Khaleed Juma, GA Pizza’s Chief Marketing Officer, is ecstatic
about the synergy between the brands, and says: “The relationship
between GA Pizza and Impossible Foods paves the way for a new wave
of menu innovation. Our Pizza People are hungry for flexitarian
options that don’t sacrifice quality, nutrition, and most
importantly, taste, and working with Impossible Foods, allows us to
continue to pursue our ‘you CAN have it all’ strategy when it comes
to delicious pizza. My hope is that this is just the
beginning.”
GA Pizza Chefs Curt Martin and Nicholas Morra drew inspiration
from iconic pizza destination, Brooklyn, NY to create the new
Impossible Pizza. The 10” pizza features housemade tomato sauce,
Impossible product made from plants and seasoned with chili,
garlic, and toasted fennel seed. Fresh anaheim chilis and thinly
shaved white onions complement the fennel-spiced plant-based
protein. The pizza is finished with three types of cheese: premium
fior di latte, grass-fed mozzarella, and grana padano. The
made-in-Italy brick oven is fuelled by Canadian oak and sugar
maple, which adds a delicious smoky flavour to the pizza’s
toppings: “There’s nothing in the world that beats wood-fired
pizza—that beautiful leoparding on the crust, and the gorgeous
aromas. This pizza has hints of anise from the fennel, and a floral
note from our wild oregano.” said Morra.
The Impossible Pizza flexitarian option introduces a new way to
pizza, blending GA’s old world technique of naturally leavened
dough and a wood-fired cook, with delicious new world innovation
from Impossible Foods.
Impossible Foods’ Nick Halla, Senior Vice President of
International, adds, “We’re thrilled to kick off our relationship
with GA Pizza this summer with the release of the new Impossible
Pizza. Not only are we huge fans of their product, but we also
believe there’s so much affinity between the two companies and are
excited for what we’ll offer down the road. GA Pizza’s commitment
to quality, innovation and delivering delicious food to their
customers makes us highly confident they will be fantastic stewards
of Impossible Foods’ award-winning plant-based meat. We can’t wait
to see what our companies deliver together in the future.”
Impossible Pizza will be served alongside GA pizza classics,
like Mila Margherita, Sweet Heat, and King ‘Shroom, at GA Pizza’s
semi-permanent restaurant at The Slip. Toronto’s largest waterfront
patio, with a capacity of 800 seats, The Slip will offer GA Pizza’s
naturally leavened, wood-fired personal pizzas, beginning on
Thursday, June 24 for lakeside dining and takeout. Open views to
the dough and pizza preparation, and of course, the central
element: GA Pizza’s formidable wood-fired brick oven—a culinary
revelation for any pizza lover.
