About to make a manager’s special $3.60 pepperoni pizza so I am very excited for today’s Grocery Store Treasure
Mmmm, a delicious burning aroma is currently filling the house, pretty sure a pepperoni fell off into the stove flame area
<extreme Al Pacino voice> “Yeah baby, this pizza’s got GIRTH! It’s got PIZZAZZ, look at that CRUST!!”
Almost burned my tongue off on the first bite. The flavor profile is reminiscent of a late 1980’s Dominos, with hints of Shakey’s.
The dough is gelatinous and unsettling, and the pepperonis lost all hope twenty minutes ago, but on the whole it meets the price point.

+1 for calling out Shakey’s! That was my childhood pizza parlor in McMinnville, OR. I miss those crispy little cupped ‘ronis.
"This dish is an endless chain of catastrophes, the demise of my soft palate being just one of those events. In the flavor profile I sense no control, no logic, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of chaos." - Werner H.
My first job was at Shakey’s in 1977… still have my bow tie and name tag packed away somewhere…
Last time I heard “gelatinous” and “unsettling” in the same sentence was my wedding night.
That review is getting toward Werner Herzog food critic. Which should totally be a thing.
I'd pay *damn* *good* money for one more go at a Shakeys.
Shakey's left the DC area a good 30 years ago.
Still miss gorging on the Shakey's buffet! 🍕
So, pizza to eat along to “My Prerogative”?
Shakey’s?! Haven’t heard that in forever. Damn good pizza!
Best-worst frozen pizza review EVER
Clearly needed more PINEAPPLE
A bit bummed it looks better than it tastes.
Our cheap pizza protocol is adding some shredded mozz & chopped up pepperoni to totino's frozen square pizzas. This is way better than you would expect.
Now I want Shakey's though
I gotta be honest, you’re probably better off with Pizza Luce
Shakeys lives now only in my memories…
And some place in California. Also maybe the Philippines? Somewhere in Asia
Shakey’s lives forever in our hearts, and our heartburn from too many mojo potatoes
