Wow—what an experience! Our first time exhibiting at Expo West ? and we couldn’t be more grateful. A huge thank you to :INCLUDED CPG, Victoria Ho, and Jomaree Pinkard for making it possible for us to showcase our products at this incredible show. Reflections on the Show: This marks our fourth trade show—starting with Summer Fancy Food Show, Newtopia Now, Winter Fancy Food Show, and now Expo West! It’s been amazing to reconnect with familiar faces, strengthen existing relationships, and forge new ones as we continue expanding our brand. Hearing feedback from attendees, whether it was their first time trying our pizzas or their fourth time coming back for more, was incredibly rewarding. Knowing that our product delivers consistent quality and excitement means the world to us—we’ve truly created something special. A Special Honor: On the second night of Expo West, we attended the Nexty Awards and were beyond honored to learn that our Frozen Miso Eggplant Pizza won Best Prepared Frozen Food! With so many incredible brands in the category, this recognition from New Hope Network is something we don’t take lightly. We’re excited to keep the momentum going and hope you’ll be able to find our products in a store near you soon. Thank you for being part of our journey!

Super excited to be sampling at Startup CPG's Grocery Run with Good Stuff Distributor, Inc. Before moving to Los Angeles, we lived in San Francisco which was our home for over 10+ years.?When we heard about this incredible opportunity to do a Grocery Run in San Francisco, we knew we had to make the drive from LA to SF to share our frozen pizzas in our former backyard. If you're attending, be sure to stop by, say hi, and grab a sample—we’d love to connect! https://lnkd.in/gEK2m4FQ

A huge thank you to the Specialty Food Association for giving us this incredible opportunity! It means so much to showcase our creations and share the story behind pi00a with others who are as passionate about food as we are. We’ve poured our hearts into crafting authentic Neapolitan pizzas with an Asian-inspired twist, and we’re so excited about the possibility of bringing them to more tables through partnerships with retailers. Sharing these flavors and our purpose with you has been a dream come true. We’re also honored to compete alongside amazing brands, Milkish, RINGA?, and Freezenation. The creativity and dedication these brands bring to the table inspire us. Thank you again, SFA, for believing in small businesses like ours and giving us the chance to shine.
