The Irresistible Mozzarella and Tomato Vodka Sauce Pizza hits shelves next week

Co-op is set to launch two limited-edition premium pizzas on March 5, bringing a touch of celebrity-inspired cuisine to British shoppers.

The star attraction will be the Irresistible Mozzarella and Tomato Vodka Sauce Pizza, inspired by A-list food trends.


The alcohol-infused creation will be joined by the equally luxurious Irresistible Mushroom and Truffle Pizza.

Both offerings aim to elevate Co-op's range with premium flavour combinations.

Priced at £5.65, the 460g Tomato Vodka Sauce Pizza features a "delicious base sauce" made from crushed tomatoes, fresh British cream and a hint of vodka to enhance the flavour.

The premium pizza is topped with generous amounts of two types of mozzarella: fior di latte balls and mozzarella petals.

Co-op's creation combines both white and red sauces, catering to shoppers who struggle to choose between tomato or creamy bases. The culmination makes for a "sophisticated" pizza option.

The second limited-edition offering, the Irresistible Mushroom and Truffle Pizza (465g), is also priced at £5.65.

This "classic" option features a creamy bechamel and black truffle sauce as its base.

It is topped with mozzarella, garlic mushrooms and spinach, creating a rich array of flavours.

The combination delivers a "refined" pizza experience for those seeking something different from traditional tomato-based options.

Both limited-edition pizzas represent Co-op's commitment to premium, restaurant-quality offerings for at-home enjoyment.

Co-op's premium pizzas are crafted using 00-grade flour and a 24-hour fermented sponge dough.


The dough is spun using a process unique to the UK and exclusive to Co-op's chilled pizzas, creating a "crisp, airy crust with perfect chewy softness".

The new limited editions complement Co-op's existing range of seven Irresistible pizzas, including Margherita, Salami Calabrese, Carbonara Bianca, Chicken Arrabbiata, Pepperoni and Hot Honey, Chianti Beef and Vegetable Antipasti.
