Frozen pizzas are… quite the range. Some are legitimately a pathetic excuse that barely approximates the concept of a pizza. Some are pretty good, not great but not bad.
In ether case I can’t imagine eating one multiple nights in a row.
Same, and it’s always worth it adding cheese on top.
In any case, there are other kinds of cheap, relatively decent foods out there. It shouldn’t be hard to have variation even on a budget. Not ideal, but not nearly as grim as frozen pizza every day.

Protip: pimp your pizza.
Slap on some nice cheeses, some nice cold cuts (if you're into meat), sprinkle some basil and oregano, can even dump a more consistent pizza sauce over it of you're feeling frisky! Turns a 5/10 slab of whatever into a 7/10 slab of whatever with custom rims and a body kit!
Pizza sauce is so easy to make yourself - fry a clove of garlic in a teaspoon of oil, add a can a chopped tomatoes, a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar, a pinch of oregano - let that simmer on the stove, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until all the water has boiled off and you have a thick puree then spread that on your chosen base and add some cheese. Voila! If you learn how to make your own dough then a homemade cheese pizza will cost pennies and taste better than anything you will get in the supermarket.

You should try other frozen foods
Or look up 10 or 15 minute recipes
Exactly. In the time you get the oven warm and cook the pizza, you can prepare something else.
I admit pizza is easier, thou. -
A lot of ovens have convection heating now. You can go from opening the freezer to eating an entire pizza in under 20 minutes, dirty only a cutting board and knife, and the hardest step is remembering to set an alarm

I'd say even the pretty good ones can be great not the best pizza but like legitimately quite good if you get a pizza stone I think a large chunk of the problem with frozen pizza is regular ovens just don't cook them that well and the pizza stone largely fixes that

Especially if you remove the plastic wrapping first
When i worked retail we had someone try to return a cooked frozen pizza that had the plastic melted onto it and our corporate policy forced us to take it back. Everyone was thinking the customer was just stupid but i think they were trolling us.

Haven't seen an oven less than 30 years old without a convection setting. That said all the pizza instructions say top+bottom heat so that's what I'll use

The crazy thing is, frozen pizzas aren’t that cheap. Like, they’re not super expensive, but hardly eating on a budget.

There are frozen pizzas near me (a relatively expensive food area, for America), that cost $1.25 (~17c an ounce) and have almost 500 calories. I'm not advocating for the frozen pizza diet at all but that level of price/calorie ratio is pretty impressive.

FINE, I'll peel your stupid pizza

1: Buy a roll of pizza dough.
2: Buy one of those 20 cent cans of tomatopaste.
3: Buy cheese, not shredded cheese because that's more expensive and less tasty.
4: Add those items on top of the dough, add vegetables/meat/fish/whatever to taste.
5: Enjoy vastly superior pizza for roughly the same price. -

The only real problem with making your own dough is the rise time when you just want to slap it together and eat.

You lost me at making my own dough.

Dice up a bit of fresh garlic. Put some Sriracha on there. Get creative and indulgent! The frozen pizza is the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.

Get a lump of dried mozzarella, not fresh. Or better yet, try Oaxaca cheese
