Home Run Inn Frozen Pizza
31Jul2008 Filed under: Food & Drink Author: lauralee
I first heard about Home Run Inn Frozen Pizza from my good friend Erin. She’s from the Chicago area, so I trust her pizza judgment! She raved about how awesome these pizzas are, and how they don’t taste like the typical cardboard frozen pizza, and other friends of ours on the mommy board we frequent all gave the pizza rave reviews as well.
I, however, am a big cheapskate, and generally speaking, our financial situation most days falls under the category of Broke As A Joke, so I wasn’t about to spend seven bucks on a frozen pizza. You could spend a couple dollars more and have your pizza delivered, y’know?
This all changed yesterday. We had to run out to the supermarket for eggs, right in the middle of making a birthday cake for my 13-year-old. It was a long, hot day, and I didn’t feel like cooking, so I impulsively grabbed two of these pizzas from the freezer case at our local King Soopers. One was cheese and pepperoni - the other one was sausage and, I think, grilled vegetables. I threw them in the oven, both at the same time, while the kids were tearing up the backyard on their bikes.
Well. Damned if those weren’t the BEST frozen pizzas I’ve ever had in my life, and probably the best pizza, PERIOD, I’ve had in a long time. We oohed and ahhhed over a pizzeria in Big Bear while we were on vacation, and this pizza tasted very much like that. The crust was exquisitely flaky, the grilled peppers tasted really fresh, and the cheese was all stretchy, just like it’s supposed to be. Seriously good pizza, and totally worth fourteen bucks for two of them.
Check out the Home Run Inn website and see if your grocery store is listed there. While searching for them on the web, I found that you can buy a 2-pack of their pizzas at Sam’s Club, but apparently not all Sam’s Club stores carry them, so you may be out of luck there. You totally need to track down some of this pizza, though - it’s fantastic! Thumbs up all around from here!

I LOVE Home Run Inn pizza! It is better than some of the pizzeria stuff we can get in our small town!

It IS the best, isn’t it? I love me some HRI!!! Make sure you cook it until the center is all bubbly.

Yeah, it’s the bomb! I left it in a bit longer because I don’t like doughy crust at ALL. It was perfect!

I just tried Kashi’s Roasted Vegetable Thin-Crust pizza last night and I was VERY impressed. It’s healthy AND yummy (and all the kiddos gobbled it up too!).

They’re only in four stores in Florida, and one in my area and it’s not one I shop at…but I’ll make a special trip based on your rave review!

We tried the cheese, pepparoni and roma tomato pizzas. We liked the cheese and pepparoni a lot. The roma tomato was good but the tomatoes are watery and made the crust soggy. But, Home Run Inn pizza has a pizza-by-the-slice taste that other frozen pizzas don’t have. We would buy it again.
