People planning freezer meals for one
If you want to cook one pizza without dividing an uncooked one, look for a pack that declares each pizza a serving. Tesco Groceries lists the Chicago Town Deep Dish Four Cheese two-pack this way.
Who these formats suit
Shoppers planning portions in advance
If a pizza will cover more than one meal, compare the nutrition information for the portion you intend to eat. As the NHS explains, labels give values per 100g and sometimes per portion; the labelled portion may not be yours.
Shoppers with dietary requirements
Check the ingredients, allergens and suitability statement for the exact flavour and size. A vegan or vegetarian label does not replace an allergen check.
What to check before buying
Start with the number of pizzas in the pack and its serving declaration. Then compare the portion you will eat with the nutrition label and the pack’s cooking and storage directions.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| One-meal portion | Count the pizzas and read the serving declaration. Tesco Groceries states that its Chicago Town Deep Dish Four Cheese two-pack contains two 148g pizzas and that one pizza is one serving. | I want to take one pizza from the freezer without dividing an uncooked pizza. |
| Nutrition per meal | Compare energy, saturates and salt for the amount you plan to eat, not just per 100g. Check whether the label’s portion is a whole, half or other fraction of a pizza; the NHS notes that labelled portions may differ from what you eat. | If I plan to eat part of a larger pizza, I need figures that relate to that part rather than the whole pack. |
| Dietary suitability | Read the current ingredient, allergen and suitability statements for the exact variant. Do not use a vegan or vegetarian label as an allergen statement. | An ingredient or allergen requirement determines which flavour and variant I can choose. |
| Cooking and storage | Check that the stated method suits your appliance, then follow the pack’s frozen-storage and cooking instructions. ASDA Groceries lists air-fryer, oven and microwave methods for Chicago Town Deep Dish Four Cheese; its Goodfella’s Stonebaked Thin Margherita listing says not to refreeze after defrosting. | I need a cooking method I can use and a workable plan for any pizza left for another meal. |
Portion-planning mistakes to avoid
-
Assuming a small-looking pizza is one serving
ASDA Groceries lists its Goodfella’s 334g Stonebaked Thin Margherita as two servings, and Tesco Groceries says its Dr Oetker Ristorante Vegan Margherita pizza serves two people. Eating either whole is not the labelled portion.
Read the serving declaration before deciding whether to cook a whole pizza or plan for another meal.
-
Assuming “mini” settles the nutrition comparison
Pack size alone does not tell you the energy, saturates or salt in the amount you will eat.
Compare labels on the same basis: one mini pizza against the portion you intend to eat from a larger pizza.
-
Using a dietary label as an allergen check
Vegan and vegetarian statements describe dietary suitability, not the full ingredient and allergen information needed for an individual product.
Read the current pack for the exact variant, including any precautionary allergen statement.
-
Planning to thaw and refreeze a pizza
ASDA Groceries says its Goodfella’s Stonebaked Thin Margherita should be stored at −18°C or cooler and not refrozen after defrosting.
For separate meal occasions, consider a pack of separate pizzas, or follow the larger pizza’s instructions when planning what to do with a cooked remainder.
Relevant pizza ranges
Chicago Town
The Deep Dish Four Cheese two-pack is relevant when you want a whole pizza for each meal: Tesco Groceries states that each 148g pizza is one serving.
- ASDA Groceries lists air-fryer, oven and microwave methods for that Four Cheese pack.
- Check nutrition and allergens for the pizza you choose; the mini format does not answer those questions on its own.
Goodfella's
Goodfella’s describes a range that includes Stonebaked Thin, Takeaway, Deep Pan and snacking pizzas. Its 334g Stonebaked Thin Margherita is a larger-pizza option for planned portions.
- ASDA Groceries labels that Margherita pack as containing two servings.
- For that product, follow the frozen-storage instructions and do not refreeze it after defrosting.
Dr Oetker Ristorante
Dr. Oetker UK lists vegan and gluten-free pizzas within its Ristorante range. Check the exact variant rather than treating those descriptions as interchangeable.
- Tesco Groceries labels the 340g Vegan Margherita Pomodori as suitable for vegans.
- Tesco Groceries says that whole Vegan Margherita pizza serves two people, so it is not a cook-one-mini-pizza format.
Pizza formats in context
This illustrative order uses the cited Tesco Groceries, ASDA Groceries and Joybuy product listings: an explicit one-pizza serving comes first, followed by a separate-pizza format and then larger pizzas to portion. Cooking options and fit for a one-person freezer plan inform the order; it is not a taste or overall-quality ranking.
| Rank | Pizza | Main details | Why it appears here | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Chicago Town Deep Dish Four Cheese Pizzas, 2 × 148g | Two pizzas; one pizza is one serving. | Tesco Groceries states the serving basis, while ASDA Groceries lists air-fryer, oven and microwave methods. Check the pack’s nutrition and allergens for the meal you plan. | Tesco / ASDA |
| 2 | Chicago Town Original Deep Dish Pepperoni Pizzas, 2 × 155g | Two separate 155g pizzas. | The Joybuy listing identifies a two-pizza format, but that alone does not establish its declared serving size. The cited listing marks this product unavailable. | Joybuy |
| 3 | Goodfella's Stonebaked Thin Margherita Three Cheese Pizza, 334g | One pizza; two labelled servings. | ASDA Groceries lists two servings for the pack. It suits a plan to eat part of a larger pizza, rather than cooking one separate mini pizza per meal. | ASDA |
| 4 | Dr Oetker Ristorante Vegan Margherita Pomodori Pizza, 340g | One vegan pizza; the whole pizza serves two. | Tesco Groceries confirms the serving basis and vegan suitability. Check the exact pack’s allergens and plan how you will use the second portion. | Tesco |
Joybuy pizzas to consider
These are larger frozen pizzas to consider if you intend to plan portions from a whole pizza. Check each pack’s serving declaration before treating a fraction as one labelled serving.

Questions about freezer meal planning
How can I tell whether a frozen pizza is one serving?
Read the serving declaration, not just the pizza’s size. Tesco Groceries says one pizza in its Chicago Town Deep Dish Four Cheese two-pack is one serving; its Dr Oetker Ristorante Vegan Margherita listing says the whole pizza serves two.
Can I cook one pizza from a two-pizza pack and save the other?
A pack of separate pizzas can let you cook one while keeping the other frozen. Check the pack’s storage and cooking instructions; Tesco Groceries states that the Chicago Town Deep Dish Four Cheese pack contains two pizzas, each labelled as one serving.
Should I thaw a frozen pizza before cooking it?
Follow the directions for the exact pizza. ASDA Groceries instructs shoppers to keep its Goodfella’s Stonebaked Thin Margherita frozen and not refreeze it after defrosting; do not substitute a thaw-and-refreeze routine for those instructions.
Does a mini pizza necessarily contain less salt than a larger one?
Its size alone cannot settle that comparison. Read the salt value for the mini pizza and for the portion you intend to eat from the larger pizza, using the same basis for both. The NHS explains that labels provide values per 100g and sometimes per portion.
Is a vegan frozen pizza automatically suitable for someone avoiding wheat or milk?
No: vegan suitability is not an allergen statement. Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current pack for the exact flavour and size before choosing it.
