Easy pizza

Since I will be camping in a remote area this summer, I am looking for some easy meals if I get a craving. Looking for recommendations for easy pizza - box mix, pre-cooked crusts, whatever your favorite is. I have an oven in my camper, and a portable gas grill.
  • I also use the Naan for a crust. I get frozen ones from Trader Joe's. They come 4 to a pack. They are thinner than the ones in the bread aisle and make a better pizza in my opinion.
  • And get a pizza stone for the best results. Or an unglazed tile if you want something smaller.
  • Thanks for the suggestions. As you can see from the pic in my original post, I have a small trailer with limited space and just do good old fashioned camping without all the amenities of a big rig. I've done some looking around on the net and read reviews, and it looks like I will be getting a pizza crust mix packet from Walmart, a small can of pizza sauce, a small can of parmesan and a little pack of pepperoni from the Dollar Tree. That will give me one pizza for me, and despite not being anywhere near a "real" pizza, it will taste like a million bucks - as everything does when you're camping!
  • With it just being you and space limited, you might look at buying individual packets of things like Parmesan, ketchup and so on.

    I've bought from www.minimus.biz before and it works well. You can buy as many or as few packets as you want and they are good for a year (salad dressing is good for 3 months). Much easier when even a small bottle of condiments is too much. :)

    I've also bought the refigerated "gourmet" parmesan - shredded or shaved. It costs more, but I don't have tons of leftovers that I'll never manage to eat before the expiration date.

    Glad you've found a method that fits your needs. Sweet camper! I know you said it doesn't have a freezer but does it have a fridge?
  • I just buy a large Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, Dominos, etc. and freeze 2-3 slices in zip lock bags. I can generally get 4 meals/bags out of a large. Remove the slices and bake to warm up as needed.

    You said you did not have a freezer, but they will keep and still be edible for several days in a good cooler.
  • NMDriver: Yes, I do have a 3 way fridge so that works great for boondocking. My last one had an ice box, which worked but was less efficient. I'll be doing 6 days, or more, in northern Maine at Cobscook Bay State Park without any hookups so I am planning ahead. Of course, I should be able to find some lobster, if nothing else! It's a great place, well worth the extra planning.
