Advantages: tasty every step of the way Disadvantages: they make you fat - fact!!
...and have been eating these chicago town pizzas since feb (started as a craving!!!) and believe me i have eaten alot!! The problem is with these is that i don't think you could find a more unhealthy pizza!! The other problem being that i myself eat them far too regulary, and when i do eat them, i make a fat b*stard of myself and eat them both!!!!
***THE PACKAGING***
Well it's your simple, normal cardboard box. Very colouful ... ...of course there is the chicago town logo above the title of Deep dish triple cheese pizzas...yum yum. Inside the box there are two induvidual pizzas wrapped in clear plastic. There you are your average frozen food box!!!
***HOW TO COOK***
Now these little "make me fat" loverrrlliieers can be cooked in 2 ways. The first way, cooked in the oven, is by far the best option. To cook in the oven simply unwrap and ... more
I think that these things should come with a government warning...."Excessive consumption will make you fat" Jeez these things are so unhealthy for you, yet soooo addictive, that you can easily forget what you are putting into your mouth! Infact i do my best to forget all about the unhealthiness of these things when i'm munching on them, and just enjoy taking in the flavour!! Mmmmmmm. Now i am a great pizza lover, and have been eating these chicago town pizzas since feb (started as a craving!!!) and believe me i have eaten alot!! The problem is with these is that i don't think you could find a more unhealthy pizza!! The other problem being that i myself eat them far too regulary, and when i do eat them, i make a fat b*stard of myself and eat them both!!!!
***THE PACKAGING***
Well it's your simple, normal cardboard box. Very colouful (main colour being red) and very appealing, with a picture of a lovely cheesy pizza on the front (the actual cooked pizza, if done correctly doesn't look that much different!!!) Then of course there is the chicago town logo above the title of Deep dish triple cheese pizzas...yum yum. Inside the box there are two induvidual pizzas wrapped in clear plastic. There you are your average frozen food box!!!
***HOW TO COOK***
Now these little "make me fat" loverrrlliieers can be cooked in 2 ways. The first way, cooked in the oven, is by far the best option. To cook in the oven simply unwrap and place directly oto the oven shelf in a preheated oven (temp 190c) for 20 - 22 mins ( according to the box) Now if you have got a fan assisted oven around 18 minutes is bang on...unless you like cremated pizza, or your cooking pizza for someone you don't like!!!) You can also cok these in the microwave for a time saving option!! They only take 3 minutes in a 850w microwave. Yes alot quicker, but i personally HATE this option. It's like eating an entirely different pizza!! Plus you also have to faf around placing the friggin pizza on the silver disc it's wrapped on, place that on a plate etc....bore bore bore!!!
***THE ALL IMPORTANT EATING EXPERIENCE!!!***
Ah well....the 20 odd minutes always seems like an age to wait....but worth a wait!! When done in the oven, you can smell the cheesyness (is that right?!?!) waft everywhere!! The smell certainly makes you look forward to getting your chops into it!!! This pizza is a strange one i have to admitt. First of all it's a big mini pizza (if that makes any sense) and second of all it's half pizza/half pie!!! Basically it has a lovely crunchy thickish crust and base, which tastes divine, but thats mixed with a lovely thick "tasty" tomato sauce, toped with massive amounts of gooey cheese (3 cheeses are used on this pizza) that stretchs when taking a bite!!mmmmm. The crustiness of the crust (HA!) and softness on the cheese works really well together, and overall the balance between the crust, sauce and cheese on this pizza is perfect. Another great think......it's not soggy!! UNLESS you do the dirty deed and cook it in the microwave.....then it is an entirely different experience. Then it just tastes naff and is a soggy, wet, crap excuse for a pizza!!! To do it any justice you do need to cook it in the oven!!!
***INGREDIENT & NUTRITIONAL INFO***
OK....so this is the bit that may let the pizza down....but then saying that it must be near enough impossible to find a tasty healthy pizza! I'm not going to bore you with a full list of ingredients, just the more relevant info....there are 3 cheeses...mozzarella, Edam and Emmental etc..... - there are no artificial colours - no artificial flavours - no hydrogenated fats - contains milk and gluten - suitable for vegetarians
As for the nutritional aspect (HA! What nutrition!) Per pizza - Calories 454kcal (Oh MY GOD i eat 2 of these at once!!) - Protein 21.8g - Carbohydrates 49.1g - Fat 18.9g - Fat (saturates) 10.4g - Fibre 3g - Salt 1.8g
There you have it....officially unhealthy!!!
***WOULD I RECOMMEND***
Yes, if you want a tasty, easy meal and a big fat NO if you are on a diet, hate eating unhealthily, or if you do have even the slightest bit of respect for your body!! I on the other hand eat like a pig.....one day it will all catch up with me i swear!! I do try though, salad goes lovely with these! Ha a plate of good and evil!! They can also be very cheap, with offers being on most of the time at various store. Tescos quite often sell them for £1 a box, which makes it very good value for money, although at the moment they are 2 for £3. Normal price, you can expect to pay £1.60 ish for them!
Advantages: Tastes gorgeous, nice crispy base, loads of cheese Disadvantages: Very fattening, do not cook very well in microwave
...Pizza's at the moment and Chicago Town Cheese Deep Pan Pizzas are one of my favourites.
Packaging
These pizzas come in a normal cardboard box which is primarily red with a picture of the pizza on the front (which looks very appealing). The Chicago Town logo is written across the front and underneath that is written Deep Dish Triple Cheese Pizza.
Price
I buy these pizza from Tesco where they normally cost £1.65 for a box of two. At the moment ... ...box which is excellent - my freezer is now full of them!
The Pizza
The thing I like about these pizza's, is that they are mini size so could make do as a snack - although admittedly, I do tend to eat both of them at the same time because I'm a pig! The pizzas are probably about 5 inches across (at a guess) and each packet contains two mini pizzas.
How To Cook.
These pizzas can actually be cooked in two different ways. Personally I prefer to cook ...

Advantages: Microwavable in 3 minutes, good size for children Disadvantages: Soggy, funny tasting
...i thought i would buy Chicago Town's 2 Deep Dish Ham & Mushroom Microwave Pizzas, being Microwavable and quite small i thought they would be ideal for my kids and they were on offer as buy one get one free, which was ideal as i have four kids.
As i say they were on offer in my Iceland but the usual price is £1.99 per box of 2 pizzas. I think they are generally around this price in all stores and can be found in most stores with freezer departments.
... ...blue in colour and has Chicago Town written on it in bold letters on top of a picture, which i imagine is supposed to be Chicago. There is also a picture of one of the pizzas on the front of the box and information on how to cook and store on the back as well as ingredients and nutritional information.
The pizzas themselves are rather small but you can tell this from the size of the packaging and was one of the reasons i bought them, as they would ...

Advantages: really good tasting Disadvantages: extra topping a must
...you want to know about Chicago Town Triple Cheese Pizza’s that is.
I quite like pizza’s y’know, but being vegetarian a good pizza, for me, is hard to come by, sure you get a cheese/cheese and tomato pizza, or a triple cheese, but what kind of pizza is that, boring I call it and not much of a vegetarian option, so I don’t buy them, well I never used too. My mum gave me some pizza’s - she’d bought some and didn’t like them, so she asked me if I wanted ... ...I thought, I gave them a try.
~~Chicago Town Triple Cheese Pizza’s~~
These are about the size of a CD, slightly larger perhaps, and come in packs of two (sometimes four for the price of two). They are a deep dish base and by the look of the back of the pack you can get six different flavours. They cost £ 2.99 (ish - I have been meaning to keep a receipt when I’ve bought them but have failed to do so), and can be bought from most supermarkets. There ...

Advantages: Cook in three minutes Disadvantages: Not possible to cook two together, average taste
...very enticing image, with the Chicago Town logo looking menacingly at you from the left side of the box.
Setting the microwave on the highest setting for three minutes, I put the first pizza in, using the thoughtfully-provided individual cardboard tray to save on washing up later. Having established in a previous op that one pizza of this size will not satisfy the appetite, I am cautious when hearing I will have to cook them separately. The microwave ... ...re-acquainted with an old friend. Oh dear. The topping has spilled over the sides of the tray. Looks like that washing up will have to be done after all. To add to my disappointment, since the microwave base plate wasn’t too clean, all the topping that has oozed onto it will have to go to waste.
Now the pizza looks quite ridiculous. A baked bean sauce colour of orange all over, except a tiny yellow patch in the middle, it isn’t looking ...

Advantages: Yummy, quick, so easy to make Disadvantages: Smells like plastic when cooking, the fat content (arrgh!)
...reading this has ever tried Chicago Town Triple Cheese Deep Dish Pizzas, but they are probably one of the greatest pizza inventions ever. Simply put, your pizza is ready in 3 minutes flat – and it’s microwaveable!
Since my dorm only HAS a microwave, and no oven whatsoever, I was struggling to find a pizza that doesn’t require an oven to cook it. It’s actually more difficult than you would imagine. Well, finally, I found one in the frozen food section ... ...wide, and 340 grams. The Chicago Town logo is to the left of the box (basically a bunch of buildings that look more like grey carrot sticks), and below that it says Triple Cheese 2 Deep Dish Pizzas, Microwave in 3 Minutes or Cook in the Oven. To the right is a simple picture of two golden, cheesy pizzas, one of which is breaking apart to show how the cheese stretches ever-so temptingly. This box of two pizzas costs a little more than £2, which means ...

Most of my buddies here on Ciao should know by now that I really do love my food and in particular Pizza.
Also, being a lazy so and so I love my microwave, when my other half isn?t here to cook me up a feast, I rely on my tiny nuclear buddy to warm up my grub.
One small snag though, you can?t generally cook pizza in a microwave, well you can with a ChicagoTownDeeppanpizza.
They are available in a variety of flavors, Pepperoni, Ham and Pineapple, Triple cheese, BBQ Chicken, Ham and Mushroom and new Hot and spicy. This opinion will be about one flavor, my favorite, Pepperoni DROOL!
Here are my findings:
~~~~~~WHAT ARE THEY?~~~~~~
ChicagoTowndeeppanpizza?s are small pastry cups spread with a spicy tomato sauce, they are then topped generously with cheese and whatever topping you have chosen. They are more like ...
