Buona pizza vegana!

Pizzeria con opzioni vegane. Io ho provato quella autunnale con crema di zucca e funghi. Impasto morbido e leggero. Spero sempre che aggiungano più opzioni vegane

Probably the best vegan option in town

The V-Label on the sign is a bit misleading as it's not a vegan/vegetarian place (unfortunately they serve dead animals). However, it's probably the best option for vegans in town with many clearly marked vegan dishes (starters, pasta, pizza).
The home-made vegan mozzarella is more like a dip/cream, in my opinion not really worth it. The pizza was very nice though.

Loved it!

They have enough vegan options to choose from clearly labeled (look for the orange dot), the chef makes vegan mozzarella 😋 they call it mozzaveg, it was super tasty. We had 1 pizza and 1 thick type of pizza/focaccia and for starters they had fried veggies in dough, simple yet very good although a bit greasy but hey... Staff was really friendly and the place is really large!

Pros: Great price, Large portions, The taste of italy 🤤

Cons: They should make vegan tiramisu

Very Good

Vegan options were clearly marked. Prices were very reasonable. No outside seating, which I think an earlier review said there was. We had 2 different pizzas and we each enjoyed what we ordered. Mine was seasonal veggies with vegan cheese. As others have said, the cheese is not super flavourful, but for me, the crust makes the pizza, and the crust was amazing. Seasonal veggies included beets, asparagus, zucchini, mushrooms, and walnuts. I also ordered a side of vegetables, which turned out to be the same veggies! Not a problem, just an observation. Cost for a pizza was €10, very reasonable.

Pros: Good pizza, Several vegan options, clearly marked, Priced well

Cons: Busy

It was fine, nothing special. And that pasta topping (olive and sun dried tomatoes if I remember well) was half burnt.

Sehr viele vegane Optionen

Clear labeled vegan options!
Nicht alltäglich in Italien. Umfangreiche Speisekarte, vieles davon vegan, große Auswahl an Pizzen.
Das junge Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam.
Essen hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt. Der Balsamico zum Salat war einzigartig, leider vor Ort im kleinen Verkaufsregal nicht vorrätig.
Zentraler Top Tipp für Triest! #Veganuary

Pros: Große Auswahl, Klare Kennzeichnung , Ambiente

Ottima pizza vegana

Avrei messo 5*!!
Ampia scelta vegetariana e vegana, sono evidenziate in modo chiaro le opzioni veg e senza glutine.
Pizza soffice e leggera, ingredienti freschi, mozzarella veg fatta in casa davvero buona!!
E una sacher vegana molto interessante.
Locale accogliente, servizio cordiale, cortese e grande attenzione al cliente, in fase di ordine si informano sempre su intolleranze e allergie.
E il lunedì è meatless monday! Con promozioni su prodotti vegani e vegetariani…per invogliare magari anche qualche scettico #Veganuary

Pros: Ingredienti , Cortesia

Best pizza, vegan&glutenfree

Very good food (both vegan and non-vegan), One of the best vegan pizzas I’ve
Ever had, if not THE best. There’s 3 or 4 vegan pizzas and several other vegan dishes including a baked vegan chocolate cake. Service is friendly , and the place is huge inside, but if you want to sit outside I’d recommend making a reservation. They have home made vegan mozzarella in the vegan pizza which is very yummy! Service was very friendly. Would go again and try everything else on the menu that is vegan 😃!

Pros: Homemade Vegan Mozzarella , Friendliness , Many clearly marked vegan options

Cons: Id appreciate more tables outside

Great selection of vegan dishes

I was so delighted to find so much choice! I think 5 vegan pizzas, so with homemade vegan mozzarella, pasta dishes, and some interesting starters (farinata, tempura, beetroot tartare). Didn’t have space for dessert sadly! Highly recommend. Friendly service too (and nicely air conditioned!)

Pros: Range of vegan options, Works with lots of small food producers, Delicious pizza!

Do not recommend

First time I tried their pizza it was delivered to me, the base was completely uncooked so it was impossible for me to eat it.
I gave them a second chance going to the restaurant for dinner with a bunch of friends and we all ordered pizza. They came very quickly to the table and we all were very surprised. That night and the day after we all suffered severe stomach ache.
Never going back to this place ever again!

Spacious place with vegan options in all categories

The restaurant had vegan choices across the menu, including starters, main dishes, pasta, pizza, and dessert. We were there for pizza, there were 7 vegan options on the menu, including some with vegan mozzarella (the 3 we tried were very good). We also tried the vegan sacher cake just because they had one.

Pros: Options in all categories

Cons: Vegan options are low protein

Cute place

The menu changes seasonally and the food normally is tasty, but it happened one time that the food wasn’t good at all…. Maybe we were simply unlucky.

Pizza vegana

Se siete in cerca di una pizzeria in cui non siate costretti a mangiare una marinara, probabilmente questa è una delle migliori pizzerie a Trieste in cui mangiare alternative vegane.

Pros: Discreta quantità di opzioni vegane , Qualità degli ingredienti , Servizio

Cons: Abbastanza costoso

Good vegan alternatives

In addition to offering excellent pizza, with both classic and high-hydration dough (thus a smaller but taller pizza), Il Melograno also offers excellent vegan alternatives.

First, there are several pizzas with rice mozzarella and/or vegetable cheese, as well as several really delicious vegan dishes. An added value of this restaurant is their varying some parts of the menu according to seasonality.

Finally, both the service and the venue, located in the center of Trieste in the beautiful Cavana area, make the meal even more enjoyable.

A must try!

Pros: Excellent pizza , high-hydration dough, seasonal menu

Cons: Nothing

One of the best options in Trieste

Since Trieste is not a very vegan-friendly city, you have to chose from the few places where vegan options are clearly labeled and do are not limited to potatoes and pasta. The Melograno offers a calm ambiente and some clearly labelled vegan dishes, including pizzas, pasta, gnocchi and more. Sometimes they even have a vegan cake on the menu. The dishes are all made with top-quality products and you can definitely tell😄
