There are some foodies who view their appetites as something to be conquered—for those people who also make a point to follow a plant-based and cruelty-free diet, there's a vegan pizza called the 'Pig Destroyer Destroyer.'
While there are plenty of pizzas out there for meat lovers, this one from Apiecalypse Now! in NYC seems to be the vegan meat lover's equivalent. This pizza gets its name from the Pig Destroyer pizza served at Sizzle Pie, which is made with real pig meat.
At the vegan pizza and snack bar, the Pig Destroyer Destroyer pizza is described as "obnoxiously meaty," containing five types of mock meat like "pepperphony" and "not chicken," as well as a few artichokes to up the vegetable content and generous amounts of Daiya's meltable dairy-free cheese.
