Pizza Hut has begun offering Beyond Meatās vegan pepperoni as a limited-time topping in select locations, following up on its previous LTO featuring Beyond Italian Sausage last year.
According to a press release, the new Beyond Pepperoni Pizza will be offered at nearly 70 Pizza Hut stores, including Albany, New York; Columbus and Macon, Georgia; Houston, Texas; and Jacksonville, Florida.
According to a press release, the plant-based pepperoni, which is made of peas and rice, is ācrisped and seasoned to savory perfectionā and ādelivers just the right amount of subtle heat [with] the same experience and taste of Pizza Hutās classic pepperoni.ā
āWith this new plant-based option, weāre giving customers more choices and more reasons to love Pizza Hut,ā said Georgeanne Erickson, Pizza Hutās chief brand officer.
