Aldi is launching a FREE takeaway pizza delivery service in Manchester

And it's over 80% cheaper than Domino's too.

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant - 18th September 2023

Aldi is launching a pizza delivery service in a handful of major UK cities next month, and it’s set to give Domino’s a run for its money.

We’re talking a whopping 83% cheaper than the rival takeaway here.

Fresh off-the-back of being named as the UK’s ‘Pizza Retailer of the Year’, and conveniently-coinciding with the start of fresher’s week for millions of students nationwide, Aldi has now revealed its plans to launch a brand-new pizza delivery service for the first time ever in three UK cities – and Manchester is one of the lucky chosen ones.

It’ll officially be launching on Tuesday 3 October in our city, as well as in two other key student hubs, Edinburgh and Cardiff.

The new delivery service means fast food lovers within selected postcode areas in our region can pre-order and tuck into the pizzas from budget supermarket retailer’s latest ‘Ultimate Takeaway’ range for just £3.99 each.

In classic cheeky Aldi style, the new ‘Ultimate Takeaway’ range is described as being the supermarket’s “most Domino’s-like pizza offering yet” and is launching in stores nationwide from 9 October.

Three “Domino’s inspired flavours” are included in the new range, The Meaty One, The Banger, and The Texas Style BBQ Chicken & Bacon – which are each inspired by the Domino’s best-loved classics Meateor, Absolute Banger, and Texas BBQ.

Customers can select up to two of these delicious new flavours to be delivered hot to their door with the new delivery service.

With a medium Meateor pizza from Domino’s currently setting shoppers back a hefty £20.99, plus a £2.50 delivery fee, on average, Aldi’s new service could end up saving you more than £19 per pizza when delivered.

Oh, and did we forget to mention delivery costs are free too? The bargains just keep coming.

Cinemas across the UK will be screening loads of classic festive films in the run-up to Christmas, and you can already book tickets.

With the nights drawing in, the temperatures dropping by the day, and the most wonderful time of the year now firmly in our sights, film fans looking for some wholesome festive fun in the run-up to the big day itself will soon be able to head on down to their nearest Greater Manchester cinema to catch a classic on the big screen.

Vue, Odeon, and The Light are among the cinema chains set to screen a handful of beloved Christmas films throughout December.

Although there may already be a TV channel showing Christmas films 24/7 now on air in the UK, if you fancy seeing the festivities in full screen instead, then you can watch showings of fan-favourites like Elf, Home Alone, Love Actually, and more over the next few weeks.

You can also see seasonal screenings of live ballet, theatre, and concert performances too.

Undoubtably one of the highlights on the lineup this year, however, has to be The Polar Express, with several cinema chains scheduled to screen the 2004 animated Christmas gem to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its release.

Starring Tom Hanks alongside a talented supporting cast of voice actors, The Polar Express is based on the beloved children’s book by Chris Van Allsburg and tells the story of a young boy who boards a powerful magical train to visit Santa Claus’ home on Christmas Eve, learning about friendship, bravery, and the spirit of Christmas along the way.

Here you can also complete your seasonal experience with festive-themed cocktails, popcorn, pick n mix, and a whole host of other treats too.

Tommy Fury announces return to boxing after dropping out of I’m a Celeb 2024 last-minute

Danny Jones Danny Jones Tommy Fury boxing in Manchester Co-op Live vs Darren Till

Manc fighter Tommy Fury has announced his sudden return to boxing after dropping out of this year’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

The Wythenshawe-born boxer hasn’t been in the ring since his victory over YouTube star turned fighter, musician and jack of all trades, KSI, back in December 2023, but he has now booked his next bout.

Preparing to take on former UFC middleweight Darren Till in the New Year, he’s set a blockbuster date for the hometown fight as Fury vs Till will be held at none other than Manchester’s state-of-the-art entertainment venue, Co-op Live.

Not even Tyson has had a Co-op fight yet – at least not the arena one, anyway.

Sharing the official DAZN fight poster this past weekend, the 25-year-old will take on Till as part of the next Misfits event, an ever-growing boxing promotion co-founded by his former opponent KSI.

This has all transpired very quickly as the 25-year-old looked set to feature on the 2024 I’m a Celeb lineup but ultimately pulled out in the 11th hour.

National treasures and long-serving hosts hosts, Ant and Dec, even made a dig about it on the first episode of this season which aired on Sunday night, expressing their disbelief at replacement Barry McGuigan doing the show before adding, “Well it was either do this or fight the YouTuber on Netflix.”

Besides the fight against KSI (real name Olajide ‘JJ’ Olatunji), his Fury‘s most notable fight famously came against fellow influencer and celebrity boxer Jake Paul, in which he was declared the victor following a split decision.

Meanwhile, Paul has continued to dive deeper into his now-pro boxing career, which officially began in 2020, and just recently a shock win over 58-year-old sporting legend Mike Tyson on points – though the exclusive Netflix-produced fight has been accused of being ‘rigged’.

31-year-old Till, on the other hand, has long maintained his opinion of the younger Fury brother’s boxing ability and seems pretty confident he knows what the outcome will be.

Hailing from Walton, in Liverpool, not only will it be a homecoming night for ‘TNT’ but it will also be an all-North West affair with plenty of local rivalry fuelling both boxers and the crowd.

Fury has been taking time out of the spotlight following his well-publicised spilt from Molly Mae-Hague earlier this year but is now set for his biggest stage yet.

Tommy Fury vs Darren Till comes to Co-op Live in Manchester on 18 January and it will be just the second combat sports event ever held at the venue after UFC 304 earlier this year, where fellow Manc Tom Aspinall retained his interim heavyweight title.

Co-op Members can access pre-sale from 10am on Tuesday, 19 November, with general admission tickets going live at 6pm later that same day. You can get ready to grab yours HERE.
