It’s not just Pizza Express updating menus to cater to growing demand for vegan food.

Pizza Hut UK offers meat- and dairy-free pepperoni pizza and vegan Southern Fried Quorn nuggets.

Domino’s restaurants in the UK serve vegan chicken nuggets and pizzas. And Papa John’s has more than 10 vegan options, including the meaty Vegan Works, cauliflower Buffalo wings, and vegan cheese and Marmite scrolls.

Earlier this month, plant-based meat brand THIS debuted the UK’s first vegan bacon Hawaiian pizza.
