About Ristorante
Ristorante is Dr Oetker's flagship frozen pizza brand, renowned for its famously thin and crispy base topped with carefully balanced Italian-inspired ingredients. Dr Oetker is a German multinational food company with UK operations based in Leeds and Leyland, and Ristorante has become one of Britain's most popular frozen pizza choices. The brand delivers restaurant-quality pizza experiences at home, competing in the UK's £721 million frozen pizza market. The core Ristorante range features classic Italian favourites including Mozzarella (topped with creamy mozzarella slices, pesto, and cherry tomatoes), Pepperoni-Salame (mozzarella with pepperoni salami), Quattro Formaggi (a four-cheese blend of mozzarella, edam, emmental, and blue cheese cream), and Funghi (mushrooms with edam and mozzarella). Dr Oetker also offers meat-free options including Quorn Pesto Pizza, plus Gluten Free and Lactose Free versions for dietary requirements. In 2024, Dr Oetker launched Ristorante Primo, a premium tier positioned between standard Ristorante pizzas and super-premium options from brands like Zizzi and Crosta & Mollica. The thin-crust Primo range launched in August 2024 across all major grocers, alongside new flavours like Pepperoni Mozzarella Pesto (£3.85/360g). This expansion targets shoppers seeking affordable restaurant-quality alternatives as the cost of living crisis drives consumers from chilled and out-of-home pizza options to the frozen category. Ristorante pizzas are widely available at all major UK supermarkets including Tesco, ASDA, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, and Amazon Fresh.
