It’s not entirely clear when Aldi U.K. introduced the Carlos Takeaway BBQ Chicken frozen pizza, but a press release from 2021 heralded the introduction of takeaway (i.e., takeout) style pies. The pizzas, which included Meat Feast, Cheese Feast, and Double Pepperoni, featured fresh toppings and plenty of them, much like the BBQ Chicken variety. The quality of the pies was definitely not lost on Aldi shoppers in the U.K., who made some bold claims. According to one person, the new pizzas were “Just like Domino’s,” but cost substantially less than the well-known pizza purveyor. In fact, the press release claimed that these pies were about 84% less expensive than similar pizzas available at Domino’s.
Unfortunately, no such BBQ chicken pizza exists in the U.S., and it doesn’t appear that the Carlos line is available in U.S. stores either. Aldi fans in the States will have to make do with Mama Cozzi’s BBQ Beast smokehouse style pizza, which features BBQ sauce and beef, along with pepperoni, bacon bits, and pork belly crumbles, among other toppings.
