Disappointing

Got takeaway pizza. Their standards have dropped since I last had Hell Pizza. Has become “chain quality”. But at least they have a good selection.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Pizza not great

Excellent

We were able to build our own pizza through their order link. So good to see vegan meat and cheese. We added chorizo and impossible beef as well as other veges we wanted. A bit too saucy and I'm normally a pretty saucey boy... You can also add ingredients half/half through the link which is awesome.

Pros: Online link very versatile, Very customisable

Cons: Bit too saucy

Great road trip food!

Needed to find a bite to eat in the middle of a road trip and HappyCow came to the rescue! This place was positively overwhelming with the amount of vegan options (that never happens!). I went with the vegan "Mischief" pizza but I opted for the nuggs to come on the side with BBQ sauce, instead of as a pizza topping (there was already a lot of goodness going on, nuggs as a topping seemed like a bit much - if I had been out drinking though, hands down the right decision!). The pizza man was very friendly and patient, he let me make my changes with no issues and gave me an accurate estimate for how long my order would take. I was on my way enjoying delicious pizza and nuggs very quickly! Super happy to have gotten a chance to try this place out. FWIW the pizza also heats up well in the microwave, I had the leftovers in my hotel room later that night and it was great! Note: this location is a take-away spot, there is no dine-in seating.

Pros: Variety of options, Delicious pizza, Friendly staff

Cons: Wish there was extra sauce for my nuggs, Outside tables and chairs would have been cool

The best pizza I ever had

Are you a vegan? And are you in Taupo? Then you HAVE TO visit this pizza. Let me repeat that. You HAVE TO order a pizza here, it's that great! Promise you won't regret 😉 And get the biggest you can 😉

Pros: Pretty cheap at just 28$ NZD, Opened even in weekends, Lot of vegan pizzas to get

Cons: None I know of

Best vegan pizza options in Taupo.

Great range of options and good service. If you want a vegan pizza in Taupo I would highly recommend going to Hell.

Pros: Plenty of options, good service, , reasonably priced, great tasting.

VERY nice vegan pizza, more of a take away place

The vegan pizza's were epic. Big. Full of toppings. The garlic bread was yummy too. I had imagined it was more of a restaurant setting, but it really was more of a take away place.

Pros: Really tasty pizza, Lots of vegan options

Cons: They don't serve alcohol, Not really a place to stay and eat

Awful service and overpriced boring food

My god I have never had such atrocious service. The guy at the counter was inept to the point of hostility. He didn’t understand how anything worked or what was vegan even though they advertise. He was rude and the food came slowly. When it did the salad (which was a mission to order) and the garlic bread were good but the pizza was bland and tasteless for such an expensive thing. It also came with cheese on t despite us saying five times we were vegan. They didn’t care at all. I would never go back to any branch of this place based on that experience. Atrocious. Go to the supermarket or get the vegan burger on the lakefront for better food.

Cons: Service, Waiting times, Price and quality

Great vegan options!

They had fantastic vegan pizza and the staff where friendly and told us what was good. They also knew a lot on why they partnered with companies to create these vegan pizzas.

Excited backpackers!!

After backpacking in more rural NZ spots, we were so excited to arrive here and find proper vegan pizza with cheese and garlic bread! We both loved the pizza - so creamy and filling and the guy behind the counter was super friendly and funny

Careful with the wedges though. The same fryer is also used to cook chicken and seafood. In reply to an online query they emailed me to say that they did take many steps to ensure their pizzas were vegetarian, but unfortunately having a dedicated veggie fryer was not something that their stores could viably offer at this stage, but they were looking into how they could make this happen.

Yummy vegan options

My friend had the Sinister and I had the pride with vegan cheese, nuggets and BBQ sauce. Both were really good, I think the sinister was the best of the two. Pretty good value - mine came to $19 and was too much for me so had the leftovers for dinner as well😄

Vegan pizza

Amazing vegan pizza, similar style to dominos or Pizza Hut (but better). I had a Mexican style pizza and added vegan cheese. Also had a side of vegan nuggets. Friendly staff so accommodating to dietary requirements

Pros: Two different vegan cheese options , Vegan sides

Vegan-friendly pizza

We stopped by when the local veg place was closed, and rather than ordering the standard vegan pizza (which is sort of Mexican-inspired) we got one of the others and requested vegan cheese. The pizza box came with a “dairy-free” sticker on it, which was comforting. Taste and texture were good, though we found it wanting of a bit of salt (which they said they didn’t have for customers).

tasty pizza

Honesty the bests pizzas I’ve had from a pizza chain type place. Far better options and quality than Dominos or Pizza Hut. As far as I could find the diary free cheese is vegan but the Quorn most likely is not.

Delicious vegan pizza

This place has a vegetarian menu and a great non -dairy cheese. You can ask for any kind of pizza, just selecting the ingredients that you prefer. I opted for a vegan cheese-avocado-dried tomatoes-spinaches-thin pizza and it was yummy and to die for. Friendly staff, cool place, good location.
