Mike and Joe started making their own plant-based pizzas at home, experimenting with ingredients and plant-based cheezes.
THE STORY
The Founders
We’re co-founders Mike and Joe Hill, the plant-powered father and son team behind One Planet Pizza. We created One Planet Pizza out of a passion to make mouth-watering pizzas that are great for you and the planet. We call it pizza with purpose.
The purpose
If there’s one thing you need to check out (other than the checkout) it’s this video. This sums up where we’ve come from and where we’re going. It’s been one hell of a ride and we’re not stopping!

From the Garage
Mike & Joe noticed that plant-based frozen pizzas just weren’t up to scratch. Wanting to create a go-to plant-based alternative to their much-loved freezer staple, they started One Planet Pizza from Mike’s garage using their family recipe.
