Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Saffron Pocket at none against PizzApp+'s shown. Saffron Pocket also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). PizzApp+'s advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
