What comes with the Margherita Pizza
- 01
Thin pizza base
The thin, crisp base provides a crunchy foundation beneath the softer tomato sauce and melting mozzarella.
- 02
Tomato sauce
A generous coating of rich, tangy tomato sauce brings sweetness and acidity to balance the creamy cheese.
- 03
Mozzarella
Melting mozzarella blankets the tomato sauce, adding a creamy flavour and gooey texture against the crisp crust.
- 04
Fresh basil
A scattering of fresh basil adds an aromatic herbal finish to the tomato and mozzarella toppings.
What the Margherita Pizza is like
Expect a crisp, thin base with a softer topping of tomato sauce and melting mozzarella. The contrast is the main appeal: crunch from the crust, then gooey cheese and a generous layer of sauce. Tomato brings both sweetness and tang, while the mozzarella contributes a creamy flavour rather than competing with the sauce.
Fresh basil adds an aromatic finish to that straightforward combination. With just tomato, cheese and herbs over the base, this is a pizza for diners who want those flavours to remain the focus. It is served hot from the oven and can suit sharing, though the simple topping list alone does not tell you how substantial a meal it will be.
Is the Margherita Pizza good value?
At a typical £5.99, this pizza is the lowest priced of the 8 items we track in this section in the pizza section we track. Its value rests on whether you want a straightforward tomato, mozzarella and basil combination rather than a wider range of toppings. Prices vary by pub, so check locally before ordering.
Compare it with Roasted Vegetable Pizza if you want another vegetarian option, or Pepperoni Pizza if vegetarian suitability is not a priority. Many mains can be ordered with an eligible drink, but check whether this pizza qualifies and compare the local meal price with ordering separately.
Margherita Pizza calories and nutrition
As listed, before any extra sides, sauces or drinks.
The listed pizza contains 959 kcal, equivalent to about 48% of the 2,000 kcal daily reference intake. It is the second lowest calorie of the 8 items we track in this section in the pizza section we track, which gives you a useful comparison before choosing between pizzas.
Use that figure as the starting point for your order, not the total for a meal with extras. Adding chips, another side, sauces or a drink changes the overall intake. Check the information for each addition separately, and do not assume that a simple topping combination makes this a low-calorie choice.

Recipes and suppliers change, and kitchens handle all 14 major allergens. Always tell staff about an allergy and check the official allergen information before ordering. No dish can be guaranteed allergen free.
The Margherita Pizza is tagged vegetarian, and our data lists cereals containing gluten and milk as allergens. Mozzarella is part of the topping, so the listed dish is not a vegan choice.
Anyone avoiding gluten or milk should check the pub's current allergen information before ordering. Ask staff about preparation and cross-contact if you have an allergy or coeliac disease. Requested swaps or additions can change the allergen profile, so do not rely on the original listing for a modified order.
When to order the Margherita Pizza
Vegetarian pub meals
Choose this if you want a vegetarian pizza centred on tomato, mozzarella and basil. Check current allergen information separately if dietary suitability involves more than avoiding meat.
Simple topping preferences
This suits diners who prefer a short topping list and a clear contrast between crisp crust, tangy tomato and creamy cheese, rather than several competing flavours.
Sharing at the table
Consider it for sharing when your group wants a straightforward vegetarian option. Decide on any extra sides separately rather than assuming they come with the pizza.
What to order with the Margherita Pizza
Side Salad
£1.99Choose a Side Salad if you want something alongside the pizza without repeating its bread and cheese components; check the current contents before ordering.
Bowl of Chips
£3.49A Bowl of Chips makes sense if you want an extra side for the table, particularly when sharing the pizza rather than ordering individual mains.
Mini Warm Chocolate Brownie
£3.29Mini Warm Chocolate Brownie offers a chocolate finish after the savoury tomato, mozzarella and basil combination; account for the dessert separately when planning your order.
Tips for ordering the Margherita Pizza
Check the price at your chosen pub before ordering, as the typical £5.99 is a guide rather than a fixed price across locations.
Ask whether the pizza qualifies for a meal with an eligible drink, then compare that option with ordering your preferred drink separately.
Check current allergen information for cereals containing gluten and milk, and ask staff about any requested changes before placing the order.
If sharing, decide whether to add a separate side; the dish description lists the pizza components but does not specify an accompanying side.
