PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Abby Thaine for Blackbird Foods

NEW YORK, NY (APRIL 2026) – Blackbird Foods, the chef-crafted plant-based comfort foods brand, is excited to announce that its Blackbirdie Pizza Minis are now available nationwide at Sprouts Farmers Market. The new item joins Blackbird’s full-sized Supreme Pizza and Pepperoni Pizza currently available in the retailer’s freezer aisle.

Pizza Minis are 5-inch personal pizzas made with a hearty whole grain crust and plant-based ingredients. Each box includes four mini pizzas, perfectly portioned for busy school nights, quick workplace lunches, or anytime snacking.

Pizza Minis are ready in just 90 seconds in the microwave, 6 minutes in an air fryer, or 8 minutes in the oven, making them a quick and convenient option for families and students alike. Available in two kid-friendly varieties, Cheese and Pepperoni, each Pizza Mini is dairy-free, non-GMO, cholesterol-free, and vegan.

The Cheese Pizza Minis are topped with melty dairy-free cheese, while the Pepperoni Pizza Minis feature crispy, flavorful plant-based pepperoni slices. Crafted to satisfy classic pizza cravings with a better-for-you twist, Pizza Minis deliver convenience without compromise.

Pizza Minis first launched nationwide at Whole Foods Market in September 2025. They were also named one of the top ten hottest vegan products of 2025 by VegNews and are nominated in this year’s Veggie Awards.

Founded in 2020, Blackbird Foods has quickly gained a following for its bold, chef-crafted plant-based foods. In addition to frozen pizzas, the company offers plant-based WINGS and high-protein seitan, all designed with uncompromising flavor and quality in mind.

Blackbird’s Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza Minis are now available in the freezer aisle at Sprouts Farmers Market and Whole Foods Market stores nationwide. To find a store near you, visit https://www.blackbirdfoods.com/contact-find-us.
