Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Dr Oetker Ristorante Pizza Pollo has been discontinued The savoury delight came with a tomato base and was topped with chicken, sweetcorn and herbs. It cost around £3 and was found in the frozen aisle of supermarkets like Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Iceland. Eagle-eyed customers took to social media to find out what happened to the Italian-inspired dish. Writing on X, one customer said: "I cannot find your pizza pollo anywhere anymore. "I am absolutely gutted as it was my fave. Has it been discontinued???" A spokesperson confirmed in a response to the customer that the pizza flavour was no more. They said: "Our Pollo pizza has been discontinued in the UK, but we'll let our pizza experts know that you want it back! Thanks." The move will come as a blow to shoppers who in the past described it as "delicious." Another shopper said the pizza was their "family's favourite". They said: "The amount of tomato and cheese is just right on the base then you get the toppings of chicken and spinach which are delicious." Beloved pizza chain to close down for good in just weeks after 54 years Dr. Oetker still has a range of flavours available to customers, including Mozzarella and Hawaiian. The news comes in the same week pizza lovers were told that Domino's Ultimate Chicken Mexicana Pizza was axed. The menu option combined spiced pulled chicken, juicy tomatoes, crunchy onions, spicy jalapenos and green and red peppers, topped with a spiced mayo drizzle. However, Domino's has now confirmed it has been dropped from menus. MORE DISCONTINUED FOOD Foodies were also devastated to learn that Greggs has axed two menu items. The Chargrill Chicken Oval Bite and Spicy Veg Curry Bake are no longer being sold in stores. Elsewhere, Sticky soy sauce has now permanently disappeared from the Wetherspoon menu. The Asian-inspired dip, which was often served with breast bites, was a popular choice amongst diners. Spoons has also cut steak, mixed grills and gammon from menus across the country in a cost-cutting shake-up. But it is not all bad news for punters as the chain has launched a range of new Gourmet Burgers. Spoons also launched a £2.99 breakfast deal in February, with customers able to get a breakfast muffin or small breakfast with soft or hot drink.

Dr. Oetker Issues a PS"EH" About Their Canadian Made Pizzas: "It's Pronounced Ris ᐧ Toh ᐧ Ron ᐧ T ᐧ EH" Français
TORONTO, April 28, 2025 /CNW/ - Dr. Oetker is helping Canadians find their Canadian Made frozen pizzas with a pronunciation PS"EH": it's "Ge ᐧ Se ᐧ P ᐧ EH", "Ris ᐧ Toh ᐧ Ron ᐧ T ᐧ EH," and "Ca ᐧ Sa ᐧ Dee ᐧ Ma ᐧ M ᐧ EH." Amid tariff tensions, Canadians who want to buy Canadian are challenged by multiple and misleading packaging labels. How many of us have spent long minutes frozen with indecision in the frozen aisle squinting at box after box, trying to see where they were made? Now, Dr. Oetker has apologized (how Canadian!) to anyone who didn't know that their three most popular pizza lines — Giuseppe, Ristorante, and Casa di Mama — are made in their Ontario facilities (except for the vegan, gluten-free, and specialty products). The brand is rolling out packaging stickers and out-of-home pronunciation guides to make the pizzas' patriotic spirit super clear, eh. "For over fifty years, Dr. Oetker Canada has been serving up delicious, easy-to-make meals in Canadian kitchens," states Laura Jones, Marketing Manager. "We're committed to Canadian manufacturing, with most of our products made in Canada using locally sourced ingredients. Dr. Oetker is sticking with Canadian workers, Canadian ingredients, Canadian values, and Canadian made – like we hope every Canadian does." "We leaned into a playful campaign to connect with Canadians on an emotional level – bringing some fun and national pride to the conversation. While our brands offer an authentic Italian pizzeria experience, make no mistake, we're proudly made right here in Canada… Ultimately, Dr. Oetker is about celebrating the rich diversity of Canada and bringing everyone to the table," says Zineb Benslimane, Senior Brand Manager. Ristorante, Giuseppe, and Casa di Mama are made in London and Mississauga, Ontario. Dr. Oetker's London, Ontario facility produces 400,000 pizzas daily, supporting 430 jobs and a thriving agri-food community. They source wheat from Ontario and Alberta, tomato sauce from Leamington, and cheese from Ontario and Quebec — using 53,000 pounds of Canadian cheese per day. The brand is grateful for their Canadian partners and proud to contribute to Ontario's growing agri-food sector.
