But I do think there's room for improvement. The bread is good. The main complaint I see is that there's not much filling in them and I agree somewhat. If they raised the price by $1 and put 10-15% more stuff in them, I think that would be better and they would still be affordable.
The finished pizza looks like this.
Got some nice baked side action here.
I bought one of these for $7.99 Friday night and have been looking forward to trying it. I've seen some complaints about the size, but because the crust is so thick, it's very filling. I cut mine onto 6 pieces, and only ate 2 and I'm full. I'm a light eater, but I think most people would be quite satisfied with 3 slices. The pizza filled the pan pretty well, so I got some nice crispy side action, on all 4 sides, which I appreciate. The pepperoni was decent and I got quite a few, but of course, I had to doctor it a bit and add onions and olives. The sauce and cheese don't stand out, but they taste good and there is enough of both. The crust is a tad bit too soft, dense, and doughy for my taste though. If anything it seems a bit too much like standard white bread dough made into a pizza crust and doesn't have much flavor. I'd prefer an airier, firmer, more flavorful ciabatta-like crust that has some nice air holes in it for a better texture. In all, a pretty decent, filling pizza, only let down slightly by the crust. Final score: 7.5 /10.
This is one of my standard favorites, but there were a couple minor issues this time. I had to use a miscut piece of leftover bread, so that's why it's in two halves. The Rao's pesto isn't quite as good as I was hoping it would be. Classico is better IMHO. Also, I usually make this sandwich with rye, but I happened to have a partial Walmart bakery sourdough loaf left over from my salad stuffer experiment, so I used that. I prefer the rye. Here's a link to my salad stuffer if you want to check that out.

I bought a couple of these at Grocery Outlet for around $4. They consist mainly of tortilla strips, some fragments of chicken, and a sauce that tastes like slightly watered down tomato paste and little else. While perfectly edible, I really don't recommend this, it just isn't very good. I only ate the second one to get rid of it.
Dressing and pickle brine added!
To heck with that overpriced bread place. I made my own salad stuffer, with deli turkey, turkey bacon, lettuce, onions, Swiss, and a loaf of sourdough from Walmart. It actually turned out really good. I totally would make this again. Only downside is that it was kind of a lot of work. I saved the bread I removed. I'll use it for...something...
Both frozen, with my special ranch and pickle tarter sauce.
Canned chili, diced onions and jalapenos from a jar, two slices of pre-sliced cheddar.
