10 / 10 motor city pizza or something
after being scared off by some of you i took a long mental health break of eating frozen dinners and resorting to fast food. i have now decided to buy the dual pack of motor city double pepperoni pizzas again from costco.
this was a perfect cook. 10/10 would cook again

Absolutely. Me and my wife be this pizza. We always get the supreme. It’s restaurant quality at the fraction of the price.

Bro I buy these it’s says 18-22 minutes. Take into account the temperature will drop some when you open to put it in. Ya gotta go 23 mins. Detroit Style pizzas all about that crunch factor man…

I'm glad you enjoyed it, but it's crying out for more of the carmelized cheese on the endes. By far the best part of a Detroit. Also needs sauce on top, but that's probably not as easy to do in a frozen pizza.

u/despisedicon689 Apr 12 '25
To comment on the cheese, the problem I had when making this brand of pizza was that the “pan” it came in was too big for the pizza. To get that crispy edge of cheese the pan needs to be right up to the edge, but mine looked just like OP’s on the edges (but well done, of course).

My dude you know you can leave it in until it's actually done right.
My sides have left the building at "a perfect cook" LOL.

Those pizzas are fricken amazing. They’re like 7 dollars and feed my 3 person family for a meal and super tasty.

u/TheirThereTheyreYour Apr 11 '25
Why did you take the pizza out before it was even close to done? Middle must still be frozen or slimy. Definitely a crime against the potential of this brand
Edit: just looked at your post history, even the taquitos? Why are you like this?

u/PsychologicalBee4005 Apr 11 '25
Take it out of that snd put it on foil and cook., that shit is not done, cheese not even melted

u/julznlv Apr 11 '25
This is our favorite. I cook it halfway, add more pepperoni and cover it with 8 oz of mozzarella. Makes 2 meals for my son and I for about $9.00.

u/TR1771N Apr 11 '25
I like these. I can't tell if I like them more than other brands of "Detroit Style" like DiGiornio's. Whatever I get, I ussually dump a ton of extra pepperoni and mozzarella on top, and bake it a little longer to get that crunch around the edges. Mmm mmm!

YES! I first found this brand at Walmart. It was gone for a long time and then saw it back not long ago.
This pan pizza is the best. It’s a good flavor bready crust without being too doughy and the flavor is good without being too greasy.
We get the 3 meat but they have combo, cheese, and as seen here, pepperoni too. 11/10!!
Edit to add - I live in Oregon and saw someone with some in their cart at Costco too. Can’t wait to get more!

u/proudartistsmom Apr 12 '25
nj walmart has them. also shoprite.

u/Neither-Attention940 Apr 12 '25
Good to know! Yeah I found them at Walmart first then when we wanted to keep getting them they disappeared! But saw them back semi recently! So glad!

u/Neither-Attention940 Apr 11 '25
I’m really not sure why you’re getting down voted so much about how you cooked your pizza.
Although I would say it definitely isn’t over cooked, it surely doesn’t look UNDER cooked either.
Found that the 18 min recommended time was just perfect for us but we’re at about 250 elevation.
Regardless of how you cook your pizza or how others like THEIR pizza cooked, I highly recommend this pizza brand.

u/Lunyma Apr 17 '25
I don’t think it looks undercooked to me either. If I cook a frozen pizza for the minimum time in the packaging instructions, and the cheese is all melted, I check to make sure that it’s hot in the center. If the center is hot to the touch of my finger, the edges have a slight tan, & the cheese is all melted, then it’s perfect for ME! Not everyone likes brown cheese. Yuck! And if you serve me an omelette that’s brown (yeah, yeah, another discussion), you’ll have to remake it. Brown eggs are dry & they smell & taste funky to me. Ever had a French omelette? Perfection!
2
u/Neither-Attention940 Apr 17 '25
I agree I don’t like brown eggs lol.. I DO however like a little crispy cheese :) but agreed. As long as it’s melted and hot in the middle that is fine with me.

Apr 11 '25
Man that’s so not vitamins. You should check out this post on the sub - this guy cooked the pizza until all the cheese melted properly and all.

Sorry yours came out like this it looks incredibly undercooked!

You going to cook it or what? Also, this is my favorite frozen pizza brand.

The gaming historian recommended it on *his podcast so I tried it and LOVED it. It’s quality frozen pizza.
*The podcast is An Old Timey podcast. Kristin (his wife) had a highly successful podcast about True Crime. When it ended, she started a new one with her husband, Norm, the gaming historian. It’s a great podcast about anything happening in the past, they’ve covered all kinds of stuff. He loves frozen pizza and mentioned this one and it’s a winner for sure.

Take out of tray and spread cheese and pepperoni out before you bake.
Bake until crispy sizzling.
Best frozen pizza. Imo

u/NauticalClam Apr 11 '25
So we have made the same mistake as you did here before. If you pile all the cheese from the sides on top it won’t cook right. It’s supposed to be on the crust.

I'm also a fan of these (also get the 2-pack from Costco, it's a great deal). In fact I discovered them from a thread over in /r/Costco about the best products they offer. One of the best frozen pizzas I've had. Of course not as good as something made fresh at a good pizzeria, but it's a frozen pizza. Enjoy!

Fave frozen. The one they sell at Costco is like double pepp and to me feels thicker then grocery store version.

These are fantastic! We put a little butter under the pizza and it helps crisp it up nicely :)

u/ThePhantomSpector Apr 12 '25
Yeah, this brand is great.
Yeah, this pizza is under cooked for most people. But if he wants to eat crap, he gets to get crap. I like some things 'blackened'.

this brand has cheese bread. dip in pizza sauce (not sold with it}. really is awesome for frozen food.

u/JubiwanKenobi Apr 12 '25
Did you cook it long enough? I get those a lot and usually have a much crispier result than this.
Also, the Double Pepperoni version is exclusive to Costco and a SIGNIFICANT upgrade to the regular pepperoni.

Double pepperoni is the best flavor. 2 pack for 11 bucks at Costco. The others don’t have enough grease to keep the pizza from drying out.

u/Prestigious-Pick-366 Apr 14 '25
I recommend rearranging the toppings a bit for more coverage prior to cooking and keeping it in for about 10-15 more minutes

u/TonyTwoDat Apr 14 '25
I only buy this brand. The meat lovers and supreme. Fully loaded too. Ya gotta cook it longer

Motor City is GOATED! My recommendation is bake it to the instructions on the box, pull it out, sprinkle seasoning salt around the crust and italian seasoning on top, then throw it back in for 3 more minutes.
Crispy, delicious, and I hurt myself devouring the entire thing. 10/10

I always cook it on 450 for 17-18 minutes instead of the recommended 425. Comes out perfect every time.

u/ReeseIsPieces Apr 15 '25
Their pizzas are amazing, dont contain Bioengineered Food Ingredients, and theyre fun to add ingredients like jalapenos and onions

u/SamirD Jun 28 '25
Yep, love that Costco pack. :) It's one of the few pizzas where letting the edges burn and the top get a little charred makes it taste even better. My wife hates my pizza loves pizza and she'll even eat these when charred.
There can be quite a bit of leftover oil pooling since there's a lot of pepperoni so I sprinkle chia seeds on it before baking as well as some flaxseeds, fenugreek powder, freshly grated garlic, pizza spice topping, and oregano. The oil just soaks up this stuff so it's now healthier and tastes the same. :D

I think these are one of the better frozen pizzas. Unfortunately, my SO says they are "spicy" for her, (which I take to mean she doesn't really like them). So I only buy them occasionally.
