Review: Totino's Pizza
#1
Love it! Pile on some extra shredded cheese and some hot sauce, and you've got a meal! Plus where else can you get a pizza for just over a dollar? Eat two if you're really hungry... Anybody else love this stuff?

A very brief history of Totino's pizza:
Rose Totino started baking pizzas when she was a young newlywed. Her success with pizza at local PTA events convinced her to open Totino's Italian Kitchen on Central Avenue in Minneapolis--and then start a frozen pizza factory in 1962. Her pizza joint was in the neighborhood that I grew up in. I used to eat there, knew the family, and had her daughter as my grade school classmate. If you think their pizza is good now, too bad you couldn't try the original thing put out by the restaurant.
By the 1970's, Totino's Pizza was the largest frozen-pizza factory in the United States.
In 1975, she was able to sell the company to Pillsbury for $20 million.
She wrote one of the most impressive small business success stories of Minnesota.
