Favourite Supermarket pizza?

[farmerbarleymow]

An antidote to greasy cardboard pizza: cheese free, ready for the fresh toppings I fancy at the time...

I've tried their bread chunk things that come in various flavours (e.g chilli) - lovely stuff, but baked so hard they shred the roof of your mouth.

Are any supermarkets doing these pizzas yet...?

I'd give a veggie version a go.

Dr Oetke's mushroom and garlic is well tasty

Asda’s create your own on their deli counter. Best by a mile.

Crostini? Less dangerous if you soak them in a soup first.

Morrisons mediterranean veg extra thin pizza is IMO the best of the budget end of supermarket pizzas (I am perpetually broke, so I don't know much about anything other than the budget end of the supermarket pizza scale)

Yeah the Aldi ones are good. We get one as the odd treat. Need to do wedges though as they aren't enough for two and bit big for ones. Well I can do a whole one. But probably shouldn't.

Costco have this organic margherita pizza with spelt and kamut and some other far-too-good-for-you stuff. It's a great base to throw other shit on when you're in a rush.

I had a one stop pizza for lunch that was in the freezer. They 90p reduced from £3 so picked up a few. Was surprisingly good considering where it came from and didn't need that much pimping.

If you're a vegan, try what I do!

1 x blank pizza base from Morrisons.
1 x Morrisons stir in pasta sauce
Some x vegan cheese
A pounds worth of deli counter antipasti such as olives, sun-dried toms and mushrooms that you can get in Morrisons

Stack them in the traditional order, sprinkle with herbs and a drizzle of good oil and bake in an ovenbox for a few minutes and then a few minutes more.

Vegan pizza for about three quid.

I just couldn't buy that - pizzas should be cut up radially like pies, not slashed like some crazed serial killer has been let loose.

That is a fit pizza.

Who's the chef, Edward Scissorhands?

When I used to make them at home I used to use sundried tomato puree. Chuck the jar* in the blender with several cloves of garlic and whatever else, and blitz it all together.

* not the glass bit, obviously.

That's a good one.. I'll try that... Needs to be small portions dunnit. (solo eating for the win..)

Just look at the mutant slices at either end - one skinny with next to no topping, the other the size of a continent. The appalling disrespect for symmetry upsets me.

And some poor fucker gets the shitty end piece?!

It's not logical, aesthetically informed or the British way.

Just got two Pizza Express 'Sloppy Giuseppe' pizzas for 50p each from the #haggleshelf

Plastic wrapping. A leaflet inside wrapped in plastic and polystyrene under the pizzas

Will cook, eat and review shortly

Just put a thick layer of tomatoey loveliness on the pizza, along with buffalo mozzarella (if there is a non-diary substitute), black pepper and fresh basil leave.

polystyrene under the pizzas

Never understood why polystyrene is still used - plenty of pizzas are on cardboard bases, so it is certainly possible to avoid plastic for that bit.

Less is more in the land of the pizza.

I've not found a non dairy mozzarella yet but will start looking now I know it might exist!

There are lots of diary free cheeses marketed as mozerella style... But they have a long way to go imo. Saying that sheese mozerella is pretty good (don't over do it though) that, red peppers, shroomdog chorizo and jalapenos is my fave vegan topping at the moment.
As for supermarket pizzas, sainsburys sourdough from the deli is a pretty good base, but they ruin the veggie one by piling on far too much toppings. When I do occasionally buy one I just get the margaritas and add my own toppings when I get home.

The posh Co-op ham, mushroom and mascarpone pizza is better than the Aldi version, probably my overall favourite atm.

They've changed the Co-op ones and they're shit now

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Probably tried to make them more healthy or something.

Just posher I think. Prosciutto instead of ham now and less/shitter mushrooms.

I thought they only took 10 minutes in the oven?

TBF it is only sliced like that in the picture. I think the actual pizza is still whole.

And as someone who microwaves pies, you don't have any right to criticise!

Pizzas are important - pies are not.
