Viva Herbal Pizzeria
Every time I go to the East Village, I always crave pizza because I know the deliciousness of Viva Herbal Pizzeria is there waiting for me. After going to a truly awful movie (Young Adult - don’t see it - I ended up feeling so awkward during it I hid in my coat - I hate awkward flicks), I consoled myself with two slices of delicious Viva.
I had my old standby - siciliana marinara - a thick crust, spicy marinara slice of heaven and a piece of Santa Rosa (sundried tomato, mushroom, roasted garlic, kalamata olives and miso tofu). I think the miso tofu could be more flavorful but it’s great for what it is and boy, do I love roasted garlic and sundried tomatoes. I eat sundried tomatoes like potato chips. It’s freaky.
Vegan pizza = <3
