Pizza Nova and Greenleaf Foods, SPC, owner of Field Roast Grain Meat Co\u2122<\/a> (\u201cField Roast\u201d), announced on January 11 the addition of Field Roast Plant-Based Pepperoni to all Pizza Nova<\/em> locations. Delivering a similar flavour and texture as traditional pork pepperoni, this is the first time Field Roast Plant-Based Pepperoni will be available to consumers anywhere.<\/p>

\u201cWe are proud to offer a plant-based pepperoni that delivers on our Puro Promise of sourcing high-quality products that do not compromise on taste. The addition of Field Roast Plant-Based Pepperoni to our menu will allow us to expand our offerings and better serve flexitarians, vegetarians and vegans alike\u2014always in the same careful and loving manner,\u201d says Domenic Primucci, president of Pizza Nova<\/em>.  <\/p><\/blockquote>

Field Roast Plant-Based Pepperoni is the first pepperoni alternative to be made with pea protein, not soy, and offer the same protein per serving (6g) as traditional pork pepperoni. Unlike competitive products, the Plant-Based Pepperoni has fat marbling and delivers an authentic, bold pepperoni taste, crafted with fresh spices, including whole pieces of fennel, cracked black pepper, garlic and paprika.  For consumers looking for more flexibility without sacrificing taste, Pizza Nova<\/em> will offer the Plant-Based Pepperoni as a permanent menu item. It is available as a topping for pizzas and panzerottis, and as part of six new plant-based creations, including the \u2018Planteroni\u2019. <\/p>

\u201cPizza Nova<\/em> is the first major Canadian pizza operator to offer the groundbreaking Field Roast Plant-Based Pepperoni,\u201d said Adam Grogan, COO of Greenleaf Foods. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to partner with them because of their commitment to crafting flavourful, quality foods, just like Field Roast.\u201d  <\/p><\/blockquote>

Voted the \u2018Best Pizza of 2020\u2019<\/strong> by the Toronto Star, Pizza Nova<\/em> uses only the finest ingredients, sourced from farmers and producers who share its commitment to quality. It offers a number of freshly-baked pizzas, including classic, white and pesto, and topped with ingredients like saut\u00e9ed spinach, grilled zucchini, sundried black olives, and Italian-style hot peppers.<\/p>

In addition to Plant-Based Pepperoni, which is expected to roll onto retail shelves in Canada and the United States later this year, Field Roast\u2019s portfolio includes more than 25 plant-based meats and cheeses, all boldly flavoured and made from vegetables, grains, legumes and fresh herbs and spices.<\/p>
