Savoury specialties in foodservice
For PETA, the best vegan pizza, pasty, and sandwich all come from the foodservice sector.
Papa John’s has won the award for the best vegan pizza for its plant-based offering The Vegan Works. The pizza is ‘loaded’ with vegan sausage, slices of jackfruit ‘pepperoni’, mushrooms, peppers, onions, olives, tomato sauce, and vegan cheese.
The best vegan sandwich awarded has gone to Subway for its Meatless Meatball Marinara – which champions the chain’s vegan meatballs and marinara sauce, together with vegan cheese.
Unsurprisingly, the award for the best vegan pasty goes to the very popular Greggs Vegan Steak Bake. The product – made up of 96 layers of puff pastry filled with Quorn pieces, diced onions, and a gravy filling – was launched in January this year, following the successful launch of Greggs’ vegan sausage roll in 2019.
