Keep two compact thin pizzas if they are mainly a backup or need to cover different topping preferences. If pizza might replace the main meal or serve extra guests, a thin pizza alongside a larger stuffed-crust pizza gives you another portion-size option, but check freezer space, oven time and the serving information on each pack.
Two smaller pizzas let you keep different toppings for a night when pizza is an alternative to the planned meal. The thin-pizza examples from Goodfella's and Dr. Oetker have different fan-oven instructions, so check both packs before cooking them together.
A larger pizza gives you a different portion-size option if plans change. Chicago Town lists its 640g stuffed-crust pepperoni pizza as one pizza serving four, with nutrition stated per quarter; allow for its tray requirement and longer oven time.
Dr. Oetker states that its 335g Ristorante Mozzarella pizza is suitable for vegetarians. Its ingredients include wheat and milk, so a meat-free label does not answer other dietary questions.
Decide whether the pizzas are a backup or a possible main meal, then compare the pack sizes, cooking instructions and labels for the two you would keep.
Choose when: separate toppings and a smaller backup matter more than having one large pizza to share.
Bear in mind: check the combined portions if the pizzas might have to replace dinner for several people.
Choose when: extra guests or a change of meal plan could make a larger sharing pizza useful.
Bear in mind: the Chicago Town stuffed-crust example needs a baking tray and 18–23 minutes in a fan oven, as well as space in the freezer.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Portion size | Compare net weights and the serving basis on each nutrition panel. Dr. Oetker lists its Mozzarella pizza at 335g; Sainsbury's lists the Chicago Town stuffed-crust pepperoni pizza at 640g, with nutrition per quarter pizza. | I'd keep smaller pizzas for a backup, but want a larger option if pizza could become the main meal. |
| Oven setup | Check each pack's temperature, cooking time and shelf or tray instructions. The Goodfella's thin pepperoni example takes 15–17 minutes directly on an oven shelf; Chicago Town specifies a tray and 18–23 minutes for its stuffed-crust pepperoni pizza. | If the oven is still in use after making fish and chips, I need to know whether both pizzas will fit and when they can be cooked. |
| Dietary fit | Read the current ingredients and allergen statement for both pizzas. Dr. Oetker calls its Ristorante Mozzarella pizza vegetarian, but lists wheat and milk. | A meat-free pizza would cover one preference in my household; I would check the pack separately for any ingredients a diner must avoid. |
| Freezer storage | Check that the packs fit and follow their storage and defrosting instructions. GOV.UK advises keeping the freezer at −18°C; Goodfella's says not to refreeze its thin pepperoni pizza after defrosting. | I want both pizzas ready for a later change of plans, without overlooking the storage directions on either pack. |
A 335g thin pizza and a 640g stuffed-crust pizza play different roles in a two-pizza plan. Pack weight alone does not tell you how many portions your household will want.
Decide whether pizza is a side, a backup or a replacement main meal, then check each pack's serving and nutrition information.
Dr. Oetker's vegetarian Ristorante Mozzarella pizza contains wheat and milk; the Goodfella's thin pepperoni example also contains wheat and milk.
If someone needs to avoid an ingredient, read the current pack's ingredients and allergen statement rather than relying on a vegetarian label.
Chicago Town specifies a baking tray and 18–23 minutes in a fan oven for its 640g stuffed-crust pepperoni pizza. That may affect the timing if the oven is needed for other food.
Check the tray, shelf space and instructions for both pizzas before planning to cook them together.
Its Stonebaked Thin Pepperoni is a compact, meat-topped example for a two-pizza freezer plan.
The 335g Mozzarella pizza is a thin, meat-free example when the two freezer pizzas need different toppings.
Its 640g Takeaway Cheese Stuffed Crust Loaded Pepperoni illustrates the larger-pizza route.
These options include compact thin pizza and larger stuffed-crust pizzas for a two-pizza freezer plan. Choose the second pizza for the role it needs to play, rather than treating each card as a complete pair.

The Goodfella's thin pepperoni, Dr. Oetker Ristorante Mozzarella and Chicago Town stuffed-crust pepperoni examples have instructions for cooking from frozen, but their methods differ. Goodfella's specifies direct placement on an oven shelf, while Chicago Town specifies a baking tray; follow the instructions on the particular pack you buy.
Keep the freezer at −18°C and follow each pack's storage and defrosting instructions, as GOV.UK advises. Goodfella's instructs consumers not to refreeze its Stonebaked Thin Pepperoni after defrosting.
No: Dr. Oetker states that its Ristorante Mozzarella pizza is suitable for vegetarians, but its ingredients include wheat flour and mozzarella made with milk. Check the current pack's ingredients and allergen statement for the dietary requirement in question.
No. GOV.UK explains that a best-before date concerns quality, whereas a use-by date concerns food safety. Follow the pizza's storage instructions as well as the date shown on its pack.
