Where to get Vegan Pizza in Waterloo Region
Friday night pizza!
If you’re anything like me, by the time Friday night rolls around the last thing you want to do is cook!
To start the weekend off right, we always get take-out on Friday nights! It’s not always pizza but it’s definitely in our rotation.
Thankfully, being vegan doesn’t mean giving up pizza! There are many options for pizza in Waterloo Region.
Here are a few of our favourite places to get pizza:
Score Pizza — Individual sized pizzas so everyone can order what they want and don’t have to pick off what they don’t like! Best part…unlimited toppings for 1 price, so you can load up on all those veggies! The pizzas are stone fired and they use fresh, quality ingredients. When you ‘build your own pizza’ you can choose from different sauces. I always get the traditional red sauce but my husband likes a little spice so he goes for the spicy red sauce!
Those Pizza Guys — lots of vegetarian options but you can make any pizza vegan by substituting vegan cheese (for an extra $1). No online ordering but you can call (they are very friendly) and place your order over the phone. Their pizzas are wood fired and are individually sized (10 inches). They have a basic menu on their website but check their instagram @thosepizzaguys for weekly feature pizzas.
Pizza Nova — they have a menu section called ‘Plant-based Pepperoni’. There are many options but they all have regular cheese so when you order make sure to click ‘modify’ and choose dairy-free cheese. I ordered my pizza with whole-wheat dough and I didn’t love it. I prefer the regular dough.
Wineology — Great place for wine and cheese but very limited vegan menu! In fact, the only thing on their menu for us vegans, is pizza! I ordered the ‘make your own pizza’, with vegan cheese. They use Daiya cheeze, which is quite common in restaurants. I find it a bit too sticky and should have ordered light cheese. You get to choose 4 toppings for $19. The crust is thin and crispy (which I liked) and I thought they used the right amount of toppings!
Panago Pizza — We usually order from here when the kids have friends over. They have personal sized pizzas, as well as small, medium and large. Panago has a separate section with plant-based pizzas and they all have dairy-free Daiya cheeze. So no need to modify! Of course if you don’t like any of the pre-set options you can ‘create your own’. We usually order the Plant-based Cheezy Bread as well! Our non-vegan guests have said they can’t even tell the difference.
Papa Joe’s Pizzeria — We’ve only ordered from here once and we enjoyed it. The small sized pizza is more than enough for 1 person. It’s ‘create your own’ for the vegan option and you pay extra for each topping. The vegan cheese is very creamy and I didn’t find it sticky at all. They don’t have online ordering and they didn’t deliver to our neighbourhood but you can call and check if you are in their delivery area. Otherwise pick-up was fairly easy for us.
