Margherita pizza

Pizza Express, £5 (£2.05 per 100g). The supermarket alternatives are:

Waitrose, £3.76 (£1.57 per 100g)

HAS a generous topping with an authentic, doughy taste. 4/5 Sainsbury’s Stonebaked, £2.25 (85p per 100g)

SKIMPY sauce and the base is hard and dry.

2/5

Tesco Finest Buffalo Mozzarella and Tomato, £4.75 (£1.13 per 100g) DULL topping and mean amount of cheese. 3/5 Morrisons The Best Margherita and Pesto, £2.75 (70p per 100g) FROZEN pizza is short on cheese — but the sauce is tasty. 3/5 Asda Stonebaked Four Cheese, £1.15 (35p per 100g) GENEROUS cheese topping and deliciously crispy base cooks from frozen in just 12 minutes. 4/5 Co-op Stonebaked, £1.65 (54p per 100g) THIS often appears as part of a meal deal. Bought alone, it’s not such good value. 2/5 Aldi Carlos Thin Crust Stonebaked Margherita, £1.09 (33p per 100g) COOKING from frozen, this is a great standby and tasty, too. 4/5 Lidl Trattoria Alfredo Margherita, 68p (21p per 100g)

THE topping may be skimpy but the dough is delicious. At one tenth of the Pizza Express version, it’s perfect for kids or large groups.
