Asda have had their fresh pizza counter for quite some time now, and I have to admit I was slightly dubious about trying it to begin with, for fear of it tasting like a frozen pizza.
However, costing only in the region of three quid, it wasn't really going to be a great loss, and the other hungry beavers in my house would devour it if I didn't I was sure.
The pizza counter in my local Asda is clearly laid out with the selection ... ...the double layer of cheese Asda very kindly provide. It doesn't create that stringy cheese effect as the only cheese used on top is grated cheddar, but nice all the same.
The base often has a nice crunch to it, something I look for in a pizza, although it never ends up soggy due to too much base sauce. Something about soggy foods makes me react the same way, if not worse than eating frozen pizza.
Pros:
Cheap pizza
Choosing your own means you'll ...

Advantages: Cheap, Generous Toppings, Delicious, Easy To Cook Disadvantages: You may have to wait in a queue to select your pizza
Asda have consistently been voted Pizza Retailer of the Year and it’s not hard to see why. Their ‘create your own’ fresh pizzas are particularly good value and for anyone who has never visited an Asda store or who has never been to the fresh pizza counter before, here is a brief run down on how it works.
The pizzas come in various types and sizes. So when you get to the head of the queue the first thing you need to tell the person behind the counter ... ...(on the reverse) cooking instructions. Asda fresh pizzas cook quite well in the oven but ideally should be eaten on the day of purchase or at the very latest the day after. As a rough guide a 12” deep pan takes about 12-15 minutes at 200 degrees in an electric oven, a bit less if it is fan assisted. The pizzas are best cooked direct on the shelf with all packaging removed and they come out quite crispy, with the cheese nicely melted. Unlike some ...

...to feed a family on Asda pizzas nightly for five days.
So, one pizza at the weekend or for the same money pizza every day from Monday to Friday? No, I don't buy that many pizzas but the point you see is I could.
Let's take a close look at the particular characteristics of this product that make it stand out in a pizza saturated market.
TASTE
Now, Asda's fresh pizzas are exactly what you want them to be. There are some pre-made pizzas that you ... ...counter staff in my local Asda are hugely generous with topping and I usually start with a 'meat feast' for example and then add a couple of toppings just because I can. The joy of doing this is you come back to a pizza with your name on it ... like you made it yourself. Always puts a smile on my easy to please face. All the ingredients are fresh and the base comes in stonebaked, thick crust or stuffed crust options. I prefer the stone baked as I ...

Advantages: Generous toppings... Disadvantages: You may need to wait in line, but at least you know they'll be good!
...is usually located in every Asda store.)
So no matter who you are, vegetarian or someone who enjoys their meat! there is always a pizza with your name on it.
Hygiene is another good point to the Asda pizza-making department.All staff near the food preperation area follow the national health standards and usually get inspections on hygiene and health.
If you still don't trust them, in most stores, you can watch them making your pizza, to make you ... ...create your own pizza, the asda staff have usually made the most popular requests earlier in the day for the consumers' conveniance.
How's that for service!
The pizzas are also very well prices, ranging from 2 or 3 pounds and I always find them freezable, which is ideal if they have a special offer going on!
However, they do taste best eaten fresh I think.
Cooking directions are child's play, with the usual cooking time ranging from ten to fifteen ...

Advantages: Excellent choice, easy to cook, very tasty! Disadvantages: Long wait sometimes.
Asda's fresh pizza's are excellent. It is as simple as that. Varying from the simple (a 9" with 4 toppings for around £2.30, to a 14" create your own with as many toppings as you would like.)
The choice of bases are excellent, with Thin and Crispy, Stonebake, Deep Pan and Stuffed Crust, and the selection of toppings is endless - pepperoni, salmi, sausage, ham, spicy beef, chilli, onions, red onions, peppers, sweetcorn, mushroom, and many more which ... ...as garlic breads, or simply with chees and tomato topping for the less adventurous pizza taster. The pizzas are easy to prepare - just pop them in the oven at 200oC - from around 10 mins for a 9" thin to 16 for a 14" stuffed crust.
An excellent product, whether for parties, get togethers, keeping the kids quiet, or for a quiet night in with a bottle of wine and a movie. Simply excellent pizzas at very affordable prices. The only problem I can come ...

What fun we would have if Neil Warnock was England manager! Even though he's arguably the best English qualified boss we have when working with players, alongside Redknapp and Steve Bruce, like Cloughie, there was never any chance he would be interviewed more
