- Not Bad, Not Great Either
I was quite excited to see a “vegan” pizza restaurant open not far from my home, so felt a bit let down when I discovered that it wasn't vegan at all, and only a three pizzas out of a dozen or so are vegan (but they are clearly labelled). I have no idea why it was listed as vegan at first. And I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed with my pizza. I ordered the “vegetable pizza with hot Korean sauce” (or something like that) and it was literally a dry pizza base covered with kimchi. I guess it was meant for two (being the large size) but I've never eaten that much kimchi in one sitting (as much as I love it) and I just couldn't get through it, and ended up eating the base on its own at the end. Perhaps the tomato or curry sauces might be better, but I'm in no hurry to go back and try them. On the upside, staff were friendly and it had a nice vibe. The walk from Mingde Station was mostly along a river, and very pleasant. This is another example of why I generally only order vegan pizza from vegan restaurants, so don't recommend So Free Pizza either. In my opinion the best pizza in Taipei is from @Peace Cafe (weekends only) in Xindian, but I understand Mianto also do an excellent one (I'm sure they do, given the quality of everything else I've had there) and so do Fresh Bakery, out east. If I were in this area I would eat in Beitou, probably at Yummy Vegan House (Qiyan Station). PS Having just seen the previous person's review, I wish I'd known about the vegan cheese, but I didn't see any sign of it there, and it certainly wasn't on my pizza, and at that time it was listed as vegan, so not sure what the deal is there, but just to clarify only the first three on the menu are vegan.
