    The food was simply fantastic and everyone was so sweet and helpful. We ordered two vegan pizzas and loved every bite!

    Thank you so much for creating another epic vegan pizza joint in the city! Sister to the Caveman Cafe (also excellent), VCC offers homemade and delicious tasting pizzas! Located in Gastwon/Tinstletown, the place seats few but serves many! The pizza's are homemade, with 3 different crusts options (2 which are GF - casava or nut based). I ordered half Pesto Prana (sauted broccoli, cashew ricotta on pesto sauce) and half Freaky Greeky (cashew, feta, garlic, tomato, olives, red onion, crushed walnuts on pesto) and was pumped to see how big it was! Add a side of ranch and this pizza blew my mind! It was so delicious and very flavorful. I almost cried! Unlike Virtuos Pie, which is equally good, this place offers up more pizza like pizzas (does that make sense?). Vegan meats, dayia cheese (as well as homemade) and fresh ingredients. I also added a cheese cake for dessert and it was, by far, the best dessert I have had in a long time! The service was also impeccable. They were fast and the efficient and the server was extremely sweet! I 100% recommend this place! It's going to be a huge hit - vegan or not!

    My go-to here! Pretty delish. I've had this a number of times and always remember loving it. This time, it came with daiya cheddar on top of the house-made ricotta (I can't remember if it always came this way! The menu, as well as other photos I've seen of the pizza, have mozzarella, not cheddar) Again, still a good pizza but not as good as I remember pre-COVID.

    I tried their pizza which was unique but delicious. If you're expecting Ny style or Pizza Hut this isn't for you, but it was delicious. I also did a salad another day and it was fresh and nourishing. Staff was friendly. Location close to the stream clock and other walkable things. Prices aren't cheap but fair.

    What a great place to have vegan pizza! I am amazed with all the flavors and the crust is just the yummiest! I've got their Freaky Greeky pizza. It's a pesto based pizza topped with cashew feta, garlic, tomato, olives and red onion. The pizza is loaded with ingredients, I enjoyed it so much I can't wait to order it again! I highly recommend this place, would choose their pizza any day without thinking twice! Friendly staff and great service.

    Whoa, this place is amazing, for vegans and non-vegans alike!! It's hard to find spots that do vegan pizza let alone do it well :). I'm continually wowed by the vegan options in Vancouver. You can tell that the owner and folks who work here really put a ton of thought into the menu, ingredients, and recipes - it shows. To start, they offer three different varieties of crusts made fresh and in house: Nutty Almond (gluten free!), Casava (gluten free too), and organic wheat. I love how they have figured out how to support all dietary restrictions :). The menu is varied and interesting - sure to satisfy every palate, and you can choose which crust you would like as well as build your own pizza entirely if you aren't feeling the options. We decided to go with the Bombay Badboy and the Buffalo Buddha. On to the food! The Buffalo Buddha was the star here holy moly! The vegan blue cheese was seriously unreal - it tasted just like the real thing. The wheat crust was the perfect thickness. It also had chickpeas on it which I honestly would have never thought to put on pizza but it works so so well! The "chicken" was made out of jackfruit and delicious! They had definitely marinated it in buffalo sauce to make it super flavorful. I haven't had the best experience with jackfruit prior to this, but they did it well! Highly recommend ordering a side of their vegan ranch sauce to dip into because it worked really well with this pizza! Also, the vegan tapioca based mozzarella was equally unreal - I don't get how they achieve that melt! The Bombay Badboy was also really good, although we personally preferred the Buffalo Buddha more :). The Chipotle Cilantro sauce they had on top was so tasty. I loved the concept of an Indian-flavored pizza. With this one, we got a side of the Jalapeño Garlic sauce and I enjoyed the pairing, but I also love spicy food :). Overall, the pizzas, homemade crusts, vegan cheese, and vegan sauces were outstanding! But to make things even better we ordered their cheesecake for dessert. WHOA it was so good! I'm not a vegan and I honestly couldn't tell it didn't have dairy. It was so fresh and fluffy. We devoured the whole thing. You gotta get it. This place is the bomb! Highly recommend going here, whether you are vegan or not, because the flavors and creativity will wow you :). Oh, and it's a smaller establishment, with casual seating - the perfect cozy environment. Enjoy!!

    The best vegan pizza I've ever had! The delito pizza was amazing and so were the staff! Abraham and the other staff were so helpful, kind and gave such great recommendations. Also, the desserts are so good! Def try the New York cheesecake and chocolate Banana cake. Really nice staff and very knowledgeable!! (The mozzarella cheese was so good!)

    I'm no vegan but that doesn't stop me from venturing out and enjoying the many vegan delicacies that exist. Including pizza. I was astonished how good pizza could be without meat. It tasted amazing and felt super healthy, using ingredients for the crust such as almond flour. Usually I feel really bloated and unhealthy after eating regular pizza, but I didn't have that feeling with Vegan Cave Cafe's pizza.

    Stopped by this cafe for a late night dinner. Food and service were amazing! Tasty vegan pizzas

    Cory D.

    My favourite vegan spot in the Lower Mainland. I've been coming here for a while now and the food is always fresh, tasty and healthy! The service is always quick and served with a smile. There truly is a charm about this place and I recommend that anyone, vegan or not, give them a try. Personal favourite is the Pesto Prana pizza with the almond crust and the vegan ranch for dipping! yummy

    Samsara Sausage Pizza

    So delicious I got the Samsara Sausage, definitely will come back next time in in vancouver! Staff was very friendly and very comfortable atmosphere

    Nightingale - Mushroom Pizza

    Ambiance & setting: A+ Service: excellent…read more Food: amazing We ordered: 1. Beef tartare ($28) 2. Brussel sprouts ($18) 3. Truffle mushroom pizza ($28) 4. Fried chicken ($24) surprisingly really good, and probably one of the best fried chicken I've ever had. It sounds basic, but the honey glazed flavor was amazing. 5. Lobster spaghetti ($65) 6. Wagyu steak ($65) 7. Lemon tart ($16) 8. Pot de crème ($14) Everything was worth getting, but I'd probably skip the tartare next time. Overall, great food at a cute dinner spot with beautiful high ceilings, candlelight's, and a nice bar.

    Nightingale is from the owners of Hawksworth, which I thought was a very good but not necessarily…read moregreat restaurant, but I really like Nightingale. It's a two-story space off of Hastings with a bar downstairs that has table seating and a somewhat quieter upstairs dining area where the kitchen is. I prefer the upstairs area, but both are fine. Don't be misled by the fact that reservations for the bar don't mean that you have to sit at the bar. It could mean anywhere in the downstairs area. The menu is a combination of surprisingly upscale food and straightforward dishes such as pizza, but the pizza is just not ordinary pizza, even though it's reasonably priced. In fact, it's one of the best pizzas in Vancouver. The appetizers are varied and extraordinary. We had the hamachi, which let the fish shine through, and the kanpachi, which was a complex preparation that we particularly enjoyed. Another surprise was the cauliflower hummus, which was much more layered and intricate than you might expect. Service was excellent, and there is a thoughtful wine list plus an enormous selection of liquors such as whiskies and even Amaro. In fact, they have tasting flights of different whiskies and Amaro, which I always particularly appreciate.

    Stopped by Nook on Denman Street for a casual Italian comfort food dinner…read more The Food The kitchen turns out straightforward, well-executed classics. We shared a pizza and the Rigatoni Boscaiola. The pizza crust had great leopard-spotting and a chewy, blistered edge, with the tomato sauce tasting bright and fresh rather than sugary. The rigatoni was cooked properly al dente, catching plenty of that savory, creamy mushroom-and-sausage sauce. It's thoroughly satisfying, though like many rich pasta dishes, the sauce leans on the heavier, saltier side toward the last few bites. We finished with a slice of their house tiramisu, which was airy, nicely soaked with espresso, and not overly sweet. The Service Lively, attentive, and down-to-earth. The staff handled the dinner rush smoothly, we were greeted warmly, menus were dropped right away, and wine recommendations were casual and honest. Even with a queue forming near the door, we never felt aggressively pushed out, though the pacing of the plates is definitely brisk. The Ambiance Snug, energetic, and very much a classic West End neighborhood joint. It's a tight room with warm lighting, rustic wood accents, and a bustling open kitchen/bar area that fills the space with good cooking aromas. Because tables are packed closely together, the noise level climbs quickly once the room fills up, so it feels more vibrant and buzz-y than quiet and intimate.

    Woefully sub-average. It is best I can describe this place…read more Entered the place on a Monday afternoon whilst three East Indian men chillaxing in the dining area. They quickly jumped at my presence and returned to their stations as if they're caught slacking off. First idea was to order a deep dish but a few moments later upon entry I decided otherwise. I opted for 2 slices and a pop. Meatloaf and cheese. The sever didn't bother to warm them. They were dry and like old pizzas. Taste is okay/sub/average considering the price but very unlikely I will return.

    Ordered two pizzas from here on Uber Eats…read more My friend and I wanted to check out the local deep dish scene, and this seemed to be one of the few places that offered it, so we decided to give it a try. I didn't have very high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised by the pizzas here. They offer a variety of veggie and meat pizzas that can be made with regular crust or deep dish style. We ordered a small deep dish margharita ($19.99) and a medium deep dish butter chicken ($23.99) pizza. Both weren't true deep dish pizzas, but the crust was nice and thick. I'd recommend the pizzas here to anyone who likes a breadier crust. My only minor complaint is that the pizzas didn't have enough sauce to complement the thick crust. The pizzas kept well for leftovers too. They tasted just as good the next day heated up in our toaster oven.
