As the demand for vegan alternatives in restaurants grows and grows, the good news is that Pizza Hut has said it's trialling Violife vegan cheese on its pizzas.
The bad news: so far, you'll only be able to find it in five branches around the UK, and for a very limited time.
The trial was confirmed by a Pizza Hut spokesperson to begin in October, and will feature in its Bluewater, Canterbury, Chatham, Crawley and Thanet stores. They said however that the trial would only last for just over a month, spanning from October 11 to November 26.
The Daily Mail and social media users have pointed out that the trial stores might have been better chosen in places with large vegan communities, like London, Glasgow, Bristol and Manchester, rather than small towns in the south of England.
Despite the limited time period and availability, Twitter is very excited about the new place vegans can eat:
Good on Pizza Hut for expanding its menu - this is an overdue step behind restaurants like Zizzi who have pizzas made with vegan cheese Mozzarisella and other alternatives offered permanently in all its stores. Wetherspoons have offered a separate veggie and vegan menu for a while now, while other chain restaurants like the Handmade Burger Co. and Prezzo also have vegan additions to their menus. The Vegan Society website lists Wagamama, Wahaca, Pret and Yo! Sushi among other places where you can find 'a large selection' of meat- and dairy-free meals.
Plenty of other brands have been focusing on bringing out vegan-friendly products too: this week will see the launch of vegan almond milk Baileys in time for Christmas, and Ben & Jerry's non-dairy ice creams have been released in the UK in three flavours.
Hopefully the trial will go down well, and we can add Pizza Hut to the permanent list of places we can stuff our faces with delicious cruelty free junk food.
