Dr Oetker is european; and it isn't Nestlรจ

so that's two points it has over Wagner :)

[โ€“] Hubi@feddit.org 67 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Wagner also committed war crimes in Ukraine. Or so I've heard.

[โ€“] Zagorath@aussie.zone 46 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

No, you're thinking of the Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary organisation.

This is Wagner, the antisemitic 19th century German composer.

[โ€“] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

No no, this is Wagner, the private liberal arts college on Staten Island. Those damn liberals with their New York based Hawaiian pizza.

[โ€“] el_bhm@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

Can he just go back to music? Ukraine and pizza is a bit too much for my liking.

[โ€“] DmMacniel@feddit.org 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I believe that's a different Wagner Group. Well I hope...

[โ€“] rikudou@lemmings.world 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

After they tried to do a coup, they had to diversify. Making pizzas is less likely to cause falling from a window or mistake novichok for sugar.

as an avid frozen pizza enjoyer, both of these suck, taste wise

[โ€“] crawancon@lemm.ee 34 points 3 months ago (9 children)

which ones don't suck, MR frozen pizza connoisseur?

...

ok I admit I had to look up how to spell connoisseur so these forthcoming pizzas better be the bees knees.

[โ€“] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 22 points 3 months ago (5 children)

This one sucks the least.

Of course nothing beats the absolute cheapest pizza you can find at the discounter when you're having a LAN party.

[โ€“] Crikeste@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This being called Salami Pizza reminds me of a time I ordered pepperoni pizza in Venice. I did not get what I was thinking I would, but it was still awesome. (They put actual peppers instead of โ€˜pepperoniโ€™)

well, even the best frozen pizza is still just a frozen pizza, but i prefer Die Ofenfrische. cheap and delicious

[โ€“] colourlessidea@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

If you can get these, these are the best by a good margin: https://gustavo-gusto.de/en/

[โ€“] brb@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Grandiosa has the best frozen pizzas.

Dr.Oetker is the shit anyway iykyk

[โ€“] Wrongdoer1@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

We were feeling more united than ever is this community but you decided to start a fight with our Italian friends? Why???

[โ€“] Novocirab@feddit.org 8 points 3 months ago
[โ€“] HerrVorragend@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dr Oetker Tradizionale or Suprema are my Pizza of choice.

The Ristorante, not so much.

[โ€“] DmMacniel@feddit.org 9 points 3 months ago

Dr Oetker Tradizionale

schmeck ich, especially this one:

[โ€“] zymagoras777@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

Oetker is also shit but less evil, I guess?

[โ€“] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

At least pick the Casa di Mama line from Dr Oetker

I don't think I've ever even seen the top one.

[โ€“] 01011@monero.town 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

How about fuck all that nasty ass processed crap? Or is it only wrong when the Americans do it?

"Hey siri, give me a list of all the terrorist and militant groups that have killed more innocent people and destabilized more countries in a fragile position than Nestle willingly has purely in the pursuit of more profit?"

[โ€“] Cyber@feddit.uk 5 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Came here to suggest an alternative: Crosta & Mollica

As far as I can tell they're even from Italy.

We kinda get the best of both worlds: we just get the bases and make what we want so the speed of a ready made pizza, but the flavours of home made.

But still, NO PINEAPPLE !!

[โ€“] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago (3 children)

But still, NO PINEAPPLE !!

You're one of those sociopaths that puts kiwi on your pizza aren't you?!

[โ€“] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[โ€“] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Fuck..... that's probably actually really good.....sigh

[โ€“] Flisty@mstdn.social 4 points 3 months ago (17 children)

@Sturgist @IsoKiero my Swedish friend introduced me to Flying Jacob and that stuff is so wrong and yet so right. What is it with Swedes and weird banana recipes

Also, a vote here for Goodfellas pizza (Birdseye). Very average but better than Dr Oetker by a country mile and the gluten free one is pretty decent

Yes pineapple, in moderation.

The meme is funny, but also quite silly. Contrasting savory and sweet tastes is a staple of Italian cuisine.

[โ€“] camelbeard@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

My supermarket sells these and they are superior to all other frozen pizzas I had.

They all taste like crap though.

[โ€“] pulpy@feddit.it 5 points 3 months ago

Vive l'Italie? Is this French?

[โ€“] rikudou@lemmings.world 5 points 3 months ago

I love the Ristorante line of their pizzas. Sadly the store I usually buy stuff from no longer sells my favourite one.

[โ€“] Novocirab@feddit.org 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

By the way: For making really good pizza oneself, this video (German, 27 minutes) looked to me like the guy gives really solid instructions. (I haven't tried it though, and it's a multi-day project.)

[โ€“] kamenlady@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

multi-day project

Hmm, I'm hungry

[โ€“] Comtief@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I learned from my wife to make pizza myself, just get the powder and make the dough from it and so on.. Much tastier

Those Big City pizzas taste like cardboard anyway.
