24 Top-Rated Spots To Get Vegan Pizza In The US
Here in America, we can access various pizza styles and pizza-centric products. Whether you prefer New York-style large slices or square-shaped Detroit-style, there are more than enough options to satisfy your cheesy cravings. According to Britannica, Americans consume 100 acres of pizza daily, or 350 slices each second.
Although cheese is the undeniable star of the pizza experience, what if you are vegan? Vegan versions of cheese-heavy foods often pale in comparison to the original. Plant-based cheese can be unpredictable: frequently bland, plastic-tasting, and completely unlike dairy cheese. Thankfully, vegan cheese has improved considerably in recent years and some brands have even managed to recreate its stretch and pull. As a result, vegan pizza tastes a whole lot better.
From the East Coast to the West Coast, the bar continues to rise. Today, many pizzerias offer quality pies for not only vegans but meat lovers, too. Here is an extensive list of our top-rated spots throughout the 50 states that offer vegan pizza. The list was compiled using personal experience, recommendations from close friends, and an aggregation of online reviews.
Double Zero in New York City
Matthew Kinney's plant-based pizzeria Double Zero cooks the freshest ingredients in a custom-built wood fire oven. Totally meat- and dairy-free, Double Zero has been serving health-focused New Yorkers from its East Village location since 2016. The pies are not only tasty but also organic and sustainable. Neapolitan is the style of choice, but don't expect large pies; servings are typically individually sized. All of the cheeses are nut-based, surprisingly flavorful, and made in-house. Some examples include cashew mozzarella, macadamia nut ricotta, and sunflower parmesan — there is even a butternut squash nacho cheese option. Along with pizza, Double Zero's menu features a wide range of salads, pastas, desserts, and alcoholic beverages.
