There are few things more satisfying than a freshly baked pepperoni pizza, with its crispy base, rich tomato sauce, melted tangy cheese and a sprinkling of smoky sausage.

But with several supermarkets and a host of more expensive brands all offering similar pizzas, prices for this freezer staple really do vary. In fact, a Chicago Town pizza could cost you more than twice as much as a supermarket own-brand one.

To find out if paying more gets you a tastier slice, we pitted Goodfella's, Chicago Town and Dr Oetker frozen pepperoni pizzas against seven cheaper own-label options from Asda, Lidl, Sainsbury's and more.

Lots of supermarket brands delivered brilliant results, but we only found one pizza worthy of Best Buy status.

Find out which frozen pepperoni pizza we recommend, based on our blind taste test conducted in June 2021.

How many calories are in a pepperoni pizza?

You may scoff at the idea of sharing a pizza but nearly all of the products we tested were recommended as serving two people. You can find out how many calories each pizza has per serving in the graphic below.

And if you're not sure half a pizza is going to fill you up, perhaps consider a side salad to fill in the other side of the plate where the rest of the pizza would be.

The lowest-calorie pizzas came from Asda and Goodfella's, with 407kcal per half pizza. The most calorific was Chicago Town's Tiger Crust at 522kcal.

Which pizza has the most pepperoni?

While each individual pizza will vary, every pizza we tested states the percentage, by weight, of pepperoni. From this, we can see which brands say they're loading their pizzas up with the most sausage.

As you can see from the table, Iceland delivers on its triple pepperoni promise, with more than 53g of pepperoni on each pizza, with Asda a distant second. At the bottom of the table, Goodfella's and Waitrose vie for the least generous pepperoni topping, with just over 30g of sausage each.

How to recycle pizza boxes

Cardboard pizza boxes can usually go in your household recycling bin. Some pizzas are wrapped in a non-recyclable plastic film which you'll need to dispose of in your general waste bin.

How we tested frozen pepperoni pizza

The pepperoni pizzas were assessed by a large panel of consumers who regularly buy and eat this type of pizza.

The make-up of the panel broadly represents the demographic profile of adults in the UK. Each pizza was assessed by 65 people.

The panellists rated the taste, texture, aroma and appearance of each product, and they told us what they liked and disliked about each one.

The taste test was blind, so the panellists didn't know which brand they were trying. The order in which they sampled the pizzas was fully rotated to avoid any bias.

Each panellist had a private booth, so they couldn't discuss what they were tasting or be influenced by others.

The overall score is based on:

50% flavour
20% appearance
15% texture
15% aroma

These weightings are based on consumer rankings of the importance of different pepperoni pizza attributes.
