HUGE vegan menu!! - Edit
A non-veg friend brought me here and I went reluctantly thinking there would be like three sad little vegan options. But omg! Their vegan menu is absolutely gigantic.
Read moreThey have vegan versions of all sorts of classic American-Italian dishes, and then some more. There is pizza, pasta, sandwiches, salad, empanadas, dessert, soup etc and etc!
Portions are good size and prices are reasonable. My friend also ordered from the vegan menu and enjoyed his food.
Definitely stop by if you’re in the area.

The best vegan pizza I’ve ever had - Edit
This place has the best vegan cheese I’ve ever tried. Seriously recommend all their pizzas.
Read moreI also tried the soup of the day and it was also really tasty.
I’ve eaten at many vegan-friendly spots around the world but this one is seriously one of my new favorites 😋😋
Pros: The amazing vegan cheese!!!!

I now recommend - Updated review at end - Edit
Two out of three experiences at this place have been bad, the third being ridiculously terrible. The first time I ordered a plain vegan pizza online and arrived at the restaurant thirty minutes later to pick it up. I then waited 45 minutes because they got their orders mixed up and forgot all about me as I sat literally facing the counter waiting extremely patiently. When I finally got my order and ate it i was not impressed at all. The cheese they used was disgusting. The second experience was much better, and quicker without any mix ups. I ordered the broccoli cheddar and house made vegan chicken calzone. It was huge and pretty good except the vegan chicken was kind of odd. It’s like it melted inside the calzone... I ate it all and the vegan apple pie empanada which was pretty damn amazing. Finally the third experience made me decide to possibly never go back. My exgirlfriend and I dined in and ordered the chicken cutlet dinner, chicken parm sandwich, vegan cannolis, and apple pie empanada. We waited and waited for probably 45 minutes and watched as many other also waited. Orders were being mixed up left and right and finally when our order was brought to the table it was completely wrong. They gave us meat versions of what we asked for even though we specifically stated vegan and pointed to the items in the vegan section of the menu. Then we waited some more as the server brought another wrong order to the table, and then another, and finally some vegan food that we decided to deal with but was not fully what we originally ordered. Besides the terrible service, the vegan chicken was like a breadcrumb patty, mushy and falls apart easily. This place has literally given me the worst dining experience ever which is why I gave it two stars!
Read moreUpdate 1: I returned for some reason and i didn’t regret it. I have to admit their grandma pie is delicious! one of the best vegan pies in north jersey. I also had a couple empanadas which were ok. The service dramatically improved but maybe because it wasn’t dinner time rush. the dining area is a lot nicer and more welcoming and they now have vegan slice pies at the counter so you don’t have to buy a whole pie.
I also returned during dinner hours and still received great service! The vegan chicken cutlet dinner was amazing! The vegan chicken is made from chickpeas and it had a good texture to it. a bit on the brown side but tasted great.
i’m now giving them 4 stars and it’s one of my favorite places to order from!

Phenomenal and Nostalgic - Edit
As someone who grew up in New Jersey, take out Italian food is just so nostalgic for me. So when I found out that near my grandparents house is an Italian restaurant with plentiful vegan options i was sold!
Read morePizzanada did not disappoint. My wife and I got the penne vodka, lasagna, grandma pizza and vegan cannoli. Everything was not only delicious, but unbelievably delicious! I was brought back to being a kid late on a Friday night eating penne vodka and watching Golden Girls. Probably cuz that's what I'm literally doing right now lol!
We also had a little bit of a confusing moment there where the name that was on our ticket was not the name that I go by. Just a classic email/ name mixup. It got kind of stressful for a second, but they handled it with a lot of grace and poise and patience and were super friendly about everything. They even checked to make sure everything was vegan! That kind of customer service cements me customer, as long as they keep those standards high.
100% chance that I'm going back as soon as humanly possible.

A Journey Through Pizzanada's Menu - Edit
This review has been a long time coming, and I can honestly say that Pizzanada has become one of my absolute favorite spots since I first discovered it last fall. As a vegan, I've had the pleasure of exploring many of their abundant vegan options, each leaving me thoroughly satisfied. What's even more impressive is that Pizzanada caters equally well to both vegans and non-vegans, making it a perfect place for all.
Read moreVEGAN HIGHLIGHTS:
1. EGGPLANT GRANDMA PIE ($24.95): A true delight, featuring eggplant cutlets, marinara, vegan mozzarella, and basil. The combination of textures and flavors in every mouthful is simply phenomenal. The sheer enjoyment I experienced with this dish stretched over multiple days.
2. EMPANADAS: Two empanadas that particularly stood out were the Mac & Cheese Empanada (often available on a 2 for $5 special), a delightful fusion of softness and crunch, and the Nutella, Strawberry, and Banana Empanada ($5), which served as a perfect sweet ending to the meal.
3. VEGAN PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH ($15.95): Loaded with chunks of savory vegan steak, melted cheese, peppers, and onions, this sandwich hit all the right spots. I opted for a side of vegan blue cheese, which only enhanced the overall goodness of this sandwich.
While the above dishes hold a special place in my heart, there are a couple of others that, while good, didn't quite reach the same level:
1. PLAIN VEGAN PIZZA ($16.95): The flavorful sauce and well-cooked crust are commendable, but the vegan cheese could use some improvement, occasionally presenting a sticky and chewy texture. Nevertheless, when topped with additional ingredients, I found it makes the pizza more enjoyable.
2. VEGAN TRIPLE DECKER MELTED REUBEN SANDWICH ($15.95): Filled with vegan pastrami, Russian dressing, and vegan gouda cheese, this sandwich had potential. However, it leaned towards the saltier side, which somewhat detracted from the overall enjoyment. Additionally, the fries were a bit soggy (which I know often happens to fries during the delivery process).
3. VEGAN BANANA WALNUT CAKE ($8): While the taste was enjoyable, I found it to be slightly overpriced for a dessert, and I was surprised by the cost when I checked it after getting home.
If you're in the area, Pizzanada is a must-visit destination. I can't wait to slowly make my way through the rest of their scrumptious vegan creations - this place has truly won me over!
Pros: Abundant Vegan Options, Delicious Pizza, Friendly Service
Cons: Higher Price Point, Especially for desserts

Tons of vegan options - Edit
Most Omni places that have vegan options have the usual stuff, but this place has things like vegan fried lasagna. Ok, so it’s not the healthiest, but delicious and different. Also, the manager was so kind and they also had a whole fridge full of vegan desserts.

So many options! - Edit
Wow! We were pleasantly surprised at the number of vegan options! Gina was not only warm and friendly, but truly excited about the offerings, especially the newest ones not yet on the menu. There are all the traditional pizzeria dishes that have been veganized as well as a long list of both savory and sweet empanadas. Even if you avoid Impossible meat alternatives as we do, there are still a ton of food choices. We tried the crabcakes, eggplant fries, a slice of pizza and an Italian hot dog empanada! Sauces and dips were top notch and well paired with the food. Empanada dough is light; filling is plentiful.
Read moreWith a long list of vegan desserts available, we chose to bring home the double choc chip cookies (great fudgy choice).
A bit pricey, but they deserve 5 stars
for effort!

Amazing but pricey - Edit
I would suggest picking up instead of getting delivery because the pizza came cold. But after heating it back up I could not tell a difference between dairy cheese and their vegan cheese. Delish! Also they upcharge a lot for vegan anything, like double the price for they’re sandwiches. But I would eat here again just because it tastes amazing.
Read morePros: Big variety of vegan choices, Tastes out of this world
Cons: Big vegan upcharge, Comes cold when delivered

Nice Staff, Good in a pinch. - Edit
The Staff at Pizzanada is great. Very kind and helpful. The food is hit or miss. I think it's pretty over-price for what you get. The vegan personal pizza is decent. French fries are crispy if you get them there, but if delivery, usually they are soggy before they get to you. Mostly a pizza joint, hence the name. The salads are large portions but nothing spectacular. I order from them when I get bored of ordering from my usual spots. Also - they dont use door dash, but have an app that you order from their site that is through a different kind of door dash. Foods too expensive for the quality in my opinion, but it's not terrible. Their country fried chicken dish is pretty good. It's thanksgiving style but it's almost $30....just pricey.

Surprisingly great! - Edit
After seeing some of the reviews on here, I was hesitant but we went to try it out ourselves and I have to say the service was excellent, the food was absolutely delicious. I left with leftovers because the entree portions are HUGE!! And looking at the vegan menu you just want to try everything. I’m pretty sure they use Esti for their cheese. The chicken they use tasted house made with chickpeas but absolutely delicious. Would certainly come back!!

Hit or Miss - Edit
This place opened just a few blocks from my house, and we were super excited to have a new local place that had a separate, full vegan menu. Great option when ordering for our extended family, who are not vegan. Our first order from them took an extremely long time to be delivered—over an hour and a half—and arrived cold, despite us being literally 5 blocks away. The driver was extremely apologetic and we forgave all this after eating the delicious vegan calzone that was delivered. We found the dessert empanadas just ok. The Apple was definitely the best. My husband absolutely loves the Vegan Meatball Sub.
Read moreStay away from anything that has the vegan “chicken”. It is some kind of fried breadcrumb thing that falls apart upon gazing at it, never mind trying to eat it.
The pizza, calzones, and pasta dishes are usually done well and are tasty when (if) delivered hot.
We have ordered about a dozen times. Every time there is something wrong or missing from the order. I have food allergies, so this usually results in me waiting for an hour for food and not being able to eat it. The mistakes are just ridiculous, too. Wrong items that are not anything close to what we ordered.
Pros: Vegan Italian delivery, Separate full vegan menu
Cons: Inconsistent quality, Long delivery times, Frequent mistakes in orders

Great vegan options - Edit
I’ve had a few vegan pizzas and a variety of the vegan empanadas. They have all been very good at filling the void of my previously favorite comfort foods.
Read moreI have always received the vegan versions of my food, but at least once it was not quite what I ordered, so I simply give it a quick check before leaving now (generally order pick up).
From what I have noticed personally, when they aren’t super busy it runs perfectly, but I have been there when it was slammed (Friday night) and it can be complete chaos (I’d like to think they were still training new employees at the time)
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Tasty
Cons: A bit expensive, Order might need to be verified correct

Unreal - Edit
I can’t explain my excitement that I had when I found a place with real vegan pizza and entree items that was a few towns over and I could get it delivered. I gave them 3 chances. They randomly substitute stuff they don’t have with things that make no sense at all and are less expensive menu items.
Read moreThe last and final straw was when I ordered a vegan Buffalo chicken pizza and they provided us with a real cheese, real chicken version. I was LIVID. God forbid you have an allergy.
The staff was not wearing masks in the height of covid and one of the owners went on a full on Trump rant about how New Jersey vegans hate them because they like Trump related pages on Instagram. Hey, guess what? I don’t care about any of that. Pay better attention to what people are ordering and get it correct.
It’s just stupid. Do better.
Pros: Vegan options
Cons: You pay for vegan items and then get real meat

Love the pizza - Edit
Best vegan pizza I’ve had! I ordered with vegan pepperoni and it looks and tastes like real pepperoni. So happy to have a local pizzeria that offers vegan options. They also offer cookies and brownies and I bought the brownie they had that day and it was alright. This is gonna be my pizza spot from now on. 🥵
