Who has the better frozen pizza, U.S. or U.K.?

美國和英國的冷凍披薩誰更好吃？

We're digging in to see who has the best value, how it compares to delivery, and some interesting facts you might not know.

我們將深入調查，看看誰的價值最高，與送貨相比如何，以及一些你可能不知道的有趣事實。

Starting now, in the U.S., it is safe to say

DiGiorno is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, frozen pizza brand.

DiGiorno 即使不是最大的冷凍披薩品牌，也是最大的冷凍披薩品牌之一。

Right here is the Rising Crust Pepperoni version, and it, according to the box, weighs 24.7 ounces or 702 grams.

這裡的是 Rising Crust Pepperoni 版，根據包裝盒上的數據，它重 24.7 盎司或 702 克。

One of the best-selling pizzas in the U.K. is this one.

這款披薩是英國最暢銷的披薩之一。

It's the Goodfellas Classic Crust Pepperoni.

這是 Goodfellas Classic Crust Pepperoni。

According to the packaging, this one weighs 524 grams, although when I measured it uncooked, it actually came to 532.

根據包裝上的資訊，這道菜的重量為 524 克，但當我測量它未煮熟時，實際重量為 532 克。

I want to see how much weight this lost during the cooking process.

我想看看在烹飪過程中它的重量減輕了多少。

After cooking, that's actually only 460 grams.

Get a good look, U.K., can we zoom in there?

看清楚，英國，我們能放大嗎？

This pizza is advertised as being similar to delivery.

這種披薩的宣傳方式類似於外賣。

Every American knows exactly that slogan.

It's a major selling point that the dough of this pizza is supposed to rise and give the texture and appearance of a freshly delivered pizza.

這款披薩的一大賣點就是麵糰會發酵，呈現出新鮮披薩的口感和外觀。

Now, before we started cooking this pizza,

I measured its weight, and it is actually 745 grams frozen, more than advertised in the box.

我測量了它的重量，它的冷凍重量實際上是 745 克，比包裝盒上宣傳的要重。

I have adjusted the scale for the weight of the pizza pan.

我已經根據披薩盤的重量調整了秤。

And once it's cooked, looks like it weighs closer to 690 grams.

煮熟後，看起來重量接近 690 克。

I want to say the box said originally 702, so that loses 12 grams only.

我想說的是，包裝盒上原本寫的是 702，所以只損失了 12 克。

For this one, there was actually no change in the size of the crust when it was cooked.

實際上，這道菜煮熟後，麵皮的大小沒有任何變化。

全長一英寸的麵包皮已擴大一倍。

We do have quite a few brands in the U.K.

that use takeaway on the packaging, takeaway being what we would call a delivery in the U.K.

That said, I don't think many would use the takeaway aspect as their kind of main selling point.

儘管如此，我不認為很多人會把外賣作為主要賣點。

I think most Brits would just get that takeaway and home-cooked pizzas are likely to be different.

我想大多數英國人都會認為，外賣和家常披薩很可能是不同的。

When it comes to frozen pizza in the U.K.,

On the one hand, you have these thin and crispy or stone-baked pizzas.

一方面是薄脆的披薩，另一方面是石烤披薩。

Typically, the thin crust ones will be smaller and maybe a little bit less complicated when it comes to the toppings.

通常情況下，薄皮面包的個頭會小一些，配料可能也沒那麼複雜。

On the other hand, we have these thicker crust, kind of more American-style pizzas.

另一方面，我們的披薩皮比較厚，有點像美式披薩。

The crust can be pan or stuffed, and typically you're expecting a few more toppings and maybe a larger focus on the meat.

麵包皮可以是平底鍋的，也可以是有餡的，一般來說，你會期待更多的配料，也許會更注重肉。

If I wanted a heftier pizza, which I often do,

如果我想吃更大塊的披薩，我也經常這麼做、

I think I would go for one of these kind of loaded, stuffed crust pizzas, like a Chicago Town stuffed crust pepperoni.

我想我會選擇這種滿載餡料的脆皮披薩，就像芝加哥小鎮的香腸脆皮披薩。

On the packaging of this pizza, it says it weighs 645 grams.

這款披薩的包裝上寫著重 645 克。

When I weighed it before cooking, it was actually slightly more, around 670.

我在烹飪前稱了一下，實際上略高一些，大約在 670 左右。

However, now that it's cooked, it's actually only weighing 562 grams.

不過，現在煮熟了，實際重量只有 562 克。

That's still smaller than that pizza in the U.S.

These are unironically one of my favorite foods.

不客氣地說，這是我最喜歡的食物之一。

我有一個非常可愛的貓咪披薩刀。

The only issue is it doesn't really work very well because they're supposed to roll, and this one kind of just doesn't.

唯一的問題是它的效果不是很好，因為它們應該是滾動的，而這個卻不是。

Part of why I love these ones is the stuffed crust isn't cheese, it's actually sauce.

我之所以喜歡這些，部分原因在於餡餅皮不是奶酪，而是醬汁。

People might say, hey, the crusts are dry.

人們可能會說，嘿，麵包皮太乾了。

I think this is just the goat of frozen pizzas.

我覺得這就是冷凍披薩的山羊。

I've never seen a crust stuffed with anything other than cheese, so for real, that looks nasty.

我從未見過用奶酪以外的東西做餡的麵包皮，所以說真的，看起來很噁心。

As you'd expect from a company that claims to be from Chicago, they also sell deep dish pizza.

正如你對一家自稱來自芝加哥的公司所期待的那樣，他們也出售深盤披薩。

As you can see, these are small pizzas, and you get two in a box.

如您所見，這些都是小披薩，一盒有兩個。

Each one of these weighs around 157 grams for a total of 314.

Again, before cooking, they actually came to slightly above the expected weight.

同樣，在烹飪之前，它們的重量實際上略高於預期。

These remind me of birthday parties that I attended while I was growing up.

這讓我想起了成長過程中參加過的生日派對。

You can fit a bunch of them in the oven at once.

一次就能在烤箱裡放進一大堆。

I'm stressed out parents running around dishing out Chicago town deep dishes.

我的父母在芝加哥城裡四處奔波，壓力很大。

I've never been to Chicago, but as far as I can tell, these are pretty authentic deep dish, right, Joe?

我從沒去過芝加哥，但就我所知，這些都是非常正宗的深盤菜，對吧，喬？

And if anyone was wondering, that's not a Chicago or even a US brand.

如果有人想知道，這不是芝加哥品牌，甚至不是美國品牌。

I'm always blown away by the bread ratio on these, because I know typically with a Chicago deep dish, it's more like a pie crust that you then fill with stuff, whereas these are like solid bread, sauce, cheese toppings.

我總是被這些麵包的比例所震驚，因為我知道芝加哥的深盤通常更像是一個餡餅皮，然後再填滿東西，而這些就像是實實在在的麵包、醬汁、奶酪配料。

事實上，它屬於 Dr. Oetker 所有。

Dr. Oetker with their Ristorante line of frozen pizzas,

歐特家博士的 Ristorante 系列冷凍披薩、

I would say are like a direct competitor in the UK to Chicago town.

我想說，在英國，他們就像是芝加哥小鎮的直接競爭對手。

Owning both brands and playing them off against each other, seems very Yojimbo.

同時擁有兩個品牌並相互競爭，似乎很有 Yojimbo 的風格。

這對我們的觀眾來說太難了，喬。

Also, for both of us right now, let's look at the pizza image on the packaging versus the final product.

另外，對於我們倆來說，現在讓我們看看包裝上的披薩圖片和最終產品。

I have to say, this looks like a pretty good pizza, especially for frozen.

我不得不說，這個披薩看起來很不錯，尤其是冷凍披薩。

I think they're playing up the thickness on this, but all right.

我覺得他們是在增加厚度，不過沒關係。

So it's not like exact, but I don't think I wouldn't be like so shocked.

所以這並不準確，但我不認為我會不那麼震驚。

That's kind of on me, but broadly speaking, I would say a fairly faithful recreation.

這是我的責任，但總的來說，我認為這是一次相當忠實的再現。

I mean, this might be the benchmark pizza.

我的意思是，這可能是披薩的標杆。

I think it's a lot fluffier than you would think a frozen pizza would be.

我覺得它比你想象中的冷凍披薩要鬆軟得多。

I know other ones do, but for me, this definitely is a good pizza to fill you up on.

我知道其他披薩也是這樣，但對我來說，這絕對是一個能讓你吃飽的好披薩。

The expectation versus reality gap on how food is advertised versus what you get is so common, there's even a subreddit dedicated to showing those differences.

食品廣告與實際效果之間的期望與現實差距是如此普遍，甚至有一個子論壇專門用來展示這些差異。

Now, the US tends to be a bit more litigious than the UK, we'll say.

現在，我們得說，美國比英國更喜歡打官司。

And yes, people have sued corporations like McDonald's and Wendy's over claims of false advertising.

是的，人們已經起訴過麥當勞和溫迪這樣的公司，指控它們做虛假廣告。

In a recent case, courts did actually side with restaurants on this issue, claiming that no reasonable person could expect a burger to look exactly like an advertisement.

在最近的一起案件中，法院在這一問題上確實站在了餐館一邊，聲稱沒有一個合理的人會期望漢堡看起來與廣告一模一樣。

Another big win for our corporate overlords.

我們的企業霸主又贏了一大筆錢。

Back in 2020, I found this ad for an LA grocery chain that was selling

早在 2020 年，我就發現了洛杉磯一家雜貨連鎖店的廣告，該店正在銷售

DiGiorno rising crust pizzas like this one for $4.99.

DiGiorno 升皮披薩，像這樣的售價為 4.99 美元。

Today, I'm seeing the same pizza for about $6.50, depending on the store.

今天，我看到同樣的披薩售價約為 6.50 美元，具體價格視商店而定。

Now, is that the worst price increase over the past five years?

現在，這是過去五年來最嚴重的價格上漲嗎？

I mean, the good family at DiGiorno has to make a living on these things too, right?

我的意思是，DiGiorno 的好家庭也要靠這些東西謀生，對嗎？

Frozen pizza is big business in both countries.

冷凍披薩在這兩個國家都是大生意。
