Choose two individual pizzas if people may eat at different times; choose thin pizzas if a shorter oven cook matters; or choose one larger pizza for a planned shared meal. Check the exact pack’s servings, cooking instructions, allergens and frozen-storage directions before deciding, as these differ between products.
Who is each format for?
Small households with staggered meals
A pack of two individually portioned pizzas lets people cook their meals separately. For example, ASDA lists the Chicago Town Deep Dish Four Cheese pack as two pizzas, with one pizza counted as one serving. Check that the pack fits alongside your other freezer food.
Hosts planning a shared meal
A single larger pizza may be easier to plan around when guests will eat together and an oven is available. ASDA labels its 630 g Chicago Town Loaded Cheese stuffed-crust pizza as four servings and gives a fan-oven cooking time of approximately 18–23 minutes.
Shoppers with a short oven window
A thin-crust pizza is worth considering when cooking time matters more than a large sharing format. Goodfella's gives a 12–14 minute oven guideline for its Thin Crust Pepperoni; check the instructions on the variant you buy.
What should you check before buying?
Start with when people will eat and which appliance you can use, then check portions, freezer space and the exact ingredients.
| Priority |
What to check |
Your needs |
| Freezer fit |
Check the dimensions of the packs against the space available. Follow each pack’s frozen-storage instructions; Goodfella's specifies −18°C for its Thin Crust Pepperoni. |
I need the pizzas to fit alongside other food without relying on space I have not cleared. |
| Portions |
Read both the number of pizzas and the declared servings. ASDA lists one serving per pizza for its Chicago Town two-pack, but four servings for its 630 g Loaded Cheese pizza. |
If people will eat at different times, separate portions make more sense for my plans. For a shared meal, I need to judge the stated servings against the rest of the menu. |
| Cooking |
Confirm the permitted appliance, temperature and time on the exact pack. ASDA says to air fry only one pizza at a time from its Chicago Town Deep Dish Four Cheese two-pack. |
Will I have an oven free when everyone wants food, or do I need a pack with instructions for another appliance? |
| Ingredients |
Check the exact variant’s ingredients, declared allergens and any dietary-suitability statement. A vegetarian cheese pizza is not necessarily suitable for someone avoiding milk or wheat. |
I want each guest to be able to check what is in their pizza rather than relying on the flavour name. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming two pizzas mean two comparable meals
Pack count does not tell you the portion size. ASDA labels each pizza in its Chicago Town Deep Dish Four Cheese two-pack as one serving, while its single 630 g Loaded Cheese pizza is labelled as four servings.
Use the pack’s declared servings and the rest of your menu to plan how much to put in the freezer.
-
Assuming every pizza works in the same appliance
ASDA gives air-fryer, oven and microwave options for the Chicago Town Deep Dish Four Cheese two-pack, including an instruction to air fry no more than one pizza at a time. Its larger Loaded Cheese stuffed-crust pizza has oven instructions.
Check the cooking directions for the exact pizza and allow for any batch limit if guests will eat together.
-
Choosing by flavour without checking the label
Products with similar-sounding cheese toppings can have different ingredients and allergen declarations. Vegetarian suitability also does not answer whether a pizza contains milk, wheat or soya.
Read the exact pack’s ingredients, allergen and dietary information before buying and again before serving it to guests with restrictions.
Brand and own-label references
These ranges offer different formats to compare; the label of the particular pizza determines its portions, ingredients and cooking method.
Goodfella's
Goodfella's lists Stonebaked Thin, Takeaway, Deep Pan, snacking and gluten-free ranges.
- Its Thin Crust Pepperoni has a 12–14 minute oven guideline, according to Goodfella's.
- That pepperoni variant contains pork, wheat and milk; check other variants separately.
Chicago Town
Chicago Town makes Deep Dish and Stuffed Crust formats, including individual portions and larger pizzas.
- ASDA lists air-fryer, oven and microwave methods for the Deep Dish Four Cheese two-pack.
- Those methods do not apply to every Chicago Town pizza; check the instructions for the selected format.
Dr. Oetker Ristorante
A thin-crust range with meat-topped and cheese-focused variants.
- The Quattro Formaggi listing identifies that variant as suitable for vegetarians.
- The same listing declares wheat, milk and soya; check the exact variant for allergens.
Tesco
Tesco’s frozen-pizza listings include an own-label Four Cheese Stonebaked pizza alongside branded options.
- An own-label pizza gives shoppers another pack format and ingredient list to compare.
- Check the specific product label rather than assuming its servings or cooking instructions match a branded pizza.

Goodfella's Margherita Stonebaked Thin 334 g
This single cheese-topped thin pizza is another format to consider when stocking the freezer. Check this variant’s stated servings and cooking method rather than applying the Pepperoni variant’s timing to it. Check the pack’s wheat and milk allergen information before serving.

Questions about choosing and serving
Should I buy two individual pizzas or one larger pizza?
Buy separate portions if people may eat at different times; consider one larger pizza if everyone plans to share a meal. ASDA labels each pizza in its Chicago Town Deep Dish Four Cheese two-pack as one serving and its single 630 g Loaded Cheese pizza as four servings. Check the serving basis on the pack you choose.
Can I cook frozen pizza in an air fryer or microwave?
Use either appliance only when the exact pack provides instructions for it. ASDA lists both methods for the Chicago Town Deep Dish Four Cheese two-pack, but says to air fry no more than one of those pizzas at a time. Do not assume the same directions apply to a larger stuffed-crust pizza.
What should I check when storing and cooking frozen pizza?
Follow the chosen pack’s storage and cooking instructions, including whether it must be cooked from frozen. Goodfella's instructs shoppers to store its Thin Crust Pepperoni at −18°C and not to refreeze it after defrosting; Chicago Town says its stuffed-crust pizza must be thoroughly cooked before consumption.
Is a vegetarian cheese pizza suitable for guests with allergies?
Not on the strength of a vegetarian label alone. The Dr. Oetker Ristorante Quattro Formaggi listing describes that variant as suitable for vegetarians but also declares wheat, milk and soya. Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact product each guest would eat.
