When, I was younger all the supermarkets had a certain type of pizza (I have always called them cheap pizzas), they were around 6" - 7", with a tomato sauce base and a small scattering of grated cheese (it was a very sparse covering of cheese).

They came in packs of 8 or 10, individually wrapped in see through plastic, and then stacked and placed into a plastic bag (similar to how bread is packed)

They were cooked under the grill, which gave it a nice soft base, but could be done in the over for a more crisp base.

I could not find these for years and then about 18 - 24 months ago I found them again in Morrisons, but unfortunately they have since disappeared again.

I was wondering if anyone remembers these type of pizzas and knows where to buy them as I really miss them they were an ideal snack and really is a great comfort food substance for me.

Thanks in advance.

Pretty much any supermarket should have those in the frozen aisle in their budget value/basics/smartprice ranges..

nope unfortunately these are rubbish imitations and just don't compare. Way too much cheese too

back in the day they came in a red plastic bag with yellow stripes on the front.

I agree on both fronts. I used to love those mini pizzas and cooked them under the grill until they were brown, almost black.
It's something a friends mam used to do and I continued it myself.


The modern cheap pizzas don't compare and are not actually that cheap!

This is the same way I liked to cook them - my sister loved them in the oven, for a crunchier base - I really miss them and hope to find them one day.

I assume by the lack of replies though that no one knows where I can find these now. It is a shame I really would love to get a pack (hell I would probably stock up the freezer) but I have been consoled with the discovery that a Domino Pizza shop has opened up locally

And you are right about the modern cheap pizza not being cheap

I know of the sort of thing that you mean and funnily enough haven't seen them in supermarkets such as Tesco for ages either. They always seemed to be on offer too. Along with those, when I was a kid I used to really like Tesco's frozen french bread pizzas.

Nowadays if I'm buying a pizza from the supermarket, I'll either see which ones are on offer or I'll treat myself to one of the chilled 'fresh' ones, which seem to be on offer a lot of the time. I think for the price you pay for a so-called 'cheap' frozen pizza, you as well pay a little bit more but that's my preference. I have enjoyed some of the chilled fresh supermarket pizzas far more than fresh ones I've eaten in restaurants.

I recommended Co-op's truly irresistible margherita pizza on DS a few months ago. I still think it is one of the best supermarket pizzas for taste and in my opinion it is on a par with a pizza you could get in a restaurant.

Farmfoods is a cheap pizza location. You can get Goodfella's pizzas for £1.50, which is cheaper than at Sainsbury's for example.
