An independent UK project tests pizza-making products by retail price, ingredients, preparation effort, and comparable results.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-07 issue.

Field notes

Crust Bench builds comparisons from seller product pages, recording pack size, ball count, delivery information, ingredient declarations, and published claims before calculating its own cost per pizza. Its first dataset covers 18 British dough brands and places delivered dough alongside simpler routes such as flour, water, salt, and yeast. One comparison records two gluten-free declarations that match apart from wording in two ingredients, while the listed prices differ by 27%.
