The new service will give customers the ability to create their own pizza, which they can then cook at home.
The pizzas will be made by staff while they do the rest of their shopping.
Customers will still need to pay for their pizza at a manned till.
The screens are currently available at three stores, including Warrington, Gamston and Guiseley and will be rolled out to 20 additional shops soon.
Pictures seen by The Sun suggested that shoppers could choose between four pizza bases including 10 inch thin and crispy, 10 inch deep pan, 10 inch gluten free and 14 inch thin and crispy.
There were also two cheese options on offer, including mozzarella and a vegan alternative.
Hungry shoppers could also choose to add tomato, BBQ or garlic sauce to their pizza and finish it off with four toppings.
Additional toppings could also be added for 50p each.
Shoppers took to social media to voice their excitement.
One customer said: "Perfect, now I can order pineapple pizza without the funny looks."

Another said: "Omg we'll have to have a pizza night."
While a third added: "50p extra per topping, what a bargain."
The news comes after the supermarket launched a major overhaul of its in-store services earlier this year.
In March, Morrisons announced that it would close 18 Market Kitchens, 13 florists, 35 meat counters, 35 fish counters and four pharmacies.
How to save at Morrisons
Buying a delivery pass can slash the cost of shopping online if you're a Morrisons regular.
You also get priorities for Christmas delivery slots.
How much it costs depends on which you get anytime or mid-week, and if it's for the year, six-months or monthly.
You'll need to work out the cost compared to how much you spend on delivery without one to see if it's worthwhile.
Morrisons does a range of wonky veg that can work out cheaper than the main range.
Check websites like Quidco and TopCashback BEFORE you place your order.
Cashback websites PAY you to shop. All you have to do is click through their links and the money is added to your online account.
Search for discount codes on websites like MyVoucherCodes.co.uk and VoucherCodes.co.uk to see if you can get money off at the till.
Follow your favourite shops on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and sign up to its deals newsletter to get the latest on any offers. We post the best deals in our Sun Money FB group too.
Try switching all of your branded or premium goods for lower level ones and see if you notice the difference.
Morrisons regularly adds new products to its 'own-brand "savers" range.
This is its value range where prices start from as little as 20p.
It includes all sorts of products including peas, spaghetti, marmalade, jaffa cakes and washing up liquid.
Swap your usual items for savers alternatives and see if you can tell the difference.
Shoppers can earn points with the More Than loyalty scheme when they spend online or in store.
How many points you earn will depend on the offers available at the time, plus you get five points for every litre of fuel at Morrisons petrol stations.
Reach 5,000 points and you get £5 off your shopping, plus there are other offers and coupons and the checkout and via the app.
Shoppers also get cheaper prices that are just for members.
The shake-up was rolled out over the following months and put 365 workers at risk of redundancy.
It also closed 17 smaller Morrisons Daily branches.
Rami Baitieh, chief executive of Morrisons, said that the plans would 'reinvigorate' the supermarket and allow it to invest in other parts of the business.
He added: "In most locations the Morrisons Café has a bright future, but a minority have specific local challenges and in those locations, regrettably, closure and re-allocation of the space is the only sensible option.
'Market Street is a beacon of differentiation for Morrisons and we remain committed to it.
"But as we modernise we are making some necessary changes to the areas of the model which are simply uneconomic.'
The supermarket last month revealed that it will shift towards selling more premium products as part of an overhaul of the brand.
The new project, called 'Morrisons Magic' aims to improve customers' experiences.
The chain's launch of 'Market Street' is also part of plans to modernise the brand.
Morrisons will focus on farm shop-style products, such as value-added items including foil trays for sauced, marinate, breaded and ready-to-cook fish.
The supermarket hopes that Market Street will be more accessible and will attract more amateur home cooks.
Morrisons also announced a huge change to its loyalty scheme last month.
Shoppers can now earn More Points when they're not shopping at the supermarket thanks to its brand new perk.
Morrisons More Card holders can collect points with more than 300 popular brands including eBay, Just Eat, Expedia, Asos and Very.
The Morrisons More Card already enables shoppers to bank points on selected products by scanning their More Card or app.
Once 5,000 More Points are collected shoppers will be given a Morrisons Fiver, a £5 voucher that they can redeem on their next shop in store or online.
Previously shoppers could only get the points when shopping in Morrisons.
The change means that customers can now get rewards on all their shopping, including takeaways, gadgets, holidays and clothes.
What else is happening at supermarkets?
Asda has revealed a major shake up across 180 of its in-store cafes this week as it introduces new digital ordering screens.
The chain will begin the makeover this month and all works will be completed by the end of October.
The 180 cafes, managed by Compass Group, will be upgraded to include new digital ordering screens, where shoppers can choose which food and drinks they want.
Customers will also be able to order from their tables or via staffed tills.
It will also introduce several new menu items including smashed avocado on toast, katsu chicken curry, topped salad bowls and wraps.
Shoppers will also be able to buy full 12 inch pizzas or single pizzas slices from the cafes for the first time too.
Meanwhile, Iceland will close two stores in days in a blow to the high street.
The frozen food specialist is shutting a location in Margate, Kent, on June 21.
A further branch will close for good in Inverness, Scotland, on July 12.
Staff at both branches have been offered roles at surrounding stores 'where possible'.
Earlier this month M&S revealed it is bringing back shopping after weeks of issues.
The posh supermarket was forced to suspend its online shopping after it was hit by a massive cyber attack.
You can now place orders online with standard delivery to England, Scotland and Wales.
Delivery to Northern Ireland will resume in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Click & Collect, next-day delivery, nominated day delivery and international ordering will return in the coming weeks.

Shoppers spot discontinued Maltesers flavour back on UK supermarket shelves after a decade

Plus how to save money when buying chocolate SAVVY shoppers have spotted a discontinued Maltesers flavour back on UK supermarkets shelves after a decade away. The happy news was posted on the very popular Facebook group NewfoodsUK. Advertisement 2 A new flavour of Maltesers was spotted on supermarket shelves Credit: Alamy New Maltesers discovered in Sainsburys 2 Shoppers spotted the sharer bag of White Chocolate Maltesers in Sainsburys Credit: Facebook / Newfoodsuk The image of the sharer bag was captioned: "More to share bags of the new White Chocolate Maltesers now available at Sainsbury's" The post racked up nearly 500 likes and 200 comments from chocolate fans eager to share their excitement. One user wrote: "Had a whole bag to myself Friday night, nice, love Maltesers. "I did buy from Sainsbury's was on a nectar offer too." Advertisement Another said: "I would love these." "This is what I was looking for last week!," declared a third fan. Another added: "I need these." Many more claimed they looked "yummy" and couldn't wait to buy them. Advertisement The White chocolate snacks Maltesers' new white chocolate snacks are available at major retailers — but sweet lovers will need to act fast before they sell out. They were the white chocolate version of Maltesers. The key difference between them and the original was that, instead of being covered in milk chocolate, they were covered in a delicious white chocolate coating. Maltesers are round balls of malted milk covered in chocolate. Advertisement They were launched in 1937 after being created by American Forrest Mars Sr. Maltesers were were originally aimed at "dieting women" as a "lighter" way to enjoy chocolate. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger. They have since become popular across Europe and in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. White Maltesers were discontinued in 2014 White Maltesers were pulled from shelves 11 years after they first launched in 2003. Advertisement White Maltesers were originally launched as a seasonal product but became so popular that they began being sold all year round. It has been reported that they were discontinued due low sales but many chocolate lovers were devastated to see the end of their run. In 2017 a petition was started to bring the sweet treat back. The petition's creator had hoped to garner 2,500 signatures of support but as of March 2024 only 1,637 had signed the campaign. Advertisement In 2022 Mars launched a dark chocolate version of Maltesers.

Amazon offers 15-minute food and drink deliveries via GoPuff deal - has it launched in your area?

Amazon now offers 15-minute grocery deliveries in areas across Britain as part of a new partnership with US firm GoPuff. The US tech giant said shoppers can order thousands of grocery products, including fresh food and alcohol, for delivery from local 'micro-fulfilment centres'. Orders are available for arrival in under an hour and as fast as 15 minutes, available all day, every day, according to Amazon. Pennsylvania-based GoPuff was one of many ultra-fast grocery delivery companies that expanded quickly during the pandemic when lockdowns heightened consumer demand. Turkey-based rival Getir pulled out of the UK, Europe and the US last year after its finances came under pressure and it kickstarted a cost-cutting drive. Amazon's new UK offering follows an initial launch in May, with services rolled out to residents in Birmingham and Salford. The service is now available in Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Chessington, Coventry, Derby, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Salford, Sheffield and Swansea. It joins grocery retailers Morrisons and Iceland, which are available to Amazon's UK customers. The online share of UK food sales skyrocketed during the pandemic, but has since stabilised. Around 9 per cent of all food retail sales were made online as of December 2024, compared to a 2021 peak of 12 per cent, according to Statistica. Russell Jones, Amazon's director of grocery partnerships, said: 'We are always working to give customers more choice and more convenient options to have their groceries delivered. 'The new launch with GoPuff brings our customers access to a convenient and affordable way to access their everyday groceries.'
