If you love pizza but are following a vegan diet - or are embracing Veganuary - then Pizza Hut has answered your foodie prayers in the form of a new vegan pizza.
The ‘Vegan Pepperphoni Pizza ‘
Pizza Hut’s new ‘Vegan Pepperphoni Pizza’ is available in stores throughout this month, having launched at the start of 2020 (1 Jan).

The pizza is topped with meat-free ‘Pepperphoni’, made from pea protein and Violife vegan ch**se, which provides a plant-based substitute to the nation’s much-loved pepperoni pizza.
The Pepperphoni pizza can also be ordered as a vegetarian option with mozzarella cheese.
This new vegan product is the seventh pizza to join the vegan menu, which also includes a variety of sides and desserts.

‘The Pepperphoni Challenge’
Pizza Hut is confident that the plant-based pepperoni substitute tastes just like the real thing, and is therefore challenging the nation to take ‘The Pepperphoni Challenge’ throughout Veganuary, by sharing their experiences on social media.
Ciara Grace, Senior Menu Innovation Manager at Pizza Hut Restaurants, said: “Following the success of our vegan Jack ‘N’ Ch**se Pizza last Veganuary, we wanted to create something new for 2020 to excite both vegan and non-vegan customers.

A stellar vegan offering
Vegan fans were treated to several new food items from popular chains last year, most notable of which was the launch of Greggs’ ever-so popular vegan sausage roll.
Such was the success of the launch, the bakery has now added a vegan version of the staple steak bake to its menu.
After months of speculation and wishful thinking, the bakery chain launched the vegan steak bake in stores across the UK today (2 Jan).
