Just looking for recommendations and specifically for Margherita pizzas which are my favorite.

We normally have a takeaways maybe once a week alternating between fish and chips and a pizza, a pizza costs £3.50 and they are imo just lovely but the others at home often don't want anything so I'm looking for alternatives I can buy and stick in the freezer. I have tried a couple and they were nothing like the takeaway quality despite being more expensive so I thought I'd ask here as there just may be someone who buys passable pizzas from a supermarket.

We normally shop at ASDA but do some at Tesco.

Any recommendations?
 
Have you not thought of making your own, get good results with a heavy frying pan and grill. If it has to be a supermarket one look for stone baked and sour dough usually results in a decent quality crust, some even do raw ones you have to cook properly at home, look at getting a pizza stone or steel as well for the oven.

Or if you're really into your pizzas get a pizza oven and do them properly. You'll never eat shop bought again.

Yup. Both me and Mrs WW make them but to be honest they're not as good as the ones we get from the takeaway.
 
I’m rather partial to the Asda “create your own” - either the stone baked or wood fired bases. Just ask for whatever toppings take your fancy........
 
I've never heard of or noticed those. I'll take a look.
 
for me the trick is to get a pizza stone for the oven, stick it on the middle shelf on about 220 and leave it for about a good 30 minutes, then cook your pizza on the stone, its the closest i have got to recreate restaurant pizza, my main fave is the one from iceland from the italian chef, cook from frozen for about 10 minutes on the super hot stone.

That is a fine effort, lovely structure to it. Now I feel hungry and I have just baked four baguettes. They won't be four for long :D
 
In terms of ready made supermarket ones... Pizza Express range is good and like the restaurant. My favourite though is Chicago Town Frozen in Tesco. They do a Tiger crust which is very nice but the best is the stuffed crust pepperoni - I prefer tomato but kids prefer cheese in the crust. Really nice base and tastes a bit like a takeaway one.

I think the ASDA already made type, are better value than the create your own type. Just had this Pizza for our evening meal. Cut in half it does me and the missus, there is plenty of Chicken on it also. They are £2 each or three for a fiver. Been getting them for a good while now, and always been pretty good.
 
I've always found pre-prepared pizzas from supermarkets really horrid: glutinous, un-appetising reddish goo with a sprinklng of fragments of some kind of pale yellow matter and a spartan measure of what ever the key named ingredient was meant to be, spread over a layer of doughey cardboard almost completely unlike a fresh pizza base. The 'name' versions that supposedly come from a restaurant chain are just as bad. Dominoes deliver this as standard too.

The best supermarket pizza I ever had was the sort Sainsbury made in store from raw, fresh ingredients, baked in the store while I waited.

ORDER NOW for exclusive offers and discounts from Milanos Pizza Shawarma, 104 Normanby Road, Middlesbrough, TS6 6RX

Other takeaways are available :D

They also do a very nice cheesy garlic bread which looks just like a pizza.

If no one else wants anything and it's just me one £3.50 pizza doesn't get me to the £8 minimum order for delivery but I suppose I could get in the car and drive down to them as it's not far. They'll miss my phone calls and tips, if I'm late ordering they always say "You're late today" and if I change an order they always sound surprised and question it :D They're much cheaper than fish and chips.

The best pizza I've ever had was from a takeaway in Marske but I think they changed hands years back and I haven't had one from there since.
