Hi, folks. Welcome to Fropes.com, the go-to place for frozen pizza reviews! You've undoubtedly got questions; here's what I think they are and what I know I'd answer.
Q- Who the heck are you?
A- I'm David Rudden, founder and editor of Fropes.com. Good to meetchya.
Q- What the heck does "fropes" mean?
A- A "Frope"
is what I like to call a frozen pizza. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one
who refers to them as such. You should start doing it--you don't even
have to credit me!
Q- Okay... why frozen pizza reviews? They all taste like crap, dude.
A-
Au contraire. You're comparing to your local pizzeria. Of course a food
item that's been packaged weeks ago and frozen solid's not gonna
compare to something tossed together on the spot by a guy who knows his
stuff. I look to judge the fropes based on their own merit.
Q- What makes you the freakin' authority on frozen pizzas?
A- I have eaten a lot of them. Between those old frope commercials (What do you want on your Tombstone?) and movie cameos (Mama Celeste in Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead), I've got frope knowledge to burn. Also, I've written my share of non-frope reviews for CNET, Advanced Media Network, and New York Newsday.
Q- I'm intrigued. How does a frope review work?
A-
Simple. Two or more people cook a pizza and one of them reports the
experience. What else did they eat? Talk about? Most importantly--how
was the pizza? Of course, the event is photographically documented as
well. For the time being, I will always be one of them, with frope
partners to be determined. If you think you'd like to enter the
exciting world of frozen pizza reviews, drop me a line at

Q- Yawn... anything else you wanna add?
A- Yup. I
have to thank those who inspired me. Even though it's pretty much
dormant now, I use to really enjoy cereal review website The Empty Bowl--an authority on food that I actually ate! "Chris' Lunchbox", the food column in the Long Island Press
proved to me that food reviews needn't be about unaffordable
restaurants. On a more personal level, I have to thank one Ms. Corinne
Schulze. Corinne, thanks for not laughing in my face when I mentioned
my crazy idea. Thanks for then actually getting said crazy idea off the
ground with a great design and greater disposition as well as agreeing
to be my first partner. That's about it. Enjoy!
I think your information was very helpful,because our family was considering adding a type of frozen pizza to our store menu.Your info led me to believe though that offering any cooked frozen pizza to our customers would not be satisfactory.
Thanks
