Home Run Inn, a pizzeria chain based in Chicago, Illinois, is known for its traditional-style pizza (not the deep-dish Chicago-style pizza), slightly spicy sauce, and abundant cheese and toppings. Home Run Inn's pizza is hand-tossed, with a buttery crust of medium thickness and unique flavor. The Meat Lover's is piled high with homemade Italian sausage, apple-smoked bacon, and all natural, uncured pepperoni; the Sausage keeps it simple with just that: sausage and cheese. Weighing in at a hefty 30-32oz, these are by far the biggest pies Wheatsville has carried—in fact; they're double the size of most of our frozen pizzas!-- and are an excellent value for their size.
30-32oz, Reg. $10.99









 
Naked Pizzas are made from a diversity of real food ingredients with all of the stuff you want in your food and none of the stuff you don’t want. Instead of your usual overly processed, white-flour pizza crust, the frozen Naked crusts are made with oats, brown rice, buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth, teff, spelt, tapioca, and two kinds of wheat; plus agave fiber, probiotics, and prebiotics. One serving size (1/2 of a frozen cheese pizza) contains an impressive 7 grams of fiber and 19 grams of protein.
10.4-11.3oz, Reg. $8.99







Do you shy away from recipes that call for buttermilk because you know you'll never be able to finish a whole quart? Saco's powdered Buttermilk Blend is made from real sweet cream and churned buttermilk, and contains natural emulsifiers that remain after the butter has been churned. These emulsifiers improve the volume, texture, and aroma of your baked goods, and extend their freshness. This Cultured Buttermilk Blend can be used in nearly any recipe that calls for liquid buttermilk or soured milk; simply mix with water to reconstitute. Ready when you are, Saco's Cultured Buttermilk Blend stores for years on your pantry shelf, or, after opening, in your refrigerator.

Established in 2002, Tyrrell's has grown to become one of the UK’s best loved premium potato chips brands. Tyrrell's is involved in every aspect of making these great tasting potato chips, or 'crisps'; from planting the finest Lady Rosetta and Lady Claire seed potatoes in the rich fertile Herefordshire fields, to achieving the perfect Tyrrell's hand cooked ‘crunch’. Tyrrell's is in total control from seed to chip, and that’s part of what we believe makes these potato chips deliciously unique.

In 2008, the students and teachers of Breath and Body Yoga were introduced to a locally brewed kombucha and instantly became fans of the ancient elixir. When the local brewer stopped production, a group of yogis decided to fill the void, and Kosmic Kombucha was born. Kosmic Kombucha is brewed in Austin with organic ingredients and fresh produce from local markets. New to the lineup is the Ms. Pink flavor, a lush, tropical concoction of organic kombucha flavored with guava, mango, papaya, and a kiss of local honey. Guava notably dominates and accounts for the bright pastel hue; if you're a fan, you'll love Ms. Pink! 18oz, Reg. $3.59




Bee Free Honee is a unique sweetener with a slightly tart flavor. It is "apple honey" in that it is made from apples rather than by bees! Only three all-natural ingredients are used: apple, pure cane sugar, and lemon juice. There is nothing artificial, no added color and no corn syrup. It's great for vegans, small children (no fear of botulism), those allergic to traditional honey, foodies looking for a new flavor, and those concerned about Colony Collapse Disorder (which is currently causing decline in the bee population). Bee Free Honee can be used in BBQ sauces, hot and cold beverages, vinaigrettes, granola, cakes, breads... if you use traditional honey in the recipe, you can use Bee Free Honee interchangeably. 12oz, Reg. $4.89
