Product Fail- Your Last One? Every once in a while something you buy is just a big disappointment. I was going to swing by Jet's and get a small four corner pizza ,but saw this Buddy's brand, at the store. I was already tired, and ready to get home so I grabbed one of these. Do Not Buy!! There was nothing Italian about it. In fact, I swear it had some cheddar cheese on it. The crust was tasteless, and there was a minuscule amount of pepperoni and not nearly enough sauce (I added a few sliced green olives. I like those on a small pizza like this for a little punch of flavor even that didn't help.!.) For $7, I expected better, as a Motor City pizza is full sized, very good, and only $8. What was the last product that you bought, that you really wish you had not

LittleTexas : That does not look appetizing.
I'd take them up of their guarantee on the box. Get your money back. Then do a review on the product.
It's why I don't buy off brand things.
beadweaver : not really an off brand, I did my due diligence. Buddy's is a Very popular pizza in Detroit, and well received there. Lots of great reviews. But...some products that do well in a store, do Not make it, as a Frozen item. Case in point is the frozen Texas Roadhouse rolls. They are Nothing like the rolls AT the restaurant, and are an epic fail in taste and texture. We tried them last Christmas, and I was So glad I had also bought the Sister Schubert round pan rolls, we Usually buy for dinners. :0 Companies like this will not send you a refund check, but a coupon for Another of their product. Nope

LittleTexas : I literally saw that the other day at HEB. I bought their brand of a thin crust cheese. It was $4 something with a $1 off coupon off. That coupled with my discount made it super cheap. I added ham before cooking...meh. The red sauce was kind of sweet which doesn't suit my palate.
LittleTexas : A few years ago I was craving ravello's pizza from Old Forge pa. I can get a Lou Malinati (?) Delivered from Chicago in 24 hours. So I called and asked to have a red and a white pizza sent. They don't do that. I asked if I could buy the ingredients and put it together. The shipping was like $75 on top of the pizzas. A big no. I called a few others and also a nope.
I sure ate a ton while visiting though, lol.
Ya know, I haven't bought a Dolly cake mix either. It's the use of her name and just plain cake mix.
I walk through the grocery store and mostly stay on the perimeter. I'll run down for coffee, pasta, sugar but not too much processed foods. I don't know who eats that crap. I don't even go down the chips and cookie aisles.
LittleTexas: I have not bought a frozen pizza in years they use to be good but they changed something

LittleTexas : I've bought some disappointing frozen pizzas in the past, so I don't often trust any of them anymore. The one that hasn't disappointed us yet is the Screaming Sicilian brand and my DS loves the Holy Pepperoni (easy, quick snack he can heat up when I'm not home), you can get them at both Kroger and HEB.
beadweaver: love Dolly, but bought some chocolate pie last year that was $8 took it to work, and, luckily, tried a bit, as I sliced it. Awful, and bad aftertaste! Jumped through all of their hoops and they ended up sending me one five dollar coupon for another one of their products which is the last thing that I wanted! You're right, their cake mixes are just regular DH cake mixes with her image on the front.
There was nothing Italian about it.
LittleTexas : the box doesn't say Italian on it and clearly is a Detroit style. 
not really an off brand, I did my due diligence. Buddy's is a Very popular pizza in Detroit, and well received there. Lots of great reviews.
LittleTexas : Reputable food brands and restaurant names don't necessarily translate into good food when they try to enter the frozen food market. Luby's comes to mind. Also some of the celebrity chefs try doing the same and the end product is complete junk.
CatalinaD: the Motor City pizza, found at Kroger and WMart is so good! Bakes in its' own pan, feeds 4 or more, and only a Dollar more than this awful mess. As an Italian, I am Embarrassed by what they used as sauce :9
LittleTexas : Lol sauce or gravy? It will always be sauce to me. I can still see myself sitting on my grandma's counter next to the stove. She would put the spices in my hand and tell me to dump it in. Later years, standing on a chair next to her. I am seriously picky about my Italian food to this day, I make my grandma's sauce. It always has chicken, pork, meatballs, and sausage. Sweet and hot. I can't make less than 8 liters at a time. Just did a freezer inventory for the month. I'm down to one, lol you know what time of year it is. I'll make enough to last till January.

LittleTexas : I typically don't try new things. This is why I like the samples at HEB. Taste it if good buy it.
LittleTexas : Trader Joe's had a seasonal one that Detroit Style. It was $7.99 and super thick and covered with the topping. It was really good.
