For a New Year’s Eve party, consider several own-label flavours if guests want a varied menu, a larger sharing-style pizza if fewer boxes matter, or thin-base pizzas when that texture is a priority. Plan quantities from each pack’s serving guidance, then check that the pizzas fit your oven schedule and meet guests’ dietary requirements.
The useful distinction for a party is not simply how many pizzas you buy, but whether their flavours, labelled servings and cooking instructions work together.
Several flavours let you offer guests a choice. Sainsbury’s Groceries lists own-label vegetable and double-pepperoni examples in 390g and 339g packs respectively; check each pack’s servings and ingredients when working out the mix.
A larger format may simplify the number of boxes to handle. Sainsbury’s Groceries lists a 532g Goodfella’s New York Style pepperoni pizza, but its weight alone does not establish how many guests it will feed or whether it fits your oven.
Thin bases, meat-free flavours and specific dietary variants may all matter to guests. Choose by the exact product rather than the brand or flavour name, and read its current ingredients and allergen statement.
Consider this when: You would rather offer a mix of toppings than rely on one large pizza.
Bear in mind: The 339g and 390g Sainsbury’s examples have different toppings; check each product’s serving guidance and dietary details separately.
Consider this when: Handling fewer boxes matters more than offering many separate flavours.
Bear in mind: The 532g Goodfella’s example listed by Sainsbury’s still needs a serving-count and oven-fit check.
Consider this when: Guests specifically prefer a thin base or a particular topping.
Bear in mind: The cited Goodfella’s Stonebaked Thin and Dr. Oetker Ristorante examples each describe one pizza as two servings; their cooking directions differ.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Read the pack weight and declared servings. Use serving guidance to plan a mixed buffet rather than treating every box as equal. | I need enough different pizzas for the group without assuming that a larger pack provides a fixed number of guest portions. |
| Oven schedule | Compare each pack’s oven setting, cooking time and space requirements. Tesco Groceries gives 15–17 minutes for its cited Goodfella’s Stonebaked Thin Margherita; Sainsbury’s Groceries gives 10–14 minutes for its cited Dr. Oetker Ristorante examples. | Can I cook the chosen pizzas in manageable batches while following each product’s directions? |
| Guest requirements | Check the exact variant’s ingredients, allergen declaration and any may-contain wording. Do not infer dietary suitability from a cheese topping or a thin base. | I want guests with dietary requirements to have a clearly identified option, not one chosen by its flavour name alone. |
| Frozen storage | Check the space available before the party and follow each pack’s storage and thawing instructions. Cited Goodfella’s and Dr. Oetker product pages specify frozen storage at −18°C or colder and say not to refreeze after thawing. | If I shop ahead, I need somewhere to keep the pizzas frozen until I cook them. |
Several cited Goodfella’s and Dr. Oetker pizzas state two servings per pack, but pack sizes and oven instructions differ. Box count alone is a poor way to organise portions or cooking batches.
Read the serving guidance on every chosen pack and plan batches around its own cooking directions and the space in your oven.
A cheese, vegetable or thin-base pizza is not automatically suitable for someone avoiding particular ingredients. Cited standard variants list cereals containing gluten and milk.
Ask guests about their requirements before choosing, then check the exact pack’s ingredients, allergen statement and may-contain wording.
A format that suits the menu still needs to be obtainable when you shop. Frozen pizzas also take up storage space before the event.
Confirm availability and delivery arrangements closer to New Year’s Eve, and check that you can keep the chosen packs frozen.
These examples illustrate formats and flavours to compare; a brand name does not establish the ingredients or serving count of every pizza in its range.
Tesco Groceries lists Stonebaked Thin pizzas in 332g and 334g packs, while Sainsbury’s Groceries lists a 532g New York Style pepperoni example.
The cited Sainsbury’s Groceries Hawaii and Pepperoni-Salame products describe thin and crispy bases.
Joybuy’s Chicago Town category listing includes stuffed-crust and Tiger Crust examples in different pack sizes.
Sainsbury’s Groceries lists a 390g Vegetable Pizza and a 339g Double Pepperoni Thin Pizza as two different options for a mixed menu.
These Joybuy options cover a thin Margherita, a smaller Pizza Express pizza and several Chicago Town stuffed-crust formats. Compare their pack details with the flavours and oven batches planned for your party.

A thin-base Margherita to consider alongside other party flavours. Tesco Groceries describes the matching 334g pizza as two servings; check its current pack for allergens and cooking directions.
No image available
A 320g option when planning a party mix with different toppings. Check the current pack’s serving guidance, allergens and cooking settings before assigning it to an oven batch.

The 630g stuffed-crust cheese format is an option when you want a larger pizza in the mix. Check its labelled servings, allergens and dimensions before planning portions or oven space.

This 640 g stuffed-crust meat feast offers a different topping choice from the cheese pizza. Check the exact pack’s servings, allergen declaration and oven directions when arranging the party menu.

The 635g stuffed-crust pizza adds a honey BBQ and salami flavour to the selection. Use its own pack guidance for portions and cooking, and check the allergen statement for your guests.
Start with each pack’s weight and stated servings, then consider whether its flavour adds a useful choice for guests. Weight alone cannot tell you how many party portions a pizza will provide.
Use the exact pack’s serving guidance as a planning starting point, not a guarantee that every guest will eat the same amount. The cited Goodfella’s Stonebaked Thin and Dr. Oetker Ristorante product pages each state two servings per pizza.
No. A topping name does not establish allergen or dietary suitability; cited standard pizzas contain cereals containing gluten and milk. Check the current pack’s full ingredients, allergen declaration and any may-contain wording against each guest’s requirements.
Follow the exact product’s instructions rather than assuming you can put it back in the freezer. The cited Goodfella’s and Dr. Oetker pages specify storage at −18°C or colder and say not to refreeze after thawing.
Only group pizzas when their own pack instructions and your oven allow it. Tesco Groceries gives 200°C conventional or 180°C fan and 15–17 minutes for the cited Goodfella’s Stonebaked Thin Margherita, while the cited Sainsbury’s Groceries Dr. Oetker Ristorante products specify 220°C conventional or 200°C fan and different cooking times.
