Okay, I'm not Vegan or Vegetarian. I don't even really care about being healthy. But, Slice has really good pizza. It's all organic and really fresh and delicious. I had a slice of the barbeque chicken pizza. So freakin good, and filling (which 'healthy' food usually isn't). Service was good, the guy answered all of my friends weird health-nut questions.
The only thing is it's a hole in the wall (an adorable hole in the wall), the "slice" of pizza is cut up into weird triangle pieces, and it's a tad pricey. But, besides that I love this place.
I just got back from NY on a "Pizza Tasting" trip. I read about this place in a magazine called "PMQ". They have a pretty interesting concept, and seem like motivated owners. This was a must see for me, however I am not vegan, vegetarian or close to any diet needs in that sort. So on to my experience:
-Tiny, little place, about seat for 8-10 people only. There were three guys working, the server was nice and polite. Is it normal though in NY to serve water without ice? Not a big deal but its kind of warm and not that good.
-really small, so basic decor but better than some i saw out there.
- We tried four different slices- I had a spicy bbq chicken slice, we had a bruschetta slice, a sausage slice and a pesto slice.
-crust was like a cracker, not sure if thats because of the gluten free, as the flavor was dissapointind as well of the crust. Maybe it's the organic and gluten free way.
- my bbq spicy chicken was a pate, never had that before so that was interesting. It actually tasted like humus rather than chicken. Pretty bland. The bruschetta, ehh, nothing to great. the other two were decent though. The pesto sauce did taste as it might have been home made, it was good. I also liked the sausage one too. So two out of the four weren't bad.
- the price, yes it wasn't cheap, about $6 a slice, nowhere is cheap these days anyways. Cali isn't cheap, so the expensive price was ok with me, since they were offering a specialty type of food.
-cute plates though. two stars because this industry is about taste and quality. You girls have a cool concept, motivated ideas, I like your pizza kit ideas, this all can work. hire a chef, you are very educated Cornell, with business and communication degrees, i think. You guys will suceed, just adjust some things.
- overall on this place is that if I was hosting a cocktail party at my house, all of these could be easily duplicated.
however, I do think in a city like Berkley, you would do well. Definately a "target market" kind of idea
Wow, I was really impressed with Slice, The Perfect Food. I live about a block from the restaurant, and honestly, have walked by a million times without giving it a second thought. I figured that "healthy pizza" wouldn't be something too tasty... Man, I was wrong!
I was motivated to try Slice, as I have been trying to eat much more healthfully as of late, and have gotten into trying multitudes of "health food" to see whats out there that's truly tasty.
My boyfriend and I decided to order out from Slice last night. I was looking for something without meat, that would be tasty and satisfying. We decided on the Radha Pizza (honey whole wheat crust, organic hummus, kalamata olives, fresh bruschetta topping). Man, was this good. Very fresh ingredients, delicious taste, and the honey whole wheat dough was really good.
I loved it, my boyfriend loved it, we are excited to try more types of pizza from Slice, The Perfect Food! The pizza's are a bit on the pricey side, but the pie was much larger than we had predicted. Our $26 pie was enough for dinner with leftovers for lunch. 3-4 people could definitely share one pie. This is now one of my favorite order-in (and possible go to) places on the UES. I highly recommend giving it a shot, you'll likely be impressed.
i have not been to this location, but a location just opened in my neighborhood in the west village (hudson street). THIS PIZZA IS TERRIBLE!!!!
first off, the dough/crust tastes like nothing. they forgot to season it.
it was more like a tasteless chip with bad sauce and tasteless cheese added to it.
i wanted this place to last, but it's obvious that it will not. the pizza is just plane old BAD. it's as if the people making it don't have taste buds.
upsetting.
This place is a dream come true, my grail! The food is first and foremost healthy so you can eat it and just enjoy and savour the amazing taste without conscience or guilt. Super relaxed and a perfect place to kick back with good friends. V
The service is friendly and very responsive to any food allergies. I ordered a simple rice-crust pizza with tomato sauce and part-skim mozzarella. The cheese and sauce were good, but the thin crust (which is made from rice flour and xanthan gum) was disappointing. It's too dense, neither chewy nor crisp, and lacks taste (unlike the delicious crust from Risotteria). I understand that Rice is working on a new recipe for its crust; so maybe the pizza will be better in the future.
This spot just kicks A**!!!! I've been eating there since its opening a few years ago and have NEVER had an tasteless slice. Each pizza option is like a different main course. Not just the usual dough, sauce, cheese and random toppings... Plus, you can eat like a pig and not feel guilty! When can you do THAT while eating normal pizza???
- My favorite slice is "The Bomb" = Honey whole-wheat crust, free-range chicken tikka-masala and some healthy/part skim mozzarella... I request fresh tomatoes on top :) The organic wine & beer is a great addition to this little niche.
-Great, comfy decor. The staff are helpful and welcoming. The only little issue is that they are located on the Upper East Side, not close to me. They did say that they should be opening one up in the West Village in October or November. Can't wait.... Close to work. :)
It is ok. As far as eating something gluten free goes, it is good. It does not compare to "real" pizza when it comes to taste though. It is also a little on the pricey side.
Got the master sausage and the professional BBQ chicken. It was drier than I had imagined but still tasty. I would try a slice of the channa masala one next time for more sauce. A pie is pricey; for this combo, $25. At least they let us split a pie into 2 flavors. A pie is easily shared between 3 people. Satisfying, probably more so if you eat-in.
Well, the pizza was certainly a deity-send for the gluten intolerant. I don't know of any other place where you can personalize your own rice-crust pie. They may exist, I'm sure, but this place does it just fine. The pizza was flavorful and the crust fooled my gluten-digesting digestive track.
The downside to the pizza is that, yeah, it's the upper east side, but seriously? $40 for pizza that has 2 toppings and a couple drinks? It's enough to want to make me learn how to bake.
I am excited by the fact they sell Gus. Delicious, non saccharine sodas. Also, gluten free beer of the Redbridge variety.
This place is TINY, and as the woman sitting next to me said as I squeezed in between the tables, "you have to be tiny to eat here." Now, yeah, I'm no string bean, but it's a tight fit for anyone. Fortunately, they deliver and have take out.
The service was what you'd expect from a tiny pizza parlor. Good, not great (which is fine) but I would like some napkins next time.
The gluten free crust satisfies even gluten lovers! Yes! It is great to eat out and be able to order a pizza and share it with my friends without them making a funny face and thinking the taste is off.
I have eaten here a few times and tried a few different pizzas. All are really tastey. The crust is really thin and sort of crackery. Therefore, it doesn't fill you up the way a deep dish pizza does. Don't worry about ordering too much pizza...you will eat it!
This place makes a good Vegan pizza! I ordered my pizza with Daiya Vegan Cheese and it was so good. The cheese melted like real cheese, and even tasted close to the real thing. My bf tried it too and he concurred, he even talked about it days later. We also ordered a salad ...carrot ginger dressing... wow! Highly recommended!!!
I think its delicious. The rice crust (gluten free) emulated a classic New York thin crust pizza very well. it's crispy in all of the right places. The toppings are good too. I enjoyed the barbeque chicken, and the onions- though not really carmelized were a nice compliment. Good sauce.
As for dining in, it's a very small place. And there's not a lot of seating, so you'll likely be cramped in there.
Though the pizza was good, for the price, it was very very expensive. You get one rectangle of pizza- perhaps half the size of an average NYC pizza, for upwards of 30 bucks. Yes the ingredients are organic, and the pizzas are good, but it's still pricy. (we spent well over 30 because we had the rice crust too).
Shhhh dont tell anyone. I had vegan pizza and loved it!!! I dunno what it was! Maybe it was the great friends I got to enjoy my pizza with, but I cant believe I ate something called vegan and was so happy to be eating it. Loved it enough to have the leftovers the next day. And ive always been a chronic hater of all things vegan, so this was somewhat of a miracle for me.
Ok, i did pick the sundried tomatos off-- so at least I know im still me. :)
Definitely recommend. Yum!
Headline: Healthy pizza on the UES!
But let's call it what it is, shall we? Updated Headline: Healthy *flatbread* on the UES. And being that, it's really really good. This pizza is cut into fours like an appetizer and served to me on a porcelain plate that I might break if I'm not careful. A typical NYC slice is not served but rather thrown down on a greasy paper plate with little care. Also, the pizza here is not really quick and cheap as they make it fresh for you...which is definitely a bonus versus some grimy slice elsewhere that's been sitting out for who knows how long. Just be prepared, it does take like 10-15 minutes. But you can chill out and wait.
I guess they call it "Slice" because each slice they make fresh for you however you'd like - custom made. You don't really order pies here. The honey wheat dough is very tasty and it's organic and gourmet and all that jazz.. Plus there's lots of interesting options that involve pesto, hummus, veggies, chicken sausage, and more. I read that they even do parties where you can have kids make their own organic healthy pizza, which I think is a pretty cool thing. But knowing me and my sweet maternal ways, I'd push the germy kids aside and want to learn how to make healthy pizza by myself. Don't mess with my pizza. I will slice you.
A cute little UES gem! Tiny -- maybe 10 seats in the whole place -- but cute. The menu is all organic and they have organic wines, too. Mon-Wed they offer a $20 wine and pizza pairing.
The pizza are all made with whole wheat dough, and are thin crust. The toppings are unconventional - chana masala, tikka masala, bruschetta, hummus etc... -- but tasty. You can either order a pie (also unconventional, it's rectangular) or by slice. They slice each slice into four smaller pieces, so they're perfect for sharing.
We ordered four slices and shared them among the two of us. We also split the goat cheese salad with carrot ginger dressing. Carrot ginger and goat cheese = tasty! Two glasses of organic wine later, it was the perfect meal.
They also have lots of options for the lactose-free, the vegans and the gluten-free. Where else can you say that?
Plus, they have games and children's books for families or lallygaggers.
A great and cute place either for a drop in or take out. I recommend!
I visited Slice on Saturday night, August 8th, 2009. I ordered a gluten-free pie with fresh basil and the new Daiya (vegan) cheese.
The crust: the gluten-free rice crust was like eating toasted cardboard. It was thick and very dense. Somewhat chewy, but not in a good way. Amy's frozen pizza with rice crust is way, way better. I have also had gluten-free crusts at several raw vegan restaurants that made this crust embarassingly terrible.
Sauce:
The pie had no sauce. Everything was completely dry. I asked for some extra sauce on the side. I was given some cold, unexciting, rather tasteless marinara sauce.
The Basil:
The "fresh basil" was in no way fresh. I am a huge basil fan, and eat it as fresh as possible (preferably picked moments before from the plant growing on my windowsill). This basil was tasteless.
The cheese:
The Daiya cheese was pretty good. It was the best element of the pie. I was not blown away by it however, and actually somewhat underwhelemed after reading glowing reviews of it on several vegan blogs. I would say it is better than the other vegan cheeses, but it is not that amazing. A non-vegan would probably not like it. A vegan might be pleased with it.
The price:
Wow, this terrible pizza cost me $32 plus tip. So, $38 for cardboard crust, no sauce, tasteless basil and just ok (store-bought) cheese.
This restaurant really nickel-and-dimes you, adding subpar ingredients at high, high prices. All with a smile and a cute decor.
There are some things on the menu that looked appetizing. It's possible that their spelt crust is better. However, if this place believes the rice crust I was served is edible, I don't need to taste anything else.
Besides, I have eaten excellent raw, gluten-free crusts that could easily be adapted to a cooked pizza. And, there is always Amy's frozen pizza, which surpassed this pie in all elements - and costs about 1/4th of the price.
The bottom line: if you are looking for a gluten-free vegan pizza, skip Slice.
Slice, the self-declared "Perfect Food," is far from it.
*************************
Edit: The day after this terrible pizza experience, I decided to try Pala Pizza for a gluten-free-vegan pie. It was incredible. Their gluten-free crust is better than most "normal" gluten crusts I have tasted. And, the pie cost much less than the terrible Slice pie. ($20 at Pala. $32 at Slice.)
After tasting "the real deal" at Pala, Slice's offering looks even worse. I will ammend my closing comment - if you want gluten free vegan pizza, skip Slice and head to Pala Pizza.
It's awesome! I just feel like it's not really pizza. It's like pizza's healthy best friend, but it's just not really pizza. Here's what you need to know about this place:
1. You have to get this pizza, and eat it there. It gets cold FAST. Why? Because it's not really pizza. It's kind of better than pizza though.
2. You have to try all the pizzas you can to figure out which ones you like, because they're all good.
3. It's cut up all weird, and it's hard to eat. It comes out like a pizza tapas almost, which again, makes it not quite pizza, and almost better.
I miss this place tons, because I don't live uptown anymore, but if I did, I'd be there in a jiffy!
Miss you lots Slice, and your "rice parmesean" :(
The concept and idea of this place is great - all organic ingredients, the "slice" of pizza is cut up into smaller slices, lots of topping options, and they don't skimp on the toppings - but I didn't think this place was all that great. It was good, but not a must try.
I didn't think the sauces were anything special. I sort of felt like I could have made the same pizza at home if I had the same ingredients.
I guess if you're into the whole organic craze, this place is worth checking out b/c I don't know how many pizza places there are in New York are 100% organic.
But the staff here are super nice!! I would have given this place 2.5 stars, but the extra 0.5 star is for the people who work here.
After being in the Hunter area for a couple years I had declared it a pizza dead zone...no good quality pizza in a nearby radius pretty much removed it from my radar when lunch time rolls around. So on my way to another place on second avenue I happen to notice this tiny place which has pizza (?!). Something about the place, the amount of people, the size...the mention of organic made me feel like I needed to try it.
I went in and the people were really chill and laid back. One guy quickly gave me a menu because they write their pizza all over the walls and let me know that I can customize it anyway I want (me likes).
I ended up ordering the Intermediate slice which had chicken, mozzarella blah blah blah along with the simpleton which had goat cheese, basil and a very light layer of sauce. The slices were expensive but Armin L pays so I don't sweat the technique.
My fave of the two was the simpleton just because I think I'm starting to have a love affair with goat cheese and the amount of basil was just right.
The box was quirky but seemed like they were trying a little too hard to break themselves away from the traditional pizza place.
Conclusion: it's a little gem on the UES that can keep the vegans, vegetarians, and the carnivores in harmony.
It's sometimes tough to know whether a place should get three or four stars. But two important factors for me include: employee friendliness and unique offerings. Slice delivers on both.
Is it my favorite pizza in NYC? No. But it's healthy. The honey wheat dough is tasty. And the prices are still incredibly reasonable. This isn't the kind of 'za to order up if you want to scarf it down during the Super Bowl. But it's satisfying in a different way, sans that pesky exploding stomach sensation you get from the former.
The spot is small but cozy, and counter service was very friendly and efficient. I also thought they had an awesome selection of various pies. Slice claims to be "perfect food." It's a tough claim to match (I thought the marinara sauce tasted a bit like minestrone soup), but I'll give it inventive, refreshing and fun. And I'll be back.
If you're looking for original and gourmet-ish pizza...hit up Slice.
Know before you go, it's not really a sit-down-and-have-a-nice-meal place...just a typical hole-in-the-wall pizza joint, but with exceptional 'za.
Sooo many different options - vegetarian or meat lovers will find choices to their liking. Slices are hearty and pretty average priced for what you get. AND...they are more justify-able than other pizza, since it's all organic-y and such. How they manage that, I don't know. Don't ask questions, just eat. Mmmm.
I'm a simple steak and potatoes kind of guy so I originally was skeptical of an organic/free range/soy kind of place- let alone on pizza.
It really was great and I was so surprised. Who really knew pizza can be healthy and that good? It's not served in the traditional circle or slices and forget the about the grease. Not here.
You have to try the taste of India (curry chicken). I would have never thought of it and it was my favorite (the chicken sausage is really good too). Also, try the organic Amber beer.
It is our favorite pizza place!! Everything about it is amazing! The pizza is fresh and organic. We especially love the wine pairing nights!
My favorite is the intermediate and the guru. You must try it!!!
My fiance would never try "healthy" pizza, but after one bite he was hooked.
We came, we tasted, we were incredibly disappointed!
I would not recommend this to anyone!
We hailed all the way from the west side to this boutique, one-of-a-kind, inconspicuous, fad diet friendly hole in the wall establishment. We were visiting friends who live in cab-ville (aka 81st & Madison; thus named because it is so far from the nearest subways that to live there you have to have enough attitude to not want to ride a subway, and enough money to not have to.) My dinner companion is highly unable to indulge in gluten products of any kind (celiac) and has desperately missed pizza since his diagnosis, and so we were eager to try Slice's gluten-free pie (with so many good reviews!).
First of all, the prices were outrageous. We bought one gluten free pie (you can't get it by the slice-- even at a place called slice) and it cost over $33.00! It came in a skinny box, and fed 4 adults as an appetizer. It was a slightly misshapen crispy rice cracker bottom, which had as much flavor as matzoh, and a stingy thin layer of red sauce and toppings.
The gluten crust is rice flour, and we determined that it was a step down from Amy's frozen pizza-- certainly not the pizza parlour pizza that we had envisioned. Not worth the trip cross town or the $33. We do not plan to order from there again. And we're not convinced that everything gluten-free must be bad, but this place certainly feeds this sterotype.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF "SLICE" (some hate it, some love it)
This adorable little spot is a must stop in or take out for anyone interested in trying "healthy" pizza. With organic toppings, great sauces, and several types of crust to choose from you could order a different "slice" almost every day of the year!
5 Stars for Healthy Edible, Clean Pizza!!
Thank goodness it's becoming hip and trendy to be healthy and eat well! I have been doing it for years but love that there are more restaurants to choose from.
A pizza with several toppings and a salad was around $35-40 including delivery. Where can you get a pizza with soy cheese that doesn't taste like plastic feet?? Slice has saved the day!
I ordered the pizza and salad just for myself and to be perfectly honest liked it a tad bit better cold the next day. Funny how old habits die hard.
The salad and pizza was big enough to feed 2-4 people depending on whether or not they are hungry girls or boys (who may have bigger appetites).
If you live on the Upper East Side or are visiting you will be happy to have such a little gem of a pizza place in the hood!
Date Rating: 5 (take it home or order delivery, don't bring a date here unless you just happen to be casually walking by)
Pick up Scale: 0
Strong Suggestions: Choose your own combination of what you like on a pizza and if you're ordering delivery the salad is pretty big and you can eat it for lunch at work the next day. Save yourself a second delivery charge!
NOTE: They do have wine if you're dining in. Not bad either.
ALSO THIS CANNOT COMPARE TO FAST GREASY PIZZA IT'S 200% DIFFERENT AND THIS REVIEW IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT I NEVER FIND ANY GOOD TOFU CHEESE PIZZA THAT IS EDIBLE... THIS ONE IS.
The concept is great here, but something is lacking in the execution, and that something is salt. I'm all for healthy eating, and I really wanted to love this place, but...
while the toppings are delicious and creative, the crust, which to me is make or break on a pizza, tastes flat, because of a real lack of salt in the dough. Salt has been demonized out of proportion to its deleterious effects, which only exist if one already has certain conditions, like high blood pressure. Perhaps they could still offer a low salt crust, and add one for people who want crust to have more flavor than cardboard.
"Healthy pizza" may mean "bad pizza" to some. At Slice, though, they make it as healthy as can be without sacrificing taste.
Slice uses organic ingredients, and sells by both the slice and the pie. The slices aren't necessarily cheap ($3 for a plain slice called the Simpleton, up to $5 for one with a lot of fixin's) but they are tasty. Plus, they cut each slice into smaller, symmetrical slices -- so it ends up looking something like a 10th grade geometry problem. But the cool thing is, man -- you can eat, like, a slice WITHIN a slice. Dude.
I walked through the kitchen to get to their bathroom, and saw them cooking the sauce in a huge pot on the stove. And this wasn't bulk-order canned sauce -- there were whole chunks of tomatoes and onions and whatever else makes their sauce so good. These are down-home, natural and freshly made ingredients, and they make for great pizza. I liked the first slice I had so much that I went back for more, which isn't always the case. The slices could've used a little more cheese in my opinion, but overall were excellent.
This place is built mostly for takeout, but there are a few small clean tables if you want to sit down. The staff is friendly and patient--even when you spend 5 minutes staring at the chalkboard menu only to choose 'plain'.
The place is very very small. The pizza is made from fresh ingredients and isn't what you'd expect from Ray Bari. You can get anything from your normal pizza to pizza with hummus or olives. Of course there was a moment where a friend of mine got the wrong pizza, and the waiter offered the uneaten but served pizza to another customer--which wasn't exactly unappetizing, but considerably bewildering.
When you think pizza, you think junk food. At Slice, you won't see big pies but delicately cut pizzas on a long white pottery barn like plate. You won't see any orange grease either, so if your idea of pizza must include orange grease, I wouldn't recommend it. But if you want a healthy slice that tastes just as good, Slice is where its at.
I should say again though that its terribly small and not a good place for groups, but I do believe you can order out.
Pizza is my favorite food. I love deep dish, NY style, all kinds. Slice is at the top of my list. Last week I was in NY and after going once, my 15 year old son just kept asking to go back to Slice for more pizza. He loved the Simpleton and the Chicken which are both great, but I found several items on the list I love, plus everyone that worked there is super friendly. In fact, Miki the owner often walks around and greets guests and makes sure they are happy. All of this in NY? I would highly recommend trying this out as great pizza never mind that it is actually healthy and organic which makes my wife feel better about the kids eating it so often (We went 3 times during our 1 week trip.)
Cute lil' pizza shop, cute name. Their gf pizza is only sold by the half/whole pie. And by pie, I mean almost cracker thin crust that rivals the size of 2 regular slices of pizza. Most definitely a novelty place banking of the neighborhood's plush inhabitants to frequent based on the "freshness" and "organicness" of the ingredients. I don't miss pizza enough to pay 30 bucks for what I think most would consider a pizzette.
I am allergic to gluten so I was so excited to hear about another gluten free pizza place in the city. I have to say though- their gluten free crust is pretty nasty. It's extremely dense and super chewy. While the toppings are delicious and so fresh, it's kind of like eating pizza toppings on top of wet cardboard. I would recommend Risotteria or best of all at Whole Foods they sell a frozen cheese pizza called "George's" that's delicious. Pizza Bolla has pretty good gluten free pizza but it somehow still makes my stomach hurt...(I think it's the soy flour)
Tastes good, but it's ridiculously overpriced for what it is...I had two slices and a small salad delivered, and including a tip, it came out to $19.00!!! Crazy, huh? Try Pintailes instead..Better pizza, still healthy and not greasy, better toppings, better salads and a much more reasonable price. They also are faster deliverers...It always seems like as soon as I hang up the phone, they buzz me with my dinner. Yum.
Yep, I was skeptical, too, when I first saw their take-out/delivery menu -- high-design (which I liked), but vegan pizza (that's crazy!)? actually, it's not totally vegan (thank god!) -- you can get free range chicken and goat cheese as toppings. in fact, I did just that -- with arugula, too. it was damn tasty -- and damn expensive. about $25 for the pie. But -- I have to say -- if you want fresh and tasty and unconventional pizza -- it's worth it.
So So So So good. Amazing veggie and vegan pizza. Totally bold and intense flavor. Started with the Wizard Bruschetta that was great. We all just loved the expert chicken pizza with out cheese. Girls that own it are so nice. Had picture taken with them and they could not have been nicer. Vegan brownies are great. Price is a little much but totally worth it for the flavor and innovative dishes.
Awesome... I like the pesto pizza the best. It's about twice the money of other places but well worth it!
if u live on the UES and need to get a slice of healthy pizza, this place is it for u. i sought it out specifically b/c of the spelt-crust and soy or rice cheese options and i was pleased. i dunno if this is a term, but it's a "boutique" pizza shop with matching prices. atmosphere was slightly haughty, but hey, u take wat u can get if you only have 2 options for pizza in the city with so many food restrictions.
know in advance that there alot of options to make b4 ordering ur individually-made, single-slice. give urself enough time to look at the menu there or on their website (http://www.sliceperfec...), and enough patience to deal with the counter-person who may or may not be of any help whatsoever. it's def ideal to eat in-store b/c it's a hike from the 77th st/lexington 6-train stop. good thing is, their pizza was pretty tasty cold =)
the one thing the counterperson excitedly recommended was to get the rice cheese over the soy. wordup.
A great pizza place. Better for take-out since its rather small. Organic toppings make the prices higher but I think its worth it (or is it?) The pizza was tasty but if you need the regular pizza tastes of pepperoni and ham then you should skip this place. Its super close by for us, so we will probably end up going here again unless we find something better. Not cheap though- around $30 for our whole wheat thin crust 5 topping selection. Great Find for pizza. Too expensive.
This place really gets 3.5 stars, but since it's got vegan and gluten free options, I'll bump it up. We went with a big group and took the whole place over. They did not seem prepared for us, eventhough my organizer told them we were coming. The ordering was rather chaotic since you have to go up to the counter to order. Things are not clearly marked so we had to ask a LOT of questions about what was vegan etc. They also do not have any beer, just wine and bottled beverages. But they did allow us to bring our own beer, so we went to the deli down the block and brought back some brews. The pizzas come in either slices or pies, and you can special order even the slices. That's a neat concept. I shared a pie with 2 other people. It didn't seem to fill me at all, however. I felt like I could keep eating. My friend was quite dissapointed with the gluten-free option. But, a pizza place, on the east side, that's vegan, you have to give it some credit! But quite expensive for what it is...pizza.
