Shoppers keeping two meals in reserve
If plans change or a takeaway needs an extra dish, two frozen pizzas provide separate options. Check that both boxes fit your freezer and that the pack sizes suit the number of people eating.
Who is stocking the freezer?
Households with different topping preferences
Two smaller pizzas let diners choose different toppings instead of sharing one flavour. Check each exact pack’s ingredients and dietary labelling; a cheese-topped pizza is not automatically suitable for every guest.
Groups sharing pizza as part of the meal
A larger stuffed-crust pizza is another format to consider when pizza will be shared. Allow room in the freezer and oven, and check whether its instructions call for a baking tray.
What should you check before buying two?
Decide who will eat each pizza, then check whether two packs fit your storage and cooking plans.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Portions and format | Compare each pack’s weight and stated servings. A 330g Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza Speciale and a 640g Chicago Town stuffed-crust pepperoni pizza represent different meal formats, according to their respective product information. | Will each person have a separate pizza, or am I planning to share pizza with the group? Two smaller packs give me more freedom to choose different toppings. |
| Freezer space | Measure the space for both boxes rather than judging by pizza weight. Follow each pack’s frozen-storage and best-before instructions; GOV.UK advises keeping a domestic freezer around -18°C. | I want both pizzas ready for a change of dinner plans without having to rearrange the freezer at the last minute. |
| Oven plan | Check the method and time for each exact pizza, particularly if cooking two together. Dr. Oetker states 10–13 minutes for its Ristorante Pizza Speciale; Chicago Town states 18–23 minutes in a fan oven for its Takeaway Cheese Stuffed Crust Loaded Pepperoni. Those times apply to those products, not every pizza in either range. | If the oven is also needed for other food, I need to know whether the pizzas require shelves, trays or different timings. |
| Toppings and dietary fit | Read the ingredients, allergen statement and dietary label on both exact packs. The cited ASDA Four Cheese Stonebaked Pizza is labelled suitable for vegetarians but contains wheat and milk; the cited Goodfella’s pepperoni pizza contains wheat, milk and pork pepperoni. | One pizza may need to suit someone avoiding meat or a particular ingredient. I cannot rely on the topping’s appearance to answer that. |
| Eating style | Choose between thin or stonebaked bases, stuffed crust and wood-fired sourdough-style bases according to the meal you have in mind. Check toppings and stated servings rather than treating a format label as a quality measure. | Is pizza a small addition to our takeaway night, or will it be the shared centre of the meal? |
What can catch you out?
-
Assuming every box makes the same-sized meal
The product examples here range from ASDA’s 315g Four Cheese pizza to Chicago Town’s 640g stuffed-crust pepperoni pizza. Two boxes therefore do not necessarily provide the same portions or topping choice.
Compare the net weight, stated servings and who will eat each pizza before choosing two.
-
Choosing by crust style without checking the clock
Chicago Town states an 18–23 minute fan-oven cook plus standing time for its cited stuffed-crust pepperoni pizza; Dr. Oetker states 10–13 minutes for its cited Ristorante Pizza Speciale.
If dinner needs to be quick, check the cooking time and oven method on the exact packs you plan to use.
-
Discarding the box before cooking
The exact pack carries storage, cooking and allergen instructions that matter when a pizza has been kept as a freezer backup.
Keep the instructions available, follow the stated storage conditions and check the ingredient and allergen information before serving guests.
Which pizza formats do these brands offer?
These examples illustrate formats to compare; each detail applies to the named product, not every pizza from its brand.
Goodfella’s
Its Stonebaked Thin Pepperoni is a 332g thin-pizza example for a smaller-format freezer option.
- Goodfella’s states a 15–17 minute cook directly on an oven shelf for this pizza.
- The cited pepperoni pizza contains wheat, milk and pork pepperoni; check the pack for anyone with dietary restrictions.
Dr. Oetker
Ristorante Pizza Speciale is a 330g thin-pizza option with a stated 10–13 minute oven cook.
- The stated cooking time helps when planning when to put this pizza in the oven.
- Pizza Speciale contains wheat, cheese and pork-based meat; check the exact flavour rather than assuming the range shares one ingredient list.
Chicago Town
Takeaway Cheese Stuffed Crust Loaded Pepperoni is a 640g stuffed-crust format to consider for sharing.
- Chicago Town gives an 18–23 minute fan-oven cooking time for this named pizza.
- This product requires a baking tray and a two-minute stand before serving, so include both in the oven plan.
Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference
The cited mozzarella and marinated cherry tomato pizza is a 400g wood-fired, sourdough-style option.
- Sainsbury’s lists this particular pizza as two servings.
- It contains wheat and milk; check its full allergen statement if cooking for guests.
ASDA
Its Four Cheese Stonebaked Pizza is a 315g own-label option for comparison with larger formats.
- ASDA labels this exact Four Cheese pizza suitable for vegetarians.
- It contains wheat and milk, so the vegetarian label does not answer allergen questions.

This 355g Ristorante Hawaii pizza offers another topping choice among the smaller-format options. Check this flavour’s own serving guidance, cooking instructions and ingredients rather than using those of Ristorante Pizza Speciale.
Questions about storing and cooking them
Can I keep two frozen pizzas ready for another night?
Yes, provided you have space to store both as their packs direct. GOV.UK advises keeping a domestic freezer around -18°C and following label instructions for freezing and defrosting. The cited Goodfella’s Stonebaked Thin Pepperoni pack says to store it at -18°C or cooler and not to refreeze it after defrosting.
Can I cook both pizzas at once?
Check both exact packs and your oven’s instructions before doing so: the pizzas need the specified shelf or tray placement and enough room to cook as directed. The cited Goodfella’s and Dr. Oetker thin pizzas use an oven shelf, while Chicago Town specifies a baking tray for its cited stuffed-crust pepperoni pizza. Follow each pack’s cooking instructions before serving.
Is a cheese pizza suitable for every vegetarian or allergy-sensitive guest?
No. ASDA labels its cited Four Cheese Stonebaked Pizza suitable for vegetarians, but that pizza contains wheat and milk. Check the current ingredients, allergen statement and dietary label on each exact pack; a different flavour may have different ingredients.
