We came here for a late lunch at 4pm on our drive to Queenstown and chose a veganised (with vegan cheese) Mediterranean pizza ($23) from the menu. This was delicious and did not rely solely on the tomato-based sauce for flavour, with tasty artichokes and olives. Good vegan option in Wanaka.
Pros: Good pizza with vegan cheese

Lovely - Edit
Charming spot with charming staff. They were out of the vegan cheese for the pizza but one staff member went out of her way to explain the other options on the menu that they could veganise 👍 I ordered the big breakfast and it was beautiful and filling. My husband had the eggs benny and loved it.
Pros: Perfect spot, Lovely staff, Yummy meals
Cons: Didn't get to try the pizza

Ok but - Edit
Wanaka is a sweet nice town. The restaurant is in front of the lake, the place is nice. I've take a pizza and fries. Everything taste good, but I think the pizza was a bit... like a desert, 5 slices of tomato, same for oignon and mushroom. So it makes me feel like my pizza was bit empty. The people working there were very nice and kind.
Pros: Make your own vegan pizza, Fries are cooked in vegetable oil
Cons: Empty pizza that makes it to expensive for what it

good service - Edit
Kai Whakapai only has 1 dish for vegans- the vegan pizza. After I ordered, someone came to the table to inform me they couldn't find any vegan cheese so they offered a cheese-less pizza and my money back. It still tasted great and I can't get mad at free food. But I'm not sure if vegan cheese is kept stocked at all times.
