What's your favourite ready-made pizza? 🍕

DH is currently on holidays (teacher) and I'm working, so he is doing a lot of the dinners at the moment. Since his cooking is, err, limited, at least one meal a week tends to be pizza chucked in the oven and some salad alongside. We don't have any "regular" (tbh, tends to be whichever is 2-for-1, on special or whatever) but the DC are constantly saying "that one we had last week / on Monday / in April was waaaaay nicer".

So, has anyone got any recommendations? I'm sure someone's going to disapprove of feeding DC pizza but I don't think once a week hurts. No vegan/wholewheat/cauliflower options since DH the kids won't eat!

If I’m being fancy the Waitrose ones are lovely! But usually I buy aldi cheese and tomato pizzas and we add our own toppings

Goodfellas

Asda pizza counter.

Jourdain11 · 09/08/2021 22:09

We haven't got an Aldi nearby, though I bet they do good ones! I'm not a fan of Goodfellas or Chicago Town and nor is DD2, but DS and DH will happily eat then Smile

Nor an Asda - damnit! I should have specified the available supermarket options...

Sainsbury's, Tesco, Budgens, Morrisons. Plus I can do Co-op or Waitrose on the way home from work.

Crosta & Mollica at Waitrose or Wholefoods ready-made fresh ones, which you cook at home.

DrRichardBurke · 09/08/2021 22:11

Crosta and mollica

Excellent

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 09/08/2021 22:12

They do a stine baked ham mushroom and marscapone one in basically every shop now (co op one seems to be the best, but the have it in sainsburys, aldi and tesco that I've seen) thats really nice, also in aldi the same type but pulled beef or something.
Again aldi, their copy of domino's pizza with the stuffed crust. Dp is adamant its better than domino's, but that wouldn't be hard bot to be honest, and their loaded potato wedges are great.

SaveWaterDrinkGin · 09/08/2021 22:13

Another vote for Crosta and Mollica from Waitrose (not seen them anywhere else yet). Genuinely the best ready-made pizza I’ve had.

Jourdain11 · 09/08/2021 22:13

Thanks for the Crosta & Mollica tip! Our Budgens does them too, but I always wondered if they were as good as they looked like they should be.

Dr Oetker got the thumbs down tonight. Like cardboard, apparently!

Stone, not Stine
Wouldn't be hard now, not bot Hmm

Crazysheep · 09/08/2021 22:15

Morrisons pizza counter. My fave his ham, chicken, extra cheese and garlic oil.

Jourdain11 · 09/08/2021 22:15

Oh, and we have M&S nearby too... But the expensive ones seem more expensive and the cheap ones were also more expensive and unimpressive.

These, from Morrison's, several different types and currently on offer at 2 for £7.

Chicago town tomato stuffed crust range is a good freezer one!

BikeRunSki · 09/08/2021 22:15

CoOp posh ones. Purple boxes.
Tesco posh ones. Black boxes.

Crosta & Mollica Margherita Sourdough Pizza 403g

Nitgel · 09/08/2021 22:16

I like the sainsburys vegetarian but the ones they make up on site

Jourdain11 · 09/08/2021 22:19

Toppings reviled by the DC:
Sweetcorn (according to DD2 "not a right thing on pizza")
Pineapple
"Mouldy cheese" (blue cheese I suppose, unless we're keeping them too long...)
They are surprisingly okay with most veg and with chili. DD doesn't like "white" pizzas, if I'm using correct terminology. Ones without tomato base.

Ah, I got a slice for lunch last week. It was nice!

Tesco do them I thrilled to bits to see them 😄
ShaunaTheSheep · 09/08/2021 22:26

Another vote for the Chicago Town tomato stuffed crust. The dough is frozen uncooked, and it's surprisingly nice.

SaveWaterDrinkGin · 09/08/2021 22:26

Ooh @keeping2chevronsapart thanks for the tip off!

youngestisapsycho · 09/08/2021 22:30

M&S pizzas are the worst ones of all! I like the Pizza express ones, when they’re half price!
