If you want to cook one pizza and leave another frozen for a later meal, look for a pack of separately cookable pizzas rather than assuming a larger pizza will work the same way. Chicago Town’s 2 x 157g Deep Dish Mega Meaty pack offers that format, while the Goodfella’s 334g Margherita and Dr. Oetker 320g Pepperoni-Salame are whole pizzas labelled as two servings. A whole pizza can still suit a larger meal or planned sharing; check the exact pack’s cooking, storage and allergen information before choosing.
A pack containing two separate pizzas lets you cook one and keep the other frozen. Chicago Town’s Deep Dish Mega Meaty pack contains two 157g pizzas; a whole pizza labelled as two servings calls for a different meal or sharing plan.
Check the exact pizza rather than the pack size. Chicago Town gives microwave instructions for one Deep Dish Mega Meaty pizza at a time, while the other whole-pizza examples here should be assessed against their own cooking directions.
Read the ingredient and allergen statements for the exact variant. For example, Dr. Oetker says its vegan Ristorante Pepperoni-Salame pizza may contain traces of milk constituents, so a vegan name does not settle a milk-allergy question.
Start with the number of separate pizzas in the pack, then check how the one you intend to eat must be cooked and how the remainder must be stored.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack format | Check whether the stated weight covers separate pizzas or one whole pizza. Chicago Town lists 314g as 2 x 157g; Goodfella’s lists a whole 334g pizza as two servings. | I’d like to cook one pizza now and keep another frozen, rather than plan around part of a whole pizza. |
| Cooking method | Read the directions for the exact variant and appliance. Chicago Town gives a three-minute microwave time at 800W or 900W for one Deep Dish Mega Meaty pizza, followed by a one-minute stand; that timing does not apply to other pizzas. | With only a microwave available, I need a pack that explicitly gives microwave instructions. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the current ingredients, allergen declaration and precautionary statements for the exact pizza. Dr. Oetker’s vegan Ristorante Pepperoni-Salame carries a milk-trace warning. | A vegan label alone would not answer my question about milk allergens. |
| Frozen storage | Check the storage and defrosting directions before planning a second meal. The Goodfella’s Margherita listing specifies storage at −18°C or colder and says not to refreeze after defrosting. | If I’m saving pizza for another day, I want a format I can leave frozen until I’m ready to cook it. |
A whole pizza labelled as two servings does not give you the same cook-one-now arrangement as two individual pizzas.
Look for an explicit pack count, such as 2 x 157g, if keeping an uncooked pizza frozen is central to your plan.
Cooking directions differ by product and format. A microwave time supplied for one Chicago Town deep-dish pizza is not a direction for a whole thin pizza.
Check the exact pack for an approved cooking method, appliance setting and time before buying.
Dr. Oetker’s vegan Ristorante Pepperoni-Salame pizza states that it may contain traces of milk constituents.
For an allergen-related choice, read the current ingredients and precautionary statement for the exact product.
The Goodfella’s Margherita listing says not to refreeze after defrosting. That matters if a whole pizza is being bought with a later meal in mind.
Follow the product’s storage and cooking directions; choose separate frozen pizzas if you want to cook them on different days.
A brand may offer several crust and pack formats, so use the named product—not the brand alone—to judge portions and cooking requirements.
Chicago Town lists Deep Dish alongside other pizza ranges. Its Fully Loaded Deep Dish Mega Meaty is a two-pizza, 314g pack relevant to cooking one pizza at a time.
Goodfella’s lists Stonebaked Thin, Takeaway, Deep Pan and gluten-free pizza ranges. Its 334g Stonebaked Thin Margherita is one whole pizza labelled as two servings.
Dr. Oetker lists conventional, gluten-free and vegan pizzas in its Ristorante range. The 320g Pepperoni-Salame example is a whole pizza described as serving two.
This whole-pizza option is for a solo shopper planning a larger meal or sharing, rather than cooking one pizza from a two-pizza pack.

This is one whole pizza labelled as two servings, so it suits a planned larger meal or sharing rather than cooking one separate pizza and leaving another frozen. The listing identifies half a pizza as a 167g serving and says to store it frozen at −18°C or colder and not to refreeze it after defrosting. Check the pack’s cooking directions for your appliance.
It can be if you plan to share it or want to cook the whole pizza for a larger meal. If you want one pizza now and another left frozen, check for separate pizzas in the pack: Chicago Town’s Deep Dish Mega Meaty contains 2 x 157g, whereas the Goodfella’s 334g Margherita is one pizza labelled as two servings.
Yes, when that exact product gives directions for doing so. Chicago Town instructs shoppers to microwave one Deep Dish Mega Meaty pizza at a time for three minutes at 800W or 900W, then leave it to stand for one minute. Do not apply those directions to another pizza.
Do not assume you can. The Goodfella’s Margherita listing says not to refreeze after defrosting. Follow the exact pack’s directions rather than relying on its two-serving label as a plan for keeping an uncooked portion.
No. Dr. Oetker states that its vegan Ristorante Pepperoni-Salame may contain traces of milk constituents. Check the current allergen and precautionary statements on the exact pack if milk is a concern.
