# Little Caesars Adds Impossible Foods’ Meatless Sausage to Menu

## Pizza Pizza

Impossible Foods' meatless burgers are already cropping up on [menus](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/burger-king-debuts-meatless-whopper>) across the nation. Now, the company has announced its second product — meatless sausage — as well as the fast food partner helping test it out: [Little Caesars](<https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/20/business/little-caesars-impossible-pizza/index.html>).

On Monday, the pizza chain announced plans to begin offering a pizza topped with Impossible Foods' meatless sausage in Florida, New Mexico, and Washington state — yet another sign plant-based meat may be breaking through to the mainstream.

## Sausage Party

According to Ed Gleich, Little Caesars' chief innovation officer, the company has been working with Impossible on the development of a new menu item since October.

Initially, the plan was to create a pizza featuring Impossible's fake beef, but when Little Caesars told the company its customers preferred sausage to ground beef, the food startup responded by creating an entirely new product: Impossible Sausage.

"Normally companies want to sell you the product they have," Gleich [told *CNN Business*](<https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/20/business/little-caesars-impossible-pizza/index.html>), "not a product they've got to get out and put some R&D time in, and put resources against and develop."

## Starting Small

Little Caesars plans to test the Impossible Supreme pizza in the three states for about four weeks.

If those tests go as well as Burger King's [limited trials](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/burger-king-meatless-impossible-whoppers>) of the Impossible Whopper, it might not be long before the budget pizza chain follows in BK's footsteps and rolls the fake-meat offering out [nationwide](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/burger-king-meatless-impossible-whoppers>).
