Loved it! - Edit
Eggplant pasta was AMAZING! So simple yet sooo delicious. Vegan pizza didn't look too exciting when it arrived but it was also delicious! Lovely staff too. They informed us on arrival there would be an hour wait for food and there was, but that's totally fine and I appreciate them letting us know in advance.

Tasty Pizza - Edit
There is a vegan pizza with soy cheese and unfortunately hardly any vegetables. It was also the most expensive pizza - I think that's a bit of a shame! But it was still very tasty! So only 3 stars, but we would still come back! :)

Pretty good pizza! - Edit
It doesn’t look great from the pictures, but the pizza is pretty good! The crust is crunchy, the sauce is tasty and the vegan mozzarella is delicious! The garlic bread was good too. This place can be a life saver, since most restaurants close very early!

Good, but not exceptional - Edit
We had a Funghi Pizza which was average in terms of dough and tomato sauce. The funghi were very nice. Additionally, we had some Caprese which was nice, but rather small. Also the pizza was not really big, but as we were just after a snack and not a full meal, it was ok.

Wonderful vegan pizza - Edit
I absolutely loved the vegan pizza! Only reason I didn’t rate it 5 stars is because I save 5 star reviews for overt vegan restaurants

Surprisingly fantastic - Edit
What's not to love, pizza, pasta garlic bread and beer! Carb heaven.
Read moreBoth vegan main dishes were really enjoyable. The cheese was tasty and the staff were very friendly. Walked out very satisfied.
Happy to support businesses like this who add just a little bit of vegan cheese to the menu and make life much better for all of us.
Seats 36 apparently. We got there too early before opening, but you never know it was full when we left.
Pros: Chili oil condiment is 👌🏼, Nice pizza dough.
Cons: I didn't see any vegan desserts

Great find close to station - Edit
Lots of vegetarian choices. When we walked in we were greeted and told the food would take a while to prepare. We were not in a rush and decided to stay. Our drinks came out fast followed by our garlic bread appetizer. The pizza and pasta quickly followed. The wait time was very typical of an average American restaurant. The food was exceptional and service was friendly. It was a very nice atmosphere.

Best option for us in this area - Edit
The vegan pizza option is now labeled as vegan in the menu. They probably have had some more vegan customers, as they seemed more familiar with the concept. No new items on the menu. We ordered the pasta made vegan and pizza and the bigger salad. Salad for 3-4 persons is good for 2. Not that much proteins there, but we were happy!

Unfortunately the vegan Pizza is the most expensive one but it does taste great! Crispy Dough and creamy vegan cheese with good flavor. The salad on top was not my favorite but did not disturb really.

Great pizza! - Edit
This place had surprisingly good pizza and also some accidentally vegan side dishes. Only the pizza is labeled vegan, but the staff was very helpful and was able to confirm which other options on the menu are vegan. English menu available

Perfect! - Edit
Vegan options? Definitively!! This place was amazing. Has an English menu with a clearly listed vegan option (the pizza), as well as a modifiable eggplant pasta and mushroom pizza. We had the mushroom pizza with soy cheese and it was flippin’ awesome, as well as the eggplant pasta minus the cheese. Probably the most vegan friendly place in kawaguchiko where we were actually able to get (pretty damn good) food!
Read moreFor the 2 mains and a beer, we ended up paying about 4400 yen. Staff were also incredibly lovely - while we communicated in Japanese it did appear to have plenty of foreigners in the restaurant who didn’t seem to have trouble ordering their food so you should be A-OK to go here with 0 language knowledge and an empty belly. ❤️
Ps. Use the restroom, you won’t regret it! 😎
Pros: Mushroom pizza, Beautiful restaurant/decor, Super snazzy poopin’ facilities
Cons: Awkward couple sitting next to us

Amazing - Edit
Vegan and vegetarian options, just tell staff and they'll point out the choices. We had the vegan pizza with soy cheese, the veg spaghetti, mushrooms with vegan garlic bread and very tasty sorbet. Very friendly and helpful staff, absolutely delicious food. It's a must visit when in town. Worthy of a 5 star rating.

They still have soy cheese! - Edit
I went to this restaurant last night (April 2023) since everything else was closed and they did not disappoint! They don’t label the vegan cheese on the menu, so *you have to ask for it!* Get the fungi pizza because that’s already vegetarian and it isn’t common to be able to ask for substitutions at Japanese establishments in my experience.

Hidden vegan options - Edit
Italian restaurant with a nice atmosphere. I had a pizza fungi with vegan cheese (made with soymilk). On the menu there is no information about the vegan options of this restaurant, so please ask the staff and they will tell you a lot of vegan dishes they can create (Pasta too).

Great spot near Kawaguchiko station - Edit
There is only one clearly labelled as vegan on the Japanese menu (the English menu is outdated), but other dishes can be made vegan upon request.
Read moreTell the staff you are vegan and they will happily suggest to replace cow's milk cheese for soy cheese and meat for vegetables.
The only downturn is the long waiting. We got there 5min after the restaurant had been opened and there were no more tables available (on a Thursday night, so that's how popular the place is!).
Pros: Delicious vegan pizza, Many dishes can be made vegan upon request, Courteous staff
Cons: The queue was huge, we waited for 2 hours

We will be back! - Edit
As others have stated only a few vegan options including an off menu vegan (vegetable) pizza sans cheese, but what they do have is delicious.
Read moreI let our waitress know; “Watashitachi wa bīgan desu” (we are vegan) and she understood immediately and began listing all the items we couldn’t eat to reinforce her understanding. She did however list garlic and onion and we promptly corrected her, fortunate that we did because garlic was the hero of the dishes.
We passed on the garlic bread as it looked dry without the butter (judging from one of the photos another user posted) and instead ordered the garlic mushrooms which I didn’t see anyone else’s write about in their reviews. I double checked with the waitress it was vegan and she assured us it was. It was phenomenal. We ended up ordering a second serving! We also had the eggplant pasta which was also amazing and quite filling.
