Pizza giant Domino's has revealed that it is trialing two new vegan-friendly pies in the U.K. and Republic of Ireland from today.

The options - which include a Vegan Margherita and Vegan Vegi Supreme - will be available from 46* stores nationwide, via the brand's website and delivery app.

The Margherita features tomato sauce and vegan cheese made by Domino's, and the Vegi Supreme adds mushrooms, sweetcorn, onions, green & red peppers, and tomatoes. In addition, diners can customize their pies with any other vegan-friendly ingredients.

The pizzas come in a medium size and will be served with a side of Domino’s BBQ dip (vegan). They are priced the same as non-vegan equivalents.

'A while coming'

According to Domino's, it has taken some time to develop a plant-based dough. A previous trial was deemed not up to scratch, says the company, and so a further year of trial and error was required.

In a statement sent to Plant Based News, Aman Prasher, Domino’s chief vegan dough developer said: "Our vegan offering has been a while coming because we’re determined to make sure it’s full of our iconic Domino’s flavour. We might not be first but we’re always the best – no compromises.

"Our dedicated pizza chefs are incredibly excited for our fans to try this new and improved latest dough as we believe we’ve nailed it. If they agree, and love it as much as we do, Domino’s will roll out nationwide. We’ve now busy working on some toppings and sides -so watch this space."
