What we found about Dr. Oetker and halal
Dr. Oetker's UK FAQ answers the halal question by sending customers to its product search, and does not state that its range is halal. It does say that the Ristorante Mozzarella pizza is suitable for vegetarians, along with Ristorante Funghi and Quattro Formaggi.
Pizzas with meat toppings, such as pepperoni or ham, are a separate matter: the meat needs to be halal, and nothing on the FAQ page says it is. Check the topping on the pack, and ask the company about the cheese enzymes if that is a concern for you.
