What's the GOAT frozen pizza brand?
Totino's Baby!
Sam's choice
tombstone 🎃
Wild Mikes by far
I do food reviews while I’m high on my RUclips channel 😅
I dunno if just taking every topping off first counts.
I tend to eat all the toppings before I eat my pizza sometimes so I would count it cuz you're grading not just the pizza but the actual toppings how well they did with that as well
we're talking about a fake internet cooking show where they pretend to get a fake plastic trophy, Idk if we really need to go to the rulebook here, also he lost soooo?
It should count, what's the point if you scrape everything and use new toppings?
@@stonerdormroom pretend to get a fake plastic trophy? ????
Also using a brand I've never heard of.
Challenge: "Spruce up a frozen pizza"
JJ: "Okay, I'm removing everything from the frozen pizza"
That definitely violates the spirit of this competition lol
For real. first you got a host on a pizza show who cant even pronounce the word pizza. and then on the frozen pizza challenge you go, "ima take away all the frozen pizza part." dude this show is a joke, stick to hot ones.
Indeed. If that was the intention of the competition, then they should've just given them a frozen pizza crust base. Since they didn't start with just a frozen crust, I'm guessing that's not what production had in mind.
Dont forget.. 1 chef used a $5 frozen pizza, while the other used a $40 frozen pizza.
@@HypnoticLasagna And still lost lol
Here in my sort of up scale supermarket they sell these hammer pizzas with out any toppings. They are great. Here in Germany there are not so many good pizza places so, this beats most of them. I sort of agree with Tempo....
I always add garlic powder and parsley flakes on my frozen pizzas. Definitely brings it up a notch and then red hot pepper flakes after
It’s a sin if you don’t spice it up a little
Uuh, sounds disgusting, get your pizza Game right!
@@amfliegen5280 garlic powder makes it sound disgusting? Get your tastebuds checked...
Oregano is my go-to!
Thanks for the comment 👍 😀
This was a tough one, and I'm not sure it's quite fair to scrape 2/3rds of the original pizza away. Props to Nicole for keepin the whole original pie. That said, aint no way that carbonara tasted better than the freakin lobsta globsta...
Yeah, using a boboli for that one would have made it better. For me, when food falls apart it gets frustrating and takes away from the enjoyment. Hard tacos and burgers that won't stay on the bun are the worst. I think the judges may have taken that into account.
They both looked delicious thou
@@nerfherder4284 what is a hard taco?
Yeah, as soon as he was like "I'm scraping off everything but the crust". He should have lost.
A tuff one! He threw all of the topings! Disqualified..
Now do it the other way around! Have the contestants make a pizza from scratch, which must still taste good after being frozen then reheated!
thats a really great idea!
To me, this is strangely a more interesting concept than a fresh pizza competition. The truly mundane and last minute, made top quality gourmet. I want more of this!
This needs a sequel. I'd love more ideas to what to put on frozen pizzas
I'd like to see more actual piece-as. I just called up my local joint and asked for the crab and lobster pie and they were very confused. Jokes aside, there's a place in town that does a pickle pizza. absolutely overloaded with dill pickle slices and dill spice. It was a joke but it went viral so, it's a thing now, I guess?
Putting Amber in a video is like a cheat code to make me watch.
I’m not sure removing everything but the crust is staying true to the spirit of this challenge. 😂
Frozen or not, now I’m craving pizza
I had pizza today and NOW I WANT MORE 🥺🥺🥺
Frozen or not, now I’m craving Amber Ruffin
I LOVE Amber Ruffin so anything she does, I automatically will like it.
And I also agree on which pizza was chosen as the winner. A pizza FOR BREAKFAST?!!! Yes, Please!! 😁
The chemistry on this episode is off the charts.
Yep. Love seeing happy people eat pizza.
auntie Nicole just gave us the easiest & best breakfast pizza recipie 😍😍 thank you!
I've cannibalized frozen pizza before and it turned out really good. Oh man that breakfast pizza looks fantastic! I love how she went with ingredients most homes have, and you can sub out guanciale for pork belly or thick cut butcher bacon if you don't have access to guanciale.
I think you meant to say, cannabis-infused 😂
@@ryanabbott4162 Nope, but I've made some extra special pies sub out some "herbs" for others and my friends at the time enjoyed it 😁.
How do you cannibalize frozen pizza? Are you a pizza? If so, how are you formulating thoughts and interacting on the Internet? Mind blown.
@@John_Doh I am currently only made of 50% pizza as it's a favorite food but no I am not a pizza. One way to cannibalize is to use one thing as a source of spare parts for another thing. What I was referring to was how I took one frozen pizza with a really bad crust and used it for the toppings and cheese to make a much better pizza that had the crust I liked. Basically pulling all useful stuff from one to make something better.
i love when the guest on the show seems to be nothing more than just a great chef. no performative attitude or stage persona. just a love for cooking and kind energy
Seeing Scott just reminds me: I miss Really Dough. Such a great series.
Yeah, but need a new host, these lordoftheringsdrawf is merkwürdig
I love this series... I've tried so many different pizzas cause of it. And I'm definitely trying both of these!
I did the exact same Red Baron pizza last night with the last of some marinated chicken taco meat I was wanting to finish off after having 3 taco meals in a row. Great choice for a base pizza to enhance.
The flirting is KILLING ME! So funny!
I love this show and the people on it ❤️!
"I love how you added enhancements to the pizza that was already good," ya, like the entire point behind this episode
Amber is a gift. Please do more content with her
Shes def uhh special
Agreed. I wanna see her on Hot ones with some margaritas! ❤️
8:19
"I'm gonna try to get it into my mouth somehow."
Yes. That's what *she* said.
I love me some Amber, she’s consistently great
Definitely a challenge trying to re-purpose a frozen pizza. Good episode.
Those both looked so good ❤️
Pizzas beautis, host disgusting
@@amfliegen5280 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 man, keep em guessing for a while at least
Dave portnoy disapproves
Chives! In Poland every Zapiekanka must have chives and also local pizza like dishes. This is ingredient you dont expect but you have to try and its game changer
Thank you, for having Amber Ruffin.
Nicole won the second JJ scraped everything off the crust, he didn’t understand the assignment. Great job Nicole!!!!
I used to buy frozen pizza and some chorizo, oregano and red chilli flakes. Always came out delicious.
Idk, I love me some seafood toppings and that looked Amazing.💯
Wait 😳, this all looks delicious, but what you do with all the frozen toppings you scraped off?? 😲 I’d save them and make my own Calzone style snack later
Nicole is a boss and I want her to feed me! 🍕🏆
“Bad pizza still tastes great.” Pure gold 💛
"piece-a"
Zhushing up a frozen pizza… this intrigues me 🤨 That Carbinara is giving me ideas for holiday breakfasts.
I love Pizza Wars so much
Yeah, got you, i need a new host. Nicole is disgusting.
When I'm out of black truffles, gold flakes, and albino Beluga sturgeon caviar, I like to go with red pepper flakes, a few cracks of black pepper, and Kraft's grated parmesan cheese with 2-4% sawdust.
I can see now why there was a short of Nicole rating frozen pizza it was to prepare us for this episode. I didn't even realize frozen pizza was next and this is the one with amber Ruffin yes! I've actually seen a few episodes from her show and I love it!
I can taste Nicole’s pizza though the video she never ceases to amaze me!!’ I absolutely love this show! ❤️ 🍕
You mean Nicole's "piece-a." She refuses to call it what it is, like everyone else in the world. They should just change the name of the series at this point. "Piecea Wars"
@@robertfrost8264 You sound so disgruntled😂 Just enjoy the show and carry on
“We spent a lot of time preparing these pizzas.” Took them like 3 minutes to apply the new toppings
Maybe the time thinking of the toppings and buying them
not looking at the video but the first dude sounds so good. does not look like i expected but he sounds SO new york was expecting an italian
"Lets make a frozen pizza gourmet"
*Takes everything away from the frozen pizza*
I don't eat seafood so Nicole's pizza won for me. Welcome to Pizza 🍕 Wars, Amber! 🤎🖤
Wie bitte?
From the title I thought it was going to be "make a pizza, freeze it, then reheat it." According to the brief outlined by the video, Nicole 100% nailed it!
Thanks Nicole!
What's most fun about this clip, IMHO, is the notion of doctoring up pizza that is already made. I've never made pizza dough from scratch, dough-baking is such a delicate process, it can be thrown off by the humidity in the air and the mineral content of the water, so starting with something some company has spent millions of dollars to guarantee a consistent outcome isn't the worst thing a pizza lover could do. So doctoring a frozen pizza sounds like fun to me. Farm out the complicated step of creating the bread plate of your ingredients, and then go hog wild with the things that make your mouth happy. Pizza dough isn't as versatile as, say, rice or pasta, in terms of being a vehicle for flavors, textures, and nutritious delicacies, but it is a fun vehicle.
this show is strangely addictive..and..I don't know...why lol
Definitely not a pizza snob! Frozen pizza is the bees knees and it should be celebrated too! Like it is so convenient and sometimes so cheap. And you can customise it. Sometimes it so much faster than takeout or waiting forever for the delivery person to bring over a pie!!!!Given that pizza was a food eaten by lazzaroni (the Neapolitan homeless and poor people), I think there’s still a need for really cheap and convenient pizza for everyone. Good job @firstwefeast, Nicole and JJ!
I eat the base trio pizza she made all the time. I make it with a good Cajun seasoning and a spicy bbq sauce drizzle on it and it’s amazing.
Love to you all, from houston!💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💖💋💋💋💋💋💐💐💐🫶🏻
Very smart with the idea of removing all the stuff off the pizza first. His sauce looked and sounded so good. Can we get a recipe for his sauce?
I like the DiGornoria crust the best. I think they have a brick oven one also. I find the brick oven crust the best flavored, just hate the sauces and ingredients. I go simple on mine. Onion, bell pepper with chicken and ranch dressing with a little Franks Hot Sauce on top.
Master chef taught me, garlic butter brush the crust. Add fresh parm and mozzarella and garlic. High as oven goes midde rack nothing under it.
Pizza is life! 😊Imo the best thing about living in NYC the best pizza 🍕 😋
I’ve been sprucing mine up for years, my parents always did it with us growing up. I always thought it was the norm. 😂
"You cheat" - "I love how you took a pizza to the next level" - THAT WAS THE WHOLE FECKING POINT OF THE CHALLENGE DUDE - not scaping back to the base, adding a sauce you spent 4 hours making, and 20 buck worth of seafood.
Can you suggest or link the pizza stones you use?
Tri-state Pizza snobs represent... although i never have a frozen pizza in the freezer
I'm a simple man. I see Amber Ruffin I clicks.
Hi! Can u make a video of the best frozen pizzas.. thanks
What did she lower the oven temperature to for the egg topping? I wanna make this!
Best Frozen Pizza I have had out of so many is Motor City Pizza. Seriously, try it.
Loving Amber Ruffin getting more exposure these days!
I am just now eating lunch and I'm just like that breakfast pizza I could take some of that right about now
I would've gone for the lobster one.
I see Amber, I click!
🤔🤔🤔🤔 that's interesting Nicole is going to turn it into a breakfast pizza? She never ceases to innovate
Guy scraped everything off and put shrimp and lobster on it. That doesn’t seem fair 😂
amber ruffin is an american treasure
Red Baron is my go too for frozen pizza its good
Frozen pizza is so good for cold Winter days 🤤👍
Yeah, preheating the oven and baking one for 45 minutes warmed up my place. I haven't lived in a studio apartment for almost 2 decades and I thought it cut down on the heating bill for some reason, even though it cost me more on my utility bill than the cost of the actual pizza. $7 frozen pizza = $35 running the oven at full blast for an hour lolololool
Mini Red Barron pepperoni pizza baked then topped with a house salad and ranch or thousand island dressing. Or mini Red Barron cheese pizza baked and topped with fried popcorn chicken pieces.
Its not making a frozen pizza gourmet, the first one is basically frozen pizza crust made gourmet.
Lobster pizza? That looks good.
Those pizzas looked yummy.
IS IT REALLY DOUGH!
Nice to see my man Pizza Prince Scott himself
You rule!
I love Amber Ruffin so much
Red Baron is good. Never heard of the other ones.
That Roberta’s is soo good.
Taking the cheese and sauce and putting your own on is so simple but so genius. Definitely doing that the next time I eat frozen pizza
If you're doing that, honestly, most pizza places will just sell you a ball of dough if you ask. You might as well just do that.
Literally just buy a precooked flatbread or the Pillsbury pizza dough. It’s a waste to scrape everything off
Alright, now I'm getting hungry. Also it is so weird they have an even number of judges.
Here for the Amber Ruffin of it All! 😊
WTH, how can that pizza not taste delicious with king crab on it? 🥰🥰🥰
I thought the first 1 had it . Well done.
Wow everytime i think Nicole may lose she pulls through. Yet another dope episode!!
I love amber Ruffin so much
Nicole have some strong pizza game ! Her solution was brillant.
First thing to make a frozen pizza good, use a pizza stone...
That Red Barón be hitting
Roma thin crust Supreme and Totino's Supreme are my go-to favorite frozen pizzas of all time
Can’t really do it because the crust is half the the pizza. No great crust, no great pizza. Totally non negotiable!
Screamin’ Sicilian and CPK are in a fight for best frozen pizza. Regardless, the trick is to heat your pan before you put the pizza on. That way you prevent the soggy dough.
need to know the two chef's channels asap
Four Cheese frozen pizza and add red onion, mushroom and chilli pepper slices. Perhaps a dash of hot sauce and mixed italian herbs.
I think scraping everything off of a frozen base and making a whole new pizza defies the point of this whole concept. If you're going to the effort of making your own sauce then just make your own dough too.
I see Amber, I click.
1.) Start with an $8.00 frozen pizza, 2.) Remove everything from the top, 3.) Add $100.00 worth of toppings.
10:11
I've turned frozen pizza into taco pizza before. Would do again.
Peri-Peri sauce mmmmmm. That's going to add an extra kick to the pizza. As the mask would say "that's a spicy meat-a-ball!"
I think buying a frozen pizza and then removing all the toppings is definitely against the spirit of the competition. Disqualified!! :D
Red Baron is already gourmet
Now straight out the bat I don't think I've ever had frozen pizza. Any pizza that I've had comes from the actual restaurants so pizza hut Domino's little Caesars cuz that's what we have here in Jamaica
