    Dunno if this is new in all Tesco's, but my local one in Ballybrack have a make your own one in the deli section at half price (3.5 euro a kilo).

    I just got a 14" base loaded up weighing 1.4kg for under a fiver. The thing is monster , going to be the stuff of legend tonight!
    For the record mine, has cheese, ham, pepperoni, mushroom, onion, tomato slices, pineapple and then more cheese because I am a glutton.

    This is the bad boy taking up the whole bottom shelf of my fridge.

    Got one of these myself the other day, also in Ballybrack (apparently this is being rolled out to all stores). They had a 9/10' pre-cooked pepperoni pizza sitting in pizza boxes under the heating lamps. Was around €1.60, bargain!

    Frozen pizza base (twin pack from tesco), about €2.
    Some passata.
    Whatever meat and veg you have in the fridge.
    Grated Cheese.

    Lash in the oven for 15 mins and there you go. Much better than frozen pizza.

    Of course, the OP's pizza is probably bigger.

    Throw some salt, peppa, dried herbs if you have them like oregano into the passata and hey presto.

    I still hope they roll this out across all stores

    What kind of bases are they. Not thick crust I hope. One of my fondest memories was making my own pizza in crazy price in lucan way back in the early to mid nineties.

    They are not thick crusts.
    Cook fresh about 25 mins at 180c in our oven
    When cooked from frozen we put them in for about 30/35 mins at 170

    To be honest it completely depends on the circumstances. Friday evening after work I'd rather pick this up with a few beers. It's a decent bargain alert.

    Jaysuz You do know you could just get 2-3 pizzas instead of a 1.5 kilo meat salad with bread plate ?

    Id love have been there as you coaxed the deli person to put on the 5th inch of topping.

    There would have been no coaxing. You're paying for the weight.

    There's a tesco right across the road from where we're working, the lads have been going over there getting a 12" pizza for €1.50 to €2 depending in how much toppings you want since last September. They cook it there for you or you can bring it home.

    There was lad behind me at a till in Tesco yesterday who couldn't believe it when his two pizzas came it about €3.70, he tried to argue that they were €3.50 each. Delighted with life so he was :P

    Ah the memories.... my dad used to buy these make your own pizzas as a special treat when he'd to the weekly superquinn shop in the 90s.

    Goodfellas wasn't really a thing then so the alternative was those frozen four pack of value cheese and tomato individual pizzas. So getting one of these pizzas at home made us teenagers feel very sophisticated and grown up!

    I'm going to buy him one at the weekend as a reminder , thanks

    Ive seen this in Galway sometimes. Think it is mostly at night they do it.

    Had no idea they were that cheap.

    Best mass produced pizzas are the fresh ones from Lidl. They are Irish and the flavours are decent. They are excellent for like €4-5

    I'd quite happily eat that plus some garlic bread on the side if it wasn't for the pineapple.

    Sorry OP, but pineapple on a pizza.

    :p

    Of course, the OP's pizza is probably bigger.

    Wash veg. Chop veg. (Chances are you won't have the same selection in your fridge as you would at a deli counter, but whatever.)

    Chop meat. Cook meat. Allow plenty of time for it to cool, as otherwise the meat will be burnt by the time the veg is cooked.

    Prepare pizza. Use a small quantity of passata - you'll never use the full container, meaning you'll have to include passata in tomorrow's dinner, whether you want to or not.

    Load on veg and meat and cheese. Cook. Eat.

    Face into the washing up. Yuck.



    Yeah ... If I'm going to treat myself to pizza, this seems like a FAR better idea than making it myself. Pizza is an occasional treat, and the time and effort involved in preparation and clean-up would take the good out of it for me! :)

    I must say I only got one of those myself the other day, in Ballybrack too, and they are certainly filling and tasty for little cash!

    Completely agree! I mean you can get a freshly made (and cooked if you wanna be extra lazy) 10' pepperoni pizza for well under €2! Even if you load it up with loads of toppings it's still hard to hit €3. Noticed most of the big ones are under €5 as well. The convenience factor far outweighs the cost factor. Even most of the not as nice frozen pizzas are more expensive then these.
