MOD Pizza Launches Vegan Italian Sausage At All 500+ Locations
MOD Pizza, the fast-casual pizza chain with over 500 locations, has just announced they’ve developed a plant-based Italian sausage and will be launching it at every location beginning on August 31st.
Developed exclusively with Plantly – a chef-created, plant-based food and beverage brand – the plant-based sausage is a classic spiced Italian-style crumble made with only real, high-quality ingredients including U.S. grown non-GMO pea protein, filtered water, expeller-pressed canola oil, and seasoned with fennel, oregano, and thyme.
With 12 grams of protein per serving, the plant-based sausage contains no artificial ingredients, fillers, sweeteners, preservatives, flavors, or colorings, and is vegan, gluten-friendly and soy free – offering flexitarian customers a delicious and craveable meatless version of one of MOD’s most popular topping.
“We’ve spent the past two years methodically testing plant-based proteins and simply put, we found Plantly’s Italian plant-based sausage to be completely craveable and far superior in both taste and quality – and were immediately drawn to the real ingredient list,” said Mark Shambura, Chief Marketing Officer of MOD. “We’re excited to bring our customers a product that is not only delicious, but an easy swap or add, if they want to go meatless or simply have more flexible choices.”
To welcome its newest menu topping, MOD is celebrating with “Plant Your Pizza Day” on August 31st with a special “Plant One, Get One” offer. To take advantage of this one-day offer, customers simply need to order in-restaurant with a friend – and when one goes meatless with MOD’s new plant-based protein, the other pizza is free!
There are 8 MOD Pizza locations in Seattle and over 20 in Washington State. You can find the MOD closest to you by using their location finder, here.
