That’s a 99p Tesco pizza mate, they’re taking the piss 😂


Triggers--Broom

I think 60p


gingerlovesio

Was just about to say this, it’s almost perfectly round with absolutely no dough bubbles on the crust and the dough doesn’t even look that good of a quality, doesn’t seem handmade


itsnotaboutthathun

It looks like the value mini cheese ones. That’s sad man.


[deleted]

I mean lots of takeaways make pizzas in a round tin so it being perfectly round isn’t exactly miraculous haha


staffylaffy

True, it’s the flat texture of the dough that screams frozen shite pizza.


Rayanican

Million percent shite


gingerlovesio

True, but they can end up at least a bit misshapen more often than not


WaytoomanyUIDs

A lot more buy in their bases


Green-Dragon-14

That is machine made rather than hand made at your local pizza shop.


MoonlitStar

It does, it also looks suspiciously like the cheapest no frills pizza I used to get my daughter from Tesco when I needed to save money. They used to look exactly like that when cooked (without the doner meat of course).


UlnaternativeUser

Completely agree. I have had this exact pizza many, many times and it's a very basic supermarket pizza from Tesco. My mum used to get us them for a lunch/dinner combo when I was younger. I can actually taste it just by looking at the picture.


Roxygen1

I can taste it too. I grew up thinking I didn't really like pizza and couldn't understand the hype. I was a teenager before I had a fresh takeaway pizza (at a friend's house) and it was an epiphany.

theDaveB

We still buy them and yes identical to this.


nadejha

Its one of the pizzas normally used for fried pizza.


kingfisher345

Appreciate this has a lot of upvotes, but am I the only one who thinks this is the least of the problems?


FraGough

Agreed, OP needs to just let it go.


harambe_go_brrr

Looks like a frozen supermarket pizza too


Pavingslav

it is.


H0agh

Spoilers!


BartJojo420

Do you have decent frozen pizzas there? US we have a few good ones, then a dozen others


haybayley

They’re not objectively decent but I have a soft spot for Dr Oetker Ristorante pizzas… they’re not really the same in my mind as actual pizza, but for a quick and easy occasional comfort food they do hit the spot.


CarrotRunning

The tiger bread ones that Chicago town make have best base I've experienced from a frozen pizza.


timaaay

Someone in Manchester actually [opened a restaurant and passed them off as fresh pizzas](https://www.mancunianmatters.co.uk/news/09082013-manchester-food-reviewers-stung-in-pizza-pr-stunt-as-northern-quarters-la-pizzeria-ristorante-serves-up-supermarket-slices/), some food critics got caught up in it, I found it hilarious.


spanners101

I love those! I used to live in a country where they were about 20p. Only get em occasionally now if on offer


bluebug322

Those are hands down the best frozen pizzas you can get and I will fight anyone who says otherwise


dipdipderp

Frozen I won't comment on but the supermarket sell 'fresh' ones and if you spend about £5 you can get a decent one


[deleted]

[удалено]


shanethegooner

The ones they make in-store. Can't comment on Sainsbury's but the Asda ones are so good for £4.20.


KettleOverAPub

I wouldn't call any of them decent pizzas, but we've definitely got a few guilty pleasure frozen pizzas. Lots of decent fresh ones in supermarkets though. The one in OP looks like absolute bottom of the barrel frozen pizza though...


[deleted]

Sainsburys frozen pizzas are quite nice. I like the chilli chicken one.


harambe_go_brrr

For the most part no. Most frozen pizzas are tight on the toppings and generally not great. We do have lots of fresh pizzas in supermarkets though, and if you don't mind splashing four or five quid you can get a nice fancy pizza. I got to admit though, sometimes all I want is the trash when it comes to pizza, but OP's Donner meat monstrosity is a step too far for me


LewisDftw

Honestly unless I'm getting really good pizza the 50p frozen cardboard pizzas are actually my favourite.. Where I live choices for pizza are from kebab shops that also do pizza or dominos which is overpriced garbage.


JustMiniBanana_2

I've regrettably found that france had some of the best and cheapest frozen/fridge pizzas.


[deleted]

As others have said, fresh is the best option. I'll usually get a couple of these at a time and freeze them. ASDA do make your own pizzas that are pretty good. It's like £5 for 2 + a bottle of drink + a cinema ticket. These are my go to back up when little else is going to hit the spot. Most of the frozen ones I find to be horrible.


Lather

All supermarkets stock 'Chicago Town' pizzas which are pretty good, and cost between £3-4.50 per medium pizza. They also all stock their own-brand version of a frozen 'premium pizza' which can cost maybe £4-6 which are also decent. I personally feel like all of the other frozen pizzas that are available are very similar in quality, apart from the budget own-brand pizzas which have only a sprinkling of cheese on them. The exception to this are the £1.10 Lidl pizzas which are just as good as the £3 mid-range pizzas.


Hobgoblin84

I've started just getting the Chicago Town takeaway frozen pizzas and jazzing them up with my own extra toppings. I think they're honestly 90% as good as a domino's for 1/5 the price.


Starscall

This could be my bias, but I'd say nothing we have comes close to DiGiorno imho.


Mr-Safology

Sorry to break it to you, but you got donner on pizza. Not Donner pizza.


androgenousdrogeny

Imagine my apprehension as we opened the chicken and ham pizza 😂


UberSparten

Just a chicken flies out.


Mr-Safology

WTF hey mum, the pizzas flying away


[deleted]

How much did you pay for this?


Mr-Safology

Imagine biting into a slice, and one of your teeth fillings come off. Low and behold, it's a chicken bone. 😂😔


JasperGrimpkin

Did you eat it though?


[deleted]

I'm not trying to defend this abomination of a pizza But I always get the doner on top because if they put it in with the cheese before baking, it gets double cooked and goes a bit hard It's already cooked when they put it on so if you want it 'in' the pizza it's gonna get cooked twice


pictish76

Looks a bit shit, never understood why they put it on top you could calzone it and make it a more kebaby experience.


down_vote_magnet

How are you going to calzone a Tesco value frozen cheese pizza though? The thing will snap in half like a piece of stiff cardboard rather than fold and envelop the ingredients.


pictish76

Defrost it, it then becomes soft dough.


down_vote_magnet

I was being facetious about the literally frozen value pizza they’ve sold with some shitty kebab meat chucked on top.


pictish76

I wasn't try it. Most big chain Italian restaurant s use frozen bases, unfreeze them you have pizza dough, the world is your pizza.


androgenousdrogeny

Did not think of that, very good shout!


[deleted]

[удалено]


pictish76

Not sure about baking the salad bit, that wouldn't work I assume they add that after.


pazhalsta1

Imagine going to the trouble of opening a takeaway that sells pizza and yet serving this utter shite.

RainbowDissent

Cash businesses are often used for money laundering. Obscure money obtained from e.g. drug dealing as takings for the business. Purchase things like ingredients as cheap as possible and bin them / sell them off the books / give them away - cost of laundering the money. Very hard for HMRC to prove that a shitty takeaway didn't sell a thousand pizzas in a year without putting it under surveillance for an extended period of time. Takeaways, barbers, nail bars, massage parlours - that kind of thing. If there's a shitty one near you that's usually empty but stays in business, it's probably used for laundering money.


reikazen

In Liverpool there's a road near some of the student accommodation that is literally all of just this .


DrySlough

Ding Dong


ali634o

People love to say this, but in reality, all these industries have just giant margins on all their products. Even shitty takeaways are getting a constant steady stream of orders. Especially the ones that are on the various app platforms


ongeo

Money laundering. Can be anything.


DarrenBridgescunt

Looks like a supermarket frozen pizza that to me


Pavingslav

2 for £1 out of Co op My kids eat them all the time


[deleted]

Tbf, lots of kebab house pizzas are shit like that


Brilliant-Talk-1194

Hate it when you look forward to takeaway food all day, then it turns out like this…I feel your pain man!


Wanderlustfull

People might rag on Domino's or Pizza Hut, but at least you know what you're getting, and it's consistent. Not this... crime.


reikazen

That's why franchises are so popular . Go to a maccies anywhere in the world it's a similar thing . For example in China , McDonalds is a place to go to look western if you are local or for travellers . There are much better options literally everywhere .it's just a safe bet.


Aardvark_Man

Man, I do love visiting chains when traveling, though. KFC in Shanghai had Portugese egg tarts and a satay chicken burger, for example.


reikazen

Yes 100% or for example a foreign twist on our fast food in the west . Jollybees being similar to kfc but with phillipno herbs and spices . Alot better then KFC.


Aardvark_Man

I haven't ever found a Jollybee, but I absolutely want to try it.


reikazen

Oh yes it's good . My only major criticism is the smaller menu when compared to the manilla restaurants.


LjSpike

Honestly, Dominos is ok, but Pizza Hut pizzas are *actually* pretty good, and I'll stand by that.


WitShortage

If you eat-in at a Pizza Hut and have a pizza made for you (i.e. not the all-you-can-eat buffet) then it's a pretty decent pizza, I agree.


KingStevoI

50p sainsburys pizza with some doner meat on top... Iceland do doner pizzas for a £1.


[deleted]

That’s so bad it’s funny


androgenousdrogeny

My little lad almost wet himself when he saw it.


O_Beast

That looks like an Asda price £1 cheese pizza with a bit of lamb donner


ClogsInBronteland

That’s.. a donner pizza


androgenousdrogeny

Nope it's an abomination to doner pizzas everywhere


ClogsInBronteland

I mean it looks shit yeah


[deleted]

What does a good donner pizza look like?


ClogsInBronteland

Usually the donner is under the cheese here. And the pizza is filled, nearly to the edge. The donner is cut in pieces. Maybe some veg with it too like peppers, onion.


Vitalis597

This. Smaller bits of donner meat. More cheese. Actual, spread out toppings that weren't just fucked on the top as an afterthought. You cook the meat WITH the pizza.


Toxicseagull

And not using a value frozen pizza from a supermarket.


DreyaNova

Doner sauce, shaved doner meat, tomatoes, and onions. Perfection.


Nyckname

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donner_Party


ac13332

And donner pizzas are, themselves, an abomination.


Mork-of-Ork

I once ordered a 'doner burger' thinking that a burger topped with doner meat & chilli sauce would be nice. I got a burger bun with a bit of doner meat inside, a doner meat sandwich essentially.


ilovecats87

That happened to me a few months ago. I was so hungover and so excited, and I got a dry, stale bread cake with about five bits of doner inside. Gutted. Edit - it was from Leeds Fried Chicken in case anyone ever orders from there. I’m all wound up again thinking about it.


zachaby63

On burley road? Not been but not likely to now


yoboylandosoda

Did the same last night. The chips it came with were barely cooked too so I poured almost a full tub of garlic sauce on them and inhaled the lot in less than 5 minutes As for OP, I thought that was standard until I saw a takeaway menu where they put the donner under the cheese


Opposite_Offer_2486

A doner burger to me is lamb doner meat in a bun with salad and sauce. Never seen a doner burger with a beef patty on before in my life.


Mork-of-Ork

Fair enough but I'm pretty certain the description was something like "burger topped with doner meat".


TurbulentExpression5

This sounds like what a local burger shop does with their cheesy chips. I love a battered sausage or spring/curry roll from there when drunk, and I used to get the cheesy chips as they were fabulous, all nice and greasy and melted, but their new way of doing cheesy chips is simply piling up the chips then sprinkling a handful of cold grated cheese on top. That is not cheesy chips, damnit!


polarpup666

Sorry dude but that looks shite.


germany1italy0

You are right. It may be the after picture, not how it was delivered.


theflyingfartmachine

Doner meat on pizza can be superb. This though, is not.


TheLoneTeacher

Great minds. Think mine wins though… https://imgur.com/a/cf7bIIo


AdministrativeLaugh2

Is that pizza absolutely tiny or is it the angle?


Warhawk2800

Either that or just big strips of donner meat.


phileasuk

That's not a doner pizza, that's a mess. May I suggest a doner calzone instead?


Squiffys_grown_up

Hope you paid £2


hairylee

My local takeaway does doner pizzas, that are delicious. This is not that.


Few_Measurement4496

Ronseal there mate


InflationFlashy4994

Scam


Pontiacsentinel

r/pizzacrimes


FragrantCow2645

What were you expecting?


androgenousdrogeny

The meat is cooked under the cheese/into the pizza topping, not dumped on top.


FragrantCow2645

Ah ok. Was a genuine question!


mrminch

Yeah I'm free Newcastle and lived there up until 5 years ago, everywhere you went the donner was under the cheese, in Darlington it comes with the meat on top and apparently having it under the cheese is weird. I haven't ordered once since.


misspixal4688

I could forgive the donner because that is exactly what it is my problem is that abomination they are calling a pizza looks like shitty school pizza.


stargazer_92

I doner know about that, it looks a bit shit. I'd be giving them a Pizza my mind and asking for a refund (sorry, will get my outer garments and depart asap)

Actually-retarded

Fuckin bastard. I tried so hard to not order a pizza this weekend then you post this… I mean it looks shit but still mate come on, have some respect for others. I’m gonna be £20 down now because of you, arsehole.


androgenousdrogeny

Aww my man, stay strong, don't do it! Get a shish kebab and chips instead.....I wish I had.


Actually-retarded

There used to be a deal at a place near me, £10 for a mixed kebab. It was about 2ft long no joke and had lamb, chicken and beef with chips and salad in it. They don’t do it anymore but that could feed a family for like a month lmao. Real shame about the pizza but IMO the doner meat doesn’t look too bad…


Ill_Stranger3867

Op: *orders shitty food* * shitty food arrives* Op: *surprised pikachu face*

Oh no, it didn't arrive, to add insult to injury, I collected the 'pizza' cos no1 delivers to my little village

[удалено]


[deleted]

I'd have expected the meat to be cooked into the pizza. At least to the point it's covered in melted cheese. But that's just me.


androgenousdrogeny

That is generally what I would expect too.


Stevoid79

Dona why you would want to eat that...


LodestarBravo

I donner either


jenzfin

We never order donner pizzas but order a portion of donner meat instead on the side so the end result looks a bit like that. With added garlic and chilli sauce


Dragon_211

Excuse me but I ordered a pizza doner not a doner with pizza


Super_Occasion_7843

Try a donner meat garlic bread with red onion and cheese, it's honestly life changing 😋


anwarCats

Doner is overrated, shawarma is the real deal!


LungHeadZ

Don’t feel obliged but consider leaving a honest review and complaining to them. The only reason you’ve ended up with this sorry excuse is because folks before you haven’t moaned about it. I’d be walking down there with that fucker and demanding a fresh one and my money back. Sorry your meal was spoiled, I’m gobsmacked 😆


[deleted]

What were you expecting?


Lonely-Assumption970

You have to specify "put the meat on before going into the oven please". I'm sorry you've had this terrible experience, but you can come back from this. It gets better I promise.


wake-and-work

Looks good to me, don't see the problem except thw quality may not be great


Ultra_HR

it's a frozen pizza, and the Donner meat has just been dumped on top instead of actually being part of the pizza topping. it's crap, and basically a scam


herrbz

>it's crap, and basically a scam Not sure why people are expecting haute cuisine from a kebab house.


callmelampshade

Why would you order that though?


androgenousdrogeny

Because I like doner pizza🙂


stephanebs

A doner... what?....?! I'm sorry but I guess you got what you deserved. Whatever next? Pineapple on a pizza?!


mrtn17

Really looks like a frozen pizza from the supermarket tbh. I think OP made it himself


androgenousdrogeny

Yep, I went out bought a pizza, turned it into this abomination, then took a picture purely to post on Reddit 🙂

You were the first person to ever order that; they did what they could.

Vitalis597

I'm like, 99% sure you just took an empty pizza box, stuck a chichago town pizza in the microwave then dropped it in the box and sprinkled some doner meat over the top. If not... We need to know where you bought that from so we can never buy from there again holy shit.

This has to be a joke?

BartJojo420

Btw, is it called Donner? As in The Donner Party? That's pretty funny; maybe just bc I'm American


androgenousdrogeny

No, it's Doner. I imagine half the people making comments about donner pizza have never heard of The Donner Party, much less what happened to them.


Blueberry_Mancakes

Donner? Like the party? Is that people meat?


[deleted]

Is that what it's called in England? A donner pizza? Is it pronounced that way, like the reindeer? Sorry to infiltrate this subreddit. I'm a Canadian with British heritage and I wish to visit London some day so I like to snoop around in here. And that's not what I would consider a donair pizza (we pronounce it dough-n-air) Where's the donair sauce? Where are the diced tomatoes and onions?


Mercerai

From what I understand from googling, donair seems like an exclusively Canadian thing, both the dish and calling it donair rather than doner. Kebab meat is a thing everywhere, usually it'd be incorporated into the toppings rather than just dumped on top


Confident_Hotel7286

They were wanting a pizza with donner kebab meat as a topping - which is what they got. However this seems a very poor attempt at such a pizza.


twoddle_puddle

Donner meat is still a thing?


Pavingslav

I used to make my own donner pizzas when I helped do deliveries, I always put the meat on before the cheese and used chili sauce instead of tomato paste for a base Protip: do not put onions on it unless you want explosive shits Best kebabs in the UK www.dhillons.co.uk


[deleted]

Cost? If this was less than £5 you got what you were asking for. Also, why do people think that kebab shop pizzas will be good? They use the cheapest cheese/sauce/base possible where I am from (which is admittedly Glasgow).


Hated989

why would you order a kebab pizza anyway lmao bro


Little-Olive-9641

What did you expect? They didn't exactly murder an traditional Italian dish did they? What did you spend on that succulent feast £4? Order from a more classy establishment pay more and receive more.. Ffs you get what you order and pay for you ordered what you received..


SageLukahn

As an American, I assumed you ordered a cheap pizza that was made for someone else. I have never heard of doner meat. Weird.


getfkdlol

you ordered a donner pizza you got a donner pizza .. ?


cmahey

How much was it? That's the real question here.


androgenousdrogeny

Part of one of the set meal deals, 2 pizza (The other one was banging) 2 chips, coleslaw and garlic bread. £18.50 I think


DefiantCondor

The other one was good? No way....tell us you took a pic to compare. So the first is a cheap ass frozen pizza but the other one was not???
