Choose two standard frozen pizzas if different toppings or a separate vegetarian or vegan option matter more than serving one shared flavour. A larger pizza can work as part of the pair when its labelled portions suit the guest count and it fits your freezer and oven; either way, check both packs’ allergens and cooking instructions separately.
If guests want different toppings, two standard pizzas let you choose separate flavours. Check the labelled servings on each pack before deciding whether the pair provides enough food alongside anything else you plan to serve.
A separate pizza can accommodate a dietary preference, but its vegetarian or vegan label does not settle allergy questions. Check the ingredients and precautionary allergen statements on the current pack.
Check whether each box fits where it must be stored and whether the pizzas can be cooked in the batches you need. The Chicago Town large pizza listed by Sainsbury’s is described as best carried flat.
Start with portions and guest preferences, then check that you can store and cook the chosen pair as directed.
Consider when: Guests want different toppings, or one pizza needs to be a separately selected vegetarian or vegan option.
Bear in mind: Two packs do not guarantee enough portions; count the servings stated on each.
Consider when: Several guests want the same main flavour and the second pizza covers another preference.
Bear in mind: Check the large pizza’s stated servings and whether it fits flat in your freezer and oven.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Portions | Read each pack’s serving statement rather than counting pizzas alone. ASDA Groceries labels its Goodfella’s Stonebaked Thin Pepperoni example as two servings; Sainsbury’s labels the 640 g Chicago Town Takeaway Large Cheesy Stuffed Pepperoni example as four. | How many guests am I feeding, and what other party food will be served? |
| Storage and fit | Check pack dimensions and any handling directions before buying. GOV.UK’s home food-safety guidance says the freezer should be around −18°C; follow each pizza’s storage label. | I need room to keep both pizzas frozen until the party, especially if one is a large box that should be kept flat. |
| Dietary needs | Read the current ingredients, allergen declaration and ‘may contain’ wording on each pack. ASDA Groceries lists milk and wheat in its cited vegetarian cheese pizzas; Dr. Oetker UK lists wheat and possible traces of milk for its cited vegan pizza. | One guest may need a vegetarian or vegan choice, while another may have an allergy that the dietary label alone does not address. |
| Oven schedule | Compare each pack’s cook-from-frozen directions, temperature, shelf position and time. The cited Goodfella’s thin pizza has a 15–17 minute instruction from ASDA Groceries; its cited ASDA Three Cheese Deep Pan pizza takes 18–20 minutes. | If both pizzas cannot cook together as directed, I need time to serve them in separate batches. |
Pack counts and serving counts are different: the cited standard Goodfella’s pizza is labelled as two servings, while the cited large Chicago Town pizza is labelled to serve four.
Add up the servings on the exact packs you choose, taking the guest count and other food into account.
ASDA Groceries lists milk and wheat in its cited vegetarian pizzas. Dr. Oetker UK lists wheat and possible traces of milk for its cited vegan Pepperoni-Salame pizza.
Check the current ingredients and allergen statements for every pizza intended for a guest with an allergy or intolerance.
The cited thin and deep-pan pizzas have different pack instructions, so finishing one batch does not establish when another is ready.
Write down each pack’s temperature, shelf position and time, then plan the batches around your oven space and serve each pizza according to its instructions.

A salami-topped option if guests want a shared meat flavour. The 635g stuffed-crust format needs freezer and oven space; check the current pack’s serving statement and milk-allergen declaration before planning portions or serving a guest with a milk allergy.
No image available
A cheese-topped choice to pair with a different flavour. This is a 630g stuffed-crust pizza; check its labelled servings before assigning portions. Its product description lists milk and wheat and says it may contain mustard and soy, so compare the current pack with guests’ allergy needs.
No image available
A meat-topped stuffed-crust option for guests who want that flavour. At 640 g, it calls for a fit check before freezer stocking; use the current pack’s serving statement for portions. The product description lists wheat, milk and barley, so read the full current allergen declaration.
No image available
A 355g thin pizza with pineapple and ham for a second topping choice. Check the current pack’s serving statement and full oven directions when planning batches. Its product description lists wheat and milk and includes pork ham.
No image available
A 332g thin, stonebaked pepperoni pizza to pair with another topping. Check the current pack for its serving count and oven schedule before assigning portions or cooking batches. Its product description lists wheat and milk and identifies the pepperoni as pork.
Not necessarily: add up the servings stated on the exact packs and consider the guest count and other food. ASDA Groceries labels its cited Goodfella’s thin pizza as two servings, while Sainsbury’s labels its cited 640 g Chicago Town sharing pizza as four.
Follow each pack’s directions rather than defrosting by default. The cited Goodfella’s, ASDA and Dr. Oetker products have cook-from-frozen instructions; the directions for another variety may differ.
GOV.UK’s home food-safety guidance says a freezer should be around −18°C. Put the pizzas in the freezer promptly after shopping and follow each pack’s storage and best-before instructions.
Do not rely on the vegetarian or vegan label to decide. ASDA Groceries lists milk and wheat in its cited vegetarian cheese pizzas; Dr. Oetker UK lists wheat and possible traces of milk for its cited vegan pizza. Check the current pack against the guest’s requirements.
Check each product’s instructions before planning to reheat it: the cited ASDA Three Cheese Deep Pan pizza says not to reheat. Plan cooking batches so each pizza can be served hot after being cooked as its pack directs.
