For two people, start with a pizza that gives serving or nutrition information per half, then decide whether half each will suit the meal you have planned. A shared pizza works when both diners want the same topping; two individual pizzas allow different choices but need their own oven time. Check the exact pack for cooking instructions and allergens, particularly when choosing a vegan or gluten-free product.
If pizza is the main dish rather than part of a spread, consider what each person will have alongside their half. Goodfella's Stonebaked Thin Margherita defines a serving as half a pizza; that serving statement helps you divide it, but does not decide whether the meal is enough for you.
Two individual pizzas let each person choose a topping. Chicago Town describes its Deep Dish range as pizza for one. For a dietary requirement, check the particular product's ingredients and precautionary allergen statements: Dr. Oetker's vegan and gluten-free pizzas carry different warnings.
Check where the pizzas will fit before buying extras for the evening. The British Frozen Food Federation identifies limited freezer space as a consideration in its reporting on UK frozen-food shoppers.
Decide whether one pizza is being shared or each person is having their own, then check the serving information, oven instructions and ingredients on the exact product.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Portions | Read the stated serving size and nutrition basis. Goodfella's Stonebaked Thin Margherita states half a pizza per serving; Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pollo gives nutrition per half pizza. Neither statement determines how much food you personally need. | Will half a pizza each be the whole dinner, or are we serving other party food? If we want different toppings, two individual pizzas may be simpler than sharing one. |
| Oven time | Check the cooking method, temperature, shelf position and time for your chosen pizza. Dr. Oetker lists 11–13 minutes at 200°C fan for Ristorante Pollo; Chicago Town lists 20–22 minutes at 190°C fan for Deep Dish Pepperoni. | If other food needs the oven, I want to know whether the pizzas can be cooked on the schedule I have in mind. |
| Ingredients | Read the current pack's ingredient list and allergen statements. Dr. Oetker says its Ristorante Vegan Pepperoni-Salame may contain traces of milk constituents; its Gluten Free Mozzarella contains milk proteins and may contain soy and mustard. | One of us needs to avoid an ingredient, so a broad vegan or gluten-free label is not enough to settle the choice. |
| Storage | Check freezer space and follow the chosen pack's storage directions. Goodfella's Stonebaked Thin Margherita specifies frozen storage at -18°C and says not to refreeze it after defrosting. | I'd rather choose a quantity that fits our freezer and the two-person meal than make room for several pizzas we may not use. |
A pizza can be divided in half without each half necessarily making the meal you want. Serving information is more useful for planning the split than the pack weight on its own.
Check the serving statement and per-half information, then decide whether to serve sides or choose a different format if pizza is the whole dinner.
Dr. Oetker's Ristorante Pollo instructions state 11–13 minutes at 200°C fan, while Chicago Town's Deep Dish Pepperoni states 20–22 minutes at 190°C fan. A planned cooking slot for one is not an instruction for the other.
Before buying, check the exact pizza's cooking method, temperature and time against anything else you intend to put in the oven.
Dr. Oetker's Ristorante Vegan Pepperoni-Salame may contain traces of milk constituents. Its Gluten Free Mozzarella contains milk proteins and may contain soy and mustard.
For an allergy, read the current pack's ingredients, highlighted allergens and precautionary statements for the exact pizza being served.
Extra pizzas need freezer space until they are cooked. The British Frozen Food Federation identifies limited freezer space as a barrier for some UK frozen-food shoppers.
Check your freezer capacity and the live listing or local stock before making a particular flavour central to the evening's plans.
These ranges offer different formats to investigate; the right choice still depends on the individual pizza's serving information, ingredients and cooking directions.
Goodfella's lists Stonebaked Thin, Takeaway and Deep Pan pizzas alongside smaller snacking formats.
The range includes thin-and-crispy pizzas and specific vegan and gluten-free products.
Chicago Town's range includes individual Deep Dish pizzas as well as Thin & Crispy and larger formats.

Sainsbury's frozen-pizza listings include own-label thin pizzas and products from other pizza ranges.
These are single-pizza options to consider sharing between two on New Year's Eve. Check the serving guidance for each one and decide whether pizza alone or pizza with sides suits your meal.

This 332g stonebaked thin pepperoni pizza gives two diners a way to plan a half each using its per-half nutrition information. Confirm the pack's serving guidance, allergens and cooking time before choosing it for the meal.
One pizza can provide two stated portions, but whether it makes the meal you want depends on the product and what else you serve. Goodfella's Stonebaked Thin Margherita defines a serving as half a pizza, while Dr. Oetker gives nutrition per half of its Ristorante Pollo. Check the chosen pack and consider sides if pizza alone does not suit your plans.
Share one when both diners want the same topping and its portions suit the meal. Two individual pizzas make separate topping choices easier; Chicago Town describes its Deep Dish range as pizza for one. Check the cooking instructions if both need oven space.
No. Dr. Oetker says its Ristorante Vegan Pepperoni-Salame may contain traces of milk constituents, while its Gluten Free Mozzarella contains milk proteins and may contain soy and mustard. Read the current pack for the exact product before serving someone with an allergy.
Use the instructions on the pizza you buy and ensure it is thoroughly cooked. Dr. Oetker lists 11–13 minutes at 200°C fan for Ristorante Pollo; Chicago Town lists 20–22 minutes at 190°C fan for Deep Dish Pepperoni. Allow for other food needing the oven rather than applying either time to a different pizza.
Follow the storage statement on the particular pack. Goodfella's Stonebaked Thin Margherita says not to refreeze it after defrosting, so do not assume that putting a defrosted pizza back in the freezer is an option.
