Daiya's Slice Club is a first-of-its-kind pop-up slice shop that serves plant-curious consumers in New York City. For a short time, this pop-up is taking over NYC's iconic Two Boots pizzeria in the West Village in response to the fact that a high percentage of people (85%) are open and excited to try new plant-based foods but only one in 10 feel comfortable doing so at a restaurant or in public.
Slice Club opened its doors to the public as a judgment-free zone where people can unpack their preferences with the aid of Daiya's newly-appointed Slice Consultant, Nasim Lahbichi, multicultural recipe developer and digital storyteller. On-site, visitors have the chance to explore plant-based pizzas from Daiya like Meatless Pepperoni, Cheeze Lover's and BBQ Plant-based Chick'n Style.
