For two adults who want separate portions without dividing a pizza, a twin pack labelled as one pizza per serving is a straightforward choice. If you are happy to share one pizza, look for a stated two-serving pack and compare the nutrition for the half each person would eat. For gluten or lactose requirements, choose an explicitly labelled product and check the current pack’s ingredients and allergen information.
A twin pack avoids dividing one pizza. ASDA Groceries lists Chicago Town Deep Dish packs containing two individual pizzas, with one pizza stated as one serving. Check the instructions for your chosen flavour: the reviewed air-fryer directions allow only one pizza at a time.
Choose a single pizza labelled as two servings if dividing it suits your meal. Product listings from ASDA Groceries and Sainsbury’s identify two-serving examples from Goodfella’s, ASDA and Sainsbury’s; their nutrition is stated per half pizza, making each person’s portion easier to compare.
Look for the required claims on the exact variant rather than relying on crust style. Sainsbury’s lists Dr. Oetker Ristorante Gluten Free Pizza Mozzarella 370g as gluten free and lactose free, with one pizza serving two. Its listing also cautions people with severe legume allergies because the product contains pea protein.
Start with the serving declaration, then check the portion, cooking instructions and ingredients for the particular pizza you plan to buy.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack format | Check whether the pack contains two individual pizzas or one pizza, and how many servings its label declares. Compare the stated portion with what each person plans to eat. | We would rather have a pizza each than divide one; alternatively, sharing one labelled two-serving pizza suits us. |
| Portion nutrition | Compare energy, saturated fat and salt for the portion each person would eat, using the same portion basis. ASDA Groceries lists 516 kcal and 1.4 g salt per half of Goodfella’s Deep Pan Cheese 421g; Sainsbury’s lists 397 kcal and 1.79 g salt per half of its Thin & Crispy Pepperoni 305g. | If we split a pizza, the per-half figures are more useful to us than figures for the whole pizza. |
| Cooking method | Check the exact pack’s appliance, time and temperature instructions. ASDA Groceries lists microwave, oven and air-fryer methods for selected Chicago Town Deep Dish packs, but their air-fryer instructions say to cook no more than one pizza at a time. | Both portions need to be ready together, so cooking pizzas one after the other may not suit our plans. |
| Ingredients | Read the current ingredient and allergen declarations for the exact flavour and pack size. Check gluten-free and lactose-free claims separately; a vegetarian label does not answer an allergen question. | One of us needs a particular ingredient or allergen check, so the exact variant matters more than the range name. |
| Frozen storage | Follow the chosen pack’s storage and cooking directions. Goodfella’s states frozen storage at -18°C for its Stonebaked Thin Margherita; storage directions must be checked for other products individually. | We may keep the pizza for another evening and need to follow its own storage instructions. |
Even pizzas labelled as two servings can differ by nutrient. ASDA Groceries lists 516 kcal and 9.1 g saturated fat per half of Goodfella’s Deep Pan Cheese 421g, while Sainsbury’s lists 397 kcal and 6.3 g saturated fat per half of its Thin & Crispy Pepperoni 305g.
Use the serving declaration and compare the figures for the amount each person intends to eat, rather than comparing a whole pizza with an individual one.
ASDA Groceries’ instructions for the reviewed Chicago Town Deep Dish twin packs say not to air-fry more than one pizza at a time.
Check the exact pack’s directions and your appliance capacity if you want to serve both pizzas together.
Cooking one pizza at a time may add a second batch to your meal preparation.
Vegetarian pizzas may still contain milk or wheat. Sainsbury’s lists pea protein and a caution for people with severe legume allergies on the Dr. Oetker Ristorante Gluten Free Pizza Mozzarella 370g listing.
Read the current ingredients and allergen declaration for the exact product, even when its front-of-pack claims appear to match your requirements.
Cooking directions differ between pizzas and appliances. GOV.UK advises following packet cooking instructions and checking that food is completely cooked and steaming hot before serving.
Use the selected pizza’s stated method, time and temperature. Follow its directions on whether to cook from frozen or defrost first.
These examples illustrate pack formats and label checks; the details apply to the named products, not every pizza made by each brand.
Selected Deep Dish twin packs suit couples who want an individual pizza each.
Deep Pan Cheese 421g is an example of a single pizza labelled as two servings by ASDA Groceries.
The Ristorante range includes thin-base pizzas; a specific Gluten Free Pizza Mozzarella 370g variant is listed by Sainsbury’s as serving two.
Thin & Crispy Pepperoni 305g is an own-label example explicitly listed as serving two.
Three Cheese Deep Pan Pizza 385g is an own-label single pizza for which ASDA Groceries suggests two servings.
These single-pizza options are relevant when considering a pizza to divide. Check each pack’s serving declaration before treating it as a meal for two; nutrition stated per half or quarter does not, by itself, establish two servings.

The product description states two servings and gives nutrition per half pizza, which helps with planning a shared meal. It identifies wheat and milk, and says the pizza may contain soya and mustard. Check the current pack for cooking instructions.

The description presents this as a sharing pizza and gives nutrition per quarter, alongside from-frozen oven instructions. Check the pack’s serving declaration to decide how much each person would have. It lists wheat and milk, may contain soya and mustard, and includes pork salami.

This pizza is described as suitable for sharing, with nutrition given per quarter and oven cooking indicated. Check the current pack for its serving declaration and detailed oven settings before planning portions or cooking. The description lists wheat, milk-containing cheeses and barley.

Nutrition given per half pizza offers a portion basis if you are considering sharing it. Check the pack’s total serving declaration and cooking instructions rather than assuming that half a pizza is its stated serving. It contains milk and wheat.

The product information gives nutrition for a 167 g half-pizza serving, useful when comparing a possible shared portion. Check the current pack’s total serving declaration and cooking directions before relying on it for two people. It contains gluten and milk; the Joybuy product information states frozen storage at -18°C or cooler.
No. Check the serving declaration on the exact pack. ASDA Groceries lists selected Chicago Town twin packs as one individual pizza per serving, while its Goodfella’s Deep Pan Cheese example and two-serving pizzas listed by Sainsbury’s use a shared-pizza basis. Compare the labelled portion with what each person intends to eat.
Not for the reviewed Chicago Town Deep Dish air-fryer variants: ASDA Groceries’ instructions say to cook no more than one pizza at a time. Check the directions for your exact pack and whether your appliance can accommodate it.
Crust style alone does not establish either figure. Sainsbury’s lists 397 kcal and 1.79 g salt per half of its Thin & Crispy Pepperoni 305g; ASDA Groceries lists 516 kcal and 1.4 g salt per half of Goodfella’s Deep Pan Cheese 421g. Compare the same nutrients for the portion each person would eat.
Not necessarily: check both claims on the exact product. Sainsbury’s lists Dr. Oetker Ristorante Gluten Free Pizza Mozzarella 370g as both gluten free and lactose free, but that does not establish the ingredients or claims of other gluten-free pizzas or other Dr. Oetker variants.
Follow the instructions on the pizza you bought. GOV.UK guidance says frozen food should be fully defrosted before cooking unless the manufacturer instructs you to cook it from frozen. Follow the packet’s cooking directions and check that the food is completely cooked and steaming hot before serving.
