"A dream come true – supermarket launches festive pizza and customers say “I would take this over a Christmas dinner”

A major UK supermarket has created a Christmas dinner pizza, topped with pigs in blankets and stuffing - and customers are loving it.

Bringing a major festive twist to the nation’s favourite comfort meal; pizza, Asda has announced the return of its Christmas dinner pizza.

This Christmas tree-shaped pizza has toppings of popular, traditional Christmas trimmings. As the ultimate meal this festive season, Asda has combined the love for Christmas dinners with the nation’s otherwise meal of choice. 

Back by popular demand for another consecutive year, Asda’s Christmas Dinner Pizza (£5) is now available in stores. 

Launching on Asda’s Instagram, comments from followers include: “fully a dream come true”, “brilliant” and “I would 100% take this over a Christmas Dinner”.

Made fresh daily at Asda’s in-store pizza counters, the festive delight is a thin, stone-baked tomato pizza base with toppings of diced chicken, pigs in blankets, pork pieces, stuffing balls and grated mozzarella.

It’s finished with a drizzle of cranberry sauce, which comes in a separate sachet so that customers can smother it to their preferred sauciness at home.  

Serving two, it’s an ideal centrepiece for festive gatherings when sliced and shared, or as a meal for during cosy at-home evenings. 

Taking just 9-11 minutes in the oven, it’s the ideal choice for shoppers who want a festive, hassle-free meal during the hustle and bustle season. 

Kathryn Saveall, product development manager of pizza’s at Asda says “What could be better at Christmas time than more fun ways to enjoy a Christmas Dinner throughout December? 

“We’re so excited for customers to try our version of Christmas dinner... but this time, on a pizza! We want customers to indulge their taste buds with a slice of some festive fun!”.
