NYC Vegan

Always have to take pictures of the amazing Vinnie’s Pizzeria in Williamsburg.

Left slice is Mexican-inspired with a black bean base, right side has red onions and BBQ sauce.

Vinnie’s is located at 148 Bedford Ave, L train to Bedford. Eat it.

Paulie Gee’s is the promised land of pizza.

Seriously.

Here is my advice for dining at Paulie Gee’s:

• Go at 6PM. It will already be busy but you won’t have to wait for a table.
• Wash your hands, because the sinks are fun and they have Mrs Meyer’s soap.
• If you order the salad and you’re vegan, ask for cheese off. It’s rough to pick out.
• Order a beer, because there’s a great selection on tap.
• Talk to the cute older man owner, because his face will light up when you detail how glorious his pizza is.
• Eat a whole pizza to your face, because you deserve it.
• Tip well, because you’ll be coming again immediately if not sooner.

Mine, pictured above, had homemade vegan sausage (delicious) and homemade cashew cheese (glorious) with arugula and mushrooms. The only don’t is getting extra mushrooms because they literally put four mushrooms on my pizza. It was so amazing though I didn’t even care.

Paulie Gee’s is easily accessible by boat! Take the East River Ferry to India street in Greenpoint. The G is also pretty close but I don’t like the G so I won’t give you directions. Then walk to the Lorimer St L after dining, because you’ll need to walk a little after noshing.

What I had for lunch: Raw pizza w/olives + onions on flax crust w/sun dried tomato sauce +cashew cheese +marinated dark greens salad from the Cinnamon Snail.

guys i eat a lot of vegan pizza.

this is from two boots on bleeker street. 

it’s like salad on bread.

Product Review! Amy’s Rice Crust Spinach Pizza (vegan)

At 8.99$, this pizza costs a lot.

When I think about it, though, a slice of vegan pizza usually costs about 4$, so taken in that point of view it’s not too bad.

This pizza didn’t taste bad, sure, but nothing too great. It was also a pain to get the cheese to melt - I had to broil it for a couple of minutes after the initial cooking, when all I wanted to do was dig in (after a terribly long ride home from Queens, I was in desperate need of some great pizza). I also thought it’d have real veggies instead of spinach pasta, so I was disappointed there (misconception on my behalf but, still).

The ingredient list is a bit longer than I’d like, too - see here for full report. However, I do give props to Amy’s Kitchen for even making this product. 

End thoughts -  I make pizza way better from scratch but this is a good, easy choice for drunk evenings.

Portabella Pizza

Portabella mushroom rubbed with olive oil + herbs, topped with marinara sauce, vegan spinach artichoke dip and mozzarella Daiya cheese. Put it in the oven for about twenty minutes on 350 and you have a mouthwatering meal.
