Though traditional pizza has been largely off the table for many vegans in the past, Toppers Pizza is one company looking to expand its range of appeal with an entirely vegan menu that makes it easier than ever for customers to place their orders without having to worry about substituting key ingredients themselves.
The vegan menu spotlights a selection of savory pizzas that are made with dairy-free cheese alternatives, fresh veggies, and plant-based proteins. Most recently, Toppers added Veganstix to its menu, which are a vegan-friendly alternative to its popular garlic Topperstix. Veganstix are topped with a generous layer of the chain's vegan garlic sauce, and can be paired with a selection of dips, like Topper's dairy-free ranch. To make it easier for customers to make other dishes more vegan-friendly, Topper's also includes a catalog of all toppings, crust types, and sauces that will meet their needs.
