Surprised to see BOP listed on Happy Cow, since its not primarily veg. But hey, since it's listed I will give you my take. Before it opened I read that they would have a vegan pizza, so my SO & I went in on what was opening night. I've since gone back 1 time, so I'll write about both. They do have two vegan pizza's. 1st visit we ordered both. One called the Simplic. Red sauce w/ a sparse amount of fresh basil. Since basil was the only topping I expected there to be full pieces of basil all over the pie, but instead it was chopped & lightly tossed on. For me, the crust is the huge to making a good pizza, and theirs was good & thin, hand tossed w/ just enough crunch on the outside & softness inside. this was a big plus. The pizza's come in one size, ~12 inch, which was a nice size. SO got "The Beet". Roasted beets on white kidney bean sauce. I loathe beets, but there were a few small slices w/out beets so I ate that & was pleased w/ the taste & not too thick texture. My SO on the other h& did not enjoy it at all. Thought it had a fishy taste. I'm pretty sensitive to that & did not get that flavor at all. The waitress this first visit, again opening night, was very pleasant & we offered up our praise for the vegan offerings. She said they would have more vegan items in the future. My 2nd visit, about a month & a half later, was w/a friend & it was happy hour. Happy hour menu listed "Mozzarella Bar" w/ many items listed that were seemingly vegan, at 2 different price points. So I asked what "Mozzarella Bar" meant & the waiter, rudely, explained that it was homemade mozzarella sitting in these different sauces. There was two price points, again w/ items that were seemingly vegan, so I asked "these items too?" & didn't get a clear answer. He seemed rushed &/or uninformed about the menu himself. So we didn't order anything off the happy hour menu (except organic beer) & ordered our meals off the dinner menu. I asked if I could get The Beet ($15) but instead of beets could I get mushrooms. He said they may have to up charge because mushrooms cost more than beets. So I had to show him on the menu they have a mushroom pizza for $13 w/ chse. So, he didn't charge me more. Crust was as good as my first visit & the mushrooms were sliced & juicy portabellas. All & all I'd say it's a good option for pizza & beer/wine for happy hour if you are in downtown Boulder. Maybe if I go again I'll get better wait staff who can explain the HH menu. Sun Deli pizza is superior!
