Meal preppers comparing fat
If frozen pizza is part of your meal plan, compare the label’s fat per 100g and the portion you intend to serve rather than choosing by crust style alone.
Who is this for?
Households sharing a pizza
A half-pizza serving and a quarter-pizza serving represent different amounts of food. Check how many portions the pack declares before comparing the figures for fat, saturated fat and salt.
Freezer-first cooks
If you plan to keep pizzas ready for later meals, check the pack’s freezer-storage and cooking instructions, along with the time and oven space needed on the day.
What should you compare?
Start with comparable per-100g figures, then check whether the stated serving matches the meal you are planning.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Total fat | Compare fat per 100g on the same preparation basis. ASDA Groceries lists 5.4g for Goodfella's Deep Pan Baked Spicy Chicken Sizzler and 9.1g for its Stonebaked Thin Margherita. | I want to compare pizzas by their nutrition figures, not assume a thin base means less fat. |
| Portion size | Check the number of servings and the figures for the amount you will eat. ASDA Groceries states a quarter-pizza serving for Chicago Town Takeaway Stuffed Crust BBQ Pepperoni Salami, but half-pizza servings for the listed Goodfella's examples. | If we share one pizza between two people, a quarter-pizza label figure will not describe each person’s portion. |
| Saturates and salt | Read both figures alongside total fat, using the same serving basis. ASDA Groceries lists 7.9g saturates and 1.8g salt per quarter of the Chicago Town stuffed-crust pizza. | I want to see what the planned portion contains, rather than decide from its total-fat figure alone. |
| Storage and cooking | Check freezer space, storage temperature, cooking instructions and timing on the pack. The ASDA Groceries labels for the listed Goodfella's pizzas specify storage at −18°C or cooler and no refreezing after defrosting. | Keeping the pizza frozen until meal day works better for my plan than thawing it during a batch-cooking session. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming thin crust means less fat
ASDA Groceries lists 9.1g fat per 100g for Goodfella's Stonebaked Thin Margherita, compared with 5.4g for its Deep Pan Baked Spicy Chicken Sizzler.
Compare the nutrition panels per 100g before using crust style to narrow your choice.
-
Comparing unlike servings
ASDA Groceries gives a quarter-pizza serving for the Chicago Town stuffed-crust pizza and half-pizza servings for the listed Goodfella's pizzas. Those serving figures do not describe equal portions.
Shortlist using comparable per-100g values, then check the figures for the amount you plan to serve.
-
Thawing a pizza to put it back in the freezer
The ASDA Groceries labels for the listed Goodfella's pizzas say not to refreeze them after defrosting.
Keep those pizzas frozen until you are ready to follow their pack instructions.
-
Treating gluten-free as a fat comparison
ASDA Groceries lists 9.5g fat per 100g and 18g per half pizza for Dr Oetker Ristorante Gluten Free Mozzarella Pizza. Its gluten-free label addresses a different consideration.
Check dietary suitability and compare fat, saturates and serving size separately. If a severe legume allergy is relevant, read this product’s pea-protein warning on the current pack.
Brand examples to compare
These product-label examples show why the recipe and serving basis matter more than a brand name alone.
Goodfella's
The ASDA Groceries labels cover both thin and deep-pan recipes, making them useful examples for comparing formats.
- The listed Deep Pan Baked Spicy Chicken Sizzler has 5.4g fat per 100g; Stonebaked Thin Cheese & Ham has 6.9g.
- Other listed recipes differ: Deep Pan Cheese has 8.2g fat per 100g and Stonebaked Thin Margherita has 9.1g. Check the particular pizza, not just its crust.
Chicago Town
The Takeaway Stuffed Crust BBQ Pepperoni Salami pizza provides a large, four-serving example for a shared meal.
- ASDA Groceries lists both per-100g nutrition and a quarter-pizza serving for this product.
- Its stated quarter contains 15g fat, 7.9g saturates and 1.8g salt. Check how many quarters each person will eat.
Dr Oetker
Ristorante Gluten Free Mozzarella Pizza is an example to consider when a gluten-free option is required.
- The ASDA Groceries product page labels this particular pizza gluten free.
- It lists 9.5g fat per 100g and warns people with severe legume allergies to take care when introducing pea protein. Check the current pack for suitability.

Goodfella's Pepperoni Stonebaked Thin 332g

Questions about frozen pizza and meal prep
Does thin crust mean a frozen pizza has less fat?
No. ASDA Groceries lists 6.9g fat per 100g for Goodfella's Stonebaked Thin Cheese & Ham and 9.1g for its Stonebaked Thin Margherita, while its Deep Pan Baked Spicy Chicken Sizzler lists 5.4g. Compare the individual labels rather than relying on crust style.
How do I compare pizzas with different serving sizes?
Compare their per-100g nutrition on the same preparation basis first, then check the amount you will serve. ASDA Groceries states a quarter-pizza serving for Chicago Town Takeaway Stuffed Crust BBQ Pepperoni Salami, but half-pizza servings for the listed Goodfella's examples.
Can I thaw a frozen pizza and refreeze it for another meal?
Follow the instruction on the particular pack. ASDA Groceries states “do not refreeze after defrosting” for the listed Goodfella's pizzas, so thawing and refreezing those products would contradict their labels.
Is gluten-free frozen pizza automatically lower in fat?
No. ASDA Groceries lists 9.5g fat per 100g and 18g per half pizza for Dr Oetker Ristorante Gluten Free Mozzarella Pizza. Check gluten-free suitability and fat content as separate parts of the decision.
