Pizza Retailer of the Year[i] Aldi has announced it’s about to start its first ever pizza delivery service across three cities on Tuesday 3rd October. Serving up its brand-new Ultimate Takeaway range, customers can pre-order pizzas for just £3.99 each, no delivery cost incurred.
With a medium Meateor pizza from Domino’s currently setting shoppers back £20.99, plus a £2.50 delivery fee, the service can save pizza lovers more than £19 per pizza delivered – that’s a whopping 83%[ii].
Launching across key student locations across the UK, Manchester, Edinburgh and Cardiff, to coincide with Fresher’s Week, pizza fans within selected postcodes will be able to pre-book their delivery timeslot via the dedicated website – aldipizzadelivery.co.uk – from today (Monday 18th September).

Within the brand-new Ultimate Takeaway range are three Domino’s inspired flavours: The Meaty One (524g) (inspired by Meateor), a sizzling sausage and meatball feast, The Banger (462g) (inspired by Absolute Banger), a smoky hotdog delight with a spicy kick, and The Texas Style BBQ Chicken & Bacon (502g) (inspired by Texas BBQ), boasting tangy BBQ sauce, succulent chicken and smoky bacon (each £3.99, 8 slices).
The delivery service will allow customers to select up to two of these delicious new flavours to be delivered hot to their door. The range, which is Aldi’s most Domino’s-like pizza offering yet, is launching in stores nationwide from 9th October, meaning those who don’t manage to bag a delivery slot can also get a pizza the action.
