The White Rabbit Pizza Co. Chick’n & Pesto Calzone is being launched by the brand as a new addition to its existing range of vegan pizza products to help consumers in the UK easily enjoy some of their favorite flavors and ingredients.
The calzone comes as the first of its kind in the market, and has a plant-based recipe that is crafted with a creamy MozzaRisella cheese alternative, basil pesto, vine-ripened Sicilians tomatoes and chick'n strips. The product is being launched at Sainsbury's locations at a price point of £5.
Co-Founder Nick Croft-Simon spoke on the new The White Rabbit Pizza Co. Chick’n & Pesto Calzone saying, "At White Rabbit, we want to make a plant-based diet more inclusive via authentic, delicious taste credentials and we also want to make the switch easy. Growth in plant-based has increased dramatically over the Covid-19 pandemic, with one in four of us reducing the amount of animal products we consume. The most compelling way to introduce this new audience into plant-based is to take away all compromises with ‘food for tonight’ that tastes incredible in a quick and convenient format."
