that's exactly what i do for a quick treat. we don't order take-out pizza because i don't eat dairy cheese (only soy or rice) and the muffin is a nice size for mom.
have you tried safeway for frozen raviolli? i think they used to carry it.

John, Safeway sells it. At least the Hilo store does. But Foodland/Sack n Save does too. It is so easy to make and so much better home made... why would you buy frozen?

There is that itinerant baker at the Waimea farmer's market, the one at Parker School, who has a portable brick oven. It's on a trailer and he gets it really hot for the day's baking by burning wood in it. Betcha that would make a great pizza oven. Eventually, I hope to put a wood fired oven in the back yard, but we are still at the excavating stage.
Pizza dough is easy, use any French bread recipe and you get pretty good pizza dough. Toss a bit of powdered rosemary into it while it is kneading, that goes good with pizza.
Hmm, to make pizza dough I take about one third white wheat and two thirds hard red winter wheat and grind them up with a sprinkling of dried rosemary. If you don't have wheat and a grinder, then bread flour from Costco will also work. Put a couple cups of warm water with a spoonful of sugar or honey to feed the yeast into the mixing bowl of your Kitchenaid mixer, use the flat paddle attachment. Let the water/yeast/sugar sit until the yeast froths. Put in a few handfuls of flour, a bit of olive oil (mostly for the flavor), mix on a sort of slow speed. Keep adding flour until the dough pulls in strings away from the sides of the bowl. Let it sit and do that for a minute or two. Add more flour until it starts climbing up the paddle attachment then switch over to the dough hook. Add more flour until it works properly around the dough hook, let it work for a minute or two. Sprinkle corn meal across a pizza tile or flat pan and spread the dough out flat. Cover with your favorite toppings and bake at 425 or 450 degrees until it is brown and bubbly on top. Cool for a bit or you will burn the roof of your mouth.

Do the pizza dough in your bread machine. Set the timer to start the dough about 90 minutes before you plan on cooking the pizza. Maybe when you go to work in the morning. It will rise and be awaiting you when you get ready to cook it. Just be sure you program your machine not to bake the dough.

Carol,
You can use the frozen bread dough in the freezer section for pizza dough. However, if you go to any pizza place and ask them if you can buy dough, they will probably sell you some. Whole Foods used to sell it for $5 a bag. I think that is a lot of money considering it is just flour, water and yeast. Try asking at Cafe Pesto. Dominos probably will not sell it to you. I think that there are some other places in town that sell pizza, I just don't know them because I don't buy it. If all else fails, I have a friend that is opening a bakery in Hilo next month and I know she will sell it. She is in Europe till the first of May.
If you want to make your own, you can do it in large batches and freeze balls of dough after the first rise. It will keep in the freezer for about 4 months.

I have a hundred bucks that says if you go into a Pizza Hut and ask for dough, they'll tell you they're all out of it.

You are probably right on that one. Theirs probably comes pre-shaped and frozen. I meant a REAL pizza place. I forgot about Pizza Hut, never been to one!

Devany, for the record my Pizza Hut comment was a reality-based joke but that aside, you're smarter and have more dicipline than I for not wimping out and wasting your money on garbage.
