Our Story

It's a family affair

It all started with one simple question; why cant I get hold of a great tasting vegan frozen pizza?

Back in 2016, this question soon became an idea that Mike, Joe and Tanya were not going to ignore. Just three months later One Planet Pizza was born and together they started the UK’s first ever crowdfunding campaign for a 100% vegan company. Three months after that, the very first One Planet Pizzas were sold to several local shops in their hometown, Norwich. 

This ethical start-up soon outgrew itself and so in 2018 we raised more capital through a second round of crowdfunding. This allowed us to build our very own plant-based kitchen to keep up with growing demand.

Two years later and we’re now producing over 400 pizzas daily. We’ve scooped up multiple awards for our pizzas and continue to improve our recipes whilst developing new ones along the way. We’re still a family-run business and so we still do everything we love, passion and lots of flavour.

Our Philosophy

At one planet pizza we’re on a mission to make this world a better place, one slice at a time. We believe that food should be delicious, healthy and sustainable, without compromise. That’s why our pizzas will always be plant-based and purpose driven.

Because we care about this planet, our packaging and ingredients are sourced locally where possible. The cardboard we use for our pizza boxes is made from 45% recycled material and is 100% compostable. Both our boxes and their sleeves are carbon neutral. Even the pizzas themselves have a carbon footprint of around 45% compared to the average non-vegan pizza. What more can you possibly expect from a pizza?

Crowdfunding

We raised our dough within the Vegan, Veggie & Veggie Curious Community.

One Planet Pizza is funded by a combination of personal investment from the vegan management team and crowdfunding by the vegan, veggie and veggie curious community. 20% of the company’s equity was crowdfunded in October 2016, with over 140 individuals investing between £16 and £3,000. We have investors from around Europe and even as far as Australia! As far as we know, we are the first vegan company to have crowdfunded in Europe, and possibly the world! We achieved our crowdfunding target within only 24 hours of publicly releasing the shares and have quickly moved on to winning awards and stocking shops around the country!

Our Partners & Ambassadors

One Planet Pizza’s roots run deep within the vegan community. We’re very fortunate to have an awesome team of passionate supporters and promoters who tirelessly spread the vegan pizza love far and wide. These guys and gals are leading figures in their own areas of interest, from animal rights activists and public speakers to fitness vloggers and bodybuilders. You could call them the vegan Avengers.
