For a frozen pizza at Sunday lunch, compare fat per 100g before looking at the stated serving: a thin base or vegetable topping does not, by itself, establish a reduced-fat claim. Among the products compared here, Sainsbury’s lists 6.9g fat per 100g for its Vegetable Pizza, while Goodfella’s Stonebaked Thin Margherita lists 9.7g; their stated half-pizza servings contain 13.3g and 17g respectively. If pizza is served alongside other dishes, the portion you eat matters too.
If pizza is the main dish or accompanies a Sunday meal, compare fat per 100g and the amount you expect to serve. Those figures answer different questions: one compares pizzas by weight; the other relates to your portion.
A vegetable or Margherita pizza may fit a vegetarian preference, but its topping name does not tell you its fat or saturated-fat content. Check the nutrition panel and current ingredients as well as the vegetarian label.
When pizza has to fit around the rest of Sunday lunch, use the cooking instructions on its pack to plan oven space and serving time.
Shortlist pizzas by fat per 100g, then check what a stated serving contributes to the meal and how the pizza needs to be cooked.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Fat and saturates | Compare both figures per 100g on the current pack, then check the stated serving. Sainsbury’s lists 6.9g fat and 2.2g saturates per 100g for its Vegetable Pizza; the Goodfella’s Stonebaked Thin Margherita listing gives 9.7g and 5g. | I want to compare pizzas on the same basis, rather than assume that a thin base, vegetable topping or cheese topping tells me the fat content. |
| Serving size | Check pack weight and the nutrition given for a half pizza or other stated serving. Half-pizza figures are not a like-for-like weight comparison across different packs. | If pizza is only part of Sunday lunch, I want the nutrition figure for the portion I plan to serve. |
| Cooking | Follow the pack’s oven setting, time and instructions for cooking from frozen. Sainsbury’s lists 10–13 minutes for Dr. Oetker Ristorante Mozzarella; check the current pack when planning the meal. | The pizza needs to fit around dishes already using the oven, without guessing its cooking time. |
| Ingredients and dietary fit | Read the current ingredient and allergen declarations, and check any vegetarian labelling. Also compare salt per serving if that figure matters to your choice. | I may want a vegetarian pizza, or need to check ingredients for someone sharing the meal. |
Pizza styles can have different declared fat values. Sainsbury’s Vegetable Pizza lists 6.9g per 100g, while the checked Goodfella’s Thin Pepperoni and Dr. Oetker Ristorante Mozzarella listings each give 11g per 100g.
Read the nutrition panel instead of treating “thin”, “vegetable” or “mozzarella” as proof of a reduced-fat claim.
Half a pizza is not the same weight for every product, so serving figures alone can obscure the comparison.
Use per-100g values for a like-for-like shortlist, then check the stated serving against the portion you intend to eat.
Other label values can change the decision. Sainsbury’s lists 4.3g saturates and 1.74g salt per half Vegetable Pizza; its Chicago Town Tiger Crust Double Pepperoni listing gives 7.1g saturates and 1.7g salt per half cooked pizza.
Compare fat, saturates and salt using the same label basis before choosing a portion.
Cooking directions and ingredient declarations matter when timing pizza with a meal or serving someone with dietary restrictions.
Check the pack you have bought for allergens and oven instructions, and follow its directions before serving.
These references concern the named pizzas and their listed characteristics, not every product made by each brand.
Its Vegetable Pizza is a vegetarian option for comparing fat by weight and by serving.
The checked Stonebaked Thin pizzas include Margherita and pepperoni versions with different nutrition figures.
Ristorante Mozzarella is a vegetarian mozzarella pizza for shoppers considering a cheese topping.
Tiger Crust Double Pepperoni is an option when a pepperoni topping is the deciding preference.
Double Pepperoni Stonebaked Pizza offers another pepperoni-style label to compare.
Tesco’s Stonebaked Pepperoni Pizza is a pepperoni option with mozzarella described in its listing.
These Joybuy options cover a pepperoni-style pizza and a thin-base Margherita for a Sunday meal. Compare each current pack with your preferred portion and cooking plans.

A pepperoni-style option if the topping matters more to you than choosing by fat alone. Compare the current pack’s fat per 100g and stated serving with other pizzas, and follow its cooking directions when planning Sunday lunch.

A thin-base Margherita for shoppers who prefer a cheese topping. Check this pack’s nutrition and cooking instructions when comparing portions and coordinating it with the rest of Sunday lunch; do not use crust style as a reduced-fat claim.
No. A thin crust describes the pizza’s style, not its nutrition claim. Tesco lists 11g fat per 100g for Goodfella’s Stonebaked Thin Pepperoni, so use the current nutrition panel to compare it with other pizzas.
Sainsbury’s Vegetable Pizza has the lowest listed figure in this comparison, at 6.9g fat per 100g and 13.3g per half pizza. That is a comparison of the named products’ label values, not a claim that the pizza is marketed as “reduced fat”.
Use the cooking time and oven setting on the pack you buy, then plan around any other dishes using the oven. Follow its instructions for cooking from frozen and check that the pizza is piping hot before serving.
The checked Sainsbury’s Vegetable Pizza and Goodfella’s Stonebaked Thin Margherita are described as suitable for vegetarians. Vegetarian labelling does not answer an allergen question, so check the current pack’s ingredient and allergen declarations before serving either pizza.
