Sometimes even take-out just takes too long by the time you have waited for it, so what do you do when you want the family to have something more substantial than a sandwich? For us the answer is simple: Pizza! It is quick and easy to cook straight from the freezer, and can even be eaten later cold! We love Chicago Town Pizza and were excited to try the new The Pizza Kitchen range.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24296\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/pizza-kitchen-baubles.jpg?resize=900%2C940\" alt=\"Chicago Town The Pizza Kitchen\" width=\"900\" height=\"940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/pizza-kitchen-baubles.jpg?w=900 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/pizza-kitchen-baubles.jpg?resize=287%2C300 287w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/pizza-kitchen-baubles.jpg?resize=768%2C802 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Family life is hectic at the best of times, never mind Christmas: Sometimes we even have another meal planned but something will happen to change things (like when the clutch went in my husband\u2019s car this week and he had to wait for the breakdown people to tow him home). This meant that there just wasn\u2019t the time to cook what we had planned &#8211; but we had the Chicago Town The Pizza Kitchen Range just ready in the freezer! They were ready in just 12 minutes in our fan oven, and I had time to check their school bags and do the washing up in that time. They only had 5 minutes to wolf them down before needing to go out to their Christmas party at Youth Club &#8211; but honestly this wasn\u2019t a problem! The main problem when I don\u2019t have time is I just serve each pizza on its own in the middle of the table for everyone to help themselves, and if you are not quick it is gone!<\/p>\n<h2><u>Chicago Town The Pizza Kitchen<\/u><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24298\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24298\" style=\"width: 890px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24298 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/The-Pizza-Kitchen-cheese-medley-uncooked.jpg?resize=900%2C675\" alt=\"The Pizza Kitchen cheese medley uncooked\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/The-Pizza-Kitchen-cheese-medley-uncooked.jpg?w=900 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/The-Pizza-Kitchen-cheese-medley-uncooked.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/The-Pizza-Kitchen-cheese-medley-uncooked.jpg?resize=768%2C576 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24298\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Easy to cook from frozen &#8211; and look at all that yummy cheese<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Pizza Kitchen from Chicago Town is a new range which has been available nationwide since September.
