Supermarket giant Aldi has revealed it will begin its first-ever pizza delivery service from next month.
Aldi has developed a host of new "Domino's inspired" pizzas as part of its new Ultimate Takeaway range.
Customers will be able to pre-order pizzas for £3.99 each (with no delivery charge) with the delivery service beginning on October 3 in selected locations across the UK.
Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, Julie Ashfield, said: “With prices of takeaways soaring, we’re excited to be able to offer shoppers delicious pizzas at a fraction of the price of expensive high-street chains.
“The quality ingredients and affordable price of the Ultimate Takeaway range will no doubt change people’s idea of the supermarket pizza.
“Better yet, we’re thrilled to be able to deliver this product hot to shoppers’ doors and truly treat our customers to the full takeaway experience.”
