zpizza considering new vegan cheese
(Update: The vegan cheese pizza at zpizza is here (or coming very, very soon)!)
I have two zpizza restaurants near me, one not far from my house and the other near my work. I love the fact that they have veggie meat options and offer a soy cheese pizza. The problem: their soy cheese contains casein, so it’s not an option.
I wrote to them, knowing that they’re a fast-growing national pizza chain, and urged them to consider using a vegan cheese. Turns out that they’re actively testing a number of vegan cheese options, including a certain brand from Chicago. This would be a huge win for pizza-loving vegans everywhere, so drop them a line and let them know that you’d love to see them start offering a vegan cheese option, particularly if there’s a zpizza in your area.
In addition to letting me know about their search for a good vegan cheese, they also passed along this helpful list of current vegan options at zpizza:
