I often have frozen pizza for dinner. It's not a balanced meal, but it's easy, and tasty. I get home from work late (seldom much before 22:00), and I'm hungry and not in the mood to cook. (And I'm not done with work when I get home, so I don't have time to cook until much later.)
Tonight I had a Safeway Signature SELECT Garlic Chicken Alfredo pizza. It's good, but it doesn't go far. I cut it into 8 slices, and I was taking them in pairs, and I would finish a slice and reach for the next and realize that was the 2nd slice, but it didn't feel like I'd eaten enough for it to have been 2 slices; I hadn't even noticed eating the first. Half the pizza was gone, and then 3/4, and I was still hungry. No point in saving the last quarter for later.
I went back to the box. 17.1oz/494gr. I looked in the recycling for another box. Three Meat pizza, same SELECT brand - 31.3oz/887gr. No wonder that pizza didn't go far. The nutrition label says the chicken pizza was 4 servings, and the 3-meat was 6. (I'd call them 1 and (barely) 2, myself.) I'd asked anniemal to get the Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza, which I think outweighs the 3-meat. (They're all the same price.) I can make 2 dinners out of the CBR or the 3-meat.
The Garlic Chicken Alfredo (with mozzarella and asiago cheeses and carmelized onions) is a yummy pizza, but at half the weight it's effectively twice the price. (Yes, unit pricing is your friend - except when stores don't use the same units for similar products, but that's another gripe/rant.) I suspect this is another instance of Anniemal trying to please me by doing something other than what I'd asked. Or maybe she just saw "chicken" and didn't realize it was a different chicken pizza.
California Pizza Kitchen BBQ Chicken pizza: 14.7oz/418gr, 3 servings. Another pizza I've asked her not to get. Also, tasty (red onions, cilantro (ugh!), hickory-smoked gouda, mozzarella, and BBQ sauce), but again, it doesn't go far. Even when it's on sale it's still a lightweight.
