Many pizzerias offer single slices for a quick bite, yet it's surprising how few cater to plant-based diets with vegan options, and Blackbirdie Pizza Minis satisfy the demand for easy-to-make, comforting, snackable pizza products.
Rather than having to warm up an entire plant-based pizza from frozen, Blackbirdie Pizza Minis help consumers enjoy a snack-sized portion. These five-inch personal pies scale down the brand's signature cheese and Beyond Meat pepperoni pizzas, made with Blackbird mozzarella on whole-grain crusts. These sources of protein and fiber are individually wrapped and ready to pop in the toaster oven for a satisfying, portion-controlled snack that curbs cravings for gooey, savory pizza with a plant-powered twist.
At Expo West 2025, Blackbirdie Pizza Minis won VegNews' Best New Vegan Product.
