In a groundbreaking move that's reshaping the pizza delivery landscape, Salvatore has unveiled its comprehensive plant-based menu, featuring innovative dairy-free cheese alternatives and an array of creative vegetable toppings. The nationwide rollout on August 22, 2025, marks a significant milestone in the company's commitment to inclusive dining options.

This strategic expansion responds to the surging demand for vegetarian and vegan options across Canada, positioning Salvatore as a leader in plant-based pizza innovation while maintaining the authentic flavors that customers have come to love.

THE PLANT-BASED REVOLUTION

The new plant-based menu represents months of culinary research and development, with Salvatore's team of expert chefs working tirelessly to create dairy-free cheese alternatives that deliver the same stretchy, melty satisfaction as traditional mozzarella. The result is a proprietary blend of cashew and coconut-based cheese that browns beautifully and provides that signature pizza pull customers crave.

"We didn't want to simply offer a vegan option," explains Salvatore's Head of Culinary Innovation. "We wanted to create pizzas that would make anyone—regardless of dietary preferences—excited to order. The plant-based menu isn't just for vegans; it's for anyone who appreciates bold flavors and innovative ingredients."

INNOVATIVE VEGETABLE TOPPINGS

Beyond the revolutionary cheese, the plant-based menu showcases an impressive array of vegetable toppings that go far beyond the standard mushrooms and peppers. Salvatore has introduced roasted cauliflower florets with a smoky char, caramelized Brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze, and marinated artichoke hearts that add Mediterranean flair.

The menu features signature combinations like the "Green Machine" with pesto base, spinach, broccoli, and zucchini ribbons, and the "Smoky BBQ Veggie" topped with BBQ-glazed jackfruit, red onions, and cilantro. Each pizza is designed to deliver complex flavor profiles that satisfy even the most discerning palates.

CUSTOMER RESPONSE EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS

Since the August 22nd launch, customer response has been overwhelmingly positive, with plant-based orders accounting for 28% of all Salvatore deliveries in the first week alone. Social media has been flooded with enthusiastic reviews, with customers praising both the taste and the generous portions of fresh vegetables.

"I'm not even vegan, but I ordered the Mediterranean Harvest out of curiosity, and it's become my new favorite," shares Toronto customer Jennifer Martinez. "The dairy-free cheese is incredible—you honestly can't tell the difference. And the vegetables are so fresh and flavorful. I've already ordered it three times this week."

SUSTAINABILITY AND SOURCING

The plant-based menu aligns with Salvatore's broader commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. All vegetables are sourced from local Canadian farms whenever possible, reducing transportation emissions and supporting regional agriculture. The dairy-free cheese is produced in partnership with a Canadian plant-based food manufacturer, creating jobs and keeping production domestic.

"This isn't just about offering more menu options," emphasizes Salvatore's Director of Sustainability. "It's about reducing our environmental footprint while delivering exceptional food. Plant-based pizzas require significantly less water and produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional meat-heavy options. Every plant-based pizza ordered makes a positive impact."

The packaging for plant-based pizzas also features 100% compostable materials, including boxes made from recycled cardboard and plant-based inks. This comprehensive approach to sustainability has resonated strongly with environmentally conscious consumers across Canada.

NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS

The plant-based menu offers significant nutritional advantages, with pizzas typically containing 30-40% fewer calories and 50% less saturated fat compared to traditional meat and cheese pizzas. The abundance of vegetables provides essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber, making these options both delicious and nutritious.

Salvatore has partnered with registered dietitians to ensure each plant-based pizza delivers balanced nutrition. The dairy-free cheese is fortified with calcium and vitamin B12, addressing common concerns about plant-based diets. Detailed nutritional information is available on the Salvatore website and mobile app, allowing customers to make informed choices.

"We wanted to create pizzas that not only taste amazing but also support overall health and wellness," notes Salvatore's nutrition consultant. "The plant-based menu proves that you don't have to sacrifice flavor or satisfaction to eat healthier. These pizzas are packed with nutrients and absolutely delicious."

CUSTOMIZATION AND FLEXIBILITY

One of the most popular features of the new plant-based menu is the extensive customization options. Customers can build their own pizzas by selecting from over 20 different vegetable toppings, multiple sauce options including traditional tomato, pesto, olive oil and garlic, and BBQ, plus the choice of dairy-free cheese or no cheese at all.

The Salvatore mobile app has been updated with a user-friendly interface that makes customizing plant-based pizzas simple and intuitive. Visual representations of each topping help customers visualize their creations, and the app provides real-time nutritional calculations as ingredients are added or removed.

The success of the plant-based menu launch has exceeded all projections, and Salvatore is already planning expansions. Future additions will include plant-based protein options such as seasoned tofu crumbles, tempeh bacon, and plant-based sausage, providing even more variety for customers seeking hearty, protein-rich pizzas.

Salvatore is also exploring partnerships with innovative food technology companies to develop next-generation plant-based ingredients. Research and development teams are working on new cheese varieties, including aged plant-based parmesan and smoked gouda alternatives, that will further enhance the menu offerings.

"This is just the beginning," declares Salvatore's CEO. "The plant-based menu represents our vision for the future of pizza delivery—inclusive, sustainable, and absolutely delicious. We're committed to continuous innovation and expanding options for all our customers, regardless of their dietary preferences or restrictions."
