Start with each frozen pizza’s stated servings and pack weight rather than assuming that one large pizza will feed the household. A larger shared pizza makes sense when everyone wants the same topping; several pizzas offer more flexibility when portions, flavours or dietary requirements differ. Check the exact packs for allergens, nutrition, cooking instructions and the space they will need in your freezer and oven.
If several people will eat the same pizza, compare stated servings as well as weight. Asda lists two servings for both a 334g Goodfella’s thin pizza and a 421g deep-pan pizza; a larger pack is not, by itself, a serving plan for the whole household.
One shared pizza may not suit every eater. A basket of different pizzas lets you plan for separate topping preferences or a particular dietary requirement, provided each exact pack suits the person who will eat it.
Check allergens and nutrition for the portion each person is likely to eat. The Goodfella’s products listed by Asda declare milk and wheat, while salt figures differ between the individual pizzas covered here.
Decide how many people need feeding and whether they can share a topping, then compare the exact packs for dietary suitability and the practicalities of cooking them.
Choose it when: everyone can share the same topping and you want to serve from one box.
Bear in mind: even a larger pack needs its stated servings checked against the number of eaters.
Choose them when: topping preferences or the amounts people will eat differ.
Bear in mind: several boxes need freezer space and may not fit in the oven together.
Choose it when: someone needs a pizza selected for a specific dietary requirement.
Bear in mind: a vegan or gluten-free description does not answer every allergen question; check the exact pack.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Enough pizza | Compare net weight, stated servings and the number of eaters. Asda labels its 334g Goodfella’s thin pizza and 421g deep-pan pizza as two servings each; the serving guidance for a different pack may vary. | I’m feeding several people, so I need to know whether the chosen pizza is enough on its own or whether to buy more food. |
| Flavours and diets | Check the exact topping, ingredients and allergen statements. Dr. Oetker UK lists vegan and gluten-free Ristorante products, but its vegan pepperoni pizza also carries a precautionary statement about milk constituents. | Different people at our table may need different toppings or a separate pizza that suits their dietary requirements. |
| Nutrition per portion | Compare the same amount eaten, using per-serving and per 100g figures where given. Asda lists 1.3g salt per half pizza for its 334g Goodfella’s thin Margherita listing; Sainsbury’s lists 1.81g per half for its deep-pan meat feast. | I want to compare the portions we would actually serve, including what else is planned for the meal, rather than judge nutrition from the box size. |
| Storage and cooking | Check frozen-storage directions, cooking time and oven space on each pack. Asda’s Goodfella’s deep-pan listing says to store at −18°C or cooler and not to refreeze after defrosting. | Several pizzas need to fit in my freezer now and be practical to cook when everyone is ready to eat. |
Pack weight and stated servings answer different questions: a heavier pizza is not a guarantee that one box covers every eater.
Count the people eating, read the pack’s serving guidance and decide whether you need another pizza or sides.
A shared pizza is less useful if someone cannot eat its ingredients or does not want its topping.
Check preferences and dietary requirements before choosing between one large pizza and a mixed basket; read the exact ingredients and allergen statements.
An unwanted topping can also leave part of the meal uneaten.
Salt per labelled portion differs between products. Asda lists 1.3g per half pizza for Goodfella’s 334g thin Margherita, while Sainsbury’s lists 1.81g per half for its deep-pan meat feast.
Compare nutrition for the amount you expect to serve, using the same measurement basis for each pizza.
Multiple boxes take freezer space, and pizzas may have different cooking instructions. Asda’s Goodfella’s deep-pan listing specifies storage at −18°C or cooler and says not to refreeze after defrosting.
Check freezer and oven capacity before the shop, then follow each pack’s storage and cooking directions.
These range examples can help you decide which pack details to compare; a brand name alone does not establish serving size or dietary suitability.
Sainsbury’s lists Chicago Town Takeaway large stuffed-crust pizzas in 630g and 645g variants.
Goodfella’s UK range includes stonebaked thin, classic takeaway, deep-pan and gluten-free pizzas.
Dr. Oetker UK lists conventional and gluten-free Ristorante products, alongside a vegan pepperoni pizza.
Sainsbury’s lists own-label pizzas in different formats, including 553g and 567g Takeaway Fully Loaded products.
Asda lists smaller two-item formats, including Chicago Town deep-dish pizzas and own-label pizza subs.
These options include larger stuffed-crust pizzas for a shared topping and a smaller Margherita for a mixed-pizza shop. Use the current pack details to plan servings and check dietary suitability.

A 334g thin-base Margherita to consider alongside other pizzas when one topping will not suit the whole household. Check its current servings, allergens and cooking instructions when planning the meal.
Start with the stated servings on each pack, then consider the number of diners, their appetites and any sides. Asda labels both its 334g Goodfella’s thin pizza and 421g deep-pan pizza as two servings; do not assume a different pizza feeds the whole family just because its box says “large”.
One large pizza is a practical choice when everyone can share its topping and its stated servings fit your meal plan. Choose several pizzas when people need different flavours, portions or dietary options, and check that you can store and cook them.
No. Those descriptions refer to particular characteristics, not every ingredient or possible allergen. Dr. Oetker’s vegan pepperoni pizza, for example, states that it may contain traces of milk constituents; check the exact current pack for the intended eater.
A portion figure helps you compare what someone is likely to eat, rather than differently sized whole pizzas. Asda lists 1.3g salt per half pizza for its 334g Goodfella’s thin Margherita listing, while Sainsbury’s lists 1.81g per half for its deep-pan meat feast. Use the current labels and keep the comparison on the same portion basis.
Make sure the boxes fit in the freezer and that your oven can accommodate the pizzas you intend to serve together. Follow each pack’s directions: Asda’s Goodfella’s deep-pan listing specifies storage at −18°C or cooler and says not to refreeze after defrosting; cooking instructions differ by product.
