Pizza Hut Vegan Options

Looking for simple, tasty vegan options at Pizza Hut? We break down what to order, how to customize your pizza, and which ingredients to double-check so you can enjoy a plant-based meal without the stress.

Vegan Pizza Crusts

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:

Hand Tossed
Original Pan
Thin & Crispy
Rectangular Crust

Vegan Crust Flavor

Most crust flavors are not vegan, but the Buttery Blend happens to be accidentally vegan! Otherwise, options in this category are limited:

No Crust Flavor (aka plain)
Buttery Blend (not the Garlic Buttery Blend—that one contains dairy)

Vegan Pizza Sauces

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!

Marinara
Buffalo

Vegan Vegetable Toppings

No veggie is off-limits! Enjoy an abundance of delicious vegetables on your pizza:

Banana Peppers
Chopped Garlic
Green Bell Pepper
Green Chili Peppers
Jalapeño Peppers
Lettuce
Mushrooms
Olives (green and black)
Red Onions
Roasted Spinach
Roma Tomatoes
Saurkraut
Sweet Pineapple

Vegan Sides

Breadsticks (order with no parmesan cheese or seasonings)
Hash browns
Lay’s Potato Chips
Wing Street Fries

Vegan Dips

BBQ Drizzle
Buffalo
Lemon Pepper (regional)
Spicy Asian (regional)
Ketchup

Desserts Without Dairy and Eggs

Apple Pie (regional)
Cinnamon Sticks (without icing)

Beverages

Aquafina Water
Pepsi Fountain Drinks (both diet and regular)

Vegan-Friendly Salad Dressings

Light Italian
Balsamic Viniagrette
Sun Dried Tomato Basil

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.

NOT Vegan at Pizza Hut

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). Also the bean sauce contains beef flavoring, so you may wish to avoid that particular condiment.

Add Your Own Toppings

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:

Dairy-Free Cheese – It goes without saying that if you want a cheesy pizza, you need to add your own cheese. Add some vegan cheese slices or shreds of Miyoko’s dairy-free mozzarella and pop the pizza back in the oven at home. You can broil it briefly to melt the added vegan cheese.
Pack with Veggies – Although Pizza Hut has a sufficient selection of veggies, your favorite might have missed the menu. Arm yourself with marinated artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, grilled asparagus, or even pickled vegetables.
Garnish with Greens – Fresh herbs and baby greens are fantastic for flavor and fundamental vitamins and minerals. If spinach doesn’t do it for you, bring in some sweet basil, spicy arugula, mellow microgreens, curly kale, or opt for oregano.
Add Vegan Meats – Vegan pepperoni is a classic but vegan sausage or even some vegan bacon bits on top would be delish!

Help Create a More Compassionate Pizza Hut

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 artisan vegan cheese 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.
