Digiorno Supreme Pizza has a cinnamon taste to it!

Brain tumors can alter your sense of taste and smell.

So can a stroke.

Got to love necro pizza threads.

Man I gotta start looking closer at dates before I reply!

I can even taste the cinnamon in their Pepperoni pizzas. It's definitely there, or I have a brain tumor, either way.

you guys are all imagining things

this is like a "support my delusions" thread

I stay away from those rising pizzas in general. Not a fan.

Yup, when they first came out I was thinking that the crap-tastic taste of frozen pizza was finally conquered but after trying a few my hopes were dashed, they sucked.

I used to think they were ok until I discovered Trader Joe's supreme pizza. It's thinner and better tasting.

Frozen pizzas are awful. Never had one that tasted good

Umm, not saying that Digornio is an example of traditional Italian cooking, but cinammon is indeed commonly used in many italian dishes. Please remember that us americans have a tendancy to "americanize" any sort of cultural specific dishes.

Indeed! Especially in anything breaded, minute amounts of cinnamon are common. OP keep in mind that sometimes if there is a very small amount, like, say a trace amount, they don't have to list it as an ingredient... this goes especially for anything that might be a "secret" ingredient. THEN keep in mind that any ingredient can be over-added during the vagaries of production.

It would be funny if someone in the factory just spilled a large portion of cinnamon into the batter and just let it go through. Hah. If you've ever done food factory production work you know that isn't that far fetched.

Frozen pizzas are pretty awful because they use the lowest quality ingredients they can still legally feed you. Making proper pizza at home isn't very complicated, and it's price comparable to delivery. Just buy the dough and add whatever toppings you like. Don't have a pizza disc? Make a square one using a baking sheet.

This is a double necro, got an image for that?

I just finished a Digiorno Supreme Pizza. Yeah, I ate the whole thing...leftover pizza sucks. But the pizza, even fresh out of the oven, sucked.

This is the second time in more than a year and it tastes exactly the same. :|

I swear, the pizza has a distinct CINNAMON taste to it. No, I'm not nuts. No other pizza, frozen or fresh tastes like this.

I see no cinnamon listed in the LONG list of ingredients (Now I wish I didn't buy three of them :/ ). WTF does it taste so weird?

Anyone else notice this?

ps
I didn't buy 3 of them a year ago! I bought the 3 today; they had them on sale. Now I know why.

I also had exact same pizza tasted cinnamon too and searched for it online and found this forum. I also thought it might be the sausage/fennel as someone else states later on down but I thought fennel tastes like black licorice so I was still puzzled and I definitely tasted cinnamon like it had been dusted across the whole pizza. I even asked my mother, who baked it, if she had done that and she said no and she didn’t really taste the distinct cinnamon taste I immediately tasted. So, I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who tasted this. Ty

I also gave the sausage to the dog originally thinking that the fennel was the sweetly cinnamony culprit but it had it throughout the pizza still so I just continued to eat it anyways since I was hungry.

I don't eat Digiorno pizza so I have no idea if it does or does not have a taste of cinnamon. But I have to ask, is this a problem? Because cinnamon is yummy.

I know that this is a resurrected thread but my 2 cents. DiGiorno had some pizza combos that were good until a few years ago when they changed their sauce. So many people complained they came out with original sauce pizzas but they were never the same.

 

[IronWing]

It's still a sign of brain cancer.

DiGiorno sucks. Most frozen pizza sucks. The closer it aims to be pizza shop pizza, the more it misses. The best frozen pizzas are the bargain basement cheapies, and the premium boutique pizza that doesn't try to be like a pizza shop. The ones in between are uniformly bad.

If you need a frozen pizza that doesn't suck, look no further:

Screamin' Sicilian doesn't suck, but it's decidedly "meh" and not worth the asking price.

That was my impression also. Can't say I'd never get one again, but I probably won't.

The best frozen pizza I've ever tasted? Pretty easily the Gino's deep dish brand. Sure, the crust is hard after an hour of cooking but the cheese, sauce, and ingredients are all top notch.

The worst? Any supermarket deli pizza. Those cursed things have fooled me at least 10 times in my life. They sit there in the cooler, looking all delicious, but bring them home and bake them and they leave your stomach turning.

The crust is like cardboard, the cheese bakes dry, and the sauce is akin to generic tomato sauce. They make a HS cafeteria piazza taste golden.
