March 6, 2025

First of Its Kind Freeze-Dried Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bowl to Launch in Spring 2025

March 6, 2025 – Albany, OR – /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Mountain House, the leader in freeze-dried meals for outdoor enthusiasts and emergency preparedness, is revolutionizing the prepared food market with its latest innovation: the Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bowl. A first in the freeze-dried category, this delicious new meal will deliver the classic taste of oven-fresh pizza—anytime, anywhere starting on March 6, 2025.

Answering the call of its loyal customers, Mountain House is delivering America’s favorite comfort food to the backcountry and beyond. The Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bowl is crafted with real, high-quality ingredients and cooked in small batches before freeze-drying, so consumers get all the sweet, savory satisfaction of pizza anywhere they roam. Each bite is packed with smoky, spicy pepperoni, sweet and tangy tomato sauce, rich, creamy mozzarella, and chewy bites of pizza crust—just like your favorite slice, but built for adventure. With no artificial colors or flavoring this meal packs 28g of protein per pouch and 740 calories to fuel outdoor enthusiasts on their adventures or to spice up meal options in emergency preparedness kits. This is the meal you didn’t know you needed—but won’t be able to resist.

“At Mountain House, we listen to our customers, and the number one thing we get asked for is a pizza meal they can take anywhere,” said Drew Huebsch, Research and Development Director, at Mountain House. “The Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bowl is a product we think everyone will love—it’s a different experience than hot pizza coming out of the oven but still incorporates the nostalgic characteristics of crunchy crust, gooey cheese stretch, spicy pepperoni, and bold tomato sauce. We see this meal as a game-changer in the just-add-water meal space, bringing a taste of America’s favorite indulgence to the world of freeze-dried food.”

Since 1969, Mountain House has been pioneering the freeze-dried food industry, earning the trust of outdoor enthusiasts, emergency preppers, and the U.S. military. With an unmatched 30-year shelf life, Mountain House meals deliver superior taste, texture, and nutrition compared to dehydrated food. Every meal is crafted with simple, whole ingredients and cooked in small batches to allow each ingredient to meld together for an enhanced flavor profile. The meal is then freeze-dried to preserve its taste and nutrients for a delectable dining experience.

The Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bowl launches March 6 and will be available in two-serving pouches with an MSRP of $11.99. Find it at specialty outdoor stores, and online at www.mountainhouse.com.
