Dr Oetker is european; and it isn't Nestlรจ

so that's two points it has over Wagner :)

[-] Hubi@feddit.org 70 points 1 month ago

Wagner also committed war crimes in Ukraine. Or so I've heard.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 46 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No, you're thinking of the Wagner Group, a Russian paramilitary organisation.

This is Wagner, the antisemitic 19th century German composer.

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No no, this is Wagner, the private liberal arts college on Staten Island. Those damn liberals with their New York based Hawaiian pizza.

[-] el_bhm@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Can he just go back to music? Ukraine and pizza is a bit too much for my liking.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 16 points 1 month ago

I believe that's a different Wagner Group. Well I hope...

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 10 points 1 month ago

After they tried to do a coup, they had to diversify. Making pizzas is less likely to cause falling from a window or mistake novichok for sugar.

Angry upvote

Dr Oerker was founded by a nazi. Probably still controlled and owned by nazis. Check Wikipedia for their family history.

Edit: not all German companies, this one specifically, check my answer below for details. Also some companies supported and profited from the nazi regime but aren't affiliated anymore. They changed ownership, renounced their past and the ideology and eventually made reparations. I don't believe this is the case with Dr Oetker but I would be happy to be proven wrong.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago

Everything german is Nazi from the early 1900 got it.

Sod off.

[-] staz2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Definitely not, lot of good German companies. on my phone so didn't make a detailed essay, which is why I encouraged you to read Wikipedia.

For those who can't be bothered:

During the 1930s and 1940s, Rudolf-August Oetker was an active member of the Waffen-SS of the Third Reich. The company supported the war effort by providing pudding mixes and munitions to German troops. The business used slave labour in some of its facilities. A bronze bust of Richard Kaselowsky still sits within the company headquarters in Bielefeld. Kaselowsky was killed during an air raid on Bielefeld in 1944.[2] The Oetker Family is among those German families, who have profited most from their close relations to the Nazi regime.[3]

I have to correct the original founder might not be a nazi. His grand son defined was.

The company is still privately held by the same family, and controlled

Richard Oetker, August Oetker's brother, took over as CEO in 2010.

Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Oetke

Edit: before someone try to paint me as some anti German strawman. I like Germany, and went there multiple time, for works, vacation and the ccc congresses and camps And it actually pained me to learn the company history because I actually liked their pizza.

[-] Owlboi@lemm.ee 54 points 1 month ago

as an avid frozen pizza enjoyer, both of these suck, taste wise

We were feeling more united than ever is this community but you decided to start a fight with our Italian friends? Why???

[-] Novocirab@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago
[-] EfreetSK@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Bwahhh frozen pizza. My order of pizzas is:

  1. Make my own if I have time
  2. Order some from good local Pizzeria
  3. Die of starvation
  4. Frozen pizza
[-] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

Explains your lack of response to my Frozen Pizza Pandemonium Party invite.

I don't think I've ever even seen the top one.

[-] zymagoras777@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Oetker is also shit but less evil, I guess?

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

"Hey siri, give me a list of all the terrorist and militant groups that have killed more innocent people and destabilized more countries in a fragile position than Nestle willingly has purely in the pursuit of more profit?"

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 6 points 1 month ago

I love the Ristorante line of their pizzas. Sadly the store I usually buy stuff from no longer sells my favourite one.

[-] pulpy@feddit.it 5 points 1 month ago

Vive l'Italie? Is this French?

[-] mimavox@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

They all taste like crap though.

[-] Cyber@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago

Came here to suggest an alternative: Crosta & Mollica

As far as I can tell they're even from Italy.

We kinda get the best of both worlds: we just get the bases and make what we want so the speed of a ready made pizza, but the flavours of home made.

But still, NO PINEAPPLE !!

[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

But still, NO PINEAPPLE !!

You're one of those sociopaths that puts kiwi on your pizza aren't you?!

[-] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago
[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Fuck..... that's probably actually really good.....sigh

[-] Flisty@mstdn.social 4 points 1 month ago

@Sturgist @IsoKiero my Swedish friend introduced me to Flying Jacob and that stuff is so wrong and yet so right. What is it with Swedes and weird banana recipes

Also, a vote here for Goodfellas pizza (Birdseye). Very average but better than Dr Oetker by a country mile and the gluten free one is pretty decent

Kiwis, no... Australians... maybe (jk)

No, I'm a firm believer in meat and spice on a pizza: 'nduja, jalepeรฑos and chorizo are my usual

[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Fair enough pal, that sounds exactly like my standard zza...except I do actually put pineapple on mine. Instead of chunks I use pulped, strain as much juice out as I can manage, and lightly sprinkle some on. And some baby spinach under the cheese.....

[-] zqps@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Yes pineapple, in moderation.

The meme is funny, but also quite silly. Contrasting savory and sweet tastes is a staple of Italian cuisine.

[-] camelbeard@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

My supermarket sells these and they are superior to all other frozen pizzas I had.

By the way: For making really good pizza oneself, this video (German, 27 minutes) looked to me like the guy gives really solid instructions. (I haven't tried it though, and it's a multi-day project.)

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

multi-day project

Hmm, I'm hungry

I have a godly pizza recipe

Ingredients for the dough:  

400 g flour (type 500 or 00)  
280 ml water  
2 tablespoons olive oil  
1 teaspoon salt  
8 g fresh yeast  

DOUGH PREPARATION  

Pizza dough preparation process:  

Mix water, which should be at room temperature, with olive oil. Add salt and crumble the yeast. Stir to dissolve the yeast and let stand for about 10 minutes.
Pour the mixture into a bowl with flour and knead for about 20 minutes to obtain a soft, smooth and elastic dough.  

If necessary, you can add a little more water or flour while kneading.  

Shape the kneaded dough into a smooth loaf. Place it in a floured bowl and cover well so that it does not dry out during the rising process.  

First, let the dough rise for one hour at room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator for 48 hours.  

After 48 hours, remove it from the refrigerator and let it rise for one hour at room temperature.
Then take the dough out of the bowl and divide it into two loaves, if desired, for two pizzas. Brush the tops of the loaves with olive oil, cover with clear plastic wrap and let rise for another hour.  

Stretch the risen dough with your hands, forming a circle with your palms, from the center to the edge. To make it easier, you can also oil your hands a little.
Finally, use your fingers to form a few millimeters thick edge.  
 
Note: The dough can also rise overnight or for 24 hours.  

Bake on 270ยฐC preferably on a pizza stone if you have one.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

I mean no one's replacing Dr oetker frozen pizzas with home made, the whole point of them is they're pretty cheap and you can throw them in the oven for a quick meal. Not saying you shouldn't make home made pizzas, these frozen ones are not good and also not very healthy, but I don't think this is one of those things you can directly replace with a home made version, the home made you'll make for a proper dinner or something. Maybe replace the frozen pizzas with something else that's equally quick/easy but more home made though.

[-] camelbeard@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

My goto frozen pizza "hack", just get the cheapest most basic pizza margherita, skip known brands and go for the housebrand/offbrand.

Buy some quality toppings and add them, like a spicey salami, aged cheese, etc.

Those Big City pizzas taste like cardboard anyway.

[-] Comtief@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

I learned from my wife to make pizza myself, just get the powder and make the dough from it and so on.. Much tastier
