Delicious!

Pizza so good it tricked my omni friends! So tasty, I recommend the cheese pizza, and breadsticks, maybe some cheesecake for dessert!

Pros: 100 percent vegan!

Good vegan pizza

Good vegan pizza and very friendly customer service. The shop itself is not the most enjoyable place to eat your vegan pizza. I think I would be better to take the pizza to go or delivered if you live nearby.

Cheesy vegan pizza with friendly service

My husband and I stopped in here for some vegan pizza before we went to a Dodgers game recently. It's definitely more of a delivery place than sit-down, but the workers there are super friendly and they do have three bar seats and a small makeshift outside table. This place would be five stars for us if we were vegan and had a hard time eating pizza elsewhere. Given we're not vegan, I definitely prefer regular cheese or a cheese-less spicy marinara pizza. Daiya cheese is likely the best vegan cheese I've had out there, but it's the same amount of calories as regular cheese, but without the protein of it! It doesn't melt quite as well as regular cheese either.

All of that aside, Cruzer has a bunch of options with lots of different faux-meats as well. For people who are now vegan and used to not be, this is a paradise! They have about eight different pre-designed pizza combinations, but you can also build your own. The pizza is also well-priced for its size and amount of toppings. We didn't try dessert but they also offer those.

Certainly more of a delivery place if you live in the area, but definitely solid food and people.

Great food, friendly staff!

Came here after spending the day at VegFest LA. My wife and daughter had already been here before, but we are not often out in this area. Monica got the Philly Cheezsteak sandwich and I got the Buffalo chik'n Sandwich.

The staff was very friendly and we met a great couple who were regulars there. We talked about the VegFest (they missed it this year) but had a great conversation while waiting for the food.

Our sandwiches were HUGE and tasty. We weren't able to finish them so we took them home to enjoy later. I dropped off a new Excellent Reviews decal to replace their faded one. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Pros: Great pizzeria selections, Friendly staff, Large portions

Cons: L.A. Parking, Limited seating

all vegan pizza joint

With gluten-free options! Love the rice crust. Order for delivery or pick up because there are two waiting seats inside which are totally usable to dine if alone, but not appropriate for groups. This place started as a regular pizza joint offering a vegan option and bam - vegan was so popular they made the whole switch. Long running. Great. Topping options. No meat or dairy on site. Thank you!

Vegan Pizza in LA

I love Cruzer's and wish they were closer. Heard they're looking for a space in Santa Monica / Venice. Hope they get one. I believe this is the only vegan pizzeria in LA.

Pros: All vegan pizzeria

All vegan pizzeria! :D

We had a delicious pizza at Cruzer and the staff were really friendly and helpful!

We also got a piece of orange cake to take away which was very tasty.

It is so amazing to go to an all vegan pizzeria - if I lived in LA I would order from Cruzer all the time!

Pros: All vegan menu, Vegan desserts, Vegan fast food

Vegan heaven!

This place is so bad for people who are on a diet because you cannot have enough of their food! I've had their Calzones, pizza and sandwiches. I've taken my meat eater family members and they agree that this stuff is amazing! If you live in Los Feliz, you're in luck because they deliver! If you are not close to them (like me) you will not have much of a pleasant experience dinning in. It is a whole in the wall with a few bar stools making it difficult to eat there if there are more patrons there already. The worst part, as anyone living in the area knows, is the parking! Yes, Cruzer pizza has a little bit of parking but that's it, a little bit. If the parking lot is full, you're gonna have to search for street parking and good luck! They do take phone pick up orders so I would recommend you to do that. I don't need to speak more about the food because it speaks for itself. Be ready to break your diet because that's stuff is addictive like crack!

Pros: Delicious food, Affordable, Variety of dishes

Cons: Small parking lot, Small restaurant, Addictive food!!!

Redundant

Cheesecake was good after it melts.
Spaghetti was boring underneath all the cheese.
Pizza didn't jump out.

Pros: Location, Pasta, Pizza

Cons: Bland, Not Enough Taste, Pricey

Pizza heaven

This is by far the best 100% vegan pizza place in the world! Not kidding, it's that good.

I have a hard time deciding what to get when I go here, but some of my favorite items are the pesto pizza with thin crust, potato wedges with Ranch dressing and the Calzone with pineapple and onion.

It's a hole in the wall with little parking, but we always seem to find a spot really close. The owners and staff are really cool.

I strongly recommend everybody to visit this restaurant - it's as good as it gets.

Pros: Excellent pizza, Excellent Calzone, Oh, the Ranch dressing...!

Cons: Parking can be hard to find

Need more places like that!

Cruzer pizza offered me one of my first vegan pizza with a great cheese on it. I tried the Hawaiian one and I was very bluffed by the smell and taste of the pizza that was so close to a real cheese-meat pizza (which was great on first sight but led me not to be able to finish the pizza, too similar!). Otherwise, the size of the pizza was good, the crust was perfectly crunchy and staff is friendly. The only problem of the place is that it is difficult to park in the area and that you must take your food away.

Pros: fully vegan, daiya cheese, friendly staff, look and smell like no vegan pizzas

Cons: only to take away, no parking, sometimes too close to real meat pizzas

Best Vegan Pizza

This is the best vegan pizza in LA! I only wish it was closer or they had a second chain so I could order my pizza's here more often. Not a sit down place, an order and pick up (or delivery if you are fortunate enough to live in the neighborhood).

So delicious! So, so, SO delicious!

Pros: DELICIOUS!

Cons: Not enough chains

Great Place

We had the gourmet pesto pizza with salad. Was enough to have cold pizza for breakfast the next day, a rare treat for vegans! Nice and friendly place, unfortunately their delivery area does not reach our home so we have to drive over. Definitely worth it! Wish they had more sitting room (so we can bring guests) and easier parking.

Pros: Good food, Friendly service

Holy Cow thassa good pizza!

OOOH ooh ooh this is good stuff. Crust was perfect. Not too much Daiya but enough to make it great. Delish and plentiful toppings. The very best vegan ranch dressing I have ever had. Super friendly brothers running the place--proud of their business, their food, and their mission. AWESOME> now just build a dining room or a roofdeck or something so I can tell my friends to meet me here!

Pros: Fantastic food, fantastic staff, totally vegan and PROUD

Cons: tiny spot for eating, only in LA--we need a franchise!

Best vegan pizza ever

Cruzer pizza is without a doubt my favorite vegan pizza place around! I ordered the pesto pizza and it was sooo delicious. I couldn't have imagined a tastier pizza. However, the restaurant itself is quite small-only one table and a barstool area, I guess most people get their food to go. But all in all great pizza place and highly recommend!

Wow, all vegan pizzas & pasta

I had read about this place on happycow and was in the Los Feliz area to try it out. Here's my Cruzer Pizza review.

It's a little bit hidden due to it being behind/next to another restaurant that's bigger. Just follow the address and you'll find it next to the Desert Rose restaurant (i think that's the name).

Cruzer's menu is impressive -- more than just pizza, it also offers appetizers, salads, calzone, sandwiches, and pasta. Lots of daiya vegan cheese and vegan faux meats.

From the menu I got a vegan vegetable pizza where I got to choose my vegetable in addition to daiya vegan cheese. There are also some interesting pizzas under the "gourmet pizza" section that I'd like to try next time.

Taste-wise, my pizza was okay. The dough is more chewy and thicker than I would have liked. Some people prefer it this way, though I personally like a thinner and more cripsy crust.

In any case, I ate my slices while they were warm, so that was alright. Very impressed that this place is all vegan.

The pizza here is amazing. I have had the bbq chicken pizza, pesto chicken pasta and the cheesy bread sticks. All of these things were amazing. It is great pizza whether you are vegan or not. If I lived closer I would go here all the time.

Eat here if you like Pizza

Bought two pizzas and shared with my pizza loving carnivore colleague. We were both blown away. It was hands down some of the best pizza either of us had ever had (vegan or non vegan pizza). Take out only.

Pros: fast, yummy

Cons: no public bathroom
