Blackbird Foods Launches Hand-Tossed NY-Style Pizzas At Hy-Vee

New York, May 2025 – Blackbird Foods, the chef-crafted plant-based foods brand, is thrilled to announce the launch of its hand-tossed New York-style pizzas at Hy-Vee. Shoppers across the Midwest can now enjoy a classic NYC slice—no travel required.

Made in New York City, Blackbird’s pizzas feature an overnight-rising dough that delivers an authentic pizzeria-style crust: crisp on the outside, soft and airy on the inside. Ready in just eight minutes, they are the perfect grab-and-bake meal for busy summer days. Each pizza is vegan, dairy-free, non-GMO, and cholesterol-free—offering a better-for-you option for today’s conscious consumers.

The Hy-Vee lineup includes Margherita Pizza topped with fresh basil, Supreme Pizza layered with seasoned sausage crumbles, and classic Pepperoni Pizza made with Beyond Meat® Beyond Pepperoni. These pizzas are perfectly crafted to satisfy traditional cravings with a plant-based twist.

“We’re excited to bring our NY-style pizzas to Hy-Vee shoppers,” said Emanuel Storch, Co-Founder of Blackbird Foods. “Our mission has always been to make restaurant-quality plant-based food more accessible, and this launch is a big step in that direction.”

Founded in 2020, Blackbird Foods has grown rapidly since its launch. In addition to frozen pizzas, the company also offers plant-based wings and high-protein seitan, all crafted with quality and flavor in mind.

Blackbird’s Margherita, Supreme, and Pepperoni pizzas are now available in 88 Hy-Vee locations, with a suggested retail price of $9.99.
