Dr Oerker was founded by a nazi. Probably still controlled and owned by nazis. Check Wikipedia for their family history.
Edit: not all German companies, this one specifically, check my answer below for details.
Also some companies supported and profited from the nazi regime but aren't affiliated anymore. They changed ownership, renounced their past and the ideology and eventually made reparations. I don't believe this is the case with Dr Oetker but I would be happy to be proven wrong.

The Crosta & Mollica Stromboli has ruined all other pizza for me. It's infinitely superior to everything except perhaps a genuine Italian fresh from the pizza oven.
By the way: For making really good pizza oneself, this video (German, 27 minutes) looked to me like the guy gives really solid instructions.
(I haven't tried it though, and it's a multi-day project.)
Ingredients for the dough:
400 g flour (type 500 or 00)
280 ml water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
8 g fresh yeast
DOUGH PREPARATION
Pizza dough preparation process:
Mix water, which should be at room temperature, with olive oil. Add salt and crumble the yeast. Stir to dissolve the yeast and let stand for about 10 minutes.
Pour the mixture into a bowl with flour and knead for about 20 minutes to obtain a soft, smooth and elastic dough.
If necessary, you can add a little more water or flour while kneading.
Shape the kneaded dough into a smooth loaf. Place it in a floured bowl and cover well so that it does not dry out during the rising process.
First, let the dough rise for one hour at room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator for 48 hours.
After 48 hours, remove it from the refrigerator and let it rise for one hour at room temperature.
Then take the dough out of the bowl and divide it into two loaves, if desired, for two pizzas. Brush the tops of the loaves with olive oil, cover with clear plastic wrap and let rise for another hour.
Stretch the risen dough with your hands, forming a circle with your palms, from the center to the edge. To make it easier, you can also oil your hands a little.
Finally, use your fingers to form a few millimeters thick edge.
Note: The dough can also rise overnight or for 24 hours.
Bake on 270ยฐC preferably on a pizza stone if you have one.
I mean no one's replacing Dr oetker frozen pizzas with home made, the whole point of them is they're pretty cheap and you can throw them in the oven for a quick meal. Not saying you shouldn't make home made pizzas, these frozen ones are not good and also not very healthy, but I don't think this is one of those things you can directly replace with a home made version, the home made you'll make for a proper dinner or something. Maybe replace the frozen pizzas with something else that's equally quick/easy but more home made though.
I mean, i do. It's quickly made if you buy the dough.
Then again, since i live alone, i started to assess meals by their nutritional value vs. calories, since you can only eat so much a day and i want to lose weight. It's second nature now and that might not be typical.
