'Dr. Oetker Ristorante Vegan Pepperoni-Salame' is the newest addition to the Dr. Oetker range after the previous success of the 'Dr. Oetker Ristorante Vegan Margherita Pomodori.' The new flavor features crispy Ristorante crust, passata, dairy-free mozzarella, and vegan pepperoni-salame. The brand hopes to provide a delicious option for consumers on a vegan diet or those looking to reduce their meat and dairy consumption.
“Our first vegan pizza has been a huge success within the category since its launch in 2021, so we’re really excited to grow the range with our new Ristorante Vegan Pepperoni-Salame and to help vegan pizza lovers have more options when it comes to playing it Italian," said Paula Wyatt, head of marketing at Dr. Oetker Ristorante.
The new pizza will launch at Tesco locations on May 15, 2023.
