Weekend, it starts to get cold and a ‘sofa, blanket and movie’ plan becomes the most appetizing… although it wouldn’t be complete without a pizza. With different varieties where you can taste it, prepared from the supermarket, from a restaurant that serves at home, homemade or from one of the pizza chains with the most presence in Spain, on this last option (OCU) to assess the products offered by Telepizza, Domino’s and Papa Johns.
A group of experts cooks up to six different varieties of pizza from the three most consumed companies on the Iberian Peninsula. Looking exhaustively at barbecue and cheese, the two ingredients that the average consumer requests the most, the conclusion they have reached is that this product must be more for a “whim” than for the usual intake.
And it is that if pizza is already a caloric food (even the most typical of Italy), those that are served at home also have a considerable fat content, are very rich in saturated fats and have a lot of salt. With all this, the analyst group in charge of the OCU looked especially at the dough, ingredients and baking time to determine which is the best brand, resulting in the global all of them much better than the supermarket ones.
Analyzing the shape of the pizza triangles (since most are already cut like this), their rigidity and whether or not they were properly baked to acquire this shape were also observed. Regarding the ingredients, their variety and quality were valued, given that not all chains serve the same quantity and the same product, even though the formats of barbecue and cheese are similar. In addition, it has been highlighted that all of them are around an average price of 12.95 euros for the medium-sized unit.
Domino’s barbecue, the best to order
With all this, in both formats, the winning firm turned out to be Domino’s. With the best recipe of the three, the one from got a score of 74 out of 100, while it took 73 out of 100. For its part, Telepizza was the second best valued, 60 and 56 points in and , with Papa Jonh’s as the last of the three, 50 and 54 points respectively (here the variety of cheeses is instead of the usual four).
The success of these firms has pushed most restaurants to serve their pizzas at home
Two American brands and one Spanish that have managed to sneak into homes with a high presence, given their clear commitment to pizzas served directly for consumption and without the need for the customer to move from the sofa at home.
With such success that they are currently competing head-to-head with restaurants -most serve at home to enter this niche-, supermarkets -the OCU stands out above all brands- and homemade ones -undoubtedly much healthier and the best recommendation for indulging in that whim that rounds off a weekend without leaving home.
