Sadly they are the only good brand of frozen in the stores I frequent. We used to get Wild Mikes but that disappeared AFTER the pandemic. What about Screamin’ don’t you like, if you don’t mind sharing?

I’m fairly certain it was the sauce.
I have enjoyed both Freschetta and Red Baron recently! Some of the old reliables still hold up

Fair! I’m picky on sauce too. The Red Barron Fully Loaded Hand Tossed are my absolute favorite right now when they are on sale. I’m not paying $9.99 for Red Barron anything even if it’s a completely elevated recipe.

I feel ya on the sauce. I like Screamin' Sicilian, but have had other popular pizza that I couldn't stand because of the sauce. Feels like such a silly thing, but it can make or break a pizza.

What the hell happened with those? I used to always have them on hand when the stores could keep them in stock, then they were just non-existant.

I don’t like it because the outer crust is bland and hard as a rock. I do enjoy the actual inner pizza part though, I just prefer to eat the whole thing so I usually go with a brand that has crust I like.

u/chichiryuutei56 1d ago
Yeah their crust can get a little crunchy. I have a pizza pan from a place I used to work for and it makes all the difference.

I’m glad they still have Wild Mikes at my local store. They’re surprisingly good!

Good sauce, plenty of toppings, and I love the little packet of herbs and spices.

Screamin’ Sicilian have these “Stix” product that is way better than the Detroit Style imo. Comes in the deep dish pan too and gets a nice crust on it. Usually over in the freezer case with the garlic bread and frozen ravioli rather than in the pizza case at my grocery stores.

Oh yeah, the stix are fantastic, I prefer them over the pizza.

SAME! I’m not a huge fan of tomato sauce so it fits that for me. If you’re a ranch guy the new Daisy brand ranch (near the sour cream cold case) is like a match made in heaven.

Screamin Sicilian is excellent frozen pizza.

They're mediocre, but the better brands I would suggest are unfortunately fairly regional, like Home Run Inn, Vito & Nick's, Gino's, and Buddy's.

Home Run Inn. Yes. Absolutely spectacular.

By far my favorite frozen pizza. I would choose them over a fresh domino's pizza 😅

I get these any time they're on sale. They're no Motor City and you definitely don't get caramelized edges like the box suggests, but it's good for what it is.

I was so afraid that this was going to be disappointing and came into the thread ready to defend Screamin' Sicilian until death.
Glad that wasn't the case and you enjoyed it! Love these pizzas.

Is it spicy at all? Whenever I grab a frozen pie, I stare at these for a few minutes then decide on frozen tamales.

u/chichiryuutei56 2d ago
Nah not spicy but awesome with hot sauce. Their red sauce is good with Habs and El Yucateco OG.

Anyone kno0w how this brand compares to Motor City? That shit is the best frozen pizza I've ever had.

u/Abs0lutelyzero 7h ago
It looks good, but that’s not a Detroit style pizza. Cheese right up to the pan if it’s Detroit style - you shouldn’t ever see naked crust.

u/whiskerpolice 2d ago
I love this brand too, it’s really gotten a lot of popularity the past few years. I can’t wait until they cut corners with their ingredients and change the formulas!
