The company makes plant-based pizza crusts for people who want dietary-friendly food that still feels at home at the dinner table.

Pleese FoodsPleese Foods is a family business founded by New Yorkers Kobi and Abev Regev after they went plant-based in 2014 and missed the character of a proper New York pizza. The company makes vegan cheese for people avoiding dairy or common allergens, with a focus on giving children and adults a more familiar pizza experience.
Mushroom SquaredBuilt on four decades of supplying gourmet mushrooms to New York City restaurants, Mushroom Squared makes frozen plant-based patties centered on whole maitake mushrooms. The company brings that restaurant-focused sourcing standard to home kitchens with patties that cook straight from frozen and use recognizable ingredients rather than methylcellulose or mystery powders. Its parent company, Mushrooms and More, has served more than 100 New York City restaurants since 1983, while Mushroom Squared develops functional variations such as its Lion’s Mane-infused Cognitive Harmony patty.GEORGETOWN, NY

Feel Good DoughBorn from Cleveland baker Terry Thomsen’s search for a wheat option that worked better for her digestion, Feel Good Dough makes organic, plant-based pizza dough and baking mixes.

The woman-owned company sells frozen dough, dry mixes, and organic flour to households and wholesale customers.FAIRVIEW PARK, OH
