Take-away pizza is one of the biggest rip-offs and they are laden with bad calories. here's a simple tip:

1) buy an ALDI large tomato and cheese pizza base (NOT in frozen section)

2) add leftover veggies, ground meats

3) bake for 12-15 minutes on medium heat

A perfect dinner for 2-3 for under GBP 1.50

    What the American & Canadians say for minced meats.
  • Even cheaper if you make your own base - mine is rising as I type this.

    All you need is some strong flour (bread flour), some yeast, a touch of sugar to get the yeast working, a tiny pinch of salt is optional but it helps the rising I find, a glug of oil and mix. Knead until you have had enough of boring kneading, set it somewhere warm, roll it out and off you go.

    AOD my bread machine has a pizza dough setting, and it's used regularly. I can't knead due to arthritic hands unfortunately. I also throw in a spoonful of poppy seeds in the mix.

  • Mine does too LW but I have never quite got round to trying it. I have arthritis in my ancient paws too and I think I probably will need to start using the machine but a present am using my own energy. I tend to knead a bit until the paws tire. It rises even with a short kneading time.

    I tend to schedule pizza into the meal plan when I reckon I'll need to make a loaf. Reason is, the BM lives on top of the fridge/freezer when not in use, and doing this gets two uses out of it for Mr Wolf only fetching it down once. ;)
    Sadly my poorly paws are just too painful and weak to even consider kneading by hand.:(

    We have a pizza oven which gets used during the good weather ~ not often enough in this wet country

    However Im not adverse to buying the Tescos frozen pizza - 3 for £5 - when the kids and grandkids are here. 3 with salad and French fries and coleslaw will easily feed 4 adults and 2 kids
