I just found this Christmas Dinner pizza in Asda – so it came home with me. It wasn’t planned, I’m not sure why I bought it; I wasn’t in there to buy a pizza! I was doing some Christmas food shopping and, I guess, got a little carried away 🙂

This is a Limited Edition, costing £2.30; the label says:

Tis the season for our turkey feast pizza, with tomato sauce, two cheeses, pigs in blankets and sage and onion stuffing balls. 
After baking finish off with a drizzle of cranberry sauce.

There’s even a sachet of cranberry sauce contained in the pack! I’ll be cooking this a bit later…..

It is “just” a 10″ thin & crispy pizza, which, technically, serves two, so we’ll have to see how that goes. I’ll probably eat 2/3rds of the pizza hot and nibble the remainder, cold, throughout the day 🙂

I do hope it’s nice and worth waiting for!

Asda Christmas Pizza Review

Firstly, this pizza was a generous 10″, I had to slice off a small piece so it fitted into my mini oven. The cheese was very generous too, much more generous than I’ve seen on some other Asda pizzas – maybe I got lucky 🙂

Pigs in Blankets Pizza Topping!

There were six pigs in blankets on the pizza topping – I did think about rearranging these so they were evenly distributed, but I decided that, as I was going to eat it all anyway at some point, there was no benefit to doing that.

I was “worried” that the sausages and bacon wouldn’t cook properly as the cooking instructions said to pre-heat the oven, then cook for just 9-11 minutes. I did peek a bit closer at the pigs in blankets and they had been cooked a little bit already, so I figured they must’ve already thought about that 🙂

Due to being “a little nervous” about the pigs in blankets not being cooked properly, instead of following the cooking instructions on the label, I cooked it for 15 minutes on the bottom shelf of my toaster oven, then moved the rack up to the highest position (directly under the grill element) for five minutes.

I am not a fan of pigs in blankets, I never buy or cook them for Christmas dinner, but I reluctantly ate one and decided that I did like THESE ones. That was a shocker!

The mini sage & onion stuffing balls were very finely shredded before being made, so they were an unexpectedly delightful little nibble too. Very moist and tasty.

When I bought this I thought I’d made a mistake I’d regret… as it turned out, this was a surprisingly lovely pizza and I’d certainly buy one another Christmas if I was passing.

However, if I were to make this Christmas pizza myself, from scratch, I’d make the pigs in blankets smaller as they were quite awkward to eat due to their size

In the end, today I ate half the pizza, then boxed it up in the fridge. The second half was eaten, cold, across the day as I reached into the fridge and pulled out a slice at a time 🙂
