Chances are if you order a cheese pizza from a chain or the neighborhood joint on Super Bowl Sunday you’re going to end up waiting two hours for it to arrive while everyone stares at the empty bowl of wings. But with a little bit of expert planning, you can order a frozen pie in advance that’s even better than delivery (and far surpasses what you’re going to find in the frozen food aisle at your local grocery store). Plus, these pies won’t show up cold and each of these pizzas are near-legendary in their respective home cities. Below a guide to the best gourmet frozen pizzas you can stick in your own oven.
Roberta’s Wood Fired Pizza, $10 on Fresh Direct
Robert’s Pizza
The famously chewy crust and perfectly melted cheese—all from your oven in just five minutes—make us wonder what kind of witchcraft is going on over there at the Roberta’s HQ in New York’s Bushwick neighborhood, where this no-frills pizzeria has been feeding hungry hipsters for the last decade. What time of day is it? Doesn’t matter, there’s definitely still a line for a table after all these years.See It
Table 87 Coal Oven Pizza, $11 on Fresh Direct
Table 87
This thin crust pie from Table 87, the definitive home of the coal-fired slice, is the best you can get without actually making a trip to the iconic Brooklyn spot on Atlantic Avenue. Just pop this Margherita pizza in the oven for seven to nine minutes—way faster than delivery. And so much more delicious.See It
Lou Malnati’s Deep Dish Pizza, 6 for $113 on Goldbelly
Goldbelly
Feed the whole crew with these heavy pies that have been legendary in Chicago ever since Lou’s opened in 1971. (There’s now 52 locations in the area.) Nowhere else can you get this kind of flavor magic—flaky buttery crust loaded with gooey cheese and slathered in tomato sauce. Choose from a wide variety of toppings (definitely put a spinach in your order) and know that you can even order heart-shaped versions. Awwww.See It
Gino’s East Meaty Legend Pizza, $29 on Goldbelly
Goldbelly
It would be unfair to mention Lou Malnati’s and not Gino’s East, another Chi-town fave with graffitied walls that have been around since the ’60s. (Why do locals like one over the other? It’s hard to say, it like asking a Chicagoan why they like the Cubs over the Sox. You’re just kinda born liking one over the other.) Go for the Meaty Legend, which is loaded with pepperoni, Italian sausage, Canadian bacon, and more bacon.See It
Imos Pizza, 4 for $99 on Goldbelly
Goldbelly
This go-to from the Lou (that’s Midwestern speak for St. Louis) has a cracker-thin crust that comes with tons of different topping options: buffalo chicken, hamburger, deluxe (pepper, onions, mushrooms, sausage, and bacon), and all the options in-between. Just make sure when you take it out of the oven you cut it into squares, which is exactly how they do it in the Lou.See It
Motown Meat Supreme, 3 for $79 on Goldbelly
Goldbelly
The dense dough of this rectangular pie is stacked with pepperoni, ham, applewood smoked bacon, and Italian sausage—so literally every meat imaginable. The Detroit delicacy gets a caramelized crust when the cheese warms up in the oven, and the result is worth writing a Motown ditty about.See It
Elegant Brie Gourmet Puff Pastry Pizza, 2 for $79 on Goldbelly
Goldbelly
You fancy, huh? These pizzas (if that’s what you want to call them) are made with puff pastry, which add a buttery goodness to the veggie version, and make you look like you really know what you’re doing in the kitchen.See It
Arcaro & Genell’s Old Forge Pizza, 2 for $89 on Goldbelly
Goldbelly
This Old Forge, Pennsylvania darling has a thick airy crust that comes two ways: choose from the traditional red, or keep it clean with just cheese, rosemary, and olive oil.See It
