Pizzas From Supermarkets!!!!

Last week I bought a Pizza Express "Sloppy Giuseppe" from a local supermarche... It was the most disgusting pizza I have ever had, and it's kind of put me off pizzas now.

It's a shame because the week before I had one of the nicest pizzas I have ever had, from the restaurant chain ASK. It was their "Estiva". Apparently it's cooked as a standard tomato and mozzarella, then the toppings are put on afterwards... Proscuito, baby mozzarella & fresh rocket, and finished off with a drizzle of chilli oil. Heaven on a plate!!

I had one of them and I liked it.

The frozen Lidl ones compare very well to these.
The Mozzarella one has plenty of topping as have the spinach or vegetarian ones.

I am not a great fan of chillies .. I find that most pizza's seems to have too much chilli on and your mouths of fire after the first bite .. not good

I rarely buy shop brought pizzas .. i used to love the freshetta pizza's shame they are not around anymore..

Goodfella and dr. oetker are some of the worst pizza's avaible.. the box has properly more taste

One of the best i have tried lately was the morrisons american pizza

I'd rather have chillies on pizza than horrid boring red or green peppers. Jalapenos on pizzas are lovely!

Sloppy Giuseppe? You know him too? A fowl mouthed greasy twit isn't he.

I buy pizza dough in a supermarket and put what I feel like at the moment on it.

Dr. Oetker feels more authentic like the Lidl ones.
American to me means deep pan and thus 'fast food'.

Freshetta tasted superb. Methinks the supermarket markup was below the 200% norm?

I had a Dr Oetker Funghi last week and it was very good. Loads of mushroom on itt.

I love those Pizza Express ones from supermarkets, but usually too expensive - £4 for one pizza.

Yeah, see, someone else likes them too, I knew I didn't have bad taste!!!

Yeah, they are too expensive though, I only get them if they're on offer.

I think they are the next best thing to home made, much better than that greasy deep pan crap most places stock.

I like the spicy meatball calzone from Tesco although it is is a little pricy.

I still like the microwave chicago town ones, or even the copies. They are ok for a quick snack.

After your revelation that you actually like Sloppy Giuseppe pizzas the other day, you're now starting to redeem yourself.

All you need to do now is denounce ham and pineapple toppings and deep pan bases and your rehabilitation shall be complete!!

Wallasey Saint · 18-11-2010, 22:15

I like the Chicago Town Pizzas, although, i use one of the local, Independent Pizza shops[top noch, the Pizzas are, soft, but firm, & the Mexican Heatwave is

], rather than the chains, if i want a proper Pizza

Spider Rico · 18-11-2010, 22:36

I eat pizza a lot(at least once a week) and have done for years. I've had from all the takeaways, restaurants and supermarkets. I have always found Asda and Tesco's own fresh ones to be reasonably good, not great but good. For frozen ones, I think the Ristorante ones are very good. Pizza Express good, but a bit pricey. We often get the Prima Fresco ones from Tesco, and this week they were half price - not bad at all

As for making one from scratch, I'm too lazy and am not a pizza snob like some of you so I'm find spending a few quid and buying one
