Vegan pepperoni brands to try at your next pizza party

Published by Jul 30, 2021 on Rebecca Maness…

Are you having a homemade pizza party? Pepperoni uses meat from cows and pigs, but there is no need to pile up the pizza with cruelty. These intelligent animals want to spend their lives playing, sunbathing and loving their babies, rather than being tortured and killed for food. Luckily, your pies are easy to make for pigs and cows with a selection of savory vegan pepperoni and creamy dairy-free cheese. Many of these brands can be found at your local grocery store or ordered online through vegan grocery delivery services. We’ve even added a simple homemade version recipe for you to try.

Here are some vegan pepperoni brands that will enhance your pizza:

Classic Pizzeria Field Roast Plant-Based Pepperoni Slices

These slices are infused with classic flavors such as anise, fennel, pepper, black pepper, garlic and cayenne pepper. Find them in stores or try them at Planteroni Pizza at Little Caesars – just don’t ask for cheese!

Sweet earth, Italian delicacies with plant-based pepperoni

Sweet Earth pepperoni slices are slightly larger, so they are great to lay on a sandwich or cut to toss in an Italian-style salad.

BE-Hive Plant Based Pepperoni

BE-Hive’s Seitan Pepperoni is trusted even by vegan pizzerias, including New York’s Screamer’s. You can find it in online stores, specialty grocery stores, or a brand store in Nashville, Tennessee.
