I've found the 'best pizza ever' and it's £5 from the supermarket

After years and years of eating pizza from a variety of food vendors, I may just have found the best one around - and it's only £4.75.

Pizza is, in my opinion, one of the greatest things in the world. I could write a sonnet about my love for pizza but I'll save you the second-hand embarrassment.

Whether you're a die hard Papa John's fan, a loyal Domino's lover, or you prefer a local independent venue, there's no shortage of pizza places to choose from.

In Liverpool, we're spoilt for choice on amazing restaurants, with a varied and eclectic food scene packed with independents and big chains alike.

If you're on a budget or fancy a delicious, mouth-watering pizza for a fraction of the price of a restaurant or takeaway, then pop to Marks and Spencer.

That's right, the high street giant, not known for its budget-friendly offerings, has created a pizza so divine, I've chosen it over my favourite takeaway pizza for the last few weekends in a row.

Though £4.75 is more costly than the average supermarket pizza, this is definitely worth it - plus, it's significantly cheaper than Papa John's and Domino's and, in my opinion, just as good.

Marks and Spencer's Hand Stretched Stone-baked Meltingly Good pizza with cheese and tomato is topped with a decadent tomato sauce that's perfectly rich and tangy. It's made with extra virgin olive oil, strong cheddar cheese and a generous smattering of grated mozzarella. Heavenly.

I'm obsessed with Marks and Spencer's hand-stretched pizza (Jess Flaherty/Liverpool ECHO)

The first time I bought it, I couldn't believe how delicious it was - it's restaurant quality.

If cheese and tomato isn't your favourite, then it's also available in other variations for the same price. The stone-baked range includes pepperoni, ham and pineapple, smoky BBQ chicken, ham and cheese, magnificently meaty and very veggie.

I would like to see some more vegetarian options in the future, as there's currently only two choices but they're both exceptionally tasty.

I'm not turning my back on takeaways and restaurants for good, but when craving a takeaway-style pizza feast for a fraction of the cost, this one absolutely hits the spot.

Unsurprisingly, I will definitely be buying it again.
