Vegan Society Campaign: Pizza Express Menu (MEAT-FREE ENGLAND BY 2060)

Pizza Express Campaign Vegan Option (MEAT-FREE ENGLAND BY 2060)
Hello There,
This is just a short video encouraging all vegans and vegetarians to encourage Pizza Express to display a vegan option on their menus. The Vegan Society is currently running a campaign urging all vegans and those that want to help to email and ask if they could have a vegan section of their menu. Better labelling of vegan products would help Pizza Express and all vegans alike.
Pizza Express has been inundated with hundreds of emails and it would be great if this could continue. Please get involved and send an email to Pizza Express today.

Thankyou.




Dear Pizza Express,

I am a potential Pizza Express customer. I am vegan and I would buy from you if there was a good vegan main course option clearly marked on your standard menu.

Vegans enjoy fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, peas, lentils, grains, mushrooms, herbs and spices, and foods made from these, such as cheese-free vegetable pizza and vegan chocolate cake. Vegans do not eat anything taken from animals: no meat (including poultry, fish and seafood), dairy, eggs, honey, etc.

I am pleased to have learned that your pizza bases, tomato sauce and pan oil are already suitable for vegans, and that you will make vegan pizza to a special order. But most of your potential customers will not know those facts - and most people are very uncomfortable about having to make a special order.

So, please can you put a vegan, cheese-free pizza on to your standard menu? Or offer a pizza with mozzarella-style melting dairy-free vegan "cheese" which is widely available, reasonably priced and has a shelf life of several months. For further details please contact The Vegan Society: info@vegansociety.com

Please could you also offer a vegan salad dressing, such as a simple vinaigrette made from olive oil, vegan-suitable mustard, vegan-suitable vinegar and sugar?

Good vegan food is tasty, exciting and nutritious, and so appeals to almost any customer. This includes vegans, other vegetarians, healthy eaters, people following many religious diets, and people seeking ethical and planet-friendly food. Groups with just one vegan will also seek a place where they can enjoy a meal together.

If you need advice, please contact Nigel Winter, the CEO of The Vegan Society (phone 0121 523 1730 or email info@vegansociety.com) - who is a trained chef himself.

I would be grateful if you could let me know your thoughts on this. I look forward to becoming your customer, if you do offer good and clearly labelled vegan options on your standard menu in the future.

Yours

(Your name)

such a shame it didnt win! but we will indeed carry on pushing forr a vegan pizza!

[TSM9356]

I have written at least 6 letters to pizza express, but no replies as yet! We need to keep up the pressure and force a vegan option on the menu. It will come, but will take time.

Carlsbergahead, I think you need to evaluate why you are the saying these things. Why do you want to be nasty to vegan? I can understand if you are a teenager getting a kick out of putting people down, but you need to realise we are only doing this for others benefit. How is stopping animal abuse a bad thing?

why do you want to eat in a restaurant that sells halal meat if you're vegan?

The vegan pizza in the Pizza Express vote lost out to one translated as 'Pizza to die for' - very appropriate as poor pigs will have to die in order for them to top it with pancetta :-(

@carlsbergahead I, for one, emailed them to encourage them to do this and promised to return the favour by taking all my friends to their restaurants instead of the 'competitors'. They replied with a very encouraging response. They said that if we took along vegan cheese, they would use that instead."

Sorry if there's been a misunderstanding.

[marcluc1988]

@carlsbergahead I t5hink you've misunderstood. Pizza Hut has been chosen exactly because of the reason you gave. It's not a case of 'have a go a them'. Exactly the opposite. "Since you're the most favourable and accomodating, please would you go one step further and do this for vegans and vegans are likely to become faithful customers."
