DC161 Critique: Private Selection Frozen Pizza

<p>Larry Rusinsky joins Tim Keirnan for a new kind of episode: critiquing  the user experience of food. Because the UX of food is so very subjective based on genetics, culture experiences, individual preferences, and a potential inconsistency of "production" for a particular dish, frozen foods are at least somewhat consistent in their production.<br /> Our critique is of Kroger's house brand Private Selection Artisan Stone Fired Pizza in the Cuban-Inspired Ham & Swiss flavor.<br /> We also ate a "control pizza" to attempt to create a reference point to describe the test pizza and which listers can relate to. The "fixed variable" as our control is a Newman's Own Thin & Crispy Crust Supreme Pizza. This is a nationally distributed brand in the USA.<br /> Larry and Tim found that Private Selection frozen pizza is a very fresh-tasting and interestingly flavored, at least in the Cuban-Inspired Ham & Swiss flavor. Larry says the other flavors are all worth trying. Both of us agreed that the value of these frozen pizzas is very good.<br /> Tim concludes the episode with a brief history of the invention of frozen food.</p> <p>This article explains the team that "designs" Kroger house brand items (including foods):<br /> <a href="https://storebrands.com/crowning-kroger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://storebrands.com/crowning-kroger</a></p> <p>This article lists some of the author's favorite Kroger house brand foods:<br /> <a href="https://www.allrecipes.com/article/kroger-brands-review/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.allrecipes.com/article/kroger-brands-review/</a></p>
