Tesco have launched a pizza deal to rival takeaways - but shoppers aren’t happy

Tesco Clubcard holders can get their hands on a meal deal that could rival takeaway giants like Dominos. And despite costing less than a takeaway, customers have been complaining about the price of the supermarket offer.

The pizza deal sees shoppers snap up two large pizzas, two sides and a dip stacker for £12, saving around £5.50 than if they’d paid full price.

However, some customers noticed that the deal - which ends on Tuesday, July 19 - previously cost less.

Responding to a post from Money Saving Central telling followers about the offer, one shopper said: “It used to be £10.” Another added: “This used to also be £10, they've increased their price.”

“Used to be a tenner and used to have better value,” wrote a third.

Others were quick to point out that rival supermarkets have similar deals at lower prices. One wrote: “Can get 2 pizzas, 2 sides and 4 cans of drinks in Morrisons for £10.”

“It’s only £6 in Asda for 2 pizzas, side and a pack of 4 cans of coke,” added a fifth.

Tesco has defended the deal - which is only available to Clubcard holders - saying it’s ‘great value’.

A Tesco spokesperson told Manchester Evening News: “Our Pizza Company Meal Deal for Two is the perfect treat for the weekend - and at £12 for two pizzas, two sides and a stacker dip, it’s great value.”
