Sainsbury's adds pizza to meal deals as shoppers delighted

Glasgow Times5 days ago
Making a change to supermarkets' normal offering of sandwiches, wraps, salad and pasta, Sainsbury's is now offering customers a slice of the Italian dish.
Shoppers can now buy the pizza as a snack in the three-piece meal deal combo, which also includes a drink and a main.
The pizza is served from Sainsbury's bakery section and can also be bought as a single item for £1.20.
Sainsbury's shoppers delighted as pizza added to meal deal
Sainsbury's is offering a range of pizza flavours, including Tomato, Cheese and Onion, Tomato and Mozzerella and Red Onion and Cheese.
On the Facebook Group, Man Behaving Dadly, one Sainsbury shopper shared their discovery, writing: "Fun fact. Sainsbury's allows you to have a mini pizza as a 'snack' in a meal deal if you don't fancy crisps or chocolate or whatever. I forgot to measure it, but it was easily 8-10 inches long."
Reacting to the pizza, one Facebook user wrote: "That's a huge 'snack' to include in a meal deal!"

It looks like Sainsbury's is not the only retailer offering a twist to the meal deal, as one Facebook user shared their experience in the Co-op: "Yeah, a few have some mad stuff in there now, Co-op has Cheese Twists and those pesto tomato orb things."
A second user said you can now get ice cream as part of the meal deal on offer at Tesco: "With the Tesco meal deal, you can have an ice cream as a snack at the moment - even the fancy Magnums (Magna?) are included! Happy days."
A meal deal from Sainsbury's costs between £3.95 for standard of preimum at £5.

Duck & Dagger opening helped by lettings firm Legat Owen

The Duck and Dagger opened earlier this month in the Steam Mill, in Steam Mill Street, and is another pub from the team behind the popular Coach House Inn, also in Chester. The pub's owners explained that they chose the name to reflect the city's Roman heritage and also some of their near neighbours as they opened on July 18. They said: 'We chose the name The Duck and Dagger to reflect the character of the area. 'The duck represents the many feathered locals you'll find just outside on the canal. 'And the dagger is a nod to Chester's rich Roman heritage. 'It's a name with a bit of charm and a story behind it – just like the city itself. 'We hope you'll pop in soon and see what we've done with the place.'

Meanwhile, city lettings agents Legat Owen has revealed its delight in the role it has played in securing the new pub's premises.

'This exciting addition is set to enhance Chester's vibrant food and drink scene and reflects the continued strength of the city's independent hospitality sector.

Fancy coffee shop swamped with protests after fed-up customer reveals she was charged for having croissant cut in half

The café owner defended the charge, claiming it covers an extra plate and napkin and 'skill' OH FLAKE OFF! Fancy coffee shop swamped with protests after fed-up customer reveals she was charged for having croissant cut in half Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FANCY coffee shop in northern Italy has been swamped with protests after a fed-up customer revealed she was charged extra for having her croissant cut in half. The woman, who has not been named in local media, visited Audrey Patisserie in Oderzo on Sunday for breakfast, ordering two coffees and a pastry. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Staff at Audrey's Bakery in Oderzo, Italy, charged a customer for cutting a croissant in half Credit: Newsflash 4 A woman cutting the pastry into two at the Italian coffee shop Credit: Newsflash 4 The bill shows an extra €0.10 charge for the halved croissant Credit: Newsflash But when she asked staff to slice the croissant so she could share it with her mother, she later discovered an extra €0.10 (around 9p) charge on the bill. Fuming, she shared the receipt online, writing: 'It's not about the cost, it's the principle.' Her post spread like wildfire, sparking an avalanche of fury from social media users. One user blasted: 'You have to hate your customers to charge them €0.10 to cut a croissant in half. 'A total lack of elegance, refinement, and empathy. 'They should bring hotel management students to your restaurant to show them how not to treat your customers. Pathetic.' Another piled on: 'Disgusting cappuccino and they ask 10 cents to cut a croissant in half, never again, how squalid.' A third raged: '€0.10 what a disgrace… just to cut a croissant!!!' The backlash left café owner Massimiliano Viotto under siege, as his shop was bombarded with negative reviews. He said: 'We were flooded with one-star reviews from people who have never even visited our shop. Customer Charged Surprise $5 'Bitching Fee' at Pizzeria After Speaking Up 'Our Google rating dropped from 4.5 to 3.5, but we're confident it will recover with time and dedication.' Viotto denied the charge was a rip-off, even though it doesn't appear on the menu, claiming it covers the use of an extra plate and napkin and the 'skill' needed to cut a pastry. Bafflingly, a photo from the café shows a staff member simply snipping through a croissant with a pair of scissors while steadying it with a fork. He insisted: 'It's not a scam. It is a conscious choice that we defend with pride.' The row adds to Italy's growing reputation for bizarre summer surcharges. Last year, a woman in Arezzo revealed she was slapped with a £50 fee to cut her own birthday cake in a restaurant. And it's not the only baffling bill making headlines. A man has told how he was left scratching his head after a local restaurant added a mysterious 'S Charge' to his tab. The 2.75% extra fee — around 70 cents — appeared despite him paying in cash, meaning it couldn't be a card surcharge. Posting the receipt online, he wrote: 'After eating at a local restaurant I noticed a charge on the receipt I did not recognize and have never seen before. 'I emailed the contact listed on their website a week ago but never received a response. 'Can someone tell me what is the S Charge (2.75%)? Can't be a credit card up charge since I paid cash.' The post sparked heated debate, with most guessing it was some form of service charge.

Full list of stores closing in August 2025 from Superdrug to Poundland

British high streets are facing even more shop closures this year, with dozens of shops set to shut in August. Shoppers might enjoy the closing-down sales in the short term, but the move is likely to deal another blow to local communities. From tech giants to the everyday favourites that have defined the high street for decades, retailers are pulling down shutters left, right and centre. Up to 17,000 shops are expected to close this year alone, according to the Centre for Retail Research. Running a shop isn't what it once was, experts have told Metro, with sky-high energy bills and online shopping forcing retailers to make difficult choices. Here are the brands set to disappear from your high street this month. Apple will close its two-floor store in Bristol city centre in Cabot Circus after 15 years. A notice on the branch's store page says: 'Thank you, Bristol. Apple Bristol is closing on 9 August at 5pm.' GAME will close several branches over the next few months as part of a restructuring plan by its owners, Frasers Group. A GAME on Southend High Street will be shutting on an as-yet undisclosed date this month, while the branch in Festival Place in Basingstoke will close for good on August 10. The troubled arts and crafts chain was bought by investment firm Modella Capital last year, kicking off a wave of redundancies and closures. Hobbycrafts in Bromborough, Southport, and Stratford-upon-Avon will all close in 'early August', according to the company's website. No exact dates have been given.

'Thanks for all the love and support. You can still shop Monki online – explore more at a notice on the store reads. The health and beauty tailor is in retreat, shutting two more in Grantham, Lincolnshire, and Redruth, Cornwall, on August 9 and August 16, respectively. The Grantham branch has been part of the local community for four decades, with one disheartened local writing on Facebook: 'This town is dying.' The fashion brand is saying goodbye to its shop in Neath, Wales, on August 6. New Look has warned that nearly 100 of its 364 stores could be at risk, having already closed 11 sites this year, including in Birmingham. The discount retailer is trimming its high street presence, with two spots closing this month. The TOFS in Kirkham, Lancashire, will close sometime in August, the store said on its Facebook page. 'We would like to thank you all for your support over the years we've been part of the local community,' it added. The Caldicot branch in Wales will then follow. In 2024 alone, 12,804 chain stores closed their doors, amounting to 35 a day, data from PwC network shows. More Trending But around 132,945 local high street shops could disappear over the next 15 years, mainly clothing, furniture and electronic stores. While these closures are being seen visually, with boarded-up shops and vacant lots, why they are isn't always so obvious, Julie Fisher, UK CEO at Simply Business, a small business insurer, previously told Metro. On top of day-to-day running costs being higher, higher National Insurance contributions, increased rent and squeezed incomings are also factors. 'These are clear signs that our high streets, as we know them, are under threat, and will become unrecognisable without intervention,' Fisher added.
