So, the other day I was really craving
0:01
some pizza, but I didn't want to make
0:04
it. Didn't want to order it and wait for
0:06
the delivery and definitely too lazy to
0:08
go pick it up. So, I made a quick one at
0:12
home in the air fryer with some pita
0:14
bread, some pepperoni that I had in the
0:16
freezer, and some patada.
0:22
course, that was cheese. But that got me
0:24
thinking because of how well it turned
0:26
out. Does it compare well with the most
0:32
thin crust pepperoni pizza, at least in
0:34
Canada and the US? So, what I found is
0:37
this restaurante brand over here is
0:40
available in both Canada and the US. So,
0:44
we're going to kind of test it out to
0:46
see if this pizza turns out as good as
0:49
that picture and does it compare with
0:52
the pa pizza that I've been smashing all
0:55
of last week. Now, of course, there's
0:58
some prep needed for the pa pizza. I'll
1:02
show you my quick no cook sauce, but you
1:04
can check out some more info about it
1:06
linked down below. Now, the best part
1:08
about this pa pizza is how quickly it
1:10
comes together. Although I was using the
1:12
air fryer just to keep it fair for that
1:16
frozen pizza that I cannot fit
1:18
physically in the air fryer basket. I'm
1:20
going to make it in the oven. But still,
1:24
the flavor itself, I just thought it was
1:26
a throwaway thing cuz I was just craving
1:29
those flavors. But it just really
1:31
surprised me. Now the big thing is that
1:33
the homemade pita pizza won't have a
1:38
of ingredients behind it. So, in this
1:40
raw sauce here, I just put some patada,
1:43
some garlic powder, some chili flakes,
1:45
olive oil, salt, and that's it. You can
1:49
also put some fresh garlic if you really
1:51
want, but if you're in a rush, this will
1:54
do just fine. I guess another big thing
1:56
is while this frozen pizza is about $7,
2:00
this pa, a whole pack of it with maybe
2:04
like eight or 10 pas is like $3, right?
2:09
It's kind of crazy if the pa can be
2:13
quickly put together, turn thrown into
2:15
pepperoni pizza. I know it's not pizza
2:18
dough, but can you call frozen pizza
2:21
dough pizza dough either? I don't think
2:27
Now, the prep for this, it's super
2:30
simple. Take it out of the packaging.
2:31
So, this is going to go in the oven at
2:35
425 F right in the middle rack.
2:44
Now, of course, the difference is most
2:46
likely the frozen one is made with white
2:49
flour while this is enriched wheat
2:52
flour. But surprisingly, the white
2:54
pizzas do taste kind of like your fast
2:59
food style thin crust pizzas. Just
3:02
finishing it off with a couple of slices
3:04
of pepperoni. And there it goes inside
3:07
the oven to bake next to the frozen
3:11
pizza. As the pizzas are baking, I kind
3:13
of realize why I think the frozen pizza
3:15
also kind of tastes like that pita one
3:17
that I made. is because that also the
3:20
restaurant the pizza has made with
3:23
enriched wheat flour just like the pa.
3:25
So the flavor in the crust is going to
3:28
be very similar. So it's been about 14
3:30
minutes and this is the frozen pizza. I
3:34
do want to get some more color on the pa
3:42
And here's the pa pizza. And while this
3:45
did take about 5 to 6 minutes just
3:48
baking in the oven and taking into
3:50
account the time to preheat in the air
3:52
fryer, this cooks in under 5 minutes in
3:56
just broil mode. I guess the first thing
4:00
that I noticed in the frozen pizza is
4:02
that the cheese, the amount of cheese
4:04
that's on here is kind of very, very
4:06
thin. Maybe because it's meant to be a
4:09
lighter version of a pizza that's I
4:13
guess a bit healthier.
4:15
But I'll put the macros for both of
4:18
these on the screen and you be the judge
4:26
And I guess coming to the pa one, you
4:30
can kind of already tell that the
4:32
cheesiness factor is kind of on point. I
4:36
can just take a look at this one. Now,
4:39
remember, this is all about convenience.
4:42
What's the most convenient, quickest,
4:44
cheapest, healthiest way to get some
4:47
pizza when that craving hits? When you
4:49
want to just kick back from work, have a
4:53
pizza, and just chill. Wouldn't you want
4:55
a tastier pizza that's better on your
5:00
Yeah. Like a modest amount of texture.
5:03
The sauce for me is a bit overpowered
5:05
with oregano. I usually like my sauce a
5:08
bit more simple and it's just okay. It's
5:13
Like nothing groundbreaking about a
5:15
frozen pizza. Right when we come to the
5:17
pa one and of course it's a pa. Don't
5:19
forget as I flip to show you the other
5:24
Okay. The crustiness in the middle is
5:28
not as prominent as the frozen pizza.
5:34
But there's more flavor in the actual
5:36
bread. Let's look at the back of it,
5:40
And I guess that's what I've been liking
5:42
a lot about these pita pizzas. You get a
5:45
lot of flavor from the bread. It cooks
5:48
almost instantly, super cheap. You get
5:50
the crustiness from the edges as they
5:52
crispen up in the oven, and it has the
5:55
same results as it did in the air fryer.
5:57
And ever since doing the video comparing
5:59
my homemade air fryer fries with
6:01
McDonald's and pizza pizza and when I
6:04
started having these pita pizzas, I had
6:05
this itch to compare it with the most
6:09
convenient way people usually have
6:12
pizza. Yes, it's either delivery.
6:15
There's no way a pa pizza compares with
6:18
delivery. But if you're looking for
6:21
pizza that's quick to put together and
6:24
it's super cheap just like this one is
6:27
right now, then it actually may be a
6:30
good alternative. It definitely beats in
6:32
my books the frozen pizza. The flavor,
6:36
the cheesiness, the freshness alone is
6:39
worth it. It's just your generic frozen
6:42
pizza. And while both these pizzas have
6:44
been sitting for some time,
6:48
the homemade one, the pa one, it just
6:51
still looks much much
6:56
than any slice that I see for the frozen
7:00
pizza. Now, I'm not sure what's next
7:03
after this one. I just had this itch to
7:05
test the pita pizza with these frozen
7:08
ones. If there's another brand that you
7:11
are more hot about, maybe a fast food
7:14
brand that I can compare with, then let
7:16
me know. And if you want more of this,
