Daiya's new Diavola pizza is available exclusively in Canada and it's a first-to-market spicy dairy-free, gluten-free pizza made for consumers who crave bold flavors and a fiery kick.
Named after the traditional Diavola pizza–which means "of the devil" in Italian—this new frozen pizza from Daiya gets its spiciness from red jalapeños and chili flakes. This hot topping is paired with plant-based salami-flavored slices, red onions, and Daiya's dairy-free Mozzarella prepared with the proprietary Daiya Oat Cream blend, and served on a light, crispy gluten-free crust.
The Diavola pizza responds to growing consumer demand for bold flavors, with Daiya noting that "84% of consumers enjoy spicy dishes, and one in three are eager to try new levels of heat."
