was "not" easy to find. There was not a pizza shop every 50 feet like there is now. Pizza was usually only found at "Drive in movie theatres" and some Bars had it. So....this was a big deal to be able to have pizza when ever you wanted.
The kit is really good. Just buy shredded cheese and toppings for the pizza, then you're all set. The grated cheese is basically Parmesan cheese that you normally put on top of your pizza.
After Mom's experiment to make a pizza about 1960, without ever seeing or tasting one, failed, our family ate lots of those. On a very unstructured Thanksgiving, I made one for myself, then sat on the hardwood floor of my room to enjoy it. I washed it down with a bottle of Teem, Pepsi's copy of 7-Up.
They still have these in North Carolna grocery stores. I used to buy them a lot, but I haven't bought on in about three years. But I'm going to buy another one this week, They still make the cheese and the Pepperoni kits, But I believe they discontinued the Sausage one a long time ago. If you can get beyond the stinky Romano and Parmesan cheese when it's baking. But I always buy extra Mozerella cheese, and some hamburger and some more pepperoni and an onion and put it on the pizza and it's delicios this way.
Some of the boxes have a feed a family on the back, you put the code number inside and it's supposed to give a little bit of money from the bar code or the receipt toward feeding a family.
I HAD THIS ON X MAS IN 1977. MY MOM WAS DOING A WELDER AT THE TIME AND I HERD THEM HAVING RELATIONS. NOW I MAKE THIS PRODUCT TO REMIND ME OF THE HOT DOG ENTERING MA ON X MAS....
"Hey kids, want to be a loser who never goes out? Buy this pizza in a box! Comes with flour made from an Asian hairpiece, sugary sauce and wood shavings. Makes one 12 inch pizza that's thinner than the cardboard it came on! Only the best from Chef Boyardee." Puke.
in answer to you post of two years ago..."I wonder why these teens did not want to go out for pizza?" Answer: Back then pizza was not easy to find. Very few places sold it...like at the "drive-in-movies" or "carnivals", or an Italian restaurant. Some Local bars might have it. It was not like today where there is dozens of pizza shops in every direction. In fact I am 58 years old. The first pizza shop in my town wasn't till I was about 12 years old in 1966
PRODUCT REVIEW; ...PROs: Easy to make, does not need refridgeration, inexpensive, the sauce is actually quite good....slightly sweet with noticable oregano flavor. CONs: A little messy to make, the cheese is very granulated with a very pungent "pukey & stinking feet" smell that will permiate your entire house. OTHER NOTICABLE TRAITS: the crust is almost "bread-like" but not objectionable at all. TASTE: far better than I had imagined, not bad....I'd buy it again.
yes, they still make it but not that many supermarkets carry it. The "shaws" supermarkets in massachusetts carry it.....the plain chese & peperoni mix. I just bought 3 Chef Boy Ar Dee pizza kits today. Will try them and post a comment here in a few days/weeks
Sometimes looking back is a way to deal with the future. I wonder who is worse? The person enjoying a little retro video or the person complaining about them??? Obviously you had enough time to comment about them, so you do have time on your hands.
huh...she never awnsers them when they ask if the sauce and cheese is real pizza...she just says it great and its the best they ever ate.....It could be made of like hair or people for all we know.
Commercials in the 50's were weird? I don't see anyone with pink hair. I don't see some guy selling insurance by pretending to be various catastrophes. I don't see a man thinking that because his wife is doing laundry, it's a perfect time to drag her off to bed. I'll take the weird.

Are you sure you're not me? Everything matches!

I doubt it.
It's true.
“Is the pizza real fresh?” Gee, i dunno, it just CAME OUT OF MY OVEN WHADDYA THINK?!

TOUGH TIMES? Boy, you ain't seen nothin' yet!
@@MrTruckerf Bruh you commenting on a 14 year old comment
I had these all the time growing up in the 1970s-1980s
@Scott Turner I had it rough until i was in High School when my dad got a promotion and starting making good money in the mid 1980s.

70's and 80's commercials are my favorite but the 50's and 60's ones are neat too.

I'm sure to it, it's fine.
They do encourage you to add additional toppings if you want (at least I noticed that on the back of the package).
Some of the boxes have a feed a family on the back, you put the code number inside and it's supposed to give a little bit of money from the bar code or the receipt toward feeding a family.
Sheri451 They got cheese kits in Texas.
I Remeber Chef Boyardee. I love his noodles and meatballs.
WoW wonderful commercial
I make my own pizzas, so this really turned me on. Thanks for posting it!
The ad still sells after 30+ years. lol
You can buy them at walmart. And some stores still do sell single boxes.
I HAD THIS ON X MAS IN 1977. MY MOM WAS DOING A WELDER AT THE TIME AND I HERD THEM HAVING RELATIONS. NOW I MAKE THIS PRODUCT TO REMIND ME OF THE HOT DOG ENTERING MA ON X MAS....
Toledo had a number of places in the 50's.
Awesome! I hope to try Chef Boyardee Pizza someday! ^_^ I love Chef Boyardee canned meals! :D
These things were fun. Good? Probably not but when you're 6 everything tastes good.
What a great ad! Thanks!
I see where Rob Renezeti and Genndy Tartarvosky got their style from!
Dollar General carries those boxes! So does my local supermarket!
Thanks for the heads-up!
0:04 This guy is built like a chipotle burrito
Would love to have seen the series of meetings between CBD management and the ad agency in creating this. Now what would be entertaining.
Showing that a commercial can be drawn even by the average 12 year-old.
Does anyone else think that the people in this commercial look like they belong in "The Jetsons"?
There's a small food mart that has them near my house.

Puke.
That was awesome/hilarious. Thank you to poster.

Man, I hate living in the 2000's! Wish I could've lived back then!

old school rhyming
i like it
yes, they still make it but not that many supermarkets carry it. The "shaws" supermarkets in massachusetts carry it.....the plain chese & peperoni mix. I just bought 3 Chef Boy Ar Dee pizza kits today. Will try them and post a comment here in a few days/weeks
These pizzas are way better if you put mozzarella cheese on them.
I remember this.........shit I'm old!
@partygirl209 yes they do,well I don't know about around the country,but where I live, I get these most of the time. :P
Sometimes looking back is a way to deal with the future. I wonder who is worse? The person enjoying a little retro video or the person complaining about them??? Obviously you had enough time to comment about them, so you do have time on your hands.
@dylanew5 You mean the in 21st century. The 2000s (2000 to 2009) were last decade.
LOL ! Awesome.
huh...she never awnsers them when they ask if the sauce and cheese is real pizza...she just says it great and its the best they ever ate.....It could be made of like hair or people for all we know.
MMMMM!
We still eat this stuff, except we augment it with Hormel pepperoni.
did people misunderstanded the phrase ¨with the chef touch in it¨ back then?
Tried it....threw up the following night
wow
this is hilarious
why the hell are they dancing
0:20 It even has cheese?? Wow!! ☻
Why does or beat going out?
@SpongeStorm4000 Which is in the 2000's
Who did the voice of the guy? Daws Butler?
do they still have these?!?!?
I used to love that when I was a kid, Now it tastes like shit. lol
I prefer them to the junk we see on TV nowadays.
Commercials in the 50's were weird? I don't see anyone with pink hair. I don't see some guy selling insurance by pretending to be various catastrophes. I don't see a man thinking that because his wife is doing laundry, it's a perfect time to drag her off to bed. I'll take the weird.
@dylanew5 It's the '10s now.
@the3jake2 The hell do you mean by that?
@ForrestFire470 oh, cool!!
@vaibanez17 i dont care for it but my son loves it :+)
too bad it's not real cheese.
except for real.cheese
Oh my gosh quit with the Rhyming
They're like rappers
Why don’t you like the rhyming? Is it the timing?
? Is this something new
There's so little cheese on that its repulsive
I guess the 50s were a dark era for cheese on stuff
They weren't even putting cheese on burgers yet.
not sure I want the chef's "touch" LOL
what do they mean by touch? hmmm... HMMMM......
So, other Pizza mixes make fake pizza crust?
Well it was the 40s.
What the heck?
Chef Boyardee is synonymous with "cheap crap that tastes like it was scraped off a sewage drain"
Looks too saucy.......
This beats NOTHING
