Jeno's Pizza
Because I am not a machine, here is another reader submission, this time from Razor512:
"For $1.69 I picked up a box of Jeno’s pizza (total waste of money). This pizza if probably one of the blandest pizzas I have ever tasted. The crust is very thin, it looks thick due to it mostly being hollow on the inside. There is very little cheese and the sauce has very little taste and there is very little sauce (it the sauce it pretty much a part of the crust it is like the factory spilled sauce on the pizza and then tried to clean it all off leaving behind only the stain of sauce that used to be there). Overall for taste, I give it a 1 out of 5 and for look, I give it a 1 out of 5 also."
Thanks, Razor512. (I especially enjoyed the phrase "stain of sauce.")

$1.69?! Where do you buy your food. They only cost $0.77 here in AL.

Also, check the ingredients label. I've noticed on some pizzas like that, it's not actually anything that I'd call "cheese" in the list... but having grown up on things like this I have a taste for them and don't mind eating them, even though they don't quite taste like a real pizza.

Blasphemy.
These pizzas are delicious...and worth exactly what you pay for them.

I always call those "credit card pizzas" - the taste and thickness - uncanny.

gotta say the picture is pretty damn close to the box. i guess the cheese could be whiter to match, but everyone knows a good pizza is one where the cheese and sauce melt together and neither keeps it's color. as for taste, for a $1.69 it's great. i grew up on these and love them, especially the crust. they're kind of like good bad movies. if you go in with high expectations you'll hate them, if you go in expecting it to suck you'll enjoy it. just think of them as pizza flavoured crackers and you'll dig em.

The main problem is for much is cost, you get very little for your money and even worst, it barely had a taste. While it is not the worst pizza I have tasted, it is one of the blandest ones. (if you want the worst pizza, check out the walmart value pizza crap, I would buy one if they still sell it, to take a picture of, but me and my wallet is scared because of how much of a bad experience I had with it a while back) (sadly i wasted my money before the article on it was posted on consumerist http://consumerist.com/257595/walmarts-great-va... )
Sry if i was a little harsh in the review, I just hate getting ripped off, for the price I paid for it, I could have gotten a bigger slice (in terms of weight in grams) that taste much better from a local pizza shop for $1.50 if i hadn't been lazy that dat and just walked the extra 3 blocks to the pizza shop)
PS sry for the errors in the post
I gave it a 1 out of 5 for the taste because it didn't really have any
and for the look, even though it had some cheese, the lack of pizza sauce knocked it down a point or two.
While it is ok to eat, for the money I could have gotten something much better and compared to actual good pizza (which is around the same or more grams and cheaper at $1.50, for me this pizza was a really bad buy.
here is a pic of the price tag

Not to mention that little pizza contains 8 grams of trans fat.

First off, the pizza is excellent for the price of $1 which is what is should cost. And don’t just get the cheese, cheese pizza is always more bland than any other toppings. $1 is the cost of a candy bar. You people paying 1.50 and higher are getting jipped by the store. If you buy it at a chain grocery store and not a gas station it shouldn't be that expensive. You buy one slice of pizza(equal in size) in a restaurant for $2-3. Jeno’s is filling and the perfect size for no leftovers. If you’re super hungry get 2. $2 is still cheaper than a $4 private label pizza brand found in stores. Other similar brands (Totino's and Smart Choice) have the soft soggy crust but I like the crispy much better.
