Love the vegan pizza as listed on the menu. It’s fancier than what I typically go for when wanting pizza but the flavors go very well together.
The gluten free veggie pasta with vegetables is also very good. If you get the tossed salsa without cheese it’s quite large as a side to the pasta dinners.
Family owned and run business, and they are keeping up with the times. Someone in the family (the owner?) eats vegan, so they have clearly labeled vegan options, and they’re all knowledgeable and accommodating. I always ask for extra vegan Parmesan cheese with the vegan pizza…I pour that yummy deliciousness all over it. The vegan pizza is unique- it’s not just a vegetable pizza or a pizza trying to mimic a non-vegan pizza. It’s fantastic. They also deliver. Highly recommend.
If I want a vegan pizza, this is the best place to go! Their vegan pizza is amazing! They have vegan desserts as well. Personally, I've only tried the vegan cheesecake which was chocolate and pretty tasty. I've only dined in once but their service was really great and the menu prices are totally worth it and not terribly expensive compared to other pizzerias.
The pizza here is wonderful. Great spread of toppings including Dayia cheese, Beyond meat (I think it's Beyond), and vegan parm to sprinkle on top. If you don't want to think about toppings, the menu has a specialty vegan pizza that's loaded with stuff and delicious, but the pickier of vegans may not be interested. Can be a little pricy but absolutely worth it.
Service was great and the staff was informative! They have the impossible burger with a pretzel bun (i ordered with sautéed mushroom and onion and added BBQ sauce) a vegan specialty pizza (though their crust and marinara sauce are vegan so you can personalize yourself! Add daiya cheese if you prefer) a few vegan pasta options! Salad and soup options as well.
Long-time vegetarian but recently decided to try being vegan. I’ve had a hard time finding “fake” cheese that I liked, so I was skeptical. But the vegan cheese and sauce were both SOOO good! I ordered a thin-crust pizza w/vegan crust and cheese, my fav veggies, & balsamic glaze with a side of vegan Parmesan (cashew) “cheese.” Amazing!
I'm not a fan of vegan cheese so I normally get Johns vegan pizza option without. Hands down the marinara sauce is what makes this pizza amazing. Loaded with veggies and a satisfying crust. You can't go wrong.
Possibly the only Italian restaurant in Rockford that has a vegan cheese option for pizza. Fresh ingredients, and friendly staff. Also has a gluten free option. Good variety of craft beers as well!
