'Absolutely banging!' Aldi rolls out new items and announces the return of popular pizzas - with prices from £2.49

The move comes alongside the return of Aldi's protein-packed pizzas, which gained significant attention on social media last year.

The new offerings cater to both health-conscious consumers and those exploring plant-based alternatives this January.

The Carlos Protein Meat Feast Pizza, priced at £2.99, packs an impressive 37 grams of protein into its 260g stonebaked base.

The protein-rich pizza comes topped with spicy beef, smoked ham and barbecue chicken.

The product became a social media sensation on TikTok late last year, with users praising its taste.

Social media reviewers described the protein pizza as "absolutely banging" and "soooo nice".

Aldi's protein pizza range also includes the Carlos Protein Cheeseburger Pizza, retailing at £2.99 for 255g.

This variant delivers 29g of protein and features a stone-baked base made with pea protein. The pizza is topped with chilli beef and comes with red onion and gherkins for added flavour.

A generous helping of mozzarella completes the cheeseburger-inspired creation. For those seeking plant-based options, Aldi's new Carlos Vegan Pizza range offers three distinct flavours.

The stonebaked dough bases come topped with tomato sauce and vegan cheese designed for the perfect cheese pull.
