Best Gluten-free crust

We cannot say enough good about this place. Avatara has an absolutely great selections for vegan options, that tastes amazing. We will be returning to the city because of this place! Also worth noting is the vegan ice cream available right next to it.

A Little Disappointing

Was a bit disappointed with the vegan mac and cheese and vegan lasagna. The cheesecake was ok, but wasn't as advertised. Will definitely give their pizza a shot in the future, as it seems to have great reviews, but I won't be ordering pasta from them in the future.

Pros: Vegan options other than pizza, Clearly labelled what was vegan

Cons: Food was ok, but not great

Great pizza but not a huge veg menu

They have vegan GF crust, vegan cheese, and beyond meat but most of the menu isn’t veg so just make sure to tell them to change things to be the way you want

Pros: Delicious , Vegan cheese, Extensive topping options

Cons: Menu doesn’t explicitly have veg options

Excellent pizza and service

I would give this 5 stars, but the five star rating is only permitted for fully vegan and vegetarian restaurants. Nonetheless, this is a community-minded business with flavourful, nutritious pizza. The restaurant is a cosy and clean with very amiable staff. All in all, a great experience from time of order to the last bite.

Pros: Flavourful, Friendly staff, Reasonable price

Great pizza and service

Delicious pizzas with lots of vegan options or the option to make your own. I wasn’t sure what to expect with a GF crust but it was really good with crunchy texture. Owner was extremely helpful when it came to questions about the menu and the service throughout our meal was amazing. We shared the Picasso pizza (sub vegan cheese) and a side of Falafel chips and hummus. Two of their dessert options (cheesecakes) were vegan so we tried both the chocolate and strawberry!

Pros: Great tasting pizza, Very vegan-friendly, Amazing service

Excellent pizza

Whilst its not 100% vegan this place is very sensitive and aware of vegan needs. They cut the pizza with a separate cutter, they have vegan desserts and are always accommodating. I love the Picasso vegan pizza which has artichoke hearts and vegan cheese. All excellent quality.

Welcome

I am the owner at Avatara Pizza. I love our pizzas, salads, sides, & beverages & I think you will too. I mostly eat our pizzas veggie & sometimes with no animal product at all and really enjoy them. Most importantly our vegan & vegetarian customers seem to really enjoy the options we have available for them. Please feel to customize your pizzas to fit your choices & don't be shy to let us know if you have any preferences (eg. use a separate or clean cutter from pizzas with meat or animal product of any kind). We are happy to respect your requests & are very experienced in catering to customers with severe dietary restrictions & allergies. Thanks for considering us.

Offers vegan options

I don't know about the previous reviewer(s), but I've stuck with meatless pizzas when ordering from here. They offer vegan cheese - which is clearly vegan in its consistency and texture compared side by side with real cheese. I've gotten two pizzas from here - the Picasso without feta, and the Aristotle with vegan mozzarella. Both were good. I personally found the crust to be quite crunchy, but it was all delicious nonetheless.

Pros: Vegan cheese, Great taste

Cons: Too crunchy crust

Pleasant, quiet and accommodating

Walked in and got served straight away, plenty of choice for vegetarians and vegans (vegan cheese available). All crusts are gluten free and vegan so what's not to like! Would definitely stop by again!

Pros: gluten free, vegan cheese

All gluten free!

While I am vegan, I had a friend in town that is dairy-free and gluten-free, so I instantly thought of Avatara. I have to admit that I was slightly disappointed they ONLY offer gluten-free pizza, because I have no aversions to gluten. But the pizza itself was delicious! Loved the vegan cheese, loved the variety of high-quality toppings, and the crust was a nice consistency. I definitely recommend this place!

Pros: Delicious "cheese" , Awesome variety of toppings, Awesome pizza!

Cons: All gluten-free, no wheat option, A little difficult to get to , Very limited seating

Mmm, Pizza!

I went for my first time a few days ago! I ordered the vegan Buddha and got some falafel chips! The chips were delicious -- a half order fills half of a small pizza box (it looks somewhat pathetic, I wished I had got a full order)!

I think the Buddha was good, but I will definitely be trying something else. It had a very strong "ginger" taste that I've been told is the curry. It overwhelms the other flavors, which is too bad, because I could just tell everything else was amazing! The crust had great crunch (I didn't ask what crust I used, just specified vegan on the phone) and I enjoyed the pizza even if the sauce was overpowering. My boyfriend and I were okay sharing one pizza, even though I was worried it wouldn't be enough! They're actually pretty filling. But more chips, for sure.

I'll be back!

Pros: Vegan Options, Daiya Cheese, Flavourful

Cons: Pricey

The Best Ever!!!

Awesome gluten free vegan thin crust pizza and vegan mozzarella available. Awesome interior with interesting paintings and an overall good atmosphere. Friendly, accommodating staff. So good! I`m so glad I could finally eat pizza as a gluten free vegan, yay!

Pros: food, vegan, 100% gluten free kitchen

Great food & very accommodating

The food was great, and I love the atmosphere! It's kind of in a odd location but worth the drive!

They have a bunch of interesting pizza options, there's a couple from "Far East (places like India), and a few from "The Americas." Very good! Although I was craving something like pepperoni (as a vegan that's a hard craving to satisfy) and the pizza didn't really do it for that! However it was delicious. I believe they only had thin crust, but that could just be the vegan option!

Pros: Great variety & interesting menu, Very accommodating / friendly staff, chill atmosphere

Cons: Only thin crust, Won't satisfy "junk food pizza" craving

Liked the options, but not the pizza

This really wasn't to my taste. I thought the crust was about as boring as boring gets. I thought the sauce was pretty boring too.

Thus, despite my appreciation of the Daiya cheese and multiple veggie options, I did not really enjoy the pizza. Just my opinion, of course!

Really good!

I had the Buddha pizza - the curry sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but otherwise it was great. They didn't cheap out on the Daiya cheese, and the toppings went all the way to the edge - woo hoo! The cashews were really good, too. I'll be back! (and next time I'll do what the owner suggests and ask that a separate pizza cutter be used...that should standard practice, tho, IMHO.)

Pros: Great food!

Vegan Pizza with whole wheat crust

They have Daiya cheese for vegan pizzas, and the whole wheat crust and the tomato sauce are vegan. I had a vegan Margherita pizza, with fresh basil and parsley. It was really good. I like how they use a good amount of Daiya. I would probably prefer a normal crust, but for a whole wheat crust it was good, especially if you are trying to be healthier.
