This oven pizza has been a recent go-to since our local Sainbury’s stopped stocking my favourite Dr Oetker Ristorante ones.
I’ve had this pizza a couple of times now but I keep forgetting to take a picture. When I’m hungry it’s not something I remember.
The taste is a bit generic, but it’s got a really nice texture when cooked properly. It’s also really good as a lighter option, as it’s quite small – although I find it’s not filling enough if I haven’t eaten a lot that day.
I’m back logging pizzas again after a break. There’ve been a few recently due to running season!
This is one I had in Colne a couple of months ago – we went with Geth’s mum Anne to try out the new pizzeria at Boundary Mill.
The toppings on this pizza were absolutely delicious, and the stonebaked base had a lovely texture to it. I will be back at this restaurant!
I had a great GNR today and got a half marathon PB! Will do a full post about it in the next couple of days.
Absolutely knackered now, and am somehow still hungry even after demolishing a Domino’s pizza order. Looking forward to a recovery day tomorrow!

To clarify, this is the Pizza Express oven pizza that you can buy in supermarkets, not the one at the restaurant! I had one at the weekend when I was in Colne.
This is a nice oven pizza – tasty with a good sauce. The standard size is a lot smaller than most supermarket options, which makes it a good choice for a lighter meal.
My mother-in-law gave me and Geth another one to take home, so we’ll be having that as a post-weigh-in treat tomorrow afternoon.
Geth and I arrived back in Newcastle this evening after a weekend in Colne with the in-laws. I drove there and back and find that I’m getting more used to my new car now.
We had a nice quiet morning today and then went for lunch with my mother-in-law Anne – Boundary Mill in Colne have a nice new pizzeria. There was a lot of pizza this weekend so Geth and I will be doing Slimming World ‘SP days’ the rest of the week to make up for it!
A quiet evening in with writing and my 3DS before getting back to work tomorrow.

I had this oven pizza with the in-laws when I was in Colne over the weekend. I was so hungry that I forgot to take a photo of the actual pizza, so here’s the box instead!
I’m not usually a fan of multi-cheese pizzas (plain old mozzarella is my preference) but this one was really good. The stuffed crust was nice as well – not too rich like I sometimes find stuffed crusts to be.
Definitely a good choice for a hungry day!
I had this pizza at the Zizzi in NEC Resorts World the night that we arrived there for UKGE. Much needed after a long drive to Birmingham!
I had extra olives and peppers on this one to make it a bit more interesting (and get a slight amount of speed food in via the peppers!). I’m glad I did because the base pizza itself was fairly bland – it was the toppings that were the tasty part. Anyway, it filled a hole, which is the important thing after a long day.
This is the pizza that I had from room service in my semi-awake state after the London Marathon. Never ingested such necessary calories before!
I just sort of inhaled this one as I was in such a daze, but I did note that the sauce was amazingly delicious. Will try it again next time I’m staying at the Thistle – hopefully I’ll be at least marginally more alert!
I had this pizza at the Thistle City Barbican the night that Geth and I arrived in London for marathon weekend. Pizza is a must-have for a hotel restaurant as far as I’m concerned!
There was a little bit too much rocket on this one for me (I prefer toppings that are cooked with the pizza – when it’s covered in rocket after the fact, it’s just a salad getting in the way of my unhealthy eating moment!), but the sauce was absolutely delicious. Really glad that they’ve got this option at my favourite London hotel!
I went to Newcastle restaurant Pizza Punks for the first time last week, but it will definitely not be the last time! Both the pizza and the music were great and I will be finding excuses to go back again.
The pizza wasn’t actually this strange red/pink colour – that’s just an effect of the neon strip lighting used in the restaurant.
It was a really good pizza – it had a lovely textured base and the best tasting sauce! I had a DIY/create-your-own with tomatoes, onions, olives and potato. If you’ve not tried potato on a pizza, I really recommend it if you can find it in a good restaurant – it’s a bit difficult to get it right at home.
