Pizza Hut Officially Adds Vegan Pizzas To Their Menus In The UK

As the innovations revolving around vegan food continue to get more creative and delicious, an increasing number of restaurants are incorporating the plant-based lifestyle into their menus. Fatburger recently brought in the Impossible Burger, and McDonald's even tested out a McVegan sandwich of their own. Now, Pizza Hut is jumping into the fray with a lineup of vegan pizzas that are launching across the entire United Kingdom.

Over the past couple of months, a few locations in the UK were testing out the vegan pies, according to Metro News. After drawing praise from PETA and facing massive demand once the news broke, the global pizza giant decided to give the country what it wanted and launched its vegan pizzas at all 262 locations nationwide. Grubstreet reports that it does come at an upcharge of one Euro, so be prepared for that extra cost.

To make their plant-based pizzas possible, Pizza Hut has been working with Violife, a Greek producer of pseudo cheeses that's starting to make an impact in the United States as well. Here, 107 different locations across the nation either use Violife for their own pizzas or sell it in their stores.

This is definitely not the first vegan pizza option to be made available at a major fast food player, as Domino's offers vegan cheese in Israel and several smaller chains, like Blaze Pizza, do the same. However, Pizza Hut UK's incorporation of vegan pizzas is definitely a telling sign of the growing acceptance of plant-based fare as it becomes even more mainstream.
