SHOPPERS are in uproar over a bizarre Easter Egg Pizza spotted at a major supermarket – with some branding it “disgusting” and others saying it made them “feel sick”.
The £3.50 limited edition item features a chocolate spread base on pizza dough, topped with mini marshmallows and Creme-Egg style treats.

But the sugary Frankenstein’s monster of a pizza has not gone down well with Morrisons shoppers.
The post – shared on the Newfoodsuk Facebook page – racked up over 700 reactions and 600 comments, with many left fuming at the sweet treat.
One wrote: “It was the most disgusting thing ever. I suggest people just buy a cream egg.”
Another raged: “I feel sick just looking at it.”
A third added: “This looks absolutely awful compared to their previous years.”
And someone else said: “Can’t imagine how grim that will taste.”
The Sun has contacted Morrisons for more information.
It comes as supermarkets and food brands roll out their most weird and wacky Easter offerings yet.
Domino’s recently revealed perhaps the strangest of all – a Garlic & Herb Dip-inspired white chocolate egg.
The fast-food giant has infused white chocolate with garlic & herb flavours, and the egg even comes with a 25g pot of their famous sauce.
Izzy Gardener from Domino’s said: “Easter is the perfect time to treat yourself, and we wanted to bring a fun, flavour-packed twist to the traditional chocolate egg.”
“This Easter Egg is for the Garlic & Herb Dip fans who want to mix things up this year.”
Domino’s said it took inspiration from the world’s best chocolatiers to create the egg, even whipping up a glossy ad mimicking a high-end rival brand.
The chocolate is mixed with dried parsley herbs, poured into moulds, and wrapped in dip-themed packaging.
Fans can try their luck at snagging one by heading to dominoseasteregg.com between April 4 and April 14.

Meanwhile, The Sun’s Lynsey Hope tried a bunch of this year’s novelty Easter snacks – with mixed results.
First up was the Heck Hot Cross Bun Burger (£3.50), a pork patty seasoned with cinnamon, ginger and raisins.
“Surprisingly tasty,” said Lynsey. “An unusual meal, but I enjoyed it.”
Next was the Waitrose No 1 Chocolate Croissant Egg (£15), a blonde chocolate treat shaped like a croissant.
“Delicious without being overly sweet. Top marks for novelty,” she said.
She also sampled Tesco’s Cheesecake Carrots (£3.50), chocolate-orange flavoured cheesecake desserts.
While they looked great, Lynsey said they had a “strange, sickly taste”.
The Sainsbury’s Hot Cross Bun Custard Creams (65p) had a nice hint of cinnamon, but Lynsey found them too dry.
“Wouldn’t rush back,” she admitted.
The Waitrose Apple and Cinnamon Hot Cross Bunettone (£8), a mash-up between a panettone and a hot cross bun, was “messy but really enjoyable”.
Lynsey called it a “bargain at £8”.
Finally, she tried the M&S Dippy Egg Hot Cross Buns (£3.50), filled with white and yellow chocolate cream.
“Looked weird, but tasted moist and more-ish,” she said. “My kids LOVED them.”
