If you love pizza, you’ve probably had the great debate many times as to which is best; Frozen,
fresh, homemade or takeout? The different ways to satisfy the pizza lover often leave people
wondering, what really is the best kind of pizza?
Frozen pizzas are great if you just want something quick, simple and cheap to throw in the oven and
share between your family members. There are a great range of names of supermarket brands that
provide frozen pizzas, with all sorts of recipes, from bacon cheeseburger, to fajita chicken, right
down to a simple ‘four cheese and tomato’ recipe. To keep up with take out competitors, frozen
pizzas now come with cheese or sauce stuffed crusts, just like your favorite pizza place provides.
The problem with frozen pizzas is that they tend to be very high in fat and salt, and cheaper
pizzas may not have much topping. They are not always the most practical of things to store in the
freezer either.
Fresh pizzas can be made in a number of ways. You can either buy the base ready prepared, or buy
the ingredients to make the dough from scratch. Making fresh homemade pizzas is a great way of
getting your kids in the kitchen. They will enjoy the process of making their own dinner, and while
they are in the mood to learn about food, you can teach them about the reasons behind having a
healthy diet, that does include some treats. Prepare the ingredients for your children, and place
them into individual bowls.
Fresh pizzas are not as fattening as frozen ones, because the ingredients are fresh, no
preservatives are required and less salt is used. Go easy on the cheese, and make sure you use
tomato puree between the cheese and base. Toppings could include chopped or sliced tomatoes,
pepperoni, Sweet corn, green peppers and many more. Try to use at least two or three toppings.
Fresh pizzas do take a bit more time, but taste much better and are far healthier than any other
pizza you will find.
Some stores do provide a fresh pizza service, and some will make your fresh pizza made to order,
for you to collect throughout your shopping and cook at home. These will often be jammed full of
toppings, and will give you the better taste and less guilt, without the times and hassle of
preparing it yourself.
Take out pizza are, ultimately, the pizza lovers top choice time and time again. This has
contributed to a rise in obesity in western countries. Your pizza place has a menu for everything
you love it seems, but too much food from your favourite pizza place isn’t good for. Many pizza
places are trying to accommodate for this by offering smaller portions, but the best bet is to
stick to take out once a week at most, and try to indulge in homemade or fresh pizza if you really
can’t resist all that cheese and bread! The recipe for a good homemade pizza is simple, and far
more cost effective and healthier than any takeout.
Ingredients
Normally, there would be one or two missing ingredients at home to prepare a pizza. Packing all
needed ingredients as a one, and gifting would be a great idea in helping them to cut down time on
searching or buying for ingredients.
Pizza stone
The all clad pizza stone, as the name says it, makes a good gift for a pizza lover. It not only
heats up fast but also stays heat for a long time. This would make an ideal gift for a pizza
cooker.
Pizza shirts
A t-shirt with a mouth watering pizza picture or a mascot reflecting a pizza could be a great gift
for a pizza lover. A single t-shirt says it all about his love and craving for pizzas. Mostly these
will suit small children but can work for any pizza loving adult.
Pizza maker
Obviously, when you are gifting something to pizza lovers, a pizza maker would be the perfect gift.
This would a bit costly but would speak up how much you care for him/her.
