Aldi launches new "flavour-packed" pizza, fusing classic Italian cooking with Eastern flair
The new pizza will hit shelves across all 109 Aldi stores in Scotland from 3 July, priced at £3.79 for a limited time only
Aldi Scotland is turning up the heat this summer with the launch of a brand new Doner Kebab Pizza, following the sell-out success of its Chicken Tikka Pizza earlier this month.
Created by Edinburgh -based Cosmos Pizza, the latest addition brings together bold Eastern spices with a traditional Italian base to deliver what Aldi describes as a "flavour-packed meal that you just can't top."
The new pizza will hit shelves across all 109 Aldi stores in Scotland from 3 July, priced at £3.79 for a limited time only.
Aldi became the first supermarket to stock Cosmos' pizzas, and the Chicken Tikka flavour proved an instant hit with customers. The retailer is now encouraging shoppers to move fast if they want to get their hands on the new Doner Kebab version before it sells out too.
'This is history in the baking, as Aldi becomes the first Scottish supermarket to stock Cosmos' new Doner Kebab Pizza,' said Graham Nicolson, Group Buying Director at Aldi Scotland.
'The creativity and craftsmanship of Scotland's food producers never ceases to amaze us, and Cosmos is an excellent example of a locally grown supplier that knows how to cleverly experiment with flavour.
'At Aldi Scotland we're always happy to be the ones who test the market for inventive and quirky flavour creations, and we're confident this new creation will top the list of some of our most popular pizzas ever released.'
As the UK's cheapest supermarket for four years running, according to Which?, Aldi is already a firm favourite with bargain hunters.
Alongside its low-cost groceries, it also stocks a wide selection of household items, seasonal goods, and premium-quality Scottish produce from across the country.
In fact, Aldi is the only UK supermarket with a dedicated Scottish Buying Department.
It currently works with more than 90 local suppliers and stocks around 450 Scottish products, a commitment that earned it the 'Best for Scottish' award at the 2024 Scotland Food & Drink Excellence Awards, its third win in the category.
Recent NFU Shelfwatch surveys ranked Aldi as the top supermarket in Scotland for supporting local produce, and it remains the only retailer to stock 100 percent fresh Scottish pork on all shelves.

The retailer, which employs more than 3,600 people in Scotland, welcomed an extra two million customers through its doors in 2024.
Over the next two years, it plans to invest £40 million in new stores, with upcoming openings in Arbroath, Baillieston and Kirkintilloch.
With summer now in full swing, and Scottish BBQs and garden gatherings on the rise, Aldi's creative pizza range could be just the ticket for anyone craving something a little different and delicious.
