Pizza Hut Is Trying Out Vegan Pizzas In The UK & This Is Not A Drill!

Vegans, if you’re not currently in the United Kingdom then I wouldn’t get too excited just yet, but I won’t tell y’all how to live your lives because what’s going down in the UK Pizza Huts is pretty freakin’ exciting. Two words: Vegan. Pizza. (Yas!)

The popular fast-food chain decided that, hey, it’s 2017, so why not make pizzas that vegans can eat? Hello Giggles reports that Pizza Hut UK is now offering vegan pizza on their menu after two months of testing in England. Of course, with any big menu change, managers want to ensure that the demand for that new product is there, as they warned it would only become a permanent menu item if there was a high customer demand for the pies, according to Hello Giggles. Luckily, our fellow pizza-lovers of the vegan variety came through!

“After an amazing customer response to our vegan cheese trial earlier this year, we’re pleased to announce that the dairy-free alternative will now be served in all of our restaurants nationwide and feature as a permanent fixture on our menus,” said Gareth Hopley, Head of Communications at Pizza Hut Restaurants, Metro UK reports. 

 

So, how is this incredible pizza innovation possible? Hello Giggles reports that the pizzas are made with an imitation cheese called Violife, a Greek producer of vegan dairy alternatives, according to Grub Street. If you happen to be in the UK, this delicious vegan-friendly pizza can be yours for an extra dollar. Until then, I’ll cross my fingers extra hard for my vegan friends and frenemies that US Pizza Huts decide to hop on the vegan train.
