Choose two individually packed pizzas if you want meals on separate days, or a twin pack if smaller individual pizzas suit you. A large sharing pizza serves a different occasion; whichever format you choose, check that the packs fit your freezer and that the portions, allergens and cooking instructions suit your household.
If you want pizzas for two separate winter meals, check whether both packs fit alongside the food already in your freezer. Freezer capacity can constrain frozen-food shopping, as the British Frozen Food Federation reports.
Two individually packed pizzas let you choose separate flavours and cooking occasions. Check the weight and stated servings of each rather than assuming two packs will provide the same number of portions.
A twin pack of smaller pizzas may suit separate lunches, while one large pizza may suit a meal together. Asda lists Chicago Town Deep Dish BBQ Chicken as 2 x 160g and Chicago Town Stuffed Crust Loaded Pepperoni as one 640g pizza with four stated servings.
Start with how many separate meals you need, then check freezer fit and the instructions for each exact pizza.
Choose when: You want different flavours or meals on different days.
Bear in mind: Two individual packs must both fit in the freezer.
Choose when: Two smaller individual pizzas suit the occasions you have in mind; Asda lists Chicago Town Deep Dish BBQ Chicken as 2 x 160g.
Bear in mind: Check whether the pack has the flavour and cooking method you need.
Choose when: You plan to eat together rather than keep pizzas for two separate occasions; Asda lists four servings for its 640g Chicago Town Stuffed Crust Loaded Pepperoni.
Bear in mind: One large pizza does not provide two separately packed meals.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Freezer fit | Check the space available for the actual packs and whether they can be stored as their labels require. | I want both pizzas to fit without moving the other food I keep frozen. |
| Portions | Read the pack weight, number of pizzas and stated servings. A twin pack and one large pizza serve different plans. | Will I use these on separate days, or am I planning one meal to share? |
| Cooking | Check the exact pack for an approved appliance, temperature and time; allow for preheating where instructed. | I need a method that works with the oven or air fryer I intend to use. |
| Allergens | Read the ingredient list, allergen declaration and precautionary statements for the exact flavour. | Everyone eating the pizza needs to be able to use that particular product, not just another pizza from the same brand. |
| Nutrition | Compare the stated serving size and nutrition information on each pack, using the same basis where possible. | If these will be regular meals, I want to understand what the label says for the portion I plan to serve. |
A large pack may be awkward to store even if its stated servings suit the household.
Check the available flat space against the pack before choosing between a sharing pizza and two separate ones.
Asda lists 7.6g saturated fat per half pizza for Goodfella's Stonebaked Thin Margherita Three Cheese and 10g per quarter pizza for Chicago Town Stuffed Crust Loaded Pepperoni. Those are different products and different stated portions, not a like-for-like comparison.
Read the exact flavour's allergen and nutrition panels, including the portion size used for each figure.
Dr. Oetker UK gives 10–13 minutes for Ristorante Pepperoni-Salame in a fan oven at 200°C, while Chicago Town gives 18–23 minutes at 180°C for its Takeaway Cheese Stuffed Crust Loaded Cheese. These instructions apply to different products.
Follow the method and time on the pizza you buy, and ensure it is thoroughly cooked before serving.
These examples show how formats and labels can differ; check the particular pizza rather than applying one product's details to an entire range.

Choose two separate pizzas if you need meals on different days or want different flavours; choose one large pizza if you plan to share it at one meal. Asda states that its 640g Chicago Town Stuffed Crust Loaded Pepperoni serves four, but check that its pack fits your freezer.
