Pizza dough delivered: every UK brand compared
Sorted by cost per pizza before delivery. Read the delivery column carefully — it changes the order.
If you want pizza dough balls delivered in the UK, you have at least eighteen brands to choose between, selling frozen and chilled dough in packs of six to forty. They range from 83p to £2.58 a ball before delivery, and once shipping is added the cheapest headline price is not always the cheapest pizza. This table lays out pack size, weight per ball, delivery cost, format and the full ingredients declaration for each one, so you can compare what you are actually buying rather than what the marketing says. If you would rather not do the arithmetic, our cost calculator works out the real price per pizza for the number you actually want, including delivery and your postcode.
About the ratings below. We have not tested these doughs. Where a seller publishes a customer rating we record it, per source, with the count and the month we checked it — never blended into a single score, because a 5.0 from nine people and a 4.7 from 739 are not the same fact. Ratings are the seller’s own unless stated. Where a brand publishes no product rating we record their company-wide score and label it — that measures delivery and service, not the dough. They do not affect the order of this table and we publish no score of our own until a dough has been baked twice. Our method.

Ingredients, delivery, awards, ratings and our verdictWheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Water, Salt, Wheat Fibre, Sugar, Yeast, Olive Oil. Contains wheat. Vegan recipe; not suitable for milk and egg allergy sufferers due to production methods. Awards: None claimed Delivery: No delivery charge, threshold or regional term published anywhere on the site. Our verdict — same declared recipe, baked as the supermarket pack We baked the two-ball Original box from Sainsbury’s rather than this one, and it was poor: it did not stretch, it never developed a crust worth the name, and it baked out dry as cardboard. We are applying that verdict here because on every fact either product publishes, they are the same dough. The ingredients declaration is identical word for word, the ball weight is the same 220g, and both are sold frozen. If the recipe in this box differs from the one in the shop, the company does not say so anywhere we can find, and we have asked. There is a price point buried in that. This box works out at £1.83 a ball before delivery. The same declared dough, the same weight, also frozen, is £1.30 a ball in the supermarket — so buying direct from the maker costs about 41% more per ball, before any postage is added on top.

It stretched and handled without fighting back, so opening it into a base was straightforward, and it cooked a little better — the leoparding underneath was clearly the best of the pair.

Excludes the Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, Isle of Man, Scottish Islands and some IV postcodes. Our order — what happened We have not been able to review this dough, because the one box we ordered never arrived in a usable state. It was sent frozen while we were out. We asked DPD to redirect it to a locker for same-day collection; that did not happen and the parcel went back to the depot, reaching us two days later with the dough spoiled. The failed redirect was the courier’s, not the seller’s. What the seller decided was what came next: we told Great Balls of Flour what had happened and they declined to replace the box or refund it. So we paid for a dough we could not bake, and we still cannot tell you whether it is any good. The general lesson is worth more than our one bad order. Every frozen and chilled dough on this page is perishable and shipped by a courier who does not know that. A redirect, a safe-place drop or a missed delivery can write off the whole box, and whether you get your money back is entirely down to the seller’s discretion. Order for a day you will be in, and check the seller’s policy on spoiled or delayed perishables before you buy, not after.

Why so much of this table says "cannot be calculated". Seven of the eighteen brands do not publish a standard delivery charge at all, one publishes only a free-delivery threshold with no flat rate below it, and one does not publish a verified pack. That is why nine of the eighteen rows cannot show a delivered cost per pizza. That is not an oversight on our part — it is the state of the category. A buyer cannot work out what a pizza costs them without putting a box in the basket and going most of the way to checkout.
We will complete these rows as we place each order, and we will publish what we were actually charged.
Common questions about delivered pizza dough
What does pizza dough delivery actually cost?
Between 83p and £2.58 a ball before delivery, across the eighteen UK brands in the table above. Where a flat delivery charge is published at all it runs from £3.50 to £6.49, usually waived above a threshold of £15 to £75. On a single pack with delivery paid, expect £2.50 to £2.75 a pizza.
The catch is that seven of the eighteen publish no standard delivery charge at all, so the true cost only appears at checkout.
Is frozen pizza dough as good as chilled?
They are different trade-offs rather than better and worse. Frozen dough keeps for three to eighteen months depending on the brand, so you bake when you want rather than when the dough dictates. Chilled dough arrives ready to prove and skips the defrost, but gives you days rather than months, and it is the format most likely to arrive in poor condition in warm weather.
What matters more than either is how you bring the dough to room temperature. Most complaints about delivered dough tearing come down to a rushed defrost.
How big a pizza does one dough ball make?
The balls in this comparison run from 220g to 270g. A 250g ball opens comfortably to a 12-inch Neapolitan base; 220g gives you a 10 to 11 inch base or a thinner 12; 260 to 270g suits a thicker New York style or a deeper rim.
Weight per ball is the figure to check when comparing prices — two brands at £2.00 a ball are not the same deal if one is 220g and the other 250g.
Which delivered pizza dough is cheapest?
The Dough Ball Pizza Company at 83p a ball on its 48-ball box, then Fuego at £1.45 on its current sale, Outi Pizza at £1.50 and Homemade Pizza Club at £1.63 — all before delivery. The catch with the cheapest is that you are buying 48 at once. Neither Outi nor Northern Dough publishes a standard delivery charge, so the cheapest dough delivered may well be Woody Oven at £2.50 all-in, or better still any brand where you clear the free-delivery threshold in one order.
Where the figures come from
All prices, pack sizes, delivery terms and declarations read from the sellers' own websites on 6 September 2026 and re-checked on 7 September, except The Northern Dough Co's ingredients, taken from the manufacturer's declaration on the Ocado listing because their own product page does not carry one. Cost per ball is pack price ÷ number of balls. Cost per pizza delivered adds the standard UK mainland delivery charge to a single pack, which is the worst case — most brands drop it above a threshold. Award claims are recorded where the brand states them on its own site, or where we can point to a named report: five of the eighteen claim or hold a Great Taste award, and one more advertises being “award-winning” without naming an award, a year or a body. We also check the Guild of Fine Food’s own register of currently-valid awards, which is how we found two brands with awards they never mention and one claiming an award we cannot trace. Awards are given per product, not per brand, so we check individual product pages — a badge in a site header is not evidence that a particular dough won anything. Only one producer in this category publishes its own star count — Bertha’s, since our September re-check; everywhere else we quote stars, the source is the Guild register or press coverage. Prices change, and so do declarations: between our two readings, one day apart, four producers began publishing ingredients or pack details they had not published before. We date every reading and re-check quarterly.
