Quick Yuckblog: Sainsbury’s Cheese Feast Stuffed Crust Pizza
No matter how hungry you are. Even if you’ve wasted an entire Friday evening sitting in the Regent Street Apple Store waiting for a ‘Genius’ to fit a new battery to your 9 month old MacBook Pro, never buy a Sainsbury’s Cheese Feast Stuffed Crust Pizza.
