Pizza Hut has come a long way after foraying into the vegan market with its vegan pizza topped with Violife cheese in 2017.

Earlier this year, the chain announced its eighth vegan pie – the all new Vegan Stuffed Crust made with Violife’s vegan cheese – across the UK.

Ciara Grace, Senior Menu Innovation Manager at Pizza Hut Restaurants said: “We’re always looking into new and exciting ways to develop our menu and cater to as many guests as possible.

“The vegan stuffed crust was naturally the next step for us to grow our plant-based offering at Pizza Hut Restaurants. We’re really excited to launch the vegan stuffed crust as we’re confident it’s going to be a hit on both taste and texture.”

Stateside, the fast-food chain began trialing two new pies made using Beyond Meat’s plant-based sausage.

Ana Agrelot, Vice President of Marketing at Encanto Restaurants, the Pizza Hut franchisee in Puerto Rico said: “We are delighted to be the first pizza chain bringing this delicious and nutritious plant-based sausage to the Puerto Rican consumer’s table.

“The Beyond Sausage® Pizza & Beyond Sausage® Veggie Pizza are a great option for customers looking to try plant-based protein without sacrificing the iconic flavor of the traditional meat topping pizza.”
