What is this product?
The product is the Simply Better Italian Margherita Pizza from Dunnes Stores, retailing at €5.99 for a 440g pack.
Why is it exceptional?
This is a superior-grade frozen pizza that outshines other market competitors. It is the result of the Simply Better team partnering with the Mandia family from Naples, who are the makers. The pizza base is prepared by hand and baked on a stone, while the tomato sauce is created using San Marzano tomatoes. Within the same line, there is a piccante pizza option (infused with salami and ‘nduja), however, this particular one is superior. It’s crafted using four distinctive Italian cheeses, including Fior di latte mozzarella, Asagio, Provolone and Grana Padano.
How to cook it?
This product can be transferred directly from the freezer to an intensely heated oven (set at 220 degrees or 200 if using a fan oven). The recommended baking time is 13 minutes; a slight increase from the previous 10 minutes indicated on the initial packaging, which has since been revised.
Where to purchase it?
These pizza can be found in the frozen section at Dunnes Stores. Owing to their high demand, they often sell out rapidly, so it’s advisable to stock up whenever possible.
What else should I know?
The suggested serving size for this pizza is a half. Given the high-quality dough and ingredients, a serving of this size is fulfilling enough to be a main course meal.
