This restaurant has stolen a pizza my heart forever. I have such joyful memories growing up in the early 80s and visiting Pizza Hut with my mom, my grandma, and my sister once a month. We would load up on pepperoni pizza, sip Pepsi out of huge red plastic cups and (my personal favorite) eat salad on super small plates covered with spoonfuls of sticky, orange french dressing and as many sunflower seeds as the plate could handle.
When I got older and I had my own family, my youngest son loved Pizza Hut as much as I did and would always ask for Pizza Hut for his birthday dinner. At that time, I had no idea how much the dairy cheese and pepperoni were hindering our health and causing so much suffering to animals.
I didn’t have to think about how to order vegan at Pizza Hut back then, but now I’m on a mission to fulfill my plant-based pizza cravings! While they don’t have vegan cheese (yet), you can load up your pizza with tasty crusty, a variety of sauces, and all the veggies your heart desires.
Here’s how to order vegan at Pizza Hut and make your own mouth watering meal:
We hope this guide will help you with how to order vegan at Pizza Hut!
You’ll be pleased to find that most of the crusts at Pizza Hut are vegan-friendly! The only one you’ll want to avoid is the stuffed crust (unless you’re lucky enough to be in the UK). Everything else is fair game:
Most crust flavors are not vegan, but the Butter Blend happens to be accidentally vegan! Otherwise, options in this category are limited:
When it comes to sauce, you have a few options. Go for classic, buffalo, or even bean sauce. The Bean sauce is for their taco pizza, and while that pizza ordered as-is is not vegan, the sauce is!
No veggie is off-limits! Enjoy an abundance of delicious vegetables on your pizza:
Note: These dressings are available if you’re dining in and purchasing the salad bar, but they may be available to add for take out by request.
Flavored crusts (other than the Buttery Blend, which does not contain butter), any desserts besides the fried apple pie or cinnamon sticks (order without icing), pasta dishes, or garlic knots (contain cheese).
Power up your pizza order with your own toppings! If you’re taking the pizza to go, you can spruce it up with your favorites at home. Here are a few ideas:
Yes, vegans can enjoy a meal at Pizza Hut by making a few simple swaps. For pizzas, most crusts are vegan. Simply choose your vegetable toppings and ask for no cheese. Some countries have entirely vegan pizza options with vegan meats and cheeses, but this is not currently available in the US.
In 2017 Pizza Hut trialed Violife in select locations in the UK. It is now a staple menu item throughout the nation as well as in Australia and Germany. However, there is still no vegan cheese option in the US.
Unfortunately, Beyond Meat pizzas are no longer available at Pizza Hut. They were tested out in 2020 but only for a limited time. Customers had the choice between the Beyond Italian Sausage Pizza and The Great Beyond Pizza.
Now that Pizza Hut has trialed Beyond Meat’s Italian Sausage, it’s only a matter of time before vegan cheese is also chosen. That’s the direction all the big fast-food pizza chains are heading, and Pizza Hut will have to step up its game sooner rather than later to stay ahead. But meanwhile, we can always write to, call, or contact the managers of any location to make our requests.
Requesting not only vegan cheese (wouldn’t Miyoko’s be amazing?), but also a few sides other than fries would be fantastic. A side salad, a selection of plant-based dips, or even one dessert would be most welcome.

In Canada it looks like (I believe) all the crusts have Whey Powder 🙁
That is so frustrating but thank you for bringing it to our attention! It looks like in Canada, the only vegan crust option is the frozen pan crust 🙁 But it looks like you’ll need to specify the frozen one since fresh contains whey powder.
Yes plant base cheese please some taste good,also beyond burger tastes so good alot like real cheeseburgers,I will try beyond sausage and send you the results of taste. Love pizza hut.
