Families sharing one pizza
If everyone agrees on a topping, check the stated servings for the exact pizza rather than deciding from its weight. ASDA lists four servings for Chicago Town Loaded Cheese 630g.
Who is this choice for?
Households with different preferences
Separate pizzas let people choose different toppings or formats. Check ingredients and allergen declarations for each variant, even when two pizzas come from the same brand.
Shoppers arranging a frozen delivery
Choose a delivery time when someone can unpack the order promptly and make room in the freezer. GOV.UK advises putting frozen food away as soon as it is delivered.
What should you check before ordering?
One pizza to share
Choose when: Everyone wants the same topping and the exact pack states enough servings; ASDA lists four for Chicago Town Loaded Cheese 630g.
Trade-off: A large box alone does not establish the serving count. Tesco's Goodfella's New York Style Fully Loaded Pepperoni 532g listing states two servings.
Several thinner pizzas
Choose when: Different toppings or dietary requirements make one shared pizza impractical.
Trade-off: Check the servings, allergens and oven instructions for every pizza in the order, not just one of them.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Servings | Read the stated servings on the exact pack. Compare its nutrition using the same serving fraction rather than treating pack weight as a portion count. | I need enough portions for the people eating. ASDA lists four servings for Chicago Town Loaded Cheese 630g; Tesco lists two for Goodfella's New York Style Fully Loaded Pepperoni 532g. |
| Ingredients | Check the current ingredients and allergen declaration for each flavour, then check the boxes delivered. Do not transfer details from another pizza in the range. | If someone needs to avoid an ingredient, I need to assess their chosen pizza separately. The Chicago Town Loaded Cheese 630g listing from ASDA identifies milk and wheat. |
| Cooking | Check whether the pack says to cook from frozen, its oven settings and timing, and whether your oven has space for everything ordered. | Meal timing matters when I am cooking several pizzas. Tesco lists 15–17 minutes for Goodfella's Stonebaked Thin Pepperoni 332g and 19–20 minutes for its New York Style Fully Loaded Pepperoni 532g; follow each pack's full instructions. |
| Nutrition | Compare per 100g and per serving, noting whether a serving is a half or a quarter pizza. Check the fraction likely to be served. | I want to compare portions on a consistent basis. Tesco lists 13g saturated fat and 3.3g salt per half of Goodfella's New York Style Fully Loaded Pepperoni 532g; ASDA lists 9g saturated fat and 1.5g salt per quarter of Chicago Town Loaded Cheese 630g. |
| Delivery | Check the pack's storage instructions and make freezer space before the delivery arrives. GOV.UK advises putting frozen food in the freezer as soon as it is delivered. | I need to be able to unpack the frozen items promptly, rather than leave the order waiting while I am out. |
Common ordering mistakes
-
Assuming the heaviest pizza feeds the most people
Tesco lists two servings for Goodfella's New York Style Fully Loaded Pepperoni 532g, while ASDA lists four for Chicago Town Loaded Cheese 630g. Weight does not replace the pack's serving statement.
Check servings for each exact pizza and order additional pizzas if the stated portions do not cover the household.
-
Using another flavour's allergen information
Ingredients and allergen declarations are specific to the pizza selected. A declaration for one topping or crust cannot establish what is in another.
Read the declaration for every selected variant online and check the delivered boxes before cooking.
-
Leaving frozen pizza out after delivery
GOV.UK advises putting frozen food in the freezer as soon as it is delivered. Storage and defrosting directions can also differ by product.
Arrange a delivery time when you can unpack promptly, make freezer space and follow each box's storage instructions.

Frequently asked questions
How many frozen pizzas should I order for a family?
Start with the stated servings for each exact pizza, then consider what else you are serving and how much each person expects to eat. ASDA lists four servings for Chicago Town Loaded Cheese 630g, while Tesco lists two for Goodfella's Stonebaked Thin Pepperoni 332g and Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pepperoni-Salame 320g; weight alone does not tell you the portion count.
What should I do when a frozen pizza delivery arrives?
Put the frozen pizzas in the freezer promptly and follow their pack storage instructions. GOV.UK advises putting frozen food away as soon as it is delivered and says the freezer should be around −18°C.
Should I defrost a frozen pizza before cooking?
Follow the instructions for that pizza rather than defrosting it by default. GOV.UK says to follow the manufacturer's directions where a food is intended to cook from frozen; Tesco's Goodfella's pepperoni examples give cooking-from-frozen instructions.
How can I check allergens when ordering several flavours?
Read the ingredient and allergen declaration for each exact flavour, then check the boxes delivered before serving. The product examples include wheat and milk declarations, but one pizza's label cannot establish the ingredients of another variant.
