Red Baron 4-Cheese Pizza

Looks: I still can't get these pizzas to brown properly, even after following different advice I've gotten from readers: "Move it under the broiler"; "don't preheat the oven"; "use a blow-torch." None of it works. 4 out of 5

Taste: There is a definite quality scale of frozen pizzas: it starts with your Lunchables mini pizzas (ketchup and bread), then you have your Jack's/Jeno's/Totino's, then up on the high end, you have your Digiorno's and Freschettas - the "pizzeria-style" pizzas (if you believe their commercials). I would place this Red Baron above Digiorno, but below Freschetta. The cheese is thick, the sauce is zesty, and the crust is nice and chewy, but not as nice as Freschetta's. This pizza has a good collection of herbs mixed in the cheese as well, and I think that is what really sets it apart from the Jack's and Jeno's. 4 out of 5

Red Baron Biscuit-Style Scrambles (Bacon)

Looks: While the food on the box appears as a golden, flaky, biscuit covered in fluffy eggs and melted cheese, the real deal is closer to a molten Pac-Man dead-set on devouring you and anyone you care about. The crust singes around the edges, the cheese doesn't melt evenly, and the bacon cooks much darker than pictured. 3.5 out of 5

Taste: Regardless of how it looks, this thing is delicious - it's like deep-dish pizza had a baby with an Egg McMuffin, and they named it Scrambles. The cheese and bacon are great (of course), and although the egg doesn't really make you think "hey, this tastes like eggs," it doesn't detract from the flavor. There's also a creamy sauce underneath the toppings, and it is most likely made from magic pixie deliciousness dust. My only complaint is that the outer edge of the biscuit gets too hard during cooking. 4.5 out of 5
