Pizza Hut UK has launched vegan Beyond Meat toppings at its Delivery Hut locations nationwide. The pizza chain said that it is ‘responding directly to feedback from customers’ by introducing the new meat-free items.

The new toppings include Beyond Meat’s Italian Style Sausage, Pork Crumbles, and Beef Crumbles. Beyond Meat crafted the vegan meat so that it closely mimics Pizza Hut’s animal-based versions.

In a press release, Pizza Hut said the vegan toppings can be enjoyed ‘without any compromise on taste’.

The chain has incorporated the ingredients into three new pizzas and a side, which are now available for collection or delivery ‘on a permanent basis’.

The new menu items are made with dairy cheese. Pizza Hut does offer vegan cheese, but the chain has not announced whether the pizzas will be customizable.

The UK launch is part of Pizza Hut and Beyond Meat’s global strategic partnership. Pizza Hut teamed up with the brand, in part, for its appeal to a younger customer base.

Since then, the two companies have made joint announcements in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Belgium.
