Alongside frozen pizza options like Spinach & Feta, Cheese and Chicken & BBQ Sauce, Whole Foods' accessibly priced private label brand 365 Everyday Value is now carrying a simple vegan pizza.
Rather than just making a simple pizza without meat and cheese, this new product goes above and beyond to cater to those who follow strict or flexible plant-based diets. The pizza is made with a whole wheat flour crust that's topped with olives, tomatoes and Daiya's own dairy-free mozzarella-style cheese shreds.
The rise of full-time and part-time vegan diets has inspired many conscious brands to reinterpret many comfort food classics in healthier ways. In the past, 365 Everyday Value's collection has also expanded to include meatless meatballs, vegan lasagna and no-chicken nuggets.
