Good Housekeeping Rates Best Frozen Pizzas

Dec. 26, 2002 -- With the holiday feasts behind us, many of us do not feel like cooking another fancy meal, and frozen pizza can be a quick, easy alternative.

Good Housekeeping magazine recently ran a taste test of 46 frozen pies — including cheese, pepperoni, and vegetable varieties — to "separate the gummy from the yummy."

Here are the results of their test, which the magazine shared with Good Morning America:

Best Pie Overall: DiGiorno Rising Crust Vegetable Pizza earned more first-place votes than any other pie in any category, scoring points for its fresh veggies and thick crust. Olive lovers liked Amy's Veggie Combo Pizza. Both are good nutritional bets, with about 290 calories and 9 grams of fat per slice.

Best Pepperoni Pie: Tony's Super Rise Crust was the pepperoni favorite.

Best Cheese Pie: Three brands tied, with personal taste playing a big role: Extra-cheese lovers gave a thumbs-up to Tombstone Original Extra Cheese, Tony's Original Crust Cheese Pizza scored for its flavorful sauce and Jeno's Crisp 'N Tasty was favored by thin-crust aficionados.
