Ogre’s Pizza Disaster
When I read about Ogre’s pizza problems yesterday, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. Not only did he get a bad pizza, but his stone broke in the oven. That’s just bad luck.
Not to gloat or anything, but I never have these problems because of two reasons.
1) I never buy boxed frozen pizzas. I know Ogre said they were on sale when he bought the Red Barons, but you really don’t know what you’re getting when you get them boxed like that. Always go for the clear plastic-wrapped ones.
2) I own my own pizza oven. A $100 investment, my little commercial grade pizza oven has paid for itself many times over. Buying pizza from Pizza Hut, Papa John’s, etc has not been worth it in my opinion. The cheap $2 frozen pizzas at Aldi’s is great. They’re big, the crust is actually thicker than the cardboard it is shipped on, and there are plenty of toppings. But it’s really the oven which seals the deal. 10-14 minutes and the pizza is thoroughly cooked.
I think Ogre will be buying himself one of these ovens before too long.
