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
