Dr Oetker's Chicago Town delivers vegan pizza

With the meat-free market set to reach £658m by 2021, Dr Oetker Professional has added a plant-based pizza to their Chicago Town takeaway range, supporting operators during Veganuary and beyond.

The Chicago Town Stuffed Crust Sticky BBQ Jackfruit Pizza, topped with dairy-free mozzarella, will enable operators to start profiting from the growing demand for vegan ‘dirty' food.

Richard Cooper, senior brand manager, for Dr Oetker Professional UK, said: "With 22 million people in the UK now following a flexitarian diet, the appeal of plant-based dishes is soaring and many consumers are on the lookout for plant-based versions of their favourite comfort foods from pizza to mac ‘n' cheese.

"Pizza is one of the top three dishes to enjoy out-of-home and by serving up a plant-based version, operators can significantly increase the appeal of their menu, giving everyone the chance to enjoy a slice of pizza."
