A Christchurch man has questioned a claim by manufacturer McCain that each box in its Lil' Pizza range contains four pizzas.

Jordan Neall says the claim is "false advertising" and came to Fair Go to get to the bottom of the issue.

Neall was disappointed when he opened a box of frozen Vegemite pizzas to find just two packages inside.

The box clearly states that it contains "4 cheesy Vegemite mini pizzas".

"I'm no mathematician" he said, but "it’s not four individually wrapped pizzas, it's two conjoined pizzas."

Fair Go approached McCain as part of its Mailbag series.
