The UK’s Pizza Retailer of the Year will deliver pizzas to key student locations across the country for just £3.99 this October. And the Pizza Retailer of the Year isn’t Domino’s, Pizza Hut or Papa Johns. It’s Aldi.
The supermarket is launching its first-ever pizza delivery service across Manchester, Edinburgh and Cardiff on Tuesday, 3rd October, serving up its brand-new Ultimate Takeaway range. Pizzas will cost £3.99, with no delivery charge.
With a medium Meateor pizza from Domino’s currently setting shoppers back £20.99, plus a £2.50 delivery fee, the Aldi service can save pizza lovers more than £19 per pizza delivered — that’s a whopping 83%.
Coinciding with Fresher’s Week, pizza fans within selected postcodes can pre-book their delivery time slot via the dedicated website

Aldi’s new Ultimate Takeaway range is inspired by three of Domino’s famous flavours, starting with The Meaty One (inspired by Meateor), which is a sizzling sausage and meatball feast. The Banger (inspired by Absolute Banger) is a smoky hotdog delight with a spicy kick, while The Texas Style BBQ Chicken & Bacon (inspired by Texas BBQ) boasts tangy BBQ sauce, succulent chicken and smoky bacon.
Customers can select two of the three flavours of pizza for delivery, which will be delivered hot to their door by an Aldi delivery crew. Following the delivery extravaganza, the Ultimate Takeaway range will hit stores across the UK on 9 October.
“With prices of takeaways soaring, we’re excited to be able to offer shoppers delicious pizzas at a fraction of the price of expensive high-street chains,” says Julie Ashfield, managing director of buying at Aldi UK. “The quality ingredients and affordable price of the Ultimate Takeaway range will no doubt change people’s idea of the supermarket pizza.
“Better yet, we’re thrilled to be able to deliver this product hot to shoppers’ doors and truly treat our customers to the full takeaway experience.”
