Ok for the review: I was ready to rank this among other frozen pizzas I've tried in childhood, which includes Celeste, Elios, bagel bites I guess, and that kind of shit. Though this honestly punched right out of its class and demands to be ranked among real corporate pizzas like Domino's or Papa's.

Now, I'll start with the main negative you could accuse this pizza of having, which is that you know the crust came right off an assembly line. Besides being perfectly round and suspiciously smooth, it has a wafery, crackery texture and mouthfeel which reminded me of the cardboard circle the pizza came on. That being said, it at least didn't taste like cardboard. It actually had a good wheaty/bready taste and I found the texture oddly satisfying. Not mushy, bland, and sad like a celeste pizza. I would guess that they use real pizza crust ingredients but just use a machine to shape and pre-bake it.

For the other ingredients; I found the sauce to be acceptable (at least on par with Domino's, which actually exceeded my expectations). I found the cheese to be of remarkable quality, it's definitely real low-moisture mozzarella, and the dead giveaway for this is the amount of bright orange oil that seeped out of it. You can't replicate that with the fake cheese made of seed oils and soy pulp. Also it goes without saying that there was a great amount of pepperonis on it and they actually had two different sizes of pepperoni which were of different formulas, a minor detail that I found impressive.

Overall ranking:
For freezer pizza 10/10, a new benchmark for me
For any corporate pizza, 7/10, I think one of the national chains is better than this and it's tied with another national chain and it's better than the others.
For any pizza, 5/10, I live in Hudson County though so it's not a super fair comparison with what I have access to
Value per dollar: I'll give it an 8. I'm satisfyingly full for 10 bucks and the taste was much better than $10 worth of fast food.
