    We read about this place and are so glad we made the trek over to Gastown to eat here. Vancouver has a huge homeless population and this place is in the heart of it. We walked and didn't drive, but I don't think I would park my car in this area. We arrived for a late lunch. There were a few other people in the restaurant. We ordered a pizza from the counter. Everything is vegan and delicious. Order came up with 25 minutes. The crust was thin and crispy. Really good stuff. The four stars is for the location. Food is five stars for sure!

    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

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

    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

    Forgot the name

    I really like this place . They have great pizza for plant based . I tried two different ones and I loved it .

    My gf was in town this week so we ate out a lot. We wanted to grab some pizza close to where I live…read moreand saw Ignite Pizzeria was rated well and had a happy hour. Went at 4pm and they were not busy at all. We opted to sit outside to enjoy the remaining good weather before the winter rains. We ordered a happy hour beer (lager) for $6 and the cheese bread for an appetizer. We ordered what the waitress recommended, half meat lovers and half Montreal smoked meats. The pizza was very tasty - crispy light crust and delicious flavorful meats. The sauce wasn't overly seasoned and was just the right amount. Very good pizza and not too expensive.

    The pizza was delicious. The crust was perfect., we ate every little piece. The red pizza sauce…read morethey use is very tasty. We tried the classic pepperoni and a Hawaiian pizza. Both were great! The crust on the Hawaiian was a little better cooked than the other, but nothing that stops you from eating it. They have one red wine that you can get a glass of, paired nice with the pizza. Indoor and outdoor seating. It's not too big a place so seating can fill up fast. The yaletown park is right outside so great place to let kids run while you socialize Nothing too fancy, just a really good pizza place. This will be a good go-to since it's in our neighborhood.

Watching plates come together and seeing what other diners ordered added an extra layer of fun that you don't get at a standard table. From our visit, the roasted mushroom pizza stood out. I loved the combination of confit garlic, fontina, and arugula pesto. It hit a nice balance of earthy, creamy, and slightly peppery, and the crust had that ideal chew with a crisp edge. We also ordered the baked Japanese sweet potato which leaned simple but satisfying. It was soft with an almost custardy texture. The pork belly with chicharron was tender but definitely one of the heavier dishes of the night. Service was excellent. Dishes arrived at a comfortable pace, and the team seemed in sync with the kitchen, which you especially notice when you're sitting right in front of it. The interior had warm lighting, clean design, and just enough buzz to feel lively without being chaotic. The restaurant is large and I would recommend for small and large groups alike! Most importantly, don't skip dessert! One of the highlights of the night for sure.

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.

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.
