Pizza Hut Partners With Beyond Meat to Launch Plant-Based Pepperoni Topping

On August 10, Pizza Hut and Beyond Meat announced the new Beyond Pepperoni Pizza! Made from a rice and pea base, the Beyond Meat pepperoni is free from soy, gluten, and cholesterol. Customers can order the pepperoni on any crust they would like.

The Beyond Meat pepperoni will be available at 70 select Pizza Hut locations in Albany, New York; Columbus and Macon, Georgia; Houston, Texas; and Jacksonville, Florida for a limited time.

This is not Beyond Meat’s first partnership with the pizza chain. They partnered with Pizza Hut in the past to launch a Beyond Meat sausage topping. Beyond Meat also recently launched their plant-based chicken nuggets at A&W locations throughout Canada.

Georgeanne Erickson, Chief Brand Officer of Pizza Hut, commented, “Pizza Hut’s new Beyond Pepperoni Pizza delivers the same iconic taste as our original pepperoni that fans know and love.” Erickson continued, “With this new plant-based option, we’re giving customers more choices and more reasons to love Pizza Hut.”

Dariush Ajami, Chief Innovation Officer of Beyond Meat, added, “We’re confident fans will love Beyond Pepperoni as it delivers the crisped edges and savory flavor profile of Pizza Hut’s classic pepperoni with the added benefits of plant-based meat.”
