Hormel Foods : Domino’s UK Just Launched It’s First Vegan Pepperoni Pizza At 1,200 Stores

While US consumers might have to wait a while for vegan pepperoni to hit Domino's, other chains are already delivering the plant-based goods. Last January, vegan brand Field Roast unveiled its vegan pepperoni which is also made with pea protein, features fat marbling to mimic its pork-derived counterpart, and is spiced with pieces of fennel, cracked black pepper, garlic, and paprika. Canadian chain Pizza Nova was the first to offer Field Roast's Plant-Based Pepperoni on its menu at more than 140 locations across Southern Ontario

In July, Little Caesars-which is the third largest pizza chain in the US, next to Domino's and Pizza Hut-added vegan pepperoni at hundreds of its US restaurants as part of a Planteroni pizza. To kick off 2022, Field Roast's pepperoni made it onto the menu at 170 locations of Donatos Pizza.

And vegan brands aren't the only ones making plant-based pepperoni. Meat giant Hormel-maker of popular processed meat SPAM^®-makes its own vegan pepperoni under its Happy Little Plants^® brand. In September 2020, Hormel's vegan pepperoni landed on the menu at select locations of fast-food chain Papa Murphy's before launching at hundreds of additional foodservice providers in 2021, including Fresh Brothers Pizza in Los Angeles; Busboys and Poets in Washington, DC; Pizza Rock in San Francisco and Las Vegas; Caliente in Pittsburgh, PA; PizzaONE in New York; and Pizzeria Magaddino in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
