Couples sharing one pizza
Check the pack weight and whether its crust and toppings appeal to both diners before deciding that one pizza will suit the meal.
Who is this for?
Thin-crust pizza buyers
If a thin base matters more to you than a larger pack, compare the named crust style and toppings rather than choosing by weight alone.
Allergen-aware shoppers
Check the current pack for the exact flavour before sharing. Allergen declarations can differ between pizzas, including products from the same range.
What matters when choosing?
Start with how much pizza you want for two, then check the crust, toppings and preparation details of the exact pack.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Amount for two | Compare pack weights and any stated serving basis. Consider whether you intend to serve anything alongside the pizza. | I want enough for us to share without choosing a larger pizza simply for its weight. |
| Crust style | Check whether the selected pizza has a thin or stuffed crust, and compare pack weights if size matters. Joybuy lists the Goodfella's thin Margherita at 334g and the Chicago Town Loaded Cheese stuffed-crust pizza at 630g. | A thin base might suit our plans; on another evening, we might both prefer a larger stuffed-crust pizza. |
| Toppings and allergens | Read the exact flavour's ingredients, allergen declaration and nutrition panel. Do not assume another pizza from the range has the same contents. | We need to agree on the toppings, and any ingredient restrictions need checking against the current pack. |
| Storage and cooking | Check frozen-storage directions and follow the selected pack's oven instructions, including shelf placement or rotation where specified. | I need a cooking method we can follow with our oven and time to make sure the pizza is thoroughly cooked. |
What should you avoid?

Assuming every flavour in a range is alike
Toppings, ingredients, nutrition and allergen declarations can change between flavours. A familiar brand name does not tell you what is in the pizza you have chosen.
Read the current pack's ingredients, allergen panel and nutrition information for that exact flavour.
-
Using one cooking time for every pizza
Preparation directions are product-specific. Dr. Oetker instructs buyers of its Ristorante Pollo to rotate the pizza halfway through cooking and ensure it is thoroughly cooked.
Follow the selected pack's oven setting, shelf position and cooking directions rather than using instructions from a different pizza.

Common questions
How do I choose a frozen pizza to share?
Compare pack weight with the amount both diners expect to eat, then agree on the crust and toppings. Joybuy lists Chicago Town Stuffed Crust Takeaway Loaded Cheese at 630g and Goodfella's Margherita Stonebaked Thin at 334g; the larger pack will not suit every dinner simply because it contains more pizza.
Should I check allergens if I have bought the brand before?
Yes: check the current pack for the exact flavour before serving. The Joybuy listings declare gluten and milk for Goodfella's Margherita Stonebaked Thin, while Chicago Town Loaded Cheese declares milk and wheat and warns that it may contain mustard and soya.
Can I cook a pizza straight from frozen?
Follow the directions for the pizza you choose. Dr. Oetker instructs buyers of Ristorante Pollo to keep it frozen until baking, place it on the bottom wire oven shelf, rotate it halfway through cooking and ensure it is thoroughly cooked; do not apply those directions to every pizza.
Can I refreeze a pizza after it has thawed?
Follow the selected pack's storage instructions. The Joybuy listing for Goodfella's Margherita Stonebaked Thin says not to refreeze it once defrosted; do not assume another product has identical directions.
