Vive l'Italie? Is this French?
Those Big City pizzas taste like cardboard anyway.
Came here to suggest an alternative: Crosta & Mollica
As far as I can tell they're even from Italy.
We kinda get the best of both worlds: we just get the bases and make what we want so the speed of a ready made pizza, but the flavours of home made.
But still, NO PINEAPPLE !!
But still, NO PINEAPPLE !!
You're one of those sociopaths that puts kiwi on your pizza aren't you?!
Kiwis, no... Australians... maybe (jk)
No, I'm a firm believer in meat and spice on a pizza: 'nduja, jalepeรฑos and chorizo are my usual
Fair enough pal, that sounds exactly like my standard zza...except I do actually put pineapple on mine. Instead of chunks I use pulped, strain as much juice out as I can manage, and lightly sprinkle some on. And some baby spinach under the cheese.....
Dr Oetker is european; and it isn't Nestlรจ
so that's two points it has over Wagner :)
Dr Oerker was founded by a nazi. Probably still controlled and owned by nazis. Check Wikipedia for their family history.
Edit: not all German companies, this one specifically, check my answer below for details. Also some companies supported and profited from the nazi regime but aren't affiliated anymore. They changed ownership, renounced their past and the ideology and eventually made reparations. I don't believe this is the case with Dr Oetker but I would be happy to be proven wrong.
Everything german is Nazi from the early 1900 got it.
Sod off.
Definitely not, lot of good German companies. on my phone so didn't make a detailed essay, which is why I encouraged you to read Wikipedia.
For those who can't be bothered:
During the 1930s and 1940s, Rudolf-August Oetker was an active member of the Waffen-SS of the Third Reich. The company supported the war effort by providing pudding mixes and munitions to German troops. The business used slave labour in some of its facilities. A bronze bust of Richard Kaselowsky still sits within the company headquarters in Bielefeld. Kaselowsky was killed during an air raid on Bielefeld in 1944.[2] The Oetker Family is among those German families, who have profited most from their close relations to the Nazi regime.[3]
I have to correct the original founder might not be a nazi. His grand son defined was.
The company is still privately held by the same family, and controlled
Richard Oetker, August Oetker's brother, took over as CEO in 2010.

Edit: before someone try to paint me as some anti German strawman. I like Germany, and went there multiple time, for works, vacation and the ccc congresses and camps And it actually pained me to learn the company history because I actually liked their pizza.
Wagner also committed war crimes in Ukraine. Or so I've heard.
Angry upvote
No, you're thinking of the Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary organisation.
This is Wagner, the antisemitic 19th century German composer.
Can he just go back to music? Ukraine and pizza is a bit too much for my liking.
No no, this is Wagner, the private liberal arts college on Staten Island. Those damn liberals with their New York based Hawaiian pizza.
I believe that's a different Wagner Group. Well I hope...
After they tried to do a coup, they had to diversify. Making pizzas is less likely to cause falling from a window or mistake novichok for sugar.
or mistake novichok for sugar
yeah, but if they do, it's so much worse.

as an avid frozen pizza enjoyer, both of these suck, taste wise
Dr Oetker is miserable
which ones don't suck, MR frozen pizza connoisseur?
...
ok I admit I had to look up how to spell connoisseur so these forthcoming pizzas better be the bees knees.
Grandiosa has the best frozen pizzas.
This one sucks the least.
Of course nothing beats the absolute cheapest pizza you can find at the discounter when you're having a LAN party.
This being called Salami Pizza reminds me of a time I ordered pepperoni pizza in Venice. I did not get what I was thinking I would, but it was still awesome. (They put actual peppers instead of โpepperoniโ)
Yeah. A friend told me of his folly of ordering "salami" pizza in the US and getting some disgusting sausages.

Dr.Oetker is the shit anyway iykyk
I mean you this won't fix the fact that it's a fucking Hawaiian pizza. Y'all are philistines.
We were feeling more united than ever is this community but you decided to start a fight with our Italian friends? Why???
Envy :((
I love the Ristorante line of their pizzas. Sadly the store I usually buy stuff from no longer sells my favourite one.
Dr Oetker Tradizionale or Suprema are my Pizza of choice.
The Ristorante, not so much.
Dr Oetker Tradizionale
schmeck ich, especially this one:
