Asda customers say its "random" new pizza topping is a step "too far"

Asda has a new pizza topping and while some are keen to try it, others have described it as "random" and say it's gone "too far".

The Asda Stonebaked Thin and Crispy Medium Pizza now comes in Steak and Ale Pie flavour, priced at £3.50.

The pizza was launched by Asda on February 22 in time for National Pie Week, which began on Monday (March 1). The pizza has a thin and crispy base, topped with an ale and mushroom sauce, and loaded with steak, red onion, tangy cheese. It's then finished with crispy mini puff pastry pie lids.

Deborah Haigh, category planner for ready meals at Asda, said: "Following the success of our Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza last year, we wanted to delight our customers with another classic hybrid to celebrate National Pie Week. We know our customers are potty for a good pie, so we wanted to give them something really special to celebrate with."

Tagging a friend James added: "You like a pie, this may be up your alley, but it sounds rank to me!"

Tom described it as "minging''.
