GARDEN TRUCK FOODS PEPPERONI

Crafted by Chef Gail Patak

For over a decade, we’ve been rethinking what plant-based food can be—bold in flavor, rooted in sustainability, and crafted with compassion.

Every slice we make is a step toward real change, starting with what’s on your plate.

Our not-so-secret weapon? The mighty pinto bean. This humble little legume pulls double duty, delivering rich, smoky flavor and real nutrition, while being kind to animals and the planet.

That’s why it’s the star of our fan-favorite Pinto Bean Pepperoni.

But this isn’t just pepperoni—it’s the vision of Chef Gail Patak brought to life.

With over 25 years in hospitality—from pastry school at Culinard to developing restaurants, menus, and teams—Gail knows how to make food that’s unforgettable. She co-founded Garden Truck Foods to create bold, plant-powered recipes that nourish people and protect the planet.

Her Pinto Bean Pepperoni is all of that in one bite: creative, comforting, and rooted in real ingredients.

WHY THE PINTO BEAN?

Small bean. Big impact—for your body and the planet.

At Garden Truck Foods, we’ve spent over a decade crafting plant-based foods that are as delicious as they are sustainable. Because we believe good food should taste amazing and do good.

Every year, over 80 million land animals are raised and slaughtered for food. It’s a process that harms the climate, drives deforestation, depletes resources, and causes immense suffering. But around the world, more and more people are shifting toward plant-based diets to help protect animals, improve their health, and lighten their impact on the planet. That movement fuels everything we do.

Our answer? The pinto bean.

This humble legume is the backbone of our signature products—including our fan-favorite Pepperoni. And for good reason. Pinto beans are packed with nutrition and flavor, while offering real environmental benefits.

A 3-ounce serving gives you:

  • 122 calories

  • 22.4g of complex carbs

  • 7.7g of fiber

  • 7.7g of plant-powered protein

  • Plus essential nutrients your body needs to feel good and keep going.

Even better? Pinto beans are kind to the Earth. They use less water, help enrich the soil, and require fewer resources to grow than animal-based protein sources.
