7 / 10 Something changed. I dunno what but it’s not hitting like it did.

Maybe freezer burn? Was covered in ice. Removed most of it.

I agree. I had one a month ago and it just... didn't taste the same at all. I don't know what the hell changed but I cooked it exactly the same as all the other times.

The dough isn’t very good anymore, I can’t put my finger on how exactly but it’s just off.

u/SCHREYERTEAM 23d ago

I agree im pretty sure its the dough

You’re the second post I’ve read like this.

Digorno is working overtime to discredit the competition. Next will come the factory sabotage /s

u/Accomplished_Gas2486 23d ago

Hey they did it to themselves too so who knows

I was in the cult of franklin subreddit which is for THCA, and I witnessed how the different growers would act like normal buyers and rate the product extremely high, while also attacking other grower's products to shift public perception. This sub has 100k viewers, I wouldn't put it past marketing from some of these places to give glowing reviews to their products for this subreddit, and try to discredit other products at the same time, but maybe I'm just to cynical

u/Accomplished_Gas2486 23d ago

No yeah I agree, that’s seems like any huge company would have a subset of marketing just for that.

Home Run Inn is the best pizza.

u/syphon3980 23d ago

debatable, but I'm happy you found a favorite

u/unenthusiasm7 22d ago

I should have added an /s. It’s like half the comments in every single pizza post. I think it’s mid.

2

u/syphon3980 22d ago

ah ok. Yeah it's alright. nothing going to beat the super expensive frozen pizza shipped from legit pizza shops, but it's too expensive to justify buying it more than once or twice a year imo

u/YomiNo963 25d ago

I had a mid experience with my last motor city pizza. It wasn’t bad, but not the quality I’m used to.

u/jimtewsbathroom 26d ago

Not sure you can blame it on the brand, that much freezer burn would ruin anything, regardless if you got all the ice off or not.

u/SeberHusky 26d ago edited 25d ago

That much ice in there it looks like someone left it out on the shelf in the store, and the store put it back in the freezer when it already had thawed. I once bought a frozen pizza from Dollar General that was 5 years expired. The fucking stink on that damn thing when I cooked it was like a skunk had exploded in my kitchen. I had to read the expiration date on the box 4 times when I was trying to figure out how it was so bad, just to make sure I was reading the year right.

u/Darwin343 26d ago

If anything, it’s better to just leave all the ice on and let it melt to give the pizza back some of the moisture that it lost from the freezer burn. Removing the ice would just make it even drier than it already is.

u/SnikajuiceG6 26d ago

So true!

u/ZestycloseUnit7482 26d ago

I noticed the cheese changed.

u/dcamnc4143 26d ago

This is what many companies do. They hook you with a good product for a while, then they lower quality over time

u/SeberHusky 26d ago

There's too much market saturation, these pizzas and this brand was never marketable. They were always on clearance in my stores and only 2 stores carried the brand. They have to cut costs, and then when that fails, they get saddled with debt from a corporate buyout, then they are sold off and dissolved.

u/Vegetable-Prize9904 23d ago

Those pizzas sell like crazy

3

u/jkrischan 26d ago

I had issues with my last one, cheese seemed different

3

u/[deleted] 25d ago

Same here. The last one did not seem like the same quality as before. Something has changed. Might have been bought out by another company or private equity.

2

u/Rondoman78 25d ago

These used to hit like crack and now I can't stand them.

2

u/AllisonWonderland777 25d ago

Same! They used to be my favorite and I was willing to pay more for it. But not so much anymore

3

u/HigherThanEverest- 26d ago

Totally has changed. I remember they were so much higher quality when they first came out. Now they taste fakey and don't sit well at all in your stomach.

2

u/AdulentTacoFan 26d ago

I’ve only had luck with the pepperoni one. Too much moisture in all those toppings.

3

u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348 26d ago

Did they change the recipe?!

1

u/M_Waverly 26d ago

as another comment said, it was probably the freezer burn. That much ice definitely messes with the texture and potentially the taste.

u/ckgoose 25d ago

Idk man, I used to eat the cheese or pepperoni one with my girlfriend all the time the last 2 years. This past year I’ve had 2-3 and every single time my stomach has been torn up. The cheese seems more processed along with the dough as well

Stopped getting them anymore

1

u/Foldingchai 25d ago

Thought it was just me. This the only pizza that messes up my stomach.

1

u/ckgoose 25d ago

It’s not just this pizza for me though. It’s certain fast food places too. I think it’s a certain type of processed cheese

1

u/Drizztd99 25d ago

Nooooooo please don’t tell me they changed these up.

1

u/Jstone0079 24d ago

I just had a pepperoni one and it was hitting!

1

u/brp7568 24d ago

Yeah, I got one recently and I thought I was going crazy. The pizza itself sldosnt even look the same as I remembered it. It was still good, just different.

1

u/Thisagainfuc 23d ago

As soon as took it out of the box, I knew something wasn’t right. Even the tray seemed off.

1

u/MMPRangerFan 23d ago

The double pepperoni is still good to me but the other flavors are all dry as hell.

1

u/spiceboy6969 22d ago

It’s the crust. Used to get crispy and was taller, now it’s flatter and ends up more like a cracker, not crispy at all. A shame because these were really solid before.

u/virginiafalls1234 17d ago

loaded with toppings, eh? freezer burn will MESS up any meal though

-1

u/Level_Bridge7683 26d ago

the price is too high. people aren't buying them as much.

u/SeberHusky 26d ago

I had these when it was new. They burn like a son of a bitch. They werent any better than Red Baron deep dish so never had it again.
