Every Greggs Pastry RANKED Worst To Best

Where will the humble sausage roll rank?

By Matteo Everett /

When people think of British culture, they tend to think of the Queen, Harry Potter, and Greggs' pastries. In that order.

The UK's best bakery chain has managed to transcend from being a humble regional franchise (North West Londoners, think Wenzels) to a national phenomenon, becoming a staple of British on-the-go dining in a few short decades.

First founded a whopping eighty-one years ago in 1939 (a year before the first McDonalds opened in California), the chain started to show some serious signs of growth when its CEO Ian Gregg began acquiring other franchises in the 70s. And thank God for that. If it wasn't for Ian Gregg's sharp eye for business, Southerners would never have had a chance to sample Newcastle's best bakes.

Racking up a phenomenal £87 MILLION in income every year, it's obvious that Brits - and the odd tourist, brave enough to sample the UK's infamous cuisine -love themselves a cheeky sausage roll from time to time.

And while (almost) every pastry is worth every penny, which is the best of the bunch?

12. Three Cheese Pizza

In Italy, you can get an entire pizza for the same price as this tiny monstrosity.

For a bakery which managed to perfect and revolutionise traditional British recipes, it was only a matter of time before Greggs started casting their eyes overseas. But this 'pizza' (not that there's anything here that makes this snack worthy of that name) proves that some of the chain's ideas really should have stayed on the drawing board.

Simply bread topped with questionable tomato sauce and cheap cheese, this is somehow worse than pizza served in school cafeterias.
