One Planet Pizza secures £162k from Anglia Capital Group to expand plant-based pizza production
The Norfolk food company raised the follow-on funding from Anglia Capital Group and New Anglia Capital.
One Planet Pizza creates plant-based frozen pizzas designed to offer sustainable food options for mainstream consumers.
Norwich-based vegan pizza maker One Planet Pizza has secured £162.9k in equity funding from Anglia Capital Group and its co-investment fund New Anglia Capital.
The follow-on investment follows an initial funding round in January 2021 when the company raised £115k from the same investors.
The fresh capital will support the company as it expands its retail presence following a recent launch into ASDA stores and scales operations at its Norfolk base.
From the founder
"It’s been one hell of a ride, since we ignited our first pizza oven in the garage in 2016, to the global business we are today so it means a lot to us to be supported by local investors. As a family founded Norfolk business, we are overwhelmed with the support we have had so far which has led to success of the brand both in the UK and internationally."

Investor perspective
"One Planet Pizza were initially successful in securing £115,000 through Anglia Capital Group and our co-investment fund, New Anglia Capital, the first time they pitched to the group in 2021. We were delighted to hear from them early in 2022 when they were looking to raise again. It’s always good to have a portfolio company come back to present to the members for a follow-on round and to share their progress. They once again gave an impressive pitch and received £162,876 through Anglia Capital Group and New Anglia Capital. One Planet Pizza are based locally here in Norwich and it’s incredibly satisfying for the Anglia Capital Group team to see them going from strength to strength"
