Shakey’s Pizza Asia Ventures Inc., a leading full-service restaurant chain in the Philippines, launched a 100-percent plant-based pizza.
Shakey’s said in a disclosure to the stock exchange Monday the pizza, called the Goood Taco Pizza, is part of the company’s strategy to expand its plant-based product line and widen its healthy selections.
“We launched the new Goood Taco Pizza to serve as the centerpiece of our growing plant-based product line. Shakey’s is well-known for pizza, and since the beginning of our journey in plant-based, we’ve been aiming to develop a great-tasting vegan pizza for our guests,” Shakey’s president and chief executive Vicente Gregorio said.
The pizza is made with 100-percent plant-based ground “meat” and dairy-free cheese. The full ‘Goood’ menu also makes use of 100 percent plant-based meat alternatives.
For this new product, Shakey’s teamed up with unMEAT, the pioneer large-scale meat alternatives brand by affiliate company Century Pacific Food Inc., one of the leading branded food manufacturers in the country and sister company of Shakey’s.
