![]() A lot of the boxes looked a little battered and bruised, too. ![]() I've since found my favourite pizza restaurant in the city and I've even found my favourite supermarket pizza, but this week, I ventured to Asda to see if its offerings could measure up.Īsda boasts plenty of branded pizzas but its own range was a little limited, especially for vegetarians. I've more than made up for years of not eating pizza, with weekends in lockdown practically devoted to pizza takeaways. I blame it on the fact I didn't eat pizza until I was a teenager, being one of those nightmare fussy children who turned their nose up at all sorts for no reason in particular. If you look back through most of my restaurant reviews, you'll quickly spot I have quite the pizza obsession. Where to buy: M&S stores or online at Ocado Asda Thin Stonebaked Cheese Feast PizzaĪsda's Thin Stonebaked Cheese Feast Pizza (Image: Liverpool Echo) If you're looking for portion control this is a great pizza to choose, because if it had been bigger I definitely wouldn't have been able to stop eating it. It was also topped with roasted Santarella tomatoes, which burst with rich flavour as soon as you put one in your mouth. There was plenty of gooey, creamy tasting mozzarella and just the right amount of basil pesto to give it that Italian vibe without becoming the dominant flavour. While the dough is thin, M&S hasn't scrimped on the toppings. Being 'ultra thin' it only took about six minutes to cook and the base came out crispy round the edges and slightly soft in the middle. I chose the classic Italian Mozzarella & Basil Pesto flavour and it tasted like something you'd get in a restaurant. M&S does a huge range of pizzas, but this is a great size if you want a pizza all to yourself, without completely overdoing the calories. Thin, crispy and wood fired is my pizza of choice and this M&S Ultra Thin Wood Fired Pizza with Italian Mozzarella & Pesto might just be my new favourite. At the time, weekend tea didn't get much better, but while I'm nostalgic about my childhood TV favourites, my pizza taste has somewhat moved on. I was raised in the 90s when a deep pan pizza, heavily weighed down in cheese that would usually end up burning the roof of my mouth, would often be slapped down on the table while I watched Gladiators on a Saturday night.

The only downside was how greasy the pizza was, despite the base having a good crisp to it, the toppings poured with grease and I ended up having to soak the grease up with napkins. The pepperoni, which I’d rearranged before popping it in the oven since it was all condensed into the centre at first, was spicy and cooked perfectly. The base stayed doughy and didn’t burn, while the crust was crispy and made for the perfect opportunity to dip in some sauce. It cooked perfectly in the allotted time, coming out of the over crispy and sizzling - a definite bonus. ![]() I’ll be honest, I’m not usually one to buy fresh pizza as I’m used to grabbing one out of the freezer when I can’t be bothered to cook - or better yet, ordering one from my local takeaway.Įither way, I’m glad I tried Tesco’s own branded pepperoni pizza. The pizza differs vastly in price from other products too, such as Tesco’s Finest pizza which cost upwards of £4. The packaging stands out from the crowd in a deep green colour, separating it from the branded products and other ranges. Tesco had a huge range of own-brand pizzas available when I visited my local store, but I kept things classic by opting for pepperoni. Tesco stone baked pepperoni pizza (Image: Liverpool Echo) ![]()
