Excellent vegan options - Edit
The drinks menu also includes a mini version of the regular menu with just their vegan options, and there are a lot of them. There's a gluten-free menu too if that's a concern for you.
Read moreWhen ordering online, there's a section of the menu just for vegan items which doesn't even include any non-vegan toppings in the selection list. The only problem is the online ordering doesn't include their vegan pepperoni; I get around that by ordering a different premium topping and adding a note to sub the pepperoni for it.
As of November-ish they switched from Daiya cheese to Numu, which is rather unsettlingly similar to dairy cheese. It's great once you get used to it, but I was nervous eating it at first!

Also see reviews for the Crown Point location. Overall they have many good vegan options.
Read moreThis visit I had the Hot Box calzone. Calzone comes as a large ring & about 1/4 is just crust no filling. Still quite large though. I didn't love this choice, but I'm not a fan of many vegan cheeses. I requested lite on the cheese, but will opt for 0 vegan cheese next time. This is just my personal preference so I still gave 4 stars. Service was really great 👍

More to choose from than most places - Edit
The vegan menu is a decent size. I built my own pizza and my companion had a menu-based pizza. There are appetizer options too. The cheeze is NOT Daiya, so it’s pretty melty and tasty. We hungry travelers were glad to find this place! The beer menu is top notch. Hubby was delighted to drink a brew he’d had in Copenhagen.

Solid vegan pizza - Edit
Ordered and picked up the Fresh Prince Pizza. It was a solid B but was hoping for a little more flavor. Would definitely try another pie as they have several vegan options.

Pizza with a punch! - Edit
Had never been there before but recently heard about their vegan menu. I was amazed to see ALL THE OPTIONS! I chose the Fresh Prince and I have to say it was amazing. The flavors were just enough punch to make it interesting. Ate well over half the 10 inches all by myself! My non vegan friends shared the vegan dough nuts with me and those were good as well.
Read morePros: Many vegan choices, large vegan menu, Excellent tasting
Cons: The dough nuts were just good. Not great

Solid Vegan Options - Edit
Solid options to make many items vegan. Also have a vegan menu in the tap list book! They have vegan cheese for pizza and a couple types of tofu, including buffalo! FYI, bartender said the Jerk Tofu has dairy in it, so avoid that.

First time here! - Edit
I went here for the first time with some friends about a week ago. I ordered the donuts for an appetizer and I didn't specify vegan since I didn't know there was a difference! They brought them out covered in parmesan, and when I asked if they were vegan, she told me no, I had to ask for vegan ones specifically. She graciously brought me a new order of vegan ones at no extra charge! I love the atmosphere here, great wall hangings! The wait staff was very accommodating, and the hot box calzone was perfect!
Read morePros: Separate vegan menu with a good amount of options.

Awesome Vegan Pizza! - Edit
This place is great. You can create your own masterpiece of a vegan pizza. Choose the type of sauce base, get vegan cheese, choose from a long list of vegan toppings. The staff is overall very educated in vegan ordering. When I ask for vegan cheese they always say, "So should we not brush the crust with butter and leave off the parmesan?". Exactly. Also, you can build tour own HUGE vegan salad. You can make a vegan calzone or hoagie. Microbrews on draft. Its awesome.
Read moreFun to watch them making the pizzas and throwing the crusts in the air.
They have another location in Valparaiso, IN at 2310 LaPorte Ave which is equally stellar.
