Newman's Own White Pizza with Spinach. Thin crust. Most of you know
I'm not a huge fan of pizza. I've made lots of homemade pizzas in my
day but it's really not my favourite thing. As I get older, as much as
I love pepperoni it doesn't love me back anymore. I don't seem to use a
lot of tomato sauce, either.

I was at the grocery store yesterday, perusing the frozen foods. This
white pizza caught my eye. It was a BOGO and yes, I bought two of them.
I also bought some finely shredded "Italian blend" cheese. I always
add a little more cheese to frozen pizza. I also sprinkled it with a
dried Italian herb blend. Baked it directly on the oven rack as directed.

Quite tasty! The crust was perfectly crisped. I'm glad I bought two of
them.

I have mozzarella cheese (fresh to grate) on my new grocery list.
I want to make a white pizza with broccoli which I love.
Basically, broccoli crowns, garlic, plenty of EVOO and cheese.

There are many good frozen pizza's available now. And I also
normally add a few ingredients just like you did to enhance them.

Anyway, frozen any kind of dinners are not to put down these
days, many can be very tasty and healthy.

Way too often, people criticize a commercial product without ever
even trying it these days.
Like *YOU* just did with the 'Throwback' canned pasta. ;-D

Oh puleeze. I used to eat the original Chef Boyardee stuff as a teen
and even in my early 20's. I see no reason to try a reboot of canned pasta.

As for making broccoli pizza, check youtube. Here's one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIpfJ-3a3_A

The frozen spinach pizza I bought also started with a ricotta base just
like the one in that quick video.

I'm not going to go out of my way to make pizza crust from scratch for
something I seldom eat. There are alternatives; they sell bags of
freshly made pizza dough at the bakery in the grocery store. There are
also pre-made stored at room temp crusts. The brand Boboli comes to
mind, although I've never bought one.

At any rate, it shouldn't be too difficult to make your white pizza with
broccoli.

Actually Pizza dough from scratch is fun to do! Doesn't take long
either. I usually make 2 at a time and freeze the other lightly greased
in saran wrap.

The nice thing on making your own, is you can actually spice the dough
which is a nice touch.

I know you enjoy it! I've made plenty of pizzas from scratch in my
lifetime. I'd likely forget all about about a ball of pizza dough in
the freezer, that's how seldom I think about pizza. So, doctoring up a
frozen-store bought pizza with additional blended cheeses and a
sprinkling of Italian or garlic and herb seasoning a couple or three
times a year works for me. I liked the Newman's Own brand.

No problem and we do that too! I have been asked to make one fresh
tomorrow so Charlotte can have her 'splurge meal'. (if you didn't see
it, shes on a diet to lose a little then enter the Navy).

I already worked out a home version that is pretty much meat free at
155calories a slice. It's a thin crust with lots of veggie toppings.
This time she wants it with lots of gooie cheese (grin). I can
probably fit in some shrimp there too.

Lol. It's not difficult at all, even homemade crust. I've
been making them for years. I wasn't asking how to make one.
Just saying I was planning to make one once I buy some cheese.

Try Fontinella cheese? It's a firm white that shreds well to a crumbly
texture and as a side (me, Charlottes pizza tomorrow) is 110 calories
per oz. It's a little like Feta without the price tag. Would go well
with that.

If it is a pizza, shouldnt the cheese be mozzarella? From a buffalo?

Maybe. The vegetarian pizza at college was a very mild, orange,
Cheddar-style mass-market cheese with peas and carrots.

Why on earth you expect frozen pizza to have mozzarella made from
buffalo milk?

I wasn't at a pizza joint. It was Newman's Own frozen store bought
frozen pizza. White pizza (with spinach) made with ricotta and (no
doubt) cow's milk mozzarella and parmesan. I added more cheese on top -
a blend of shredded cheeses which included more cow's milk cheeses:
mozz, provolone, parm, asiago, fontina and romano. A sprinkling of
Italian herb blend on top and into the oven it went. Quite tasty!

In Italy, it is one of the types of Mozzarella sold (not all are made
from water buffalo milk).

I'm sure Jill knows what buffalo mozz is. The question implied was
'why would you expect a higher quality product in a cheap frozen
pizza?'
BTW, you can buy buffalo mozz in the U.S.

Except I'm not in Italy, I've never been to Italy and have no plans to
go to Italy. It was a frozen store bought pizza. Sosume!

Traditional in Italy. Fresh mozzarella di bufala.

Granted, I've only had cow's milk fresh mozzarella, but I
consider it to be the tofu of the cheese world. Tasteless
on its own and woefully lacking in salt. It needs a lot of
help for me to consider it palatable.

I probably should try di bufala sometime.

It's traditional in SOME parts of Italy. But Italy in general uses
more fior di latte on pizza.

It is better, but still very mild and not salty at all. Great with
Caprese salad. It has a place and we enjoy it, but, don't compare it
with an aged cheddar or Gouda.

Okay, except I've never been to Italy so I don't expect a frozen store
bought pizza to be topped with buffalo milk mozz.

I've had cow's milk fresh mozz, can't remember the brand. It was tangy
and tasty, not particularly salty. I occasionally buy it in slices to
add to chicken parm or similar dishes.

The shredded cheese I added to the pizza was a combination of (cow's
milk) mozzarella, asiago, parmesan and a couple of other white cheeses.
What can I say? I wasn't going to use expensive cheeses to trick out a
store bought frozen pizza.

I snipped too early and forgot to agree with you on that one. Whole
milk mozzarella is the best of the 3 common ones here (part skim,
fresh, and whole milk), but I still use mostly provolone on my
pizzas, along with a little asiago and peckerino romano. American
meunster is also good on pizza (German meunster is a whole different
thing).

I think he was expecting some sort of plastic cheese food product.
There's absolutely no reason for anyone in the US to expect buffalo
mozzarella on a frozen store bought pizza.

Michigan. And of course the peas and carrots had been frozen. I'm
surprised that corn and lima beans were absent.

After all that time in the oven (thick crust), the peas were absolutely
wizened.

"Double sweet Italian sausage"? It looks like there are two pizza
places in the world that use this term, one on Lung Island, the
other in Orlando.

There is no such thing as "Double sweet Italian sausage" and
anybody using that term doesn't know what "sweet" means when
referencing savory Italian foods. "Sweet" means very mild, not very
spicy, and not piquant. So "Double sweet" would mean no spices at
all, making "double sweet Italian sausage" the equivalent of ground
pork, and an oxymoron.

If it's a pizza from the supermarket, you'd be happy if the cheese
came from a cow. You'd even be happy if it was cheese.

I looked up this particular flavor pizza ingredient list and it does indeed have
low-moisture mozzarella cheese (pasteurized whole milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes).

As do 95% of the supermarket pizzas. You really doubted Bruce was

I thought he'd probably try to throw out some science project cheese as being

In the purists sense, yes. Sometimes I cheap and put other cheese on as

If it is a pizza, shouldnt the cheese be mozzarella? From a buffalo?

I have no choice, because my stomach stages an excruciatingly painful protest
if I eat cheese (or anything dairy in more than minute quantity) from cows. I
know I am a bit obsessive about these things but believe me, dairy intestinal
intolerance is not something I would wish on my worst enemy.

For some reason, proper buffalo cheese is ok; and a small amount of very mild
cheddar can be ok as long as it is thoroughly cooked.

Waitrose do some decent fresh pizzas which rarely have any effect, but
cheaper outlets (Iceland in particular) seem to add a processed "cheese
which appears to be all manner of milk solids, chemicals and other colouring
nonsense; which is dried and then grated to look like the real thing. I had
one of my worst nights after eating one of their pizzas.

The problem for me is that I really like pizzas.

Yes, I make my own but need the mozzarella to put on it, but my wife buys the
cheese and she likes really strong mature stuff so that I have to remember to
buy the buffalo cheese myself.

It is more convenient to get one already prepared.

It might be psychological but I have no evidence for that.

If I eat food containing fresh cream or uncooked butter, I get the problem
even though I didnt realise the ingredients were there.

Cooking the dairy product seems to cure most of my cramps, etc.Why this is I
dont know.

It was dairy, just cheap dairy disguised to look more expensive.

It's probably not phycological. There are several types of lactose
intolerance, just like it can come in degrees.

I have a friend who tolerates a modicum of very well aged cheese ok,
but little else. There's a chemical shift in it to the lactose if the
cheese is starting to sort of grow almost crystals on the outside?
(Thats how he described it and I've seen the occasional odd bit at the
back of my fridge that seemed like that, a wrapped up end bit of
cracker barrell).
