I love that I can eat Vegan pizza here without Daiya cheese (yuck!). Pizza Salad offers a soy-based cheese which is very good. I also get their organic tofu added on. Yummy!
I had read about this place on happycow, and here's my PizzaSalad review.
We were driving thru this part of the 101 Freeway going to LA and made a point to stop here. It was worth it.
The place is quite nice for a pizzeria. Small, clean, relaxed, and colorful. The menu offers 2 kinds of vegan cheese: soy cheese and non-soy cheese. There's also gluten free crust.
We ordered a customized pizza and asked for half soy cheese and half non-soy cheese + some veggies. My husband liked his side (non-soy, likely Daiya brand), and I liked my side (soy, likely Follow Your Heart brand).
We also shared a big salad (vegan) with fresh organic greens, hearts of palm, walnuts, and a ginger dressing. It was delicious.
Highly recommended when in Thousand Oaks or driving through.
Pros: loads of organic veggies, 2 kinds vegan cheese, yummyWe went with the whole wheat crust and a no oil sauce plus lots of veggies. The short is perfect for two people. There have been a few attempts at organic pizza, but pizza salad does a stand up job. It seems like a bit of green washing, but the quality is superb. A larger selection of beverages and getting rid of the coca cola soda would be a step in the right direction. We were also hoping for salads on pizzas and alas you have to order them separately.
Pros: whole wheat crust, no oil optionAlthough there are no vegan meat choices, there are endless vegetables, 2 cheeses (100% casein/whey free), 3 vegan sauces and 2 vegan pizza crusts (gluten-free or whole wheat)! Their roasted eggplant tomato soup is to die for and they have a sesame tahini salad dressing which is a MUST if you try their salads. Everything is super-fresh and organic. If you're vegan and also care about eating organic, PizzaSalad is a definite YES!
Pros: Vegan Options, Knowledgeable Staff, Outdoor Patio
PizzaSalad
Thank you for your commentary. GOOD NEWS! PizzaSalad now offers vegan meat choices such as a vegan sausage and a vegan pepperoni option. See you soon!
I tried a PizzaSalad personal pizza with the Vegan cheese and a couple of vegetables (mushrooms and peppers). While it tasted good, and the cheese looked vegan (melted on top of other ingredients), about 10 minutes after I finished I experienced a discomfort as if something on it were not vegan(?). I'd be willing to try it again, but my boyfriend who is also vegan and not as sensitive to non-organic/processed food wasn't sure.
Pros: Tasted good, Reasonable prices
