Pizza is stupid cheap to make at home. Domino's is currently offering Minecraft pizzas that are less than twice the size for more than twice the cost. But making it at home means no grease soaked collectable box.

Cost per person before toppings: $2.77 It is very hard to fit even a dollar worth of toppings on a pizza.

Does getting a cheap $4 unfrozen Aldi Pizza, adding grilled chicken tossed in buffalo sauce, covering it with more cheese, and cooking it in the smoker you found on the side of the road, count?

I mean…. If you go that route, you just gotta upgrade it with more toppings.

Got Costco's 4 pepperoni pizzas for $15. Good deal there

The judges say they’ll allow it in the modified category. 👍

We doctor up pizzas all the time. Our current fav is the costco Detroit pies with more cheese, onions, olives and whatever else we have lying around.

I used to doctor pizza. I'd grab a $5 freezer cheese pizza and add my own toppings. But these days that's almost twice as much as it costs me to make from scratch.

Agreed. Really the only time we use ever frozen is if it’s been a busy day and we failed to plan dinner.

We just got a Costco, we'll have to check that out.

To be honest, the Aldi Pizza... Wasn't that good. It's the second time we've gotten it, the first time we were really rushed and didn't doctor it at all, it wasn't great.

I thought maybe doctoring it and smoking it would help, and it did, but not enough to make it worth it.

Really we should just make pizza from scratch like OP intended.

Scratch is the best way for sure, but those square Detroit pies are like crack. Very tasty…and salty!

Much appreciated 😊

Aldi fridge pizzas punch so far above their weight.

What's wrong with the gravity at Aldi?
