A 410g margherita from Italpizza, an Italian manufacturer whose pizzas Aldi stocks alongside its own labels. The la Numero Uno range is their supermarket line, and the topping is the classic pair of tomato sauce and mozzarella with nothing else. The pizza is hand-stretched and baked in a wood-fired oven in Italy before freezing, which is what produces the puffed, blistered cornicione on the pack. Hand stretching leaves an uneven rim where machine pressing gives a uniform one. A margherita is the hardest frozen pizza to hide behind. With only sauce and cheese, the base does the work, and shortcuts in the dough show immediately. It's also the only pizza in the Aldi Australia freezer that isn't an Aldi label, which is worth knowing when comparing it to the Specially Selected pizzas next to it.
