Easy Street Pizza Beer Garden - Chicago

This restaurant offers a selection of vegan options, including the ability to customize your own pizza with vegan cheese. However, the standout dish for me was the breakfast burrito, which I have been craving since going vegan. It was absolutely delicious! Additionally, their beverage selection is also very enjoyable.

This restaurant has a large outdoor patio area in the back and some outdoor seating in the front. I chose to sit outside and found plenty of well-spaced picnic tables with umbrellas. The staff was attentive and friendly. They played a good variety of music at a reasonable volume. I tried the V deep dish pizza with V sausage, cheese, and other toppings. My non-vegetarian friend said it was pretty good and I agreed. The sangria was delicious, though I couldn't confirm if it was made with vegan wine. When I took my leftovers home, I discovered Parmesan cheese on it. I called the restaurant and was told they use vegan Parmesan. It is important to note that the regular crust is not vegan, but the gluten-free crust is.

After dining at this restaurant, I experienced a terrible reaction to the food days later. When I called to inquire, I discovered that the crust contains dairy despite offering vegan cheese and toppings. It appears that the only vegan option may be the gluten-free crust. Unfortunately, I won't be returning to give it another try as I fell ill for the entire day after eating here.

They have a spacious outdoor area at the back and a smaller outdoor seating area at the front. I chose not to dine inside. The outdoor area has many picnic tables with rain umbrellas. The staff were very friendly. They played a variety of music, some of which was rare and not so good, but it was not too loud to have a normal conversation. I tried the deep dish pizza with vegan sausage, cheese, and other toppings. My non-vegan friend said it was good and I agreed. The sangria was delicious as well (I cannot confirm if it was made with wine). When I got home and unpacked my leftovers, I found Parmesan cheese on the pizza. After calling the restaurant, I was told they used vegan Parmesan cheese. It's worth noting that the regular crust is not vegan, but the gluten-free crust is.

I walked here and day later after terrible reaction to eat, I cried out and found out that there is milk in the crust, although they have vegan cheese and vegan toppings. Perhaps the gluten-free crust is the only vegan option? not safe. I will not be back to try, even though I was sick all day after.
