BEST CHEESE: Wolfgang Puck All-Natural Margherita
This pie won raves over the “big, pretty” tomato slices and strong flavors of olive oil and herbs: “It tastes like fresh pesto.”
BEST PEPPERONI: Tombstone Pepperoni
Tasters called it “one generously topped” pie. The supermarket standby also scored big for its “thick and salty” slices.
BEST VEGETABLE: DiGiorno Rising Crust Spinach, Mushroom & Garlic
“It’s doughy on the inside and crisp on the outside,” said one taster. And this well-decorated pie is smothered with “loads of spinach” and “fresh-tasting mushrooms.”
BEST SAUSAGE: Home Run Inn Deep Dish Sausage
Tasters said the inside-out deep-dish pie is worth the fuss, praising its “crunchy crust,” “big tomato chunks” and “juicy sausage.” (homeruninn.com for stores)
BEST CRUST: Amy’s Kitchen 3-Cheese Pizza with Cornmeal Crust
Freezers aren’t always kind to pizza crust—making them doughy, dense or limp. But judges noted the “great cornmeal texture” on this unique recipe.
BEST ODDBALL
California Pizza Kitchen BBQ Chicken
The frozen supermarket version of the restaurant’s pie beat plenty of wacky pizzas. Judges loved the “tangy” sauce and “mountain of toppings.”

Sadly it went down slightly unnoticed, many young web designers have once used this site to share with world what ever their hearts desired, it was the most significant virtual museum on the internet.
GeoCities allowed anyone to build a custom web page for free and reserved a small amount of virtual storage to keep pictures and documents.
It was perhaps the first mainstream example of an open, participatory and personal Internet.
Practically every facet of our culture was documented and thanks to search engines, easily accessible, now today all of those documents are disappeared. GeoCites stopped accepting new accounts at the beginning of this year. Existing users could continue to update their pages and save sites to a personal hard drive in advance of the impending closure. Yahoo is encouraging the relatively few remaining users to transition their accounts to the company’s $5-per-month Web hosting service.
