Ready to spice up pizza night? Daiya, the brand that cracked the code on dairy-free cheese, is excited to announce the launch of its new Diavola pizza, available exclusively in Canada. This launch marks a first to market for dairy and gluten-free spicy pizzas and is crafted for those who crave bold flavors and a fiery kick.
Inspired by the traditional Diavola pizza – which translates to “of the devil” in Italian – Daiya’s version combines plant-based salami-flavored slices, red jalapeños, red onions, chili flakes, and Daiya’s dairy-free Mozzarella made with the proprietary Daiya Oat Cream™ blend, all atop a light crispy gluten-free crust.
Meeting the Growing Demand for Bold Flavors
With spicy food continuing to grow in popularity – 84% of consumers enjoy spicy dishes, and 1 in 3 are eager to try new levels of heat – Daiya’s Diavola pizza meets this demand while offering the dairy and gluten free quality the brand is known for. Canadians are increasingly seeking at-home dining experiences that feel like a restaurant indulgence, and Daiya’s Diavola pizza brings both the taste and novelty to elevate pizza night.
“Our new Diavola pizza is all about breaking through taste skepticism in plant-based eating,” shared John Kelly, Chief Marketing Officer at Daiya. “We’re proud to offer a pizza that brings bold, satisfying flavors to even the most discerning pizza lovers. With a rich, melty dairy-free Mozzarella and an improved gluten-free crust, Diavola is a delicious answer to the call for more exciting, dairy and gluten-free choices that don’t compromise on quality or taste.”
A Breakthrough Moment for Daiya’s Pizza Line
The Diavola pizza is part of Daiya’s enhanced pizza line, produced entirely in-house at the new, state-of-the-art facility in British Columbia. Following Daiya’s multi-million-dollar investment in this facility, the brand has gained complete control over the quality and consistency of every component, from the gluten-free crust to the Daiya Oat Cream™ blend Mozzarella. This line also features fan favorites like Meatless Pepperoni and Supreme pizzas, each designed to make plant-based eating indulgent and accessible.
