"Pizza Hut vs Domino's" is one of the oldest takeaway debates going. Both run aggressive deals and both claim to be the better value — but list prices tell a different story than the headline offers. We compared real UK menu prices for both chains, pizza by pizza, so you can see who is actually cheaper before the discount codes go in. All prices are in GBP (£).
How we compared the two pizza chains
The trap with any Domino's vs Pizza Hut comparison is that the two chains structure their menus differently — one lists each pizza from a low base price and steers you to multi-buy deals, the other prices its medium and large pizzas higher up front. To cut through that, we lined up the same pizzas (a cheese/margherita, a pepperoni, a meat) at the same size using current UK list prices in our database, then looked separately at the standing deals, because that is where most people actually buy. Calorie notes use whole-pizza figures from our data.
Classic pizzas: like-for-like price
The fairest comparison is a standard cheese/margherita and a pepperoni, at the same size. Here is how the two chains line up on menu list price:
| Pizza | Pizza Hut (UK) | Domino's (UK) |
|---|---|---|
| Margherita / Cheese (medium) | Medium Margherita £19.99 | Original Cheese & Tomato £9.66* |
| Pepperoni (medium) | Medium Pepperoni Feast £23.49 | Pepperoni Passion £10.66* |
| Meat (medium) | Medium Meat Feast £25.99 | Mighty Meaty £10.66* |
\Domino's individual pizza prices reflect its base list price; Pizza Hut prices are the medium menu price.*
On raw menu price, Domino's list prices look dramatically lower — but this is partly a sizing and structure difference: Domino's lists each pizza from a base price and pushes customers toward multi-buy deals, while Pizza Hut prices its medium and large pizzas higher up front. The real story is in the deals.
The deals decide it
Neither chain expects you to pay full list price, and both lean heavily on bundle offers. Here are the standing UK deals in our data:
| Deal | Pizza Hut (UK) | Domino's (UK) |
|---|---|---|
| Single pizza deal | Saver Lunch Deal from £6.99 | All Medium Pizza £12 (with code) |
| Two pizzas | Meal for Two £26.99 | 2 Medium Pizzas £22 |
| Large multi-buy | Big Bundle Meal Deal £35.99 | 2 Large Pizzas £26 |
| Group / party | Party Meal Deal £49.99 | Medium Party Deal £45.99 |
Once deals are applied, the gap narrows but Domino's still tends to win on multi-buy: two medium pizzas at £22 (Domino's) versus £26.99 (Pizza Hut Meal for Two), and two large at £26 versus the £35.99 bundle. Pizza Hut fights back hard at the cheap end with its Saver Lunch Deal from £6.99, which is the lowest single-person entry price between the two.
Sides: where Pizza Hut competes
| Side | Pizza Hut (UK) | Domino's (UK) |
|---|---|---|
| Garlic bread | Garlic Bread (4 pieces) £5.99 | Twisted Dough Balls (Cheese) £6.32 |
| Loaded fries | Bacon Loaded Cheesy Fries £6.99 | Loaded Fries (Cheese) £6.49 |
| Wings (7) | 7 x BBQ Chicken Wings £6.99 | — |
| Cookie dough dessert | Warm & Gooey Cookie Dough £6.49 | Strawberry Cheesecake £6.99 |
Sides are genuinely close. Pizza Hut's garlic bread is cheaper than Domino's dough balls, and its wing range is broader. Domino's loaded fries edge Pizza Hut's by 50p.
Calories: a quick note
If you are watching intake, the two chains are broadly comparable on a per-slice basis. For reference, a Pizza Hut Medium Pepperoni Feast lists around 786 calories (whole pizza, per our data), and a Domino's Pepperoni Passion lists around 431 calories at its base size — but Domino's larger sizes climb steeply (a full Mighty Meaty runs to 1,860). Always check the size, because pizza calories scale fast.
