Just come across this. The highest price starts from £26 quid for 14 Pizza base's but also can be used for make toasties, wraps etc. It is called Lo-Do..It is already cooked. You can buy 2 for £5.00..If they are large enough perhaps can cut them in half. It has all the information on ingredients, and carb levels etc on the website. Free delivery to the UK..I am going to order the 5 quid ones just to see what they are like. Here is the link....https://lodough.co/collections/shop
 
Been discussed a few times.

Mainly with "How ***************** much????????"

Still going for the Lidl rolls at about 28p each, myself.

I've never really seen the point of pizza except as a cheap filler - when it isn't even cheap - why go there?

My question is, after having read the ingredients, bran is cheap, eggs are cheap, so is yeast and salt, why you can't make the dough yourself?
Pizza, made with good ingredients isn't normally so cheap, if you are searching the lowest bidder of course you'll find awful toppings, but if you find the right combination of good quality ingredients, a capable cook and a good oven, and you'll eat the pizza when just cooked, it's another experience.
 
The price puts me off more than anything. I'm also a recent convert to Fathead Pizza, which is delicious and costs a fraction of the price

You do not have to have it as a Pizza, they are quite versatile with a bit of imagination. You can even make a pie with them

You do have to count calories also. The calories for the lo-do is so much lower

I know that if they're selling at a way higher price than the raw food it's also for the convenience.
It's like a precut salad that costs 10x regular one, but one has the big advantage that one doesn't have to wash, cut an do on - normally I buy it for the lunch a the office. But for the dinner I buy the normal one.ù
 
@derry60 I've tried them, and whilst expensive they make a decent, nice and thin pizza base. I used it for home made pizza for my son and me (he's not diabetic ) as something we can share. As you say sometimes you just want the same as rest of family. I've got a few in cupboard on standby.
They are too expensive, and not keen on them raw though, so will be for the occasional pizza for me. Tasty LCHF meal - especially the amount of meat toppings I use (with peppers, onions and shrooms of course )!!

Yes I could not afford to buy them on a regular basis, but nice for me as a treat when other members of the family have a small pizza. Are they large? Wondered if half of one would make a nice decent size base for toppings as a pizza? That way would last longer with a big side salad
