Bland - Edit
My husband liked his non vegan pizza but mine was completely bland. Got the vegan classic flip pizza. No salt or spice on anything, marinara sauce was bland and thin, the only flavor came from the garlic knots...with raw garlic on top😡Really cheap oil soaked into the knots.

Nice chill spot for mixed groups! - Edit
From the minute we walked the vibe was great! The servers were pleasant and gave us time to figure out what we wanted. The vegan options for pizza were excellent but the winner for me was the hummus ...SO GOOD! Will definitely be back.

Great options - Edit
Love this place for its options and pizzas are amazing. You can always choose to ‘build your own‘ if the menu items don’t appeal. The space has a relaxed vibe and service has always been good.

Okay - Edit
I love that they have a full vegan menu and have put a lot of thought into it but I thought the food was just okay. My drink was excellent and I liked the divey ambience and the servers.

Cheap mentality - Edit
Food is good, but very cheap mentality toward customers. If I'm buying a $25 pie, is asking for two small containers of Parmesan too much? I requested two since the large pie is quite large and one container doesn't cut it, and I was denied! A few weeks ago, same question and the lady just gave me two. I even shared the logic that if you get the regular, one should be enough, but since the pie is large, I would have preferred two. I decided to cancel my order and even that did not change their mind. So they prefer losing out on $25 for like $1 max worth parmesan cheese. The lady on the phone started telling me that they are 'cracking down' on staff members that are basically generous toward customers and that it costs them $40 for a case of vegan parm. Umm don't think as a customer, I need to know all of that...

Anyone regularly buying Vegan products at the grocery store or in a restaurant can sympathize with the cost of "mock" products. I go to Pizza Lounge all the time, and I can't thank them enough for making vegan options that are truly *options*. Not just a sad side salad or plain fries. It's insensitive to ding them for explaining that there's a cost of doing business, especially when they're more vegan friendly than 99% of pizza restaurants. Lucky us to have them so close by and so willing to include the parm with the cost of the pizza. By itself, the Vegan Sofa King would far exceed $25 if you made it at home. Pizza Lounge is a great place, so maybe put your privilege aside and commend them for going the extra mile for vegans.

Wow lots of judgement in there. You're probably the owner, since you know that I ordered the Vegan Sofa King when my initial review didn't reveal what I ordered. In which case, I would get your head out of your a$$ and invest a little bit in customer service. One time I ordered I remember your rep on the phone was pretty short with me and I let that go. I'm a lifelong vegetarian and vegan for over 5 of those years and counting. I know how much one ounce of cheese costs retail, and wholesale is even cheaper. What i should add here is that your rep did not even offer the option for me to purchase the second teeny tiny container of cheese. It was just straight up 'no' with a long tirade about how you're cracking down on other employees that are nice to customers. If she had said, we are selling the second one at X amount starting this week (sorry it was free in the past) that would have been way more accommodating and professional. Secondly, there is always an option to increase pizza prices by 50 cents if it's that much of a loss of margin to provide one extra container when someone is buying the larger size and spending like $6 more than they would have on the regular. And why do I need to know you are cracking down on those awful other employees who have given away an extra 1 oz container of cheese. So unprofessional. Maybe I've just lived in cities where vegan restaurants are held to such a high standard by everyone that they've hardly ever left room for disappointment. Maybe Dallas doesn't have that many options and they let poor customer service slide. I wouldn't know I'm just here short term. Anyway, good luck surviving with that awful attitude.

Definitely not the owner, but just a consistent customer that orders the vegan sofa king every time I go. I've also worked in customer service my entire professional career. I put in my two cents because you came off as less than forgiving and Pizza Lounge has earned better than that. People have off days, and maybe the customer service wasn't great by your standards. For everyone else though, it's good enough to stick around.

Check the yelp reviews on the place you are so adamantly defending and you might see a common thread since the last 7-8 years about 'poor customer service'. My incident was all over the phone after I was just disgusted by how cheap people can behave and cancelled the order. You'll see stories of folks that have dined in only to be met with rude customer service. They can't all be 'off days', can they? Also, you might want to check the owner's amazing reputation here: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/news/2010/10/23/Co-owner-of-Fair-Park-area-2997 (no wonder the place doesn't give a damn about customers. Look who sets the precedent) . Happy that I dodged a huge bullet and will not be patronizing the business of a man that beats people with a metal pipe!

Omg so good! - Edit
They have a whole vegan pizza menu, which is almost all their pies in a vegan form. And make your own.Totally worth it! And not significantly different in price from their regular pizza. My husband, who isn't veg, said, "I was going to try one piece of pizza, then dump a bunch of parmesan cheese on it, but it was so good I forgot." Uses daiya and vegan meats.

Oh. My. Vegan. Pizza! - Edit
My husband and I met a group of friends for lunch here last week, and boy were we surprised! The menu has a whole separate page of Vegan pizzas, and the meat-eating waiter said that even he prefers the vegan pizzas. We ordered The Sauerkrauter, which looked as appetizing as the waiter promised. He also brought us Go Veg Vegan Parmesan cheese to put on top. My first bite of the pizza made me question if he truly brought us a Vegan pizza, or if he accidentally brought us a regular one. It was a burst of deep flavors in my mouth. Whoever thought of putting sauerkraut on a pizza deserves a huge hug. I can honestly say that it was one of the top five best pizzas I've ever had in my life. When the bill came, I was shocked that the bill was only $16, and that fed both my husband and I. Usually, we can't eat Vegan out in a restaurant for less than $40. I highly recommend this most exceptional restaurant if you're looking for a delicious and affordable meal. We will definitely be back....SOON!

Vegan Pizza Heaven - Edit
Ok. So not only do they have a separate menu page for all of their vegan pizza, of which there are more than any place I've ever been to, but I had the best pizza of my vegan life there! The atmosphere is also super chill and the owners are really doing their part to be eco-friendly- no straws, plastic cups only for kids that I saw, they dump unused water onto their herb garden etc. My non-veg hubby said his pizza was pretty awesome too. Win! My only "complaint" is that I thought it was 1/2 off pizzas on Tuesdays, but after looking at my receipt when I got home, saw that I was charged full price. Oh well. Will have to go back to investigate ;-)

Has a separate menu dedicated to vegan pizzas! With so much variety, I was happy to share a few diff pies with friends. They also offered a vegan strawberry cake that night. I was more than satisfied with the beer selection and the atmosphere was nice enough that you definitely want to stick around after the belly is full for another beer (or two).

Fills those late night pizza cravings - Edit
If you need a vegan pizza with daiya cheese, vegan chorizo, tofurky sausage and some vegetable matter, Pizza Lounge is the place to go.
Read moreI usually pick up a pizza to go from here, but I've gotten a beer while waiting for my order. They have an okay selection. I didn't remember any microbrews, but they have Hoegaarden and some better beers. They also have the cheap stuff.
You should probably specify that your pizza is vegan, because they have two different crusts. I mention this, because the cook asked if I wanted a vegan crust last time I was there. The vegan ingredients probably clued the cook, but you can never tell.
No, the pizza isn't cheap, but this isn't Papa John's or some other chain. Z Pizza's price is offset by the fact that I have to drive an hour, while it only takes me 10 minutes to get to Pizza Lounge. If I lived close enough for delivery, I'd take them up on it as often as I could.
Pros: Tasty food
Cons: Okay beer selection

Best Vegan Pizza in Dallas - Edit
Since going vegan 3 years ago there's been one gaping hole in my belly: the one created when I stopped eating cheese pizza. Since then, I've been searching for some semblance of an alternative to fill that aching void. I've found some stars whilst traveling (Pizza Pi in Seattle and Panther's Den in Gold Beach, OR), I've tried the local fare (Pizza by Marco is passable, Z Pizza gets closer but is quite a hike), and have had mixed results with freezer and homemade pizzas (Amy's not so tasty, Daiya on a pesto slathered bagel-delicious). Each of these samples filled up a bit of the belly abyss, but they all pale in comparison to Pizza Lounge. The Pizza Lounge pizza, with Chipotle Monterey Jack Blend Cheese and Mexican Chipotle Sausage on top has filled the void. It is *this close* to being as good as the real cheese pizza I salivated over in my college days. Ask for it with light cheese for true vegan pizza perfection.

OLD SCHOOL PIZZERIA - Edit
On the 1st night of our vacation in Dallas we searched Happycow for places that were open late and came across Pizza Lounge. The thing that intrigued us was the inclusion of the vegan selections on the menu and while everything was pricey, we expected that going in due to the nature of the ingredients.
Read moreIt was around 11pm when we arrived and all available parking on the street was taken due to a couple of pubs being close by, so we called and they informed us of additional parking around back of the building through the 1st alley off Exposition Ave. Once inside the waitress told us to have a seat anywhere we liked.
They have a patio at the front where you can eat in the open air, but since there were smokers we found a spot in the corner inside. The interior was dark, lit only by the glow of a couple of neon signs above the entrance and front window and dim lights throughout. There were about 15 people inside and the waitress informed us ahead of time as she was taking our drink orders that they were running behind and hoped we would be patient.
We began to talk amongst ourselves and when our drinks arrived we placed our order for 2 regular "Yo Pie~Yo Picks"; 1 w/Chipotle Monterey Jack Blend Vegan Cheese, Mexican Chipotle Vegan Sausage & Jalapenos and 1 w/Vegan Mozzarella & Vegan Pepperoni.
It took over 45 minutes once our order was placed to get our food (I'm just stating fact, not complaining) and the waitress explained that all ingredients are prepared once ordered so nothing is pre-cut or made, hence the longer than usual wait.
While the pie w/the Pepperoni was decent enough, the one w/the Chipotle Monterey Jack, Sausage & Jalapenos was OUT-FREAKIN'-STANDING! If you want to try something that will knock your socks off, I would advise ordering a large of this ingredient combination with a glass of cold lager, then sit back and enjoy the evening.
Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to try everything that we wanted, but when we're in Dallas again, we'll definitely be stopping back by.
I envy those who live in Dallas, as we have nothing like this in Houston. It reminded us a lot of the way Austin & Denton used to be before all of the corporate franchises took over and ruined everything and if we lived there, we could very well see ourselves making this place a regular spot since it was such a laid back atmosphere complete with good food & drink which inspires great conversation.
Pros: Vegan Pizza Toppings, Open Late, Great Atmosphere
Cons: Maybe A Little Pricey

Good but not Great - Edit
I really did like the pizza at pizza lounge and I loved the large selection of fake meats. The price was pretty steep for a pizza. The rest of the menu was outrageous in price so I just ordered that. I do have to say I prefer the pizza at Z pizza in flower mound and esp. when you consider how much more you can get for your money. The service was pretty slow considering that there were only 2 other people in the restaurant. I would go back for a late night bite but not anytime soon.
