A Decent Supermarket Pizza ?

[h-dom]

The answer to this question is the deluxe sourdough pizza from Lidl

Don't know if it's been mentioned but I've not had much better outside a restaurant.

Don't overlook it though, leave the crust a bit doughy.

And all the flavours are good except the weird veggie one

I'll have a look for that. Someone on another forum mentioned one from either Aldi or Lidl too. Aldi has moved to an out-of-town location, though, so it's a pain to get there now.

We used to get handmade Pizzas from Tesco pizza counter, they were perfect.

The lady used to make them before end of shift and leave them for us to pick up I'd she was on early.

Best £4 you could ever spend.

The shut the counter down during the pandemic and never reopened it, bloody shame!.

Used to eat half for tea and take half to work for lunch.

The "American Hot" still hadn't returned to Aldi, last time I checked.

I have been alerted to these on another forum, so I'll have to see if the local has any in stock at the weekend.

The old American Hot was £1.79 and a thin base, these are £2.99, but then all the base pizzas have gone up.

I've had quite a few of the new Aldi Detroit-style American Hot that I mentioned above, and they're very nice. The only problem is that being rectangular, they didn't fit on the plate I was using, so I had to buy a new one, which won't fit in the sink properly. The last couple I bought had dropped 30p down to £2.69.

At the weekend when I was in Iceland, I spotted these:

Two for a fiver, "American Hottest", and I can confirm it's a bit spicier than the Aldi American Hot, but not painfully so. It's not as spicy as their "Scarily Spicy" Hallowe'en tie-in, but they were a bit too much for me, and I didn't see any last year. And, it fits on my normal plate.

I quite enjoy these

When I bought the "American Hottest" the other week, in the same range there's a Chilli Dog pizza, so I got one of those to get the two for a fiver deal.

I've had it for tea just now, and it was lovely. Not as spicy as the American Hot or Hottest, but nice and the sausage in the crust was a nice smoky flavour.

You're so reckless

 

[droopsnoot]

Apparently cheese-free pizzas are a thing, my sister has an issue with cheese but still has pizza as long as they leave that bit out. I don't know how I'd handle not being able to eat cheese, though I expect that if it gave me massive migraines like it does to her, I'd probably get over it. I'd have to empty the freezer first, though - Long Clawson Stilton was on offer in Sainsbury's last weekend, £3.15 a piece down to 79p.

We have Aldi 99p cheese and tomato ones then add sliced peppers, mushrooms and Salami.

I've loved cheese since a nipper, my late start was curry, I did my apprenticeship in a foundry with 90% Indian workers who had curry twice a day so whenever I smelt one it reminded me work, must have been in my 30's when I first went for a curry, I still don't have many as I prefer Chinese or Pizza (tiger crust cheese medley is my current favourite)

We discovered these recently. Very nice.

That’s more of a “pie without a lid” than a pizza!

I could murder a slice or two of that right now.

I recall going for pizza in New York, some supposedly world famous joint under the Brooklyn bridge. It was packed, but we had a family table booked in advance. One of the in laws who lives there raves about the place.

While we were waiting for our pizzas to arrive the wife pointed out some celeb movie star who was queuing outside to get a table.

Our world famous pizza eventually turned up, and I have to say I was most unimpressed with it. It was bland, soggy in the middle, and no better than the mass production stuff I’ve eaten from Dominoes or Papa John here in Blighty.

40 years ago a pizza chain called "Mothers" started up one nearby, was "Chicago Deep Dish" style.
Looked just like that, they set it on an elevated stand in the middle of the table.

Was replaced by a "little Ceasars" chain, they are all over the place now.
No sit down, run in, grab & go.
