Oggi Foods is a French Canadian company that produces “gourmet and authentic gluten-free Italian pizza and pastas.” But they’ve stretched their pizza line to include even broader influences, and to accommodate even more dietary needs. Pizza Oggi Plant-Based Frozen Pizzas are made with a gluten-free cauliflower crust, and topped with dairy-free mozzarella and vegan Beyond Meat.

More Allergen Notes
According to the company, they produce their products in a dedicated gluten-free facility. However, they do make several other pizzas with dairy cheese. So we presume there is dairy present in the facility, and possibly used on the same equipment. As always, inquire if you are concerned about potential cross contamination.

Beyond Meat variety is the best
First I tried the Veggitaly and Margherita. The crust was too thick, dry and tasted like cardboard. If they lessened the amount of crust and added more topping these pizzas could be ok. Next I tried the Beyond Meat Beef pizza. I couldn’t believe how much better it was! It wasn’t dry, the crust didn’t over power, was in proportion to the toppings and tasted good. Overall the flavor was very good. Next I’m going to try the Beyond Meat saugsage. I give 5 stars for the Beyond Meat variety, and 1 start for the others.
Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had
shocked at some of the reviews here, i got the margherita pizza and the crust was so good i had to double check it was actually gluten free. Cant vouch for the vegan options as I haven’t tried yet but the gluten free options are the best I’ve tried, and I’ve tried many.
What were they thinking??
What were they thinking?? An epic fail on the Oggi Americana vegan, gluten free pizza.. A culinary fart 🤢 I’m still hungry this is Not edible
Cardboard tastes better!
This is the worst frozen pizza I have ever tried. Even the store brand $2.00
pizza tastes better!
No filling
They are expensive. Small and two of them had zero filling
Loved it.Gluten Free and Vegan...yes!
Had to look at the box to make sure it was gluten free and vegan it was so good!
buy the crusts, make your own
I’ve only tried the crusts not the ready to make pizzas others complain about. The crust is fantastic, the texture is nothing like other GF crusts and reminds me of the chewier thicker crusts I enjoyed in my gluten eating days.
Just. Gross. Just... NO
Wish I could give 0 stars. One bite and I threw the entire thing in the garbage. ‘meat’ pieces were hard and awful tasting. I followed the cooking instructions and the crust was way over done while the rest of the pizza was barely cooked. I have no idea how this received one positive review, let alone multiple
Wow! I was impressed
I had low expectations having had other gluten free vegan pizzas and this way exceeded my expectations. The crust was similar to that of a gluten crust. Chewy yet crisp. The beyond crumbles are well spiced. Would absolutely buy it again
Hard Fake Meat
The meat was so hard and the cheese would not even melt in the oven. The overall taste is very bland and just not good at all.
