In a tragic move of epic journalistic failure, Slice, the ever popular pizza blog from the gang at Serious Eats, just undermined their years of good work in one fell swoop. In an attempt to unlock the Rubik’s cube that is frozen pizza, one of their bloggers posted the results of a frozen pizza taste test.
Shamefully, the competition was limited to DiGiorno, Red Baron, Freschetta PizzAmore, Tombstone, and the Whole Foods house brand. What a crock … there is just no way to talk frozen discs of goodness unless you mention Totino’s … it’s ridiculously cheap, amazing delicious, and just the best damn frozen product on earth.
To make my ire known to others, I have penned this post and shamed serious eats on their blog! Rise up and join me! Viva La Frozen Pizza Revolution!

Last week, I mentioned that a well respected NYC foodie and a local heavyweight were scampering around town to try some of the best Atlanta has to offer. Yesterday, Ed Levine, the NYC dude of Serious Eats fame, posted a writing by John Kessler, the AJC’s food dude. Topics included the delicious pizzas that we all talk oh so much about. Yes, that’s Varasano’s, Antico Pizza, & Fritti, for all you rock dwellers. Though there isn’t a great deal of “review” details in the post, the article does seem to tip its hat in the direction of Antico.
Kessler goes on to discuss Atlanta’s burgeoning farm-to-table scene, BuHi’s Korean BBQ and ramen, and checks out with a tip of the hat to Woodfire Grill’s Kevin Gillespie and The Hil’s Hilary White. I’m not sure if Levine actually went anywhere other than Antico and V’s, and his opinion is notably absent from the piece. Still, it’s great to see Kessler pushing us on the national scene, and it’s a well-written summary piece for anyone trying to get a lay of the land.
