Behind the Scenes: Crafting the Perfect Plant-Based Pizza & Pie


Country Roast Pie

In the heart of our kitchen, where creativity meets sustainability, lies the birthplace of our signature thick base pizzas and gourmet pies. These aren't just meals; they're a testament to our commitment to delivering exceptional plant-based culinary experiences. Today, we're inviting you on an exclusive behind-the-scenes journey from concept to kitchen to customer, revealing how we craft the perfect plant-based pizza and pie.


From Concept to Creation


The story of our pizzas and pies begins with a simple yet powerful idea: to create plant-based versions of these classic comfort foods without compromising on flavour, texture, or environmental values. This vision sets the stage for our culinary adventure, guiding our every choice, from ingredient selection to recipe development.


Sourcing Fresh, Local Ingredients


Central to our mission is a commitment to using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. We believe that the best flavours come from the best produce, and by sourcing locally, we not only ensure peak freshness but also support our community and reduce our carbon footprint. Our partnerships with local farmers and producers provide us with seasonal vegetables, herbs, and other plant-based ingredients that form the foundation of our pizzas and pies.


For our thick base pizzas, the journey begins with the dough, crafted from locally milled flours and kneaded to perfection. Each base is proofed to achieve that signature thick, airy crust that's both crispy and chewy in all the right places. Toppings are chosen based on seasonal availability and flavour harmony, ensuring that each pizza is a reflection of the season's bounty.


Our gourmet pies are a labour of love, encased in a flaky, buttery crust that's 100% vegan. The fillings range from savoury mixtures of mushrooms and lentils to spicy potatoes, all enveloped in pastry that's rolled and crimped by hand. This artisanal touch is what sets our pies apart, making each one uniquely delicious.


Constant Recipe Development


Behind every great dish is an ongoing process of experimentation and refinement. Our team of chefs and culinary experts are constantly in the kitchen, testing and tweaking recipes to achieve the perfect balance of flavours and textures. This dedication to culinary excellence means revisiting our classics, exploring new ingredients, and incorporating customer feedback into our development process.


The Artisanal Touch

What truly sets our pizzas and pies apart is the artisanal touch that goes into each and every one. From hand-stretching dough to meticulously layering toppings and fillings, our chefs pour their passion and expertise into creating meals that delight and satisfy. It's not just about following a recipe; it's about bringing a vision to life, where each ingredient is treated with respect and care.


From Kitchen to Customer

The final step in our journey is perhaps the most rewarding: delivering our plant-based pizzas and pies to you, our customers. Each meal is carefully packaged and delivered with instructions for reheating, ensuring that the experience of enjoying our food at home is as close as possible to the experience of eating it fresh from our kitchen.


Crafting the perfect plant-based pizza and pie is a journey that begins with a commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation. It's a process that involves the hands and hearts of many, from the farmers who grow our ingredients to the chefs who bring each dish to life. We're proud to share this journey with you and to offer meals that not only taste good but do good.
Thank you for joining us behind the scenes. We hope that each bite of our pizzas and pies brings you joy and inspiration, reminding you of the beauty and deliciousness of plant-based eating.
