The soy cheese we carried had casein (an animal protein) so our vegan guests and those with dairy allergies still weren\u2019t able to consume it. When we found Daiya, the vegan cheese in stores now, we knew we had a great product that all of our guests could enjoy. If you prefer to order soy cheese, it is available at some locations so please check with the store manager.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, see:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zpizza.com\/menu#selectStore\">http:\/\/www.zpizza.com\/menu#selectStore<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For information about more restaurants, see:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrg.org\/fastfoodinfo.php\">http:\/\/www.vrg.org\/fastfoodinfo.php<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrg.org\/restaurant\/index.php\">http:\/\/www.vrg.org\/restaurant\/index.php<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>The contents of this posting, our website, and our other publications, including Vegetarian Journal, are not intended to provide personal medical advice.
