Over the past year, One Planet Pizza has made impressive strides in both retail and international markets. The brand’s Spicy Peppernoni pizza earned a permanent spot in 400 Asda stores across the UK after a successful trial, while its Tex Mex pizza launched in 315 Morrisons stores nationwide. Additionally, the company introduced two flavours in every Booths store, further solidifying its presence in the UK. Internationally, One Planet Pizza took its first big step abroad by securing a listing with a leading supermarket in the Middle East, marking the beginning of its global expansion.
On the production and recognition front, the company celebrated the sale of its one-millionth pizza, a landmark achievement highlighting its growing popularity. Strengthening its operations, One Planet Pizza has partnered with a manufacturing specialist prepared to support its scaling ambitions.
Recognition for its innovation and quality came in the form of PETA’s prestigious Best Vegan Pizza award, while co-founder Joe Hill’s guest appearance on BBC’s The Apprentice helped spotlight the brand on a national stage. These achievements reflect a year of significant progress for the vegan pizza pioneer.

Looking ahead, One Planet Pizza is actively seeking strategic investors and partners to enlarge its market coverage in 2025. The company envisions further product innovation, broader market reach, and enhanced profitability, all while steadfastly adhering to its mission of promoting plant-based eating for the betterment of the planet.
Co-founder Mike Hill reflects on the journey: "It's been one heck of a busy year over here so far! We've moved production, launched our new and improved range of frozen pizzas, and introduced a brand spanking new flavour – the Spicy Tex Mex."
