Pizza Hut has launched a range of three vegan-friendly pizzas featuring vegan Beyond Meat topping across the UK.
The pizzas, which feature dairy cheese by default but can be ordered with vegan cheese for no additional cost, were designed ‘to appeal to meat-lovers, flexitarians and vegetarians alike’, according to the chain.
Available now at Pizza Hut Delivery locations nationwide, the range will be rolling into all Pizza Hut restaurants across the UK from January 2024, for a limited time while supplies last.
According to a statement sent from the brand to Vegan Food & Living: “The two iconic brands have come together once again to create a game-changing pizza topping which will delight a nation of pepperoni-loving Brits, especially Gen Z with 80 per cent of them reporting that they’d love to try a plant-based version.”
It adds the vegan pizzas have been designed to replicate their traditionally cheesy and meaty counterparts, and are the ‘perfect option for those who want the juicy, meaty experience but with the added lifestyle and environmental benefits of plant-based protein’.
