I wonder how this plays out.

As noted sometimes the staff can't eat it, heck sometimes you might not want to eat it. That has to happen pretty often.

I worked at a company with a particularly sensitive HR team who would host pizza parties now and then, but they'd only order "weird" pizzas and I guess they liked it, but they were quite miffed when people stopped coming / didn't want to eat some pizza with some kind of fake cheese and unrecognizable veggies.

They were really miffed when my boss ordered our team pizza on their pizza day too, suddenly very concerned about waste...

What I want to know is what ghastly pizza establishment serves fake cheese and what are mystery veggies?

Most of them, I imagine, in order to accommodate vegan customers. Some advertise it louder than others.

There's quite a variety out there. I've seen broccoli, sundried tomato, artichoke, spinach....

I think the larger reason is that fake cheese is cheaper.

In parts of Europe restaurants are allowed to sell it as cheese. That isn't true for frozen supermarket pizza, where regulations force to either declare it as fake cheese or use real one.

Most restaurants use fake cheese out of price concerns.
