Vegetarian restaurant with 2 vegan pizzas options. Also has various (fairly substantial) salads and other side dishes, many of which are vegan. Purposely does not have a sign outside. It's at Avenida El Poblado, where you walk into the Parque Lineal La Presidenta, on your left, just before the bridge in the park. Live music some nights. Open Mon-Sun 5:00pm-10:00pm.

Macadamia cream pizza

Lovely pizzeria with nice drinks list. The venue is nice too, particularly the terrace with a jungle/river view.

There are not that many vegan options though, we had the spinach pizza with macadamia cheese and papas bravas. The pizza dough was good and I liked the macadamia cream. However, the pizza was a bit oily and the balsamic vinegar they added was strange as it added unwanted sweetness to the pizza. If I were to eat the pizza again, I would definitely ask them not to add the balsamic vinegar.

Solid choice if you are looking for a pizza.

Great vegan pizza

They have 2 or 3 vegan pizzas (one is just a marinara) on their menu and both tasted great. I personally didn’t like the balsamic vinegar that came on one of them as a flavor component, but still the pizzas themselves tasted quite excellent. Also very nice ambiance and friendly people.

Pros: Offered tap water

Cons: Could have more vegan options

Amazing pizza

Stayed at the hostel next doors, so this was very convenient. The vegan pizzas are very good. Instead of cheese they use this macadamia cream, which was very nice. Really enjoyed eating here. The only downsides are that it takes some time before you're allowed to enter, because it can get quite busy. The other downside is that it's not the cheapest option you'll find. Overall though, it's a nice restaurant to go to.

Pros: Amazing pizza, Nice setting

Cons: A bit pricey

Awesome pizza

Their pizza tastes really great! Definitely a must-try in Medellin if you are craving a italian-style pizza. They serve a vegan pizza with spinach and a macadamia cheese which is so delicious. They also have a second vegan pizza which comes with kale and lemon. As an appetizer we tried the hummus which was really good as well. Great taste overall!

Pros: Great taste

Cons: Not completely vegan

Good pizza, needs more vegan options

The pizza here is great: good dough, nicely fired with a good crisp crunch without being too thin. The vegan options are clearly labeled, but unfortunately there’s only a few of them. I imagine you can make substitutions, but it would be nice to see something in the menu that says you can sub the macadamia cream in place of the cheese on any of the pizzas.

Similarly, I’d like to see more of the macadamia cream in the pizzas, and maybe an actual gooey vegan cheese. That said, it’s still delicious as is!

While I unfortunately didn’t order it and only saw it as I was leaving, the hummus dish looked absolutely amazing with a giant puffy freshly-fired pita and homemade hummus garnished with chickpeas and oil.

Muy rica

La pizza espinaca es muy rica, la masa es bastante delgada y un poco crocante, también tienen variedad de bebidas en el menú (infusiones, te, café, licor) originales que no he visto en otros restaurantes. El lugar es un poco escondido, pero por dentro es grande, tiene un jardín y mesas comodas

Pros: Increíble pizza

Opciones veganas

La mejor pizza vegana de la ciudad, las papas bravas obligatorias si te gusta el picante y sus “gaseosas” naturales son algo diferente… tambien opciones de postres veganos… no me canso de repetir; un plus el ambiente y la gente!!

WOODEN STICK hidden inside my pizza!

The 13th of february 2020 I ordered this arugula pizza. Hidden inside the vegetables there was a WOODEN STICK, about seven to ten centimeters long. I have a resin piece construction on my frontal teeth, and as soon as I bit the slice a big part of one of my tooth crashed in pieces.

The restaurant apologized and told me they would take responsability on my surgical fees. BUT THEY HAVEN'T SO FAR. TOO WRONG.

Just perfect from entree to postre

We went for dinner without knowing that it is a vegetarian restaurant. Everything we had was absolutetly delicious. Especially the spinach pizza and the mousse au chocolat cake were just perfect. The staff was very attentive. A bit expensive but you definitely get what you pay for. (Note: Live music on wednesday costs $ 6'000 extra per person)

Pros: Vegan options, Staff very friendly and attentive, Live music on wednesday

Decent pizza

We had the kale and spinach pizza which were both vegan. The kale was mediocre, but the spinach one was decent. Overall I’ve had better vegan pizzas before, but it might be the best in Medellín. They do take away if you don’t want to eat there and they have live music or other events every Wednesday.

Cons: Expensive for what it is

One of the best vegan pizzas i've ever had.. coming from a new yorker.

It has 3 vegan pizza options. We got one of each and I don't know which one was my favorite. Marinara, kale, and spinach. We also got the hummus. Very cool place and a good place to visit with not vegans.

Pros: Pet friendly outside.

Cons: opens pretty late. open from 5pm-10pm

A gem

The restaurant is located off an alley, but the atmosphere is amazing and it's a beautiful place. PORTIONS ARE VERY BIG! My friend and me ordered entradas "patatas bravas" to share, and then "espinaca" pizza and we were both full and happy. While a bit more on the pricy side for Colombia, this was not close to being the most expensive spot encountered in Medellin. Food was flavourful, and the staff thoughtful.

Pros: Decent amount of vegan options in appetizers, HUGE portions, Vegan macadamia cheese on pizza is exquisite

Cons: A bit pricy

Amazing vegan pizza

Currently they have 3 vegan pizza options. I chose the spinach one and this was one of the best vegan pizzas I've ever had. The flavours were amazing. The "cheese" was nut based, not a processed cheese (not that I dislike processed cheese, but nut based seems a bit more natural). Highly recommend.

Pros: Vegan options
