PPG Paints Arena Vegan Options 2024 (Pittsburgh Penguins)

Pittsburgh Penguins Vegan Options

An attempt to contact PPG Paints Arena, home of the Pittsburgh Penguins, to find out the vegan options are available has unfortunately gone unanswered thus far. 

We’ll keep reaching out, but in the meantime, we have provided you with the policies you may need to know if you’re thinking about bringing your own food or drinks into the stadium. We also list their bag policies since these tend to go hand in hand. 

Should you choose to eat before or after your event, we have given you a few vegan restaurant options towards the bottom of the guide.


Vegan Options at PPG Paints Arena


We contacted PPG Paints Arena to ask what their options are for the 2023-2024 season. Their concessions page on the website doesn’t show any food items they have let alone any vegan ones so we’re hoping we can get some answers for you. 

If you happen to visit and learn of any before we hear back, please let me knowOpens in a new tab.!

ShadoBeni

1534 Brighton Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15212Opens in a new tab.

A 100% Trinidadian vegan cuisine restaurant about 2 1/2 miles from the arena. The reviews are a perfect 5 out of 5–that definitely says something. 

FreshiiOpens in a new tab.

Union Trust Building, 501 Grant St, Pittsburgh, PA 15219Opens in a new tab.

We normally like to keep 100% vegan restaurants in this section; however, this Freshii location not only has a great list of vegan ingredients you can create a bowl or salad with but it’s less than a 1/2 mile from the arena.
