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.

Tasty for a home baked pizza
Friends didn’t realize that the pizza had a cauliflower based crust. Loved that it didn’t have a ton of cheeze on it. The Beyond Meat was salty, but tasty. Hoping we can continue to get these pizzas here in the States.
