In my baking and pastry class we were asked to sample three different types of pizza and vote on which one had the best taste, texture, and appearance. The three pizzas we had to choose between were Frozen, Pre-made, or Homemade and here was how I decided which one I like the best. 

Frozen: 

The frozen pizza was honestly the worst out of all three. The crust was very dry and tough to chew. The sauce was not spicy enough, or satisfying at all. The meat mix that was a top the pizza was very bland and quite dry. Once you got past the first bite the texture of the pizza was dry with every bite, and it's appearance wasn't too pleasing either. The pizza was very thin and almost had a burnt look to it in general. Don't take me wrong this pizza smelled delicious between the sweet marinara smell and the spicy meat. I'd eat it over the other pizzas if we voted by smell, or I've just eaten enough frozen pizza in my life.

Pre-Made:

The Pre-made was a tiny bit better than the Frozen only because it's appearance looked more appetizing, but it still had the stale and crunchy crust which I didn't like that much. This pizza tasted greasy and bland overall. It wasn't the worst but it still was one of my least favorites. The sauce reminded me of eating spaghetti which made me want pasta, not pizza. The Texture of the pizza was better than the frozen since it wasn't as dry or crunchy. But the appearance was pretty much the same for the both of them, dull. The smell to this pizza was very similar to the Homemade one because of the sauce on both of them. Smelled very tomato like and somewhat garlicy. 

Homemade:
This pizza was the best out of all three of the pizzas we had tried. The appearance alone made you want to sink your teeth into it. The crust and dough was thick, with a garlic, Parmesan, parsley sprinkled crust to the cornmeal on the bottom of the pizza. The sauce was still too spaghetti like which I didn't like a lot, but the melted salty cheese layered on top of the pizza countered that. The texture of the pizza was pleasing because it was soft and chewy, it was not hard to bite into and get a bit of each delicious flavor. You could smell this pizza just walking into the room, an you knew it was this one because no other one seemed to have any amazing spices on them. This made you want to eat more of this one than the others just because it met your taste buds before you ate it.
