Amazing! Pizza and Greek food! - Edit
If I could give this 5 stars I would! All of the pizza dough is vegan and it was enjoyed by myself and the non-veg’s I was with. We got a regular and vegan pizza, vegan cheese bread, and I had the falafel (swap out the dressing it is served with for something else, I got tahini). It was so good! I wasn’t even hungry at the end of the meal AT ALL!
Read morePros: Lots of roping options , Willing and educated about how to make vegan
Cons: SO SMALL, no vegan desert

yuuuum - Edit
Reaally outstanding pizza! Yeah something about their dough and their sauce compliments the daiya cheese really well. I love mellow mushroom and have been going there for my pizza needs but this place is definitely as good or better. The service is great, and the Mediterranean is pretty dope as well. We got the veggie pizza medium with Daiya cheese instead of the dairy cheese and the Mediterranean sampler plate, minus the taziki. It was all really good! Like food in stomachs within minutes Good. Devoured!!

Great pizza in neighborhood setting - Edit
We were just passing through and stopped for take out for Superbowl watching in a hotel. It is so rare to be able to have a proper vegan pizza with Daiya cheese that I never have the chance to critique different places and pies. What a pleasant surprise this was.
Read moreCrust was thin and chewy in the main center with edge thick/rolled and nicely baked. It had an interesting, almost sweet flavor. The red sauce was rich dense tomatoes with no wine or heavy herb/garlic. Good amount of Daiya. Fair amount of toppings (mushroom onion olive--3 options!). Would have liked more! Cooked perfectly; so often regular pizza places overcook cheese less pizza.
Only drawback was no protein options. A simple firm tofu marinated in an Italian dressing would be wonderful and not too far out. :)
Salad was simple but nicely done with romaine, grape toms, chopped peppers and onions. Only option was packaged dressing but the balsamic was good.
Service was brief/takeout but friendly. Physical space was inviting, quiet and clean. Certainly worth making this a routine pizza stop for locals, and not too far from the interstate for travelers.
Pros: Daiya cheeze, Great pizza crust/sauce combo, Fresh

This place is great ! - Edit
Vegan Pizza - the first vegan place I frequented often They make their pizza from scratch and you can watch the guy in the back making the dough.They also offer Vegan gluten free pizza.Affordable, and right down the street from The five points area.The dining area is Nice but small. The food itself is great,They do have an awesome variety of food though. If you aren't diff in a pizza, you can opt out for a Stromboli,or even Hummus.
Read moreWhat makes this place special is its consistently nice service.
Recommend to anyone who aren't vegan and want to try something out of their regular diet, or to any vegan who has somehow managed to not give Italia a crack.
Pros: The crust, Serice, Location
Cons: No lunch !

Pizza - Edit
The pizza's pretty good. They deliver to East Nashville and downtown, so it's nice having a vegan delivery option. The falafel's alright.

great food and atmosphere - Edit
This place is fantastic! Everyone there was super friendly. We had a vegan pizza, with spinach, pineapple, and jalapenos. They put just the right amount of daiya on it, the sauce was very flavorful. Thin, whole wheat crust. We loved it! The restaurant is cute, and clean. Walls are decorated with photgraphs and posters, it was fun checking them all out. It was a relaxing atmosphere with guitar music playing- not too loudly. Really positive experience - we will be back next time we're in Nashville.

My new pizza go to! - Edit
We had been relying on Mellow Mushroom for our pizza needs (and it is great pizza) until I saw this listing on Happy Cow! Since we found it we have gotten pizzas to go three times and have been blown away every time! I like a pizza with a think crust, so it is right up my alley! The sauce is really good and the proportion of veggies to vegan cheese is just right. We've called ahead each time and by the time we get there (about 20 minutes later) our pizza has been just about ready. I couldn't be happier to find another great place for pizza in Nashville! A new favorite for sure! And you can't beat the price! We usually get a large two topping and it comes out to 12.99.
Read morePros: great pizza, reasonable price

The best pizza - Edit
My husband and I were staying in Nashville for two days and ended up having vegan pizza here both nights for dinner. It was the best vegan pizza that I have ever had! They use Teese and if you get the "drag it through the garden" pizza they put all kinds of veggies on it like broccoli, artichokes, onions, and even fresh basil. I would travel from where I live to Nashville, 9 hours, just to get this pizza. The owner is really nice too and is very proud of his vegan pizza!
Read morePros: best vegan pizza, Teese, nice staff
Cons: building is crusty

Vegan Pizza This Good in Tennessee?!! - Edit
WOW! My husband and I LOVED this place. The pizza made with Daiya was unbelievably good. I just noticed they also have Teese sticks?? I am so upset I missed them because I'm sure they would have been fabulous. There was a generous amount of Daiya on our pizza, and the crust was soft. The sauce was delicious too. It probably could have used a bit more, so I would order extra next time. I am originally from Chicago, and I would say this pizza would be able to compete with what I grew up with. I only wish I lived in Nashville so I could patronize this place at least once a week.
Read moreThe atmosphere of this place was as informal as it gets which was really enjoyable. You order at the counter and seat yourself. The soft drinks are stored in a refrigerated case. You can buy pop in 2 liter bottles or cans. The neighborhood was great too - quiet and mostly residential.
My only regret is not staying in Nashville longer so that we could have eaten here many more times and tried more stuff on the menu. I'm very intrigued by the hummus pizza. Oh! And our large pizza with mushrooms, olives, and Daiya was only TEN DOLLARS! This place is a real gem.
Pros: delicious food, great prices, fast service
Cons: not much parking
