Add Extra Pep to Your Pizza With These Vegan Pepperoni Brands

Published by Rebecca Maness.

Having a homemade pizza party? Pepperoni uses the flesh of cows and pigs, but there’s no need to pile your pizza high with cruelty. These intelligent animals want to spend their lives playing, sunbathing, and loving their babies, not being tortured and killed for food. Luckily, it’s easy to make your pies pig- and cow-friendly by opting for savory vegan pepperoni and creamy, dairy-free cheese. Many of these brands can be found in your local grocery store or ordered online through vegan grocery-delivery services. We’ve even added an easy recipe for a homemade version that you can try.

Here are some vegan pepperoni brands that will level up your pizza:

These slices are packed with classic flavors like anise, fennel, paprika, black pepper, garlic, and cayenne. Find them in stores, or try them on the Planteroni Pizza at Little Caesars—just ask for no cheese!
