We sampled three different pizzas, and of the three pizzas I only found one to be somewhat good.
The first pizza was homemade. It had a thicker and softer crust, and the top was very greasy. The overall appearance was light, fluffy, and golden. It smelled pretty close to what any pizza would smell like but the taste was a little weak but still cheesy. I would rate this pizza a 6/10.
The second pizza was from a bag mix, the crust was thin and dark although it was pretty chewy. the top of the pizza was darker and salty. It smelled and tasted nothing like pizza and made me sick, which made this pizza the worst and I would rate it 4/10. The last one we tasted was frozen pizza. It also had a thin crust and was a little crumbly and I would rate the softness 2/3. It definitely smelled best although it didn't look like it. I would rate this pizza 8/10.

Cheesy pizza review 

There was three type of pizza that I had tasted, there was homemade, frozen, and bagged. out of the three of them homemade was the most delightful, with the thick crust and with the cornmeal gave it more texture and the cheese had a light brown color to it. The homemade pizza was the most appealing to the eye. The frozen pizza was the second best because every american has experienced frozen pizza, with the thin crust and the crunchiness of the pizza as a whole, the pizza had a lot of bright flavor to it. The last one i had tasted was the bagged pizza, it honestly tasted like spaghetti and not the best spaghetti that your grandmother makes. When you actually tasted the bagged pizza it was okay just didn't taste like pizza. For everyone who likes pizza, I would recommend the homemade because it has more of a lighter texture than the rest, plus who doesn't love homemade food? 

Pizza Food Critique

    First, let's talk about the Homemade Pizza Crust White: Looks are great pizzas, with a characteristic  orange color of pizza, light,  relative thickness, the surface can seen a bit sour and oily. Tasted very good, moderate softness there, not too salty nor too sweet. This is a kind of pizza I like.

    As for the Pre. Made Crust : for me It's really not that bad, it's thin, tiny, brownish, brittle, with a bit of sour sweet. I think this pretty much taste people love. I also love this pizza.

    

    The last one, Frozen Pizza: It's not the pizza I like, from texture to taste. It's thin, dry steam, the color a bit like the Pre. Made Crust Pizza.

The homemade crust was bubbly and the crust was super thin. The frozen pizza was brown and the bottom was lumpy and burned. The premade pizza was the best but the only down side to the pizza is the stuff on the bottom of the pizza.

Pizza Critique

We sampled three different pizzas, but I found only one of the them satisfactory.

I found the homemade pizza to be the most appealing and flavorful, so i would rate it a 9/10. The crust was very fluffy and crisp. The crust was also able to to hold all the toppings and sauce without becoming soggy, which can't be said for the other pizzas. With the crust being a risen dough, the yeast gave it a very unique taste. I also experienced some spiciness, but that might have ben more from the sauce. The crust was slightly overdone but still retained a beautiful golden color. Out of the three pizzas, this one was the most aromatic. You could smell the yeastiness of the crust right as you are about to eat it. Overall, this pizza ranked fairly high on my list, nearing the rank of Black Sheep's Meatball Pizza.

On to the next pizza we tried, which was with the pre-made crust. When most people think of pre-made pizza dough, they think of a freezer-burnt and pale excuse of a pizza. But on the contrary, this crust was surprisingly not terrible, as I would rank it a 7/10. Sure, it wasn't the most amazing pizza in the world, but in a pinch for dinner, I'd make it. The taste of the crust was lightly cardboard like, but not some much that it overpowered the cheese and sauce. The color was significantly paler than the homemade crust, but obtained some sense of color. The aroma of this pizza crust lacked astronomically compared to the homemade pizza. There was almost no scent to it at all. The overall appearance was fine, there could have been more cheese in my opinion.

The last pizza we tried was the dreaded frozen pizza, which I gave a rating of 4/10. The crust had the consistency of wet cardboard left to dry out in the sun, very soggy and bland. The taste of the crust was old and bitter. The overall color of the pizza was very unappealing. There'd be a sad swipe of sauce here and a little pinch of cheese there. Then there would be random "sausage" pieces scattered about. The crust itself was completely white and pale, it looked almost undercooked. The aroma of the pizza was nonexistent. All in all, the pizza was the worst pizza out of the three we tasted. It also might be the most bland and sad pizza I personally have ever had.

We had to try three types of pizzas. They were homemade, pre-made crust, and frozen pizza. At home, I usually go buy pizza from Pizza Hut, or Pizza Studio. Trying all these types of pizzas was very disappointing, because I did not like how they tasted. Pre-made crust was bland, homemade tasted like it was just too much--even though it was the best out of all, and frozen tasted like cardboard!

Homemade Pizza- ✮✮✮✰✰

The homemade pizza was juicy and cheesy. The cheese was soft, and it was stringy. The pizza was kind off mushy because when I picked it up, the pizza felt so fragile. But the color was beautiful. It was orangery with speckles of white cheese on it. The fact that it was homemade was interesting because I have never had homemade pizza. I was surprised that it actually turned out pretty well. When I eat pizza, I like to have a mix of flavors; this pizza had more sauce and flavor to the others but it was too simple for me. The crust was soft for me, I like a thin and crunchy crust. The aroma for the pizza was in first place; it smelled like a real pizza compared to the other ones. But when I ate it, it was the plain tomato sauce with a thin crust and too much cheese.

Pre-Made Crust- ✮✮✰✰✰

The pre-made crust came in second place. The pizza was too flat, It seemed to have barely any sauce on it. It looked very pale, lumpy and bland. It was not appealing at all. There was no flavor except for the cheese. The pizza was overall very boring. But it surprised me that this pizza crust was store bought! I thought that store bought crust would be much worse than this. Even though it did not taste very well, the crust tasted the best out of the whole pizza. The pizza seemed to be very greasy, because of the cheese. I do not enjoy eating greasy foods, so it did not appeal to me at all.

Frozen Pizza- ✮✰✰✰✰

Out of all the pizzas I tried, the frozen pizza was the worst! The color was dark and burnt. The whole pizza was extremely flat. The meat was all shriveled, it was not what I was hoping for. I eat frozen pizza occasionally, but compared to the homemade pizza, I almost gave this pizza a zero! The cheese was no where to be seen because the whole pizza was brown and dark. It was very stale, it seemed like it was very old. After one small bite, I could not stand to take another. The pizza seemed very stiff. It practically had no taste at all. It tasted like a very fake and cheap pizza.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall, the pizzas did not meet my expectations. Out of all the pizzas that I tried, the homemade pizza placed first. The aroma made me want to eat the pizza right away. Even though it was too simple of a pizza for me, it tasted the best compared to the pre-made crust and the frozen pizza. This taste test has made me realize that I will never have frozen pizza again!
