Tempeh and Mushrooms

Stopped in after hiking Paynes Prairie. Honestly I am so surprised to find options on the side of the highway in a hole in the wall place. I ordered the hand tossed (12”) pizza with vegan sauce, vegan mozzarella, tempeh, and mushrooms (they do have distinctions between “sauce”, “vegetarian sauce”, and “vegan sauce” so be sure to specify). It came out in about 10 minutes after ordering. It is a great size for a personal if you’re hungry after your hike! The crust is super crispy with lots of sauce and cheese. I’m not usually the biggest fan of tempeh but wow they make it good. The only downside is that the cheese isn’t really melted, but I can’t really fault the restaurant for that since it’s just a “feature” of the product. I will definitely come back next time I’m in the area.

Price: $22.50 before tip

Pros: Crispy crust, Lots of toppings to choose from

Cons: Cheese not melty, High price per topping

Amazing pizza!

My husband and I stopped here for lunch after visiting Paynes Prairie Preserve (also amazing). The restaurant isn't large but they do have an outdoor patio also. We split a salad with lemon vineagrette to start. The dressing was light and not too sweet, ingredients fresh. I had the hand tossed pizza with tempeh, vegan cheese and mushrooms. The crust was light and crispy and tempeh nicely seasoned. The sauce tasted fresh also. Some of the best pizza i have had, even in my pre-vegan days. Price was a little high when you add toppings and vegan cheese but the portion and taste makes up for it. I will definitely return!

Pros: Vegan options, Nice variety of toppings, Light, crispy pizza

Cons: Need a vegan dessert option, Upcharge for vegan cheese

Excellent!

The staff was gracious about customizing our menu choice and the salads were delicious! The restaurant is tiny and quaint but clean with a rustic nature. Everything is homemade!

A Gem of Micanopy

Finished a day of hiking in Payne’s Prairie and was looking for nearby option. This place is your only option for many miles and was very surprised to learn about their vegan cheese, vegan sauce, and tempeh. Surprised how great it tasted and how cute the atmosphere was! It’s a great recommendation for those nearby Payne’s Prairie State Park or south Gainesville! I was definitely surprised by the options in small town Florida but this place was satisfying :)

Pros: Vegan cheese & toppings, Friendly staff, Cute location

Careful if ordering Tuscan hummus

Hummus is awesome, but was confirmed that they use butter on the pita bread that goes w it. Gave 3 stars bc most normal ppl don't associate dairy w a hummus dish.

Pros: Great pizza and hummus

Cons: Butter on pita bread

Vegan sauce & cheese by request

Family owned & have always loved their thin crust pizza. Contrary to prior review, vegan sauce & vegan ‘cheese’ are available upon request. Tasty tossed salad for starter was yummy!

Staff very willing to veganize

There are no completely vegan options on the menu, but the staff are super willing to work with you to alter a meal to your liking. I feel like they get it, if you know what I mean. My favorite thing to order is the Tuscan Bean Piadine without the feta or parmesan. Once, I ordered a menu special as take out. I included a comment to leave off the cheese because I’m vegan. I received a friendly call a few minutes later because one of the other topping ingredients contained butter and honey. The extra time they took to clarify my order was very much appreciated. I give them five stars for service even if I can’t give them five stars for vegan food options.

Tasty pizzas and many choices for toppings

We spent three weeks in Micanopy and were very happy to find Blue Highway Pizza. We loved that they have tempeh and vegan mozzarella as toppings, as well as many vegetables such as artichoke hearts, roasted vegetables, sun dried tomatoes and so many more. Staff is friendly and willing to help. We also love the atmosphere of the restaurant (nice decoration and rock music).

Pros: many toppings, friendly staff, nice vibe
