I mean, the whole concept’s pretty flawed. Home ovens just aren’t made to produce great pizza (sure, there are many ways to get great pizza from your home oven, many discussed on this site, but none of them read “Preheat oven to 425°, toss the 1.5”+ thick pizza in the oven, cook until somewhere between raw-middled and hard and lifeless.") I think “freshness” was part of their selling point (Look, there are raw vegetables on my uncooked pizza! It must be healthy!) but the quality of the toppings were never apparently higher than any other major chain. I’d rather eat Pizza Hut or Round Table—or, frankly, plenty of the better frozen pizzas—for dinner any day.
