Spinato's Fine Foods, a U.S. based company, launched broccoli crust pizzas in October 2018. The product met with success and the company recently announced the expanded sales distribution of its broccoli crust pizza. The product is now available for purchase in grocery chains across the United States, including Albertsons, Safeway, Sprouts and more.
"Grocery stores are seeing a great demand for plant-based pizza alternatives, and not just with cauliflower," says Anthony Spinato, co-founder and president of Spinato's. The product has won a sofi™ New Product Award and Delicious Living's Taste Test Award and the momentum only continues to grow, reflecting the increasing popularity of plant-based pizzas.
Spinato's pizza features specific ingredients to expand upon the "better-for-you pizza" concept, such as nutrient-rich broccoli to create its crust and is made with rBST-free cheese, hormone-free chicken sausage, nitrite-free and nitrate-free pepperoni and Spinato's sauce with herbs and vine-ripened tomatoes from local farms. Spinato's Broccoli Crust Pizza is also certified gluten-free, MSG-free and trans-fat-free.
