I don't have a Kroger grocery store nearby anymore, but when I did, their take-n-bake was pretty darn tasty. You could watch the crust rise to a nice chewy texture.
Was it as good as the local pizza shop? Nah, but it was convenient and darn good for the price.

Don't knock these, which can be really tasty if you have a toaster or regular oven: https://www.stouffers.com/en/our-dishes/classics/for-one/deluxe-french-bread-pizza

My siblings and I made white bread and ketchup sandwiches at our Grandfather's apartment when his fridge was empty.

and if you can't get the Stouffers, ALDIs 'Mama Cozi' are practically identical!
btw, you might find the Stouffers on sale at Food Lion, 3 for $5.

The worst compliment I get on the road is "This is really good. Just like Pizza Hut".
This was written by PizzaGod, but not meaning to disagree with him. But in a few places that statement can/could still be a compliment. But it will be an individual franchise operator still cooking the pizzas right, not one of the quick outlets Yum! has put out there.
One place that was still making it right was up in Maine near where my ex and my sons were living. Owner saw to it that he had good pizza cooks, that the dough and ingredients were handled right, and so on. The pizzas came out like they used to decades ago across the Pizza Hut chain. Things might have changed in the 10 years since I was last there with sons, but I hear of the isolated shop still putting out good pizza.
On the other hand, the 'Hut that used to operate about half an hour away let themselves go until they didn't;y make money, had health code citations, and eventually shut down. This in a college town, they failed to make money selling pizza.
As for the small outlets as opposed to Pizza Hut restaurants, I have never had one that got above mediocre.

These threads always make me glad that I live in the city, where an abundant choice is at my fingers (and my wallet).
Have to agree with PizzaGod, there's no comparison to good pizza.

Like I said, I'm not a pizza fan but at least we live in a place where all the NY pizza shop owners come to retire (then they get bored and open a place here). It's the same with barbers - the old guy retires moves here and goes back to cutting hair for a pasttime.
That said, give me a bowl of Menudo, yuca on the side, a glass of horchata, and I'm happy.
