Vegan options seem to be an afterthought

I want to start on a positive note:
I went in about 2 months after opening, on a Thursday evening, and was able to be seated right away. The place was very busy but the service was attentive. Our server was helpful in recommending the basic pizza without the parm & pecorino would be vegan and is a popular choice. I went with that and added mushrooms. Also ordered the garden salad (no cheese) to start. Service was quick and food didn’t take too long to come out.

The salad was good, lots of fresh leafy greens and the strawberries were tasty.

The pizza looked amazing. It was huge! The sourdough crust was perfect crunchy and chewy and was topped with plenty of fresh basil. However it lacked flavor and was really undersalted. I’m not usually one to add salt to my food but in this case I had to. My guess is that the restaurant really relies on their cheese - there are mountains of it on their dishes - so without cheese, the food is underseasoned. I may have felt differently had I ordered vegan cheese and/or vegan sausage, but I wanted a veggie pie, which turned out to be really underwhelming. With other similar NY style pizzerias in town, I probably won’t be back, but I wouldn’t warn someone away either.

Pros: Crust, Vegan cheese & sausage

Cons: Underseasoned, Few options
