Asda? Sainsbury’s?

Goodfellas takeaway is the favourite in our house, I usually add a few toppings though.

Just to add. If you are pizza obsessed (like we are in our house Grin ) get an Unni pizza oven. Restaurant quality pizza in seconds. Plus it’s small and reasonably priced too! Perfect your dough recipe, pizza sauce and add fresh mozerella/ basil. You’ll never want to eat out again.

I order one from a local Italian restaurant and pick it up, a couple of quid more than a supermarket one but extremely good.

I don’t mind the current Waitrose Gorgonzola and Parma ham one or the one with black dough - both the posh range.

I am reading all these answers for the words ‘very thin’, I don’t like many pizzas, too much dough for me. I make my own from scratch but they end up costing more than the Waitrose ones once you use nice ingredients.

Aldi is fine but the best option is to make your own, really easy, but does take circa 3 hours to make base if proper yeast one. Trick is roll very thin, preheat tray very hot

Aldi
Co op

Asda American Sizzler is THEEEEEE best pizza I've had in ages. Almost beats take away pizza which is a huge statement from me.

Sainsbury's Taste the Difference or counter. This threads making me hungry!

SpamChaudFroid · 27/11/2018 03:15

The nicest shop bought pizza I think is the Crosta & Mollica bases from Waitrose. They're practically as thin as a blue Rizla paper! They come with tomato sauce already on them but I like to add a bit extra, then mozzerella, goats cheese, (or Burrata if I can get it) and Chorizo. Maybe a drizzle of truffle oil if I'm feeling fancy, then cooked on the oven's pizza setting.

I dislike American style pizzas, (too much doughy base and plastick-ey cheese) and for some reason Dominos tend to give me the shits.

I fucking love pizza.

Visually impaired, so maybe I am missing something, but is the counter at Astor like a meat counter? Like the one in Finsbury is where you can buy ready to eat southern fried chicken, etc.? I will ask someone in the shop next time I'm at Asda because I have never noticed a counter.

randomsabreuse · 27/11/2018 05:10

Aldi specially selected are better than pizza out, let alone takeaway!

SimplySteve · 27/11/2018 05:31

Thanks Spam, I now want pizza at 5:30 in the morning...

Cuzcothellama · 27/11/2018 06:19

The Co Op posh ones are very nice. In fact the posh ones from any shop are all very nice. I much prefer them to takeaway pizza.

SpamChaudFroid · 27/11/2018 11:33

Grin Simply I was saddened I didn't have one in the house after writing that!

BigManBen · 27/11/2018 11:44

Costa mollica bases from Waitrose, add your own toppings .... lush

dementedpixie · 27/11/2018 12:28

hellokittymania, yes it's like a meat counter thing but not all Asda's have them. You choose a base, BBQ or tomato sauce and then you can choose 4 toppings and a flavoured oil if you want. They make it up for you as you wait. The 4 of us all have different toppings so it works out well as we can all get what we want

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 27/11/2018 12:30

The Aldi sourdough oval shaped ones are lovely.

OldBrownShoe · 27/11/2018 12:33

Co-Op do a really nice one with salami and fig.

Or pizza express sloppy Giuseppe

BertrandRussell · 27/11/2018 12:39

Sooo easy to make-honest! And you can freeze home made dough. Happy to provide a recipe.

Cocobana · 27/11/2018 13:27

@BertrandRussell i’d love the recipe if you’d be so kind, I haven’t made my own pizza dough for so long I can’t remember and I don’t want to chance a random recipe off google as nice to have a tried and trusted one...😃

listsandbudgets · 27/11/2018 13:29

I'm a cheapskate - I think the Lidl stonebaked ones are gorgeous

Titsywoo · 27/11/2018 13:34

Definitely the crosta and mollica bases from Waitrose.

user1457017537 · 27/11/2018 13:38

I buy a posh one or Pizza Express and add more olives, salami, cheese, roasted tomatoes and artichoke, depending on what’s in the fridge.

Loopylou6 · 27/11/2018 13:41

French baguette, slice open, spread on loads of Tom puree, mozzarella cheese, chopped ham, throw in oven till cheese melts. Yum.
