Lockdown Delivery Review: DIY Pizza Kit from Dough-Re-Me

“…The packaged and insulated box contained everything we needed to create two margarita pizzas, including the dough, the tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan, flour, fresh basil, olive oil and even a bit of pepper to sprinkle on top at the end.

…these beauties really are very easy to make.

They’re also satisfying too, as you knead the dough and shape it onto your frying pan, and while the bottom cooks you add the ingredients. Once done, pop it under the grill and the dough will bubble up and crisp up and become the perfect base for some lovely, fresh toppings.

This is where the kit from Dough-Re-Me really shone, compared to others I’ve had – the dough. It was excellent… Both pizzas rose, bubbled and crisped up perfectly, even with my dodgy hands and poor motor skills.

I’ve always said that the dough is the most important part of any pizza and it seems like Dough-Re-Me think so too.

So in around 15 minutes we were sat in front of the telly scoffing our faces with some truly excellent pizzas. I’ve taken to dipping my crusts in Aioli – which I know isn’t too healthy but it’s much healthier than that garlic stuff that Dominos makes. And tastier.

Anyway, give Dough-Re-Me a shout if you’re looking for some top-notch, authentic Neapolitan pizzas at home – you can’t go wrong. Oh, and they’ll deliver ANYWHERE too.”

Is it possible to make restaurant-level pizza at home?

“When the box arrived I could see that this kit had been well-thought-through and the instructions didn’t look too complicated…

Once done you’ve got restaurant quality Neapolitan pizza. We added some extra toppings as we had some salami left over from a previous meal, but that’s the beauty of making your own pizzas.

The crusts that developed from the dough were some of the best I’ve had and I was a little put out that I didn’t have any aioli dip to go with them. You could certainly tell that you had prepared this from fresh ingredients – this was definitely not a frozen pizza.” – Georgina Hague, Manchester Confidential

“It’s safe to say that keeping staff morale high during a global pandemic has been a hard thing to do, especially when we’ve all been forced to work remotely for over a year! However, it’s also safe to say there’s little a good bit of pizza can’t cure, and when we came across Dough-Re-Me while planning our next virtual work social, we knew it had potential to really boost morale and help the team shake off the lockdown blues.

With just over 20 staff, we contacted Vicky and the Dough-Re-Me team to place a corporate order and are so happy we did! Vicky was great to deal with, really friendly and quick to answer any questions we had. With our team scattered across the country, we were a bit skeptical about how the delivery would pan out, but I’m pleased to say that the entire process was absolutely seamless. The kits arrived on time, were well packaged and insulated, and all of the ingredients were fresh. We used Zoom to host our virtual pizza night and everyone involved raved about the size of the kits and most importantly the quality of both the dough and the additional ingredients – even our resident vegans were impressed! Best of all, the kits contained absolutely everything you’d need to easily make fresh, delicious pizza at home which allowed us to focus on socialising and enjoying ourselves. 

Thank you to Vicky and the Dough-Re-Me team for helping us up our virtual social game and providing high quality food and service! Great idea!
