Batavia, Illinois-based Aldi have released the results of its annual Aldi Fan Favorites survey. The survey was given to more than 100,000 consumers.
A three-time former winner was voted into the new Fan Favorites “Hall of Fame,” while another product won the top spot in two different categories for the first time. Several items were neck and neck until seconds before voting closed, keeping people on the edge of their seats.
“With 100 Aldi-exclusive products to choose from across this year’s Fan Favorites survey, we have first-time winners in 11 of the 13 categories,” said Scott Patton, VP of national buying. “Aldi shoppers really appreciate our selection and know that we’ve put in time and effort to offer them a wide variety of products to love. The fact that they also took the time to fill out our survey just shows that #AldiLove runs deep.”
This year’s fan favorites winners by category are:
- Hall of Fame – Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Take and Bake Deli Pizza
- Get Up & Go – Specially Selected Indulgent Greek Yogurt
- What’s for Dinner? – Specially Selected Ravioli

In the “What’s for Dinner?” category, Specially Selected Ravioli, in Classic Cheese and Spinach & Mozzarella varieties, took home the top spot when put up against seven of its dinner table competitors. The “Catch of the Day” category also saw a runaway rookie winner with the Fresh Atlantic Salmon taking first place.
Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Take and Bake Deli Pizza has been an annual favorite since the survey launched in 2019, claiming the title of “Overall Fan Favorite” in 2020. This year, it continues its reign as the first Aldi Fan Favorite to be inducted into the Fan Favorites “Hall of Fame.”
Following wins in 2019 and 2021, the simple strawberry took the prize for a third time in the “Produce Pick” category. The “Clink & Drink” category saw a close vote, with Giambellino Peach Bellini edging out Zarita Strawberry Margarita and Belletti Prosecco.
The “Dynamic Duo” category, which highlights the product pairs shoppers buy together, also yielded a close race. Specially Selected Indulgent Greek Yogurt and fresh blueberries took home the first-place win over the widely beloved pairing of Kirkwood Breaded Chicken Filets with Specially Selected Brioche Buns.
The Specially Selected Indulgent Greek Yogurt won twice this year, a survey first, with top spots in both the “Dynamic Duo” and “Get Up & Go” categories.
