The personal flatbread melts are a new addition to microwavable pizza. As you can guess, I really like pizza and since I can’t really cook the microwave’s one of my best friends in the kitchen. There’s always 2 main problems with microwaving pizzas is temperature control and messiness. I hate being attacked by molten cheese!
There’s different cooking times depending on what wattage the microwave is. I didn’t feel like pulling out my microwave to check what it uses but I know it keeps hot so I started off with the shortest cooking time, and my cheese was all good and brown 15 seconds early so it cooked for 2:30. It was fun to watch because the middle of the pizza puffed up 2-3 inches tall while cooking but only 2 little pieces of topping fell off.
The directions tell you to turn it over into a triangle shape, and the toppings stayed in place again. The bread felt thick and was chewy in a satisfying way, and the parmesan tasted stronger then the chicken. And when eating it, the whole thing stayed together and didn’t fall out the bottom.
There’s no way a hot pocket could stand up to these flatbreads!

I love pizza, but not how long it takes it to cook. On the other hand you take your chances when trying to make the microwave as good as the oven. The Digiorno For One pizzas say on the box that it’s microwavable so I put it to the test. I used the max cooking time on the box, 5 mins because I like crispy pizza.
I’m happy to say this pizza beats out a lot of other microwave dishes. The crust wasn’t crispy but it wasn’t soggy and the pepperonis were crispy. The toppings were in place and hadn’t all fallen off in transit. The garlic crust was lightly flavored but the pizza sauce was well seasoned.
In this case, the microwave didn’t let me down! Between the thick crust and toppings, that pizza could actually be a whole meal from the microwave.

My family has been going to Fuzzy’s Pizza & Cafe in Houston for as long as I can remember. We used to go there for big family gatherings – it’s noisy and very casual – a great place for kids. I remember the pizza slices being huge, with a ton of melted cheese and liberally applied greasy pepperoni – it was GREAT! I went to college and moved out of the city, but the memory of Fuzzy’s as the best pizza remained fresh in my memory. I returned for the first time in about 5 years and a lot has changed. The restaurant has doubled in size, they pizza’s more expensive, and they are constantly packed. All that aside – it’s still the best pizza in Houston. The slices aren’t quite as big as I remember them being – but then again, I have grown a bit.
Fuzzy’s makes their sauce and dough from scratch and they use only the freshest ingredients. They’re busy every night so go early for the best service. Speaking of which: I’ve read a lot of complaints of poor quality in food or service. I’ve been several times since my visit to the new Fuzzy’s and I’ve never had anything but the best food. Sometimes the service is weak, but that’s to be expected when a restraint that seats 120 people has 130 people in it and their also processing to-go orders.
Fuzzy’s is also a bit more expensive than the regular Papa Hut-ino’s chain pizza. A large 1 – topping will run you $17 while their large specialty pizza’s run about $23.50. Conveniently, you can also order pizza by the slice for $2.25 + .25 for each standard topping. They offer more than pizza too (but really – who goes to Fuzzy’s and doesn’t order pizza?!) catering to the pasta and hot and cold sandwich crowd as well. In my opinion (and I guess that’s what you’re reading this for) the pizza is well worth the price. I hit up Fuzzy’s every time I’m in town.
Must order: Large New York style Pepperoni pizza on wheat crust. A large pie will feed 3 adults easily. Add a large Greek salad (loaded with kalamata olives, tomatoes, and feta cheese) and you can make it a meal for 5 pretty easily.

What should you do when it’s snowing and the winds are gusting up to 30 mph in Texas? Drive out and get some pizza! We picked this bad boy up at Kroger during just such a storm and barely made it back home with our lives! lol
I love garlic and I love pizza so this made perfect sense. The cheeses are asiago, mozzarella, parmesan and romano. The hard cheeses had a strong, robust flavor that had a duel with the garlic in my mouth. Who won? The herbs that are sprinkled on the crust and had also migrated to the whole underside of the pizza. Normally when stuff shifts on a frozen pizza it screws the pizza up, but this time the combination herbs and garlic allowed me to enjoy the cheese without wishing there was meat all over it.
A snow storm in Texas may sound like a lie but it isn’t and neither is the pizza. Unfortunately, the snow didn’t stay on the ground

Check out the sign I saw today while driving by a Cici’s Pizza:
It made me do a double-take and I had to go back and snap a pic for you guys! And it finally answers the age long question: what do Cici’s Pizza and Justin Timberlake have in common? Enjoy!
