Margherita Pizza
Yojna J.

I've never had a vegan pizza as good as this one. They are skilled and know what they're doing. I had never been here before. Amazing ambiance. I adored the fact that they have large booths in the dining room and seats farther out on their patio garden. I chose to get the traditional Margherita pizza, tandoori chicken and the forager. The pizzas were flavorful and delectable. In all honesty, the dairy and cheese on the pizza are not really missed. The pizza's crust was excellent and not at all soggy. The service was good. In addition, I ordered a pint of the outstanding vanilla bean ice cream to go. In conclusion, I strongly recommend Virtuous Pie and plan to go back to try more pizzas and foods on the menu.

Very delicious lemonade

I love this place! The workers are very friendly and warm, the food and lemonade is DELICIOUS and the welcome vibe to it all really brings it together. Really recommend if your stopping by Chinatown.

The hot honey glaze on the pepperoni pizza? Incredible!
Breton K.

Possibly the best food of my life. I ate until I was physically ill. It hurt to walk for hours (due to volume consumed on my part only) and it was worth it. The vegan pepperoni was amazing. We are still talking about it. The staff was so patient and kind, the kitchen and bathroom were immaculate. I managed restaurants for years and I have never been so impressed. We will absolutely be coming up from Seattle just for this restaurant again. And don't get me started on the dessert, the hot brownie with ice cream? It's like I'd never had a brownie before. Absolutely amazing and we will be back!

I have never had vegan pizza before, but this was a good first experience! While it's not 100% like the traditional pizza - it's not bad at all. The pizzas did need additional cheese, but the pepperoni and meat substitutes were very good. The wait was a bit long for the food, but I attribute that mainly to the vegan cheese likely being harder to melt. The design of the restaurant is fairly generic, but does not detract from the food or experience at all.

Margherita pizza

Very friendly and fast service and supremely delicious plant based food. Def coming back before we leave Victoria

Gluten free margherita pizza and Moroccan salad
Aman G.

There are so many great dining options in Victoria but this one shined the most to me. Excellent gluten free pizza, super friendly staff & on top of that, all vegan menu. The menu is limited but we didn't mind that because the quality of each dish was so high and everything was super fresh. Our favorites were the Margherita pizza, Moroccan salad and gluten free house made waffle cone with their hazelnut ice cream. My kids were not able to discern that they had an all vegan dinner and dessert and that's typically not possible. My gluten free pizza was the best I've had! The gentleman working at the bar was so nice and offered great suggestions.

You had me at Pizza but stole my heart at EVERYTHING is vegan! So many great foodie finds in Victoria, but none quite as inviting to many and all as this gastropub like pizzeria known as Virtuous Pie. The decor, lighting and even the bathrooms are all tres cool! I was in a group of three (pre-quarantine) and we went a little booze with so many signature drink options (such as the Green Space) and even more heavy with the pizza party so much so that we even got one to go... For "starters" we started off with the Garlic Knots and a Mac & Cheese Skillet... If you have nothing else you MUST try both. The Cashew Mac was the best I've have... I didn't know if I wanted to kiss or slap the chef because of all the joy these dishes brought us. The garlic ranch paired beyond well with those savory knots and enrich the flavors. The Sweet Pepper + Sausage, Street Corn and Ultraviolet were superb! What they do with plant based eats is on another level. The combination of natural herbs, spices, plant based protein, non-dairy cheeses with nuts and/or veggies will leave you mouth agaped for months to come. Our server was incredible too! While I'm plant based, my dinning chums were not, but love food and really appreciate good vegan eats. She answered every question including the types of cheeses and dietary options they offer. The only thing I regret not trying was dessert aka ice cream! We we just too full and on a savory high. They rotate in new signature drinks often, but I was lucky enough to enjoy the caramel colada (4yr rum, pineapple, horchata, lime and of course caramel). When we got our togo pie... The Pesto CBR (also we had some left over Street Corn)... we snacked into the we hours of the night and continued our party back home [Card Against Humanity and more dranks]. I didn't realize this was a chain, but can't imagine a better one than the V.P. of V, BC. If Virtuous Pie was open later we might have spent the remainder of or night and vacay there.... (Dangerously Delicious)... I really hope to return in the future... So if you stop in... Try some for me... And tell us about it O.O Insert drooling emjois here!

My cruise ship stopped in Victoria and all I wanted was this pizza and ice cream! Worth it!!

Forager, Stranger Wings, Kale Caesar Salad
Issabelle F.

Being from Vancouver, I am a big, big, big fan of Virtuous Pie. So when I was in Victoria for the weekend, I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon a Virtuous Pie here. The hardest part about ordering from Virtuous Pie is deciding on which pizza you want. We opted to split the Stranger Wings (a fan favourite), the Forager, and a kale caesar salad. This was my first time eating the Forager, and I'm so excited that this is now on my radar, because I loved the walnut and arugula pesto with caramelized onions so much. The Stranger Wings has also always been a favourite of mine. The buffalo cauliflower and vegan blue cheese just hits home with me. I'm so happy to know that when I visit the Island, that I can get my Virtuous Pie fix here now. If you're looking for a healthy, vegan, lighter alternative to most pizza places, VP is your spot. I promise you'll have zero regrets.

Local Pizza - BBQ Chicken ($3.19 per slice): tangy and tasty!

Local Pizza

(4 reviews)

I don't know if the Victoria one is the same as the Duncan one. But IF it is. Hear me out:…read moreWe were visiting Duncan from Vancouver for a week and we decided on this pizza based on reviews. Let me tell you that it was not an easy decision because the reviews gave us such mixed signals but we decided to just go for it and order from LOCAL pizza (in Duncan. Reviews for Duncan one not available on yelp for some reason) WOW! We were super super impressed how good it was. The butter chicken pizza was perfectly sauced and flavoured. Out of a group of 7 of us every single one of us agreed that was some of the best pizza we have had in a long time if not the best. People's reviews compared it to fresh slice, it's much much better than that. I think if you're basic and like pepperoni pizza then it's possible it's mediocre I can't speak to that flavour but other flavours were delicious. Asides from butter chicken we also got the loaded and the not so Hawaiian bbq chicken. All super good! I would say it's a lil above panago level. Obviously it's not wood oven Italian style pizza but it's really good. Just keep in mind the style of pizza you're ordering and the flavour and I think with that in mind it can be a great pizza for you. Ps do not order from apps just call the pizza place and order you save quite a bit of money and it's better for the business too. Again really impressed with this pizza and next time we're in town will buy from them again 100%!

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE This review based solely on multiple…read morevisits purchasing one or two pizzas by the slice for my little guy: it's been consistently good, especially if you don't need or want a whole pizza! === 2. FOOD Pizza by the slice: $3.19 My little guy likes chicken, so we keep getting the BBQ Chicken or the Tandoori Chicken slices from the front display. Both are good without being too oily. There are typically a variety of pizzas in the front counter available to purchase by the slice, from vegetarian to Hawaiian, to meat lovers, etc. They heat up the slices briefly before serving them to you. === 3. SERVICE It's always been fast and professional; kudos go to the team there. They are likely told to upsell making your order a drink combo, which is fine, but something we've not done, though it seems like many other patrons do. === 4. ENVIRONMENT Because it's the Hillside Centre food court, you're treated to plenty of space in a modern-esque environment, able to bring groups large and small, as well as any wheelchairs and baby strollers. Parking in the mall parking lot outside should not be an issue either, even during the after-school rush.

Just another excellent evening with the restaurant folks! This time, finding the place was easier…read more(it's off a back alley). Got there just when they opened and got a prime seating near (but not to near) one of the fireplaces (they have several italian brick style). The restaurant has many twists and turns creating many wonderful dining alcoves. Very inviting to sit and talk. So on a cold December evening we both had the Polo Appollonia; a wonderful mixture of garlic, bacon, and cheesey pasta. But the real star of the meal were the appetizers! Amazing tasting tomato soup, and the insalata caprese. The salad had a large portion of crisp tomatoes served with like a half pound of real homemade buffalo mozzarella, and lots of fresh basil. Almost a meal. The waiter was very helpful in selections of the food and some wine. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Vancouver Island.

Delicious food, fantastic bread, friendly staff. We've come…read morehere for our birthdays twice and we've been so happy with the experience each time. The bread is literally incredible, we order an extra basket because it is so good. We ordered the mussels this time and the sauce was insanely good. The extra bread was necessary to soak up the sauce when we were done. We also split the carbonara which was also very good, the steak was cooked perfectly. Also appreciated the extra considerate touch with the blankets in the colder area of the restaurant.
