DC161 Critique: Private Selection Frozen Pizza

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.
Our critique is of Kroger's house brand Private Selection Artisan
Stone Fired Pizza in the Cuban-Inspired Ham & Swiss
flavor.
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.
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.
Tim concludes the episode with a brief history of the invention
of frozen food.
