BEYOND MEAT® AND PIZZA HUT PARTNER TO DELIVER ICONIC NEW PIZZA RANGE TO U.K. CUSTOMERS

Available via Pizza Hut Delivery for a limited time only, Beyond Meat Pizzas bring delicious and sustainable plant-based protein toppings to the iconic Pizza Hut recipe, responding to consumer demand for more plant-based products

One lucky customer received a surprise delivery of Pizza Hut’s brand-new Beyond Meat Pizza from British TV personality Ryan Thomas

London, November 10, 2020 - Beyond Meat, Inc., a leader in plant-based meat, and Pizza Hut today announced the exciting launch of Beyond Meat® Pizzas in the U.K. Designed to appeal to meat lovers and vegetarians alike, the new plant-based protein pizza toppings provide fans with even more delicious and sustainable options, and are available now for a limited time only at select Pizza Hut Delivery locations in London, Liverpool and Luton, while supplies last.

The brand-new partnership makes Pizza Hut the first national pizza chain in the U.K. to offer customers Beyond Meat toppings. The two iconic brands have come together to create several new pizza offerings that feature Beyond Meat’s range of new plant-based protein toppings: Beyond Italian Style Sausage, Beyond Pork™ Crumbles and Beyond Beef™ Crumbles. These toppings have been carefully developed to offer the same taste and flavour profile as Pizza Hut’s traditional meat toppings, making them the perfect option for carnivores and flexitarians who want the juicy, meaty experience they know and love, with the benefits of plant-based protein.

The innovative new line-up of Beyond Meat Pizzas will include plant-based twists to popular
Pizza Hut favourites as well as brand new flavour combinations:
● Beyond Three-Meat Supreme: fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese topped with
plant-based Beyond Italian Style Sausage, Beyond Pork Crumbles, Beyond Beef
Crumbles, peppers, mushrooms and red onions.
● Beyond Italian Style Sausage Supreme: fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese topped with plant-based Beyond Italian Style Sausage, peppers, mushrooms and red onions.
● Beyond Beef Sizzler: fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese topped with plantbased Beyond Beef Crumbles, red onion, jalapeños and green chillies.
● Beyond Pork & Sweet Chilli: plant-based Beyond Pork Crumbles, mozzarella cheese, garlic, mushroom and red peppers on top of a sweet chilli sauce base.
● Beyond Italian Style Sausage Tear & Share Topper: mozzarella cheese and garlic folded pizza topped with plant-based Beyond Italian Style Sausage and cut into strips.

The pizza toppings were developed in response to the growing customer demand for more plant-based options. Both Pizza Hut and Beyond Meat recognise the importance and benefits of having more diverse protein options, and the two companies have come together to develop a whole range of new pizzas for customers to enjoy.

To celebrate the partnership, British TV personality Ryan Thomas rode an electric scooter to deliver the limited-edition product to Pizza Hut’s most loyal customer in Islington, North London. The surprised customer received Pizza Hut’s Beyond Three-Meat Supreme, which sees the iconic Pizza Hut dough base topped with Beyond Italian Style Sausage, Beyond Pork Crumbles, Beyond Beef Crumbles and fresh vegetables – offering plant-based deliciousness that delivers the authentic Pizza Hut taste fans crave.

Ethan Brown, Founder & CEO at Beyond Meat said, “Our partnership with Pizza Hut is a category first and together we will continue to raise the bar on game changing product innovations. We’re thrilled to be on this journey with Pizza Hut that enables us to further increase access to delicious, better-for-you plant-based meat as we continue to expand our partnership with Yum! Brands.”

Regina Borda, Managing Director at Pizza Hut Europe said, "We are delighted to be the first pizza chain to bring Beyond Meat toppings to the U.K. We are constantly challenging ourselves to bring new innovations to our customers, and the Beyond Meat Pizzas are a great option for those looking to try plant-based protein without sacrificing the iconic flavour and texture of our traditional pizzas. Our consumers’ preferences are of utmost importance to us, and Beyond Meat’s commitment to leading the category in product innovation, high-quality ingredients and accessibility made them the ideal partner for this historic launch.”

This landmark announcement comes as part of a broader launch between the two brands that is anchored in delivering mouthwatering and sustainable cutting-edge innovations to pizza lovers in the U.K. and beyond. Starting today, fans in the United States will also be able to enjoy Beyond Pan Pizzas at Pizza Hut restaurants nationwide for a limited time while supplies last.
