# Vegan-Friendly Pizzas Daiya's 'Supreme' Pizza is Topped with Non-Dairy Cheese and Mock Meat By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-03-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-friendly-pizzas References: [prnewswire](http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/daiya-teams-up-with-beyond-meat-to-expand-frozen-pizza-offering-300099564.html) & [daiyafoods](http://daiyafoods.com/) The rise of plant-based eating has led to many pizzerias beginning to offer gluten-free and vegan-friendly pizzas. However, these options are much harder to find in frozen food options. What's even more rare is Daiya creating a gluten-free crust topped with a melty, shredded non-dairy cheese and mock meat pieces that substitute commonly used animal proteins. In collaboration with Beyond Meat, Daiya developed the Supreme pizza, which is a satisfying frozen pizza that appeals to "over 22 million vegetarians, a third of the population who is dairy sensitive, and an ever increasing number of people now following a plant-based diet." In addition to its Supreme pizza, Daiya also carries a range of satisfying non-dairy pizzas like Cheese Lover's, Spinach & Mushroom, Margherita, Fire-Roasted Vegetable and Mushroom & Roasted Garlic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Plant-based Eating:** Creating frozen pizzas with plant-based and vegan-friendly ingredients opens up opportunities in the growing market of plant-based and vegan foods. - **Beyond Meat Collaboration:** Collaborating with alternative meat companies like Beyond Meat allows for innovative pizza toppings that cater to the increasing number of people following a plant-based diet. - **Gluten-free Options:** Introducing gluten-free crusts and toppings in frozen pizzas addresses the demand for gluten-free products and provides opportunities in the gluten-free market segment. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Developing vegan-friendly frozen pizzas aligns with the growing demand for plant-based foods and attracts consumers seeking healthier, ethical food options. - **Frozen Food:** Introducing frozen pizzas with non-dairy cheese and mock meat opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the frozen food industry, catering to vegetarian, dairy-sensitive, and plant-based consumers. - **Alternative Meat:** Collaborating with alternative meat companies like Beyond Meat in creating pizza toppings presents new possibilities to revolutionize the alternative meat industry by diversifying product applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spicy Free-From Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diavola-pizza.md) - [Plant-Based Pizza Ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-pizza-ingredients.md) - [Allergen-Friendly Flatbreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-flatbread.md) - [Plant-Based Cheese Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/violife.md) - [Meatless Deep Dish Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatless-deep-dish-pizza.md) - [Satisfying Meat-Free Pizza Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toppers-pizza-vegan-pizzas.md) - [Nut-Based Vegan Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutbased-vegan-pizza.md) - [Italian-Style Plant-Powered Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-4-cheeze-style-blend.md) - [Allergy-Friendly Flatbreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allergy-friendly-flatbreads.md)
