Sizl raises $3.5M to expand its cook-to-order food delivery service

Fresh Ingredients and Local Sourcing

A key highlight of the meal delivery service is its commitment to using fresh ingredients sourced from local suppliers, which is essential for attracting health-conscious customers. Sizzle differentiates itself from typical dark kitchens by operating its own kitchens with a dedicated team, including Ukrainian cooks and local culinary talent, which enhances the quality of its meals. In addition to local sourcing, such as partnering with GreenZis, an organic farm in central Illinois, Sizzle also collaborates with larger distributors to ensure a steady supply of ingredients. This focus on quality and freshness is crucial in an industry often plagued by perceptions of inconsistency, especially with ghost kitchens that commonly rely on third-party suppliers for their meal preparations.
