We noted it was not cooked and asked what the reason was. The counter person said they "Did not cook the Pizza but only made it" That was a first!!

This place sounds similar to Papa Murphy's Take N Bake Pizza. Papa Murphy's has a couple of locations in my hometown of Dubuque, IA which my dad likes to purchase pizza from and then take it home and bake it. The closest Papa Murphy's to The Villages is in Mt. Dora. Actually The Villages might be a good location for a person to open a Papa Murphy's store.

I also like Screaming Sicilian and California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizzas.

We agree Home Run Inn is the best we have found.

Home Run Inn pizza is the best pizza in The Villages.

We get the plain cheese version of this and put our own green pepper on. It's $5.95 at Walmart.



For thin pizza, we like this one, also $5.95 at Walmart, and we get cheese and again put on our own green pepper.



I've never been to a Papa Murphy's, but a search shows a thread from 2016 that a location was suppose to open in Spanish Springs. Apparently it has never materialized. There was a unit in Ocala that closed in 2016, and a another one in Belleview, but the company's website doesn't list it, and on Yelp there is a scathing review from April that states the owner was very rude and the place was for sale, photo below. Those who live in Belleview might know more.

Holy mushroom, Batman!

I’ve got a lot of tasting to do!

When we go to Costco, we buy 3 or 4 of their pizza's, cheese, pepperoni, vegetable, what ever they have, take them home and cut in half and freeze them. They are really big so half is plenty. Then when we want pizza, take them out, add peppers and tomatoes, onions, cheese, any other things we want and bake them on a pizza stone.

Not as good as pizza in NY or Boston, but better then most any place around here. The best take out or eat in near the Villages is Big Bob's in Okalawaha.

Home Run is the best we have found anywhere!

Tumb stone is great. We doctor them up

I second Palermos. But then I'm a big fan of Napoli style thin crust pizza which Palermo's is.

[jdsl1998]

another fan of Digiorno pizza Pizzeria, we get the cheese, put on toppings and cook as directed...then turn to broil for exactly one minute.

I have had Papa Murphy's pizza several times while visiting my dad in Iowa. It's pretty good pizza. There was one location not far from me in the N.W. suburbs of Chicago that I patronized a few times, but it only lasted about 2 years, then closed. The closest Papa Murphy's to me now is about 28 miles, too far to drive.

Another frozen pizza that is pretty good, but not quite traditional pizza, is Stouffer's French bread pizza.

I know from reading this thread, I'm now going to have to try Home Run Inn Pizza since it's Chicago style. I had Chicago style today at a restaurant and loved it. Their website has it available at Publix, Winn Dixie and Walgreens, not at Walmart. I know where I'm stopping Monday.

I also vote for Palermos, but Sicilian model. I cut the pepperoni in quarters as to spread it around so every slice gets it's fair share. Then I add extra mozzarella cheese, maybe some chopped green pepper and top with thin slices of tomato. Bellissimo!
Available at Publix. Never pay full price, wait for their 2 for the price of 1.

There is a Papa Murphy's in Belleview. I talked to the owner and she told me that she originally planned to open her store in Spanish Springs but ran into problems leasing a location within The Villages.

If you buy the naan bread from WD or stock up when it's BYGO you are more then halfway there. Get a fancy brand of canned chopped tomatoes and some mozzarella. Put a little olive oil on top, basil and oregano. [i like garlic and anchovies] It cooks quickly.
