I wanted to try something different though. There had to be a pizza joint in Pittsburgh producing high quality and delicious cruelty free pie… right?
I was in luck!
I found two places who cook up vegan pie, Pizza Sola and Pizza Fusion. I decided to give Pizza Sola a try since it is pretty close to my house.
I ordered, get ready for it, a half onion/pepper and half pineapple / banana pepper pizza. Yum, yum, gimme some!
It was mighty delish! Bravo Pizza Sola on catering to us chubby ‘Burgh vegans!
Their vegan pizza was a cheese – less pizza so I decided to add a little Daiya mozzarella at home and throw it in the oven for a few seconds. Ideally, it would have come loaded with some delicious teese or daiya, but baby steps… baby steps.
I served it up with a chubby vegans dream, Frank’s Hot Sauce, homemade vegan ranch and some beer.
*belch*So I would give it a chubby thumbs up and recommend giving Pizza Sola a visit the next time you are looking for some vegan pizza. Plus, they are open late to top off a night of boozing and debauchery. Score!
More pictures and a vegan ranch recipe, after the jump!

I bet it was awesome with that ranch dressing yum!
ReplyDeleteIts weird, I never really liked ranch dressing EXCEPT with pizza. Vegan ranch was delightful and made an excellent dip!
ReplyDeleteI read an article on Yahoo the other day that said that most vegans can't/don't drink beer because it's filtered with egg whites or fish bladders or something. http://shine.yahoo.com/event/green/10-foods-that-vegans-cant-eat-2443353
ReplyDelete@Caity- It is a sad reality... There are lots of commercial American beer that is okay though (ie: Bud Light)
ReplyDeleteew. someone is going to have to come up with a better vegan beer than Bud Light. that's a travesty.

Hi! I just read your blog and felt I should inform you of the pizza shop I own. It's called Spak Brothers and we are in Garfield on Penn Ave.
ReplyDeleteWe serve a completely vegan pizza with Daiya on it as well as numerous vegan sandwiches and sides. We make our own seitan in house and use locally sourced and sustainable food as much as we can. Check it out, Ryan
