It’s a depressing time of year again. No, not the winter blues. I’m talking about the end of another football season. Sure, there’s one more Big Game left but that means I’ll just have to wait months and months for it to start up again.
This past weekend, I didn’t want to miss a minute of the action! So to prepare for a diligent day of lounging on the couch, stuffing my face while watching grown men tackle each other, I did what any sane person would do… I packed the wife and kids in the car and headed out to the closest Walmart Supercenter!
It’s roughly a 20 minute drive, just long enough for the kids to start whining, “Are we there yet?” as we pull into the parking lot. I had one thought in mind as we entered the building… DiGiorno’s Pizza!
I’d never tried it before, so I was super pumped to get a chance at reviewing it for my blog. Even cooler, the Rising Crust DiGiorno’s pizza was on rollback for $4.50! Not bad for a frozen pizza that’s bigger than your head!
Apparently, DiGiorno’s pretty popular with the Walmart crowd since most of the shelves were pretty bare! I managed to snag a few pies for myself though.
We grabbed a few other household items we needed (sadly, a bathtub sized jar of cheeseballs was not on the list), and headed home!
I popped the frozen pizzas in the freezer, grabbed the TV remote and slumped down on the couch ready to do my manly duties of vegging. Halfway through the game, my stomach started rumbling, so I headed into the kitchen to cook up dinner!
I decided to cook up the pepperoni and cheese pizzas for me, Allie and the boys.
The most difficult part of cooking a DiGiorno? Opening the box. Which, actually, isn’t hard at all. You just tear open the box, rip open the plastic and you’re left staring at a frozen circle of pizza goodness.
I decided to channel my inner pizza maker and toss a few pies…
Up she goes…
Perfect catch!
We slid one pie into the oven and another into our super extra large toaster oven. I didn’t think it’d fit in the toaster to be honest, but surprisingly it just made it in. Man that thing is huge! I set the ovens and then just had to wait about 20 minutes. Plenty of time to get back to the game.
I smelled the spices and melted cheese before I heard the timer go off. Now, the tough part is, I didn’t want to miss any of the game. And since this is practice for the Big Game, I had to time this one perfectly.
Turns out, I didn’t need to worry. It was a snap to cook these puppies. I was actually surprised at just how thick the crust was. They’re not kidding when they call this line “Rising Crust.” Look at that sucker!
I grabbed my weapons of choice and proceeded to slice the pizzas like a surgeon!
Perfect if I do say so myself!
Now can I make it back to the couch in time?
On your mark, get set… GO!
Score! Just made it!
Now to enjoy the spoils of my victory!
Looks like DiGIorno’s the perfect meal not just for those strapped for time, but also for those cooking-challenged folks out there like myself! So whoever you’re rooting for come Game Time (Denver’s got my full support!), just know that DiGiorno’s got your back!
When it’s GameTime, shop DiGiorno’s Pizza at Walmart
That looks really good right about now. The prices of the pizza place around here that we usually order from recently went up. It’s nice to have other options.
I love DiGiorno, I especially like the ones that come with sides, those are my absolute favorite.
That pizza looks so delicious. Hopefully it makes it way to Canada.
I have never found this pizza in Canada but it looks good. I have a hard time finding pizza I like because I hate oinions,, peppers, sausage… and basically have to order pizza in with topping I like or make it myself from scratch.
This appears to be a US only item…I haven’t found anything comparable here in Canada. Usually frozen pizza is doughy and tasteless, this looks different. I will have to look when I visit and see if I can import one.
You are hilarious! You look like you had a ton of fun making this post and having your pizza.
I really enjoyed your pictures with the Pizza. I love Digiorno Pizza. I think it is as good, if not better, than some of the other brands. Its also much less expensive than Take Out Pizza.
Funny photos and great site.
I share your thoughts on football season, though I’m more of an NCAA gal – which means my season’s already over. I’ll be watching the big game for the commercials, though, and we always pick up a frozen pizza or two. Will look for DiGiorno!
Not sure if we have it in Canada, but now I sure am hungry.
My kids and I will eat nothing but DiGiorno pizza, we absolutely love it!! They have so many different kinds of toppings and a variety of crusts so you can always find what you want!!
We love Digiornos pizza! We do prefer it over over all the other brands, the crust is the best, very crispy, plus, it is the closest to delivery pizza, even better 🙂
I love Digiornos pizza. Its so yummy and cheaper than ordering pizza from a pizza place.
Mmmmmmm that looks so good! I’m due to go shopping soon and it’s your fault I’m going to been picking up some…
One of my favorite store bought pizza’s. Great review!
LOL!Great review!We like DiGiorno pizzas also..and football…the two go together perfect!
My boyfriend decided that he wanted to try something besides DiGiorno because that’s all we get. We got a Red Baron pizza and it was HORRIBLE! it was edible but didn’t cook evenly so we had to leave it in to the point where the crust was burnt just so the middle would cook 🙁 I hate burnt anything. We now know that we will never leave the DiGiorno family lol 🙂
I LOVE DiGiorno pizza! The crust is sooo good and I love the sauce and toppings!!
You are so funny! I love all the pictures, they made me giggle! The pizza looks good too! 😉
I’m always sad to see another football season end. My team, the Baltimore Ravens, we’re knocked out before the playoffs. DiGiorno is my family’s pizza of choice. We just tried the new Pizzeria style pepperoni tonight. It was very tasty, and so much cheaper than delivery.
Digiornos is good frozen pizza even better with the extras!!!^_^
Well, this looks like something my husbamd could manage and something my fussy kid would eat! I have never had this, but I will look next time at the grocery store.
Love DiGiorno’s Pizza! I love any pizza, actually. But what I love the most about this post is that Shalom y’all apron. OMG, Andrew! Did you get that in Savannah, or order it?
mmmmm that looks good going shopping today will have to pick some up
My kids love DiGiorno pizzas and I love the price! I could never throw a pizza in the air and catch it!
We love DiGiorno’s pizza, we like the stuffed crust, we have it a lot. In fact I think that we could live on pizza period.
DiGiorno is DELICIOUS, but if you weren’t being compensated to shill for WalMart, I’m not sure why the emphasis. 🙁
We actually had Digorno’s watching the Denver game 😉 Of course, I was more involved in watching that game than the husband hehe!
I SO would not have caught that pizza! I love DiGiorno- I don’t watch football but I’ve got my own stockpile going on for when my baby comes {any day now} & I can’t cook dinner every night.
We enjoy DiGiorno’s pizza when we opt for frozen pizza. It is the only frozen pizza our little pizza critic (he is 4) will eat! If he will it, it must be good, right?!
We love Digiorno pizzas!
Anytime I go down the freezer aisle he begs for me to grab one.
I do (if they’re on sale!).
I have to admit…DiGiornos is pretty good! It’s something my husband and I will have when we are too lazy to cook and we enjoy it!
what thinking that getting a bunch of these for the superbowl would be an easy way to keep lots of people fed. lots of different flavors to satisfy lots of people
We like the supreme variety.
DiGiorno’s is our favorite frozen pizza!
Ditto what Trisha said about the name/email thingy
We LOVE digornos in this house! Btw, the css on your name/email/website is white so you cant see when you type it. Its tripping me out.
Apparently, I’m like the only one in the world who hadn’t tried DiGiorno’s before! And sorry about the CSS! Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve been slowly tweaking the overall layout here piece by piece. Think I fixed the white on white. Now I need to figure out why this comment box has no border!
It certainly looks delicious, but I’ve got to be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever had DiGiorno’s. We usually just order takeout…maybe it’s time to give DiGiorno’s a try. Thank you for this review.
love the apron,,lol…y’all we love their pizzas I get at least one a week for the grandkids when they come over to play
We also go with DiGiorno! Their pizza is the best frozen pizza out there!
Great post! You are really a master at working that pizza. lol! Rising Crust DiGiorno is one of my favorites. Your’s looks awesome. It was surprising to learn you never tried it before. I guess I just assume everyone has had it.
We always have DiGiorno in the freezer for a go to meal. Price is great and my girls like the taste. Looks like you had fun being a Pizzaiolo!
We LOVE digiorno pizza…. in fact we have it weekly on Pizza and movie Fridays…. 🙂
I can’t believe you had never tried DiGiorno before. Now you know what you’ve been missing? I love their rising crust pizzas!
DiGiorno used to be too our go-to “expensive” store-bought pizza. I positively love that they are so affordable now. I mean, seriously, $4.50? You can’t make a homemade pizza for that cost! (We had DiGiorno pizzas a few nights ago. Yum!)
Mmmm we love those pizzas. Those are a really good price too. We usually don’t see them for under $6.
It looks like you had just as much fun making it as you did eating it. I love DiGorno!
This pizza looks so good. I love a thick fluffy crust like this.
We love DiGiorno Pizzas. They are the perfect meal for game days
We eat pizza about once a week. It’s perfect for busy nights when there’s so much going on that you just don’t have time to make a whole healthy meal. My boys try to make me feel better by telling me it is healthy because it has all of the food groups.
im not a big frozen pizza fan, but digiornos makes a great pizza! looks like HE enjoys it !lol
By “he” do you mean me, Courtney? 🙂
Digorno sure has yummy pizza in a ton of different varieties. Great for gatherings or game day!
Frozen pizza sure is tough to beat as a quick yummy meal & DiGiorno is one of my faves.
I love DiGiornos pizza, probably one of my favorite frozen pizzas. It’s best when it’s cold from the fridge the next day 😉
We need to get a toaster oven! We always need to make more than one pizza at a time. #client
We used to have a small toaster oven until my sis-in-law got fed up with it and recently bought us a nice, shiny, huge new one as a housewarming present. I believe it’s a Cuisinart brand and it’s seriously huge. If it can fit an entire DiGiorno pizza in it, it’s gotta be big, right?
Mmmh, they look so much better than the ones I buy, need to change brands 🙂
