I live by myself and don't see myself taking the time to mix dough, wait for it to rise, pound it out... I would have to start making pizza waaay before I wanted it - which is supposed to be the benefit of a freaking pizza parlor - they anticipated your need and had a good dough and fresh ingredients to bake a pie for you when you wanted one. Great concept, but implementation in this town fails miserably and consistently and I have had it. But I need pizza...

I am not a fan of frozen, and am trying to eat less packaged/processed food overall. But I still want pizza.

So far my solution is to use flour tortillas and while they are a serviceable delivery vehicle for sauce, cheese, and whatever else I add they are kind of a poor substitute for a good pizza crust. Anyone know of a crust you can buy that would be better than tortillas?

Or maybe I should try stacking three or four tortillas? I am not sure that is going to help the flavor and consistency any though.

I would even consider "doctoring" frozen pizza. I used to do that with Totino's because they were cheaper than anything else and seemed at least as good. So let me hear it. What are the best pre-made crusts or frozen pies out there?

Two options for ya.

First, how about french bread pizzas?  Grab some 12" sub rolls.  Cut them in half, and separate the tops from the bottoms.  Add pizza sauce, toppings, and cheese, then throw them in the oven or under the broiler.

Option 2.  Do you have a Sam's Club or Costco nearby?  Both sell ready to cook pies that you just have to throw in the oven, and I think you can actually buy just the prepared dough as well.  They are pretty decent.  In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if your local Publix doesn't have those available.
