Weekly Vendor Spotlight: Penny’s Imperfect Pizza
Find Penny’s Imperfect Pizza’s video interview Friday on @westoverfarmersmarket!
Penny’s Imperfect Pizza is an artisanal frozen sourdough pizza business. They make our pizzas in Charlottesville Virginia, but their pizzas can be found throughout Central Virginia and beyond. Penny's Imperfect Pizza is a small-batch frozen pizza brand that features real ingredients, veggies they grow on their farm or sourced from local farms.
Their favorite thing about the market is sharing their pizza with as many people as possible and meeting customers and fellow vendors.
Their best selling pizza is their Garlic White Sauce Pizza with a microgreen drizzle made from broccoli microgreens they grow on their farm.
Seasonal flavors! They rotate seasonally based on what veggies are growing on their farm and locally!
Sustainability Initiatives: They use a local flour in all of their pizzas, veggies they grow on their farm, veggies, sausage and other products from local vendors.
Vegetarian options: They have at least 4 vegetarian signature pizzas on their menu and a rotating veggie pizza most weeks. Their signature veggie pizzas are cheese, Arugula Pesto, Garlic White and Mushroom Confit. Their current seasonal veggie pizza is a Sweet and Spicy Marinated Broccoli Pizza. They also sell Frozen Sourdough Pizza Dough so people can make their own pizzas at home.
Vegan options: They sell Frozen Sourdough Pizza Dough which is vegan. They are working on offering a "cheeseless" pizza and hope to have it soon!
Gluten free options: Most weeks they have a frozen gluten free cheese pizza, with a gluten free dough they make themselves. At times they will carry the gluten free dough with no toppings for customers to make their own pizzas at home.
