Canadian food company Modern Plant-Based Foods (CSE: MEAT) announces its subsidiary Modern Meat is co-developing plant-based pizzas with Carbone Restaurant Group, a leading restaurant group and brand incubator.
“We see great value in a partnership with Modern Foods and their plant-based items”
Modern Meat currently supplies products to Carbone and is working to expand the restaurant group’s plant-based menu offerings, as well as increase product supply volumes.
Pizza ventures
Based in Canada, Carbone owns several quick-service concepts and is a leader in ghost kitchen brands. Through its partnership with Modern Meat, the company now offers Modern Meat Crumble at its FAST FIRED pizza chain via the “Modern Fiesta” pizza, which features vegan mozzarella, vegan bacon crumble, tomato, green pepper, corn, jalapeño, and vegan aioli drizzle.

The menu includes the Modern Meat Crab & Artichoke pizza (vegan white sauce, vegan-style mozzarella, Modern Meat Crab Cake, artichokes and onion), Plant-Based Pulled Pork (with vegan-style mozzarella, cheddar, and plant-based pulled pork), as well as classics like cheese and pepperoni.
