9 Grocery Stores With Fresh Pizza Better Than Takeout

Everyone has an opinion on pizza, and those who love it have favorite varieties they go back to time and time again.

But fast food and delivery services aren’t so fast anymore, and they don’t necessarily save you money.

We’ve rounded up nine grocery stores that sell fresh, refrigerated, or fully baked pizzas that rival the best delivery to help you stretch your eating-out budget.

Editor's note: Prices are subject to change and may vary by location.

Sam’s Club sells 16-inch pizzas made fresh daily at each location for under $9. Depending on availability, you can choose from pepperoni, cheese, or four-meat options, with pepperoni, bacon, ham, and Italian sausage.

Some Redditors even raved about a supreme pizza option, though the website didn’t list it as a current offering.

If you want a fresh slice without buying the whole pie, you can nab a giant one and a soda for $2.50 in the food court.

If you thought a 16-inch pizza from Sam’s Club couldn’t be beat at that price, Costco may have one-upped their competitor with an 18-inch, 12-slice pizza for just $9.95.

They only have two options for full pies: cheese or pepperoni. Reddit user TheGame81677 raves about it, and it seems to have become a cult classic food item.

Slices of these two options and pork topping substitutes are available a la carte for $1.99 each.

East Coast grocer Wegmans carries popular, fully-cooked, fresh pizzas.

Their original crust pizza has medium, 17-ounce options that feed two to three people for around $12 each and large, 41-ounce options meant to feed three to four that land around $18 each.

The real crown of their options? The nine- and ten-ounce naan crust specialty pizzas they offer, with varieties like buffalo chicken and Italian sausage and banana pepper. These varieties are reasonable at around $12 each.

It turns out that Walmart makes a decent refrigerated, fresh ingredient option in their Marketside pizzas.

Extra large 16-inch pizzas are available for $7.97 in varieties like five cheese, pepperoni, ultimate meat, and supreme.

Try $5.97 12-inch pizzas in the same flavors or a variety of 11-ounce flatbreads for under $5. They even carry a breakfast pizza with a biscuit crust, which you can grab for $9.62.

ShopRite also sells a variety of fresh pizzas at a great price. Their 12-inch pizzas are $7.99 and include cheese, pepperoni, and vegetable options.

ShopRite carries 16-inch pizzas in flavors like cheese, buffalo chicken, and pepperoni that average $9.99 each. Check your grocery aisles for gluten-free options at your location.

You can grab a take-and-bake artisan pizza from the Signature Cafe at the deli at Acme grocery stores. These pies are available with SNAP and come in two sizes: a 19.2-ounce option for $9.99 and a 38.2-ounce Family Size option for $14.99.

Choose from pepperoni, supreme, meat lovers, and cheese, with other flavor options depending on your local chain. Reviewers on the Acme website cite a “wonderful crust” and “fresh taste” from the brand.

Grocery giant Kroger carries Home Chef Ready to Bake pizzas in its deli in fun varieties like Italian Style Supreme, Meat Lovers, Pepperoni, and Five Cheese.

These 24-ounce, five-serving pizzas are ready in 16 minutes and available for $7.99. Kroger also carries a variety of 14.1-ounce flatbread options for $6.99, often on sale for $1 off. 

Did you know you can order fresh, hot-from-the-oven pizza from Whole Foods for pickup or delivery? The popular chain store is known for prioritizing higher-quality and organic ingredients.

Amazon Prime members can get a large one-topping pizza every Friday for just $12 and order it directly from the Whole Foods Market app. Whole Foods also sells pizza by the slice for $3.99.

You may not have guessed it, but Aldi’s Mama Cozzi take-and-bake options are great, and “Aldi Finds” vary seasonally.

Even so, you can often find 16-inch pizzas with pepperoni, cheese, five cheese, supreme, sausage, and more for $7.95. ALDI even stocks popular thin-crust options.

Their cauliflower crust pizzas — which come in cheese, pepperoni, and veggie — are just $8.79 for a 12-inch pie.

More grocery stores are attracting customers with fresh pizza options sourced from local ingredients and with healthier options than your run-of-the-mill chain delivery spot.

Not only will you save money on groceries and your next pizza night, but these great quality pizzas will be in your hands faster than delivery.
