Serves meat, vegan options available. Italian restaurant offering vegan pizzas made with hazelnut ricotta and pesto. Open Tue-Sat 11:00am-9:00pm.
Closed Sun-Mon.
I was super excited to try this place but I found the lemon oil to make the pizza overwhelmingly oily and the ricotta cheese and pesto wayyy to salty. I was only able to eat one piece and then got a stomach ache. I may give it another chance and try the marinara but next time I’m craving pizza I’m going to make the trip to Portland.
The menu doesn't have vegan options labeled, but the staff was able to answer which ones were vegan as offered (the pesto and the marinara) as well as the ones that could easily be made vegan by subbing their hazelnut ricotta for the dairy cheese. We did that with the mushroom pizza, which was very good. Also got the pesto. I thought that was a little strong on the lemon but still was good. One upside for a cold day is that they have the large woodfired oven in the middle of the restaurant, so it's very cozy and warm inside.
Good pizza but could use more vegan options - Edit
This place was on my radar ever since I read a piece on Eater Portland about restaurants in Vancouver worth getting out of Portland for (high bar, I know). I finally made the trip. The food was pretty good; the crust was solid, but there was only one vegan option on the menu. I do agree with the review below that they were too generous with the pesto that it became a little overpowering as I nommed on the pizza. I also learned from the very friendly staff that they do have another vegan pizza off the menu with wild mushrooms and the same hazelnut cheese. I'll be sure to ask for it next time!
They only have 1 purely vegan pizza and it’s the Pesto Pizza. They have hazelnut spread which is really good, but I felt like the pizza had too much Pesto on it. If I went back I’d order the Pesto Pizza with “light on the Pesto”
Excellent Vegan Pesto and Hazelnut Riccotta - Edit
When you walk in, it is a little difficult to distinguish what is vegan and what isn't, since you wouldn't expect a Ricotta and Pesto pizza to be automatically vegan, but it is! Their doughs are delicious, fired in a brick oven right in the center of the restaurant.
They also serve sandwiches some days of the week, where they also will carry a vegan option on the menu.

Vegetarian options - Edit
Had pretty decent vegetarian options and a lot of interesting toppings. The dough and sauce were really good.
