Why choose Beyond Pizza?
Simplify your busy life: Everyone is busy. Whether you work, stay home, have kids or pets, the reality is that life in 2018 is full. However, we truly believe that everyone deserves to eat well, no matter how busy their days are. Few people have time to plan, shop for, prep, cook and actually eat consistent, healthy dinners. Beyond Pizza can help streamline the way you plan, shop and cook your meals. It eliminates the stress of “what’s for dinner?” whether that question pops up during a weekly planning session on Sunday evenings or daily around 6:30 pm.
How exactly does Beyond Pizza simplify my life?
Saves time, money, and mental energy: Starting each month, and then each week, with a solid map of meals saves time, saves money, and saves your energy. Instead of spending hours trying to come up with meals to cook during the week, Beyond Pizza provides you with a variety of healthy recipes that are as delicious as they are easy to prepare. By using Beyond Pizza’s weekly shopping list, you can stock your kitchen for the week with only one trip to the grocery store. This equals less time in the car, less money spent on gas, as well as lower shopping bills. We all know how easy it is for those impulse items to slip into our cart at the store. Minimizing trips to the store minimizes mindless spending. Our meals are planned in such a way that food waste is almost completely eliminated. Beyond Pizza will tell you exactly how much you need of each ingredient and we will ensure that you will have very little, if any, product left over at the end of the week. We provide recipes that require minimal time, minimal ingredients, and minimal dishwashing while giving you maximum flavor and variety.
Why should I choose Beyond Pizza over a meal kit delivery service?
Meal delivery services only ship you the food you need for the meals you purchase through them. This means you still must go to the store to get groceries for the rest of your meals. They also use lots of packaging and require you to cook them within a limited window of time. Beyond Pizza provides the list you need to add dinner shopping onto your regular shopping and gives you control over the types/brands you choose to purchase. Generally, our meals can be prepared any night of the week which grants you flexibility and leads to lower food waste.
There are 7 days a week, why are you only supplying 5 dinners?
Five meals per week allows for flexibility to accommodate daily life. The reason you’re even considering this service is because you lead a busy life. Inevitably, we find at least two of our evenings fill up each week. It could be a late work meeting, a dinner with friends, acting as taxi for your kids’ activities, finding yourself with leftovers, but no matter what the reason, we rarely see the need to cook planned meals seven nights a week. By only planning and shopping for five meals, you have the freedom to accept that dinner invite or eat those leftovers, without worrying that your ingredients for one dinner will go to waste. Simply bump that meal to the weekend and you’re still all set.
How many people does each recipe serve?
Our dinners are designed to serve 4 people. This allows them to be easily halved to feed fewer people our doubled to accommodate a larger group. Even if you are cooking for fewer than 4 people, using the recipes as written provides you with enough for larger portions or leftovers to enjoy for lunch the next day.
What if I don’t eat meat/dairy/nuts/grains/etc?
Although Beyond Pizza does not offer customized meal plans at this time, most of our recipes can be easily altered to accommodate dietary restrictions. For example, if your week includes a pasta dish, feel free to prepare whatever kind of pasta you prefer: traditional, gluten-free, or veggie based. The same goes for any ingredients you may just not care for. Most meats/veggies can be swapped for something comparable that is more to your liking. Feel free to email us for suggestions or with any substitution questions.
Do you provide nutrition information for the meals?
At this time we do not. We strive to design our meals to be balanced. Some are healthier than others, but most include a variety of protein, carbohydrates, and fats.
Do you offer kid-friendly meal options?
With the exception of recipes written to have an extra kick of spice, we find that almost all the recipes are for meals kids can enjoy along with you. As people who are passionate about food, we think it’s important to introduce even the littlest eaters to a wide variety of ingredients, flavors, and textures. Something we find helpful when introducing new foods to our kids, is to plate their meals as deconstructed versions of our own meal. For example, if we are having tacos, we will serve our kids all the ingredients included in the tacos, but laid out separately on their plate rather than rolled into a tortilla. This gives them more control over how they approach the meal and is often easier for their little fingers and mouths to handle. If we are cooking a meal that is high on the spicy scale, we portion out a little of the sauce or whatever it may be, prior to adding the spice. By doing this, the kids still get to enjoy what the family is eating, but at a level that is better suited to their tender palates.
