Virtuous Pie
Description
In a vibrant, modern setting, this vegan restaurant offers a unique take on classic dishes, particularly its pizzas.

Was Anonym at Virtuous Pie a mag?
My first time trying a completely vegan pizza that has no dairy for its cheeses. I had their ultraviolet pizza that had walnut and arugula pesto, oven-dried tomato, kale, caramelized onion, cashew mozzarella, and pine nuts. This had to be one of the best-tasting pizzas that I've tried that has no animal products because the cheese tasted like real cheese, but it was nut-based. I would say that it tasted better than a...

What Anonym dislikes about Virtuous Pie:
Cafeteria style where you wait at a counter to order and take a number. We ordered two pizzas. It took 30 miniutes to have the order filled. The pizzas were expensive for what you got $15 $16 for a 10” pizza skimpy on toppings). View all feedback.

I can only comment on their vegan ice cream, but the Vietnamese coffee was exceptional. The serving size may vary depending on who serves you.
I had several issues when I visited this restaurant. The service was very slow, with the mac and cheese coming out quickly but the pizza taking a long time. As a non-vegan who has tried many vegan restaurants, I found the texture of the pizza to be unpleasant, with a crispy crust and a thick, gelatinous layer on top that seemed to mimic cheese. The restaurant encourages customers to pay online with their phones, but this means you have to tip before receiving your service. The portions were small and expensive, and the mac and cheese was overly saucy, resembling more of a cheese sauce with macaroni floating in it. They even ran out of drinking glasses. Despite these issues, my vegan companion enjoyed the pizza, and I personally liked the garlic knots.
I ordered the ultraviolet pizza and cookie skillet at this restaurant and it was phenomenal! I am so grateful for the clean and delicious food that this place serves.
