Good for everyone - Edit
I don’t often eat raw food, but I’m glad I wasn’t stop by it. I had the mushroom quesadilla and it was really good, left me satisfied all the way until dinner. I sat in their cute little outdoor area (beware of mosquitoes).

What an amazing find! - Edit
So grateful to have found this place. Was at a more commercial vegan restaurant as I was trying to accommodate my niece, but gratefully we all wanted more pure food… so we stumbled upon Peace Pies in this app. What a blessing! We tried 2 appetizers (the bruschetta and the falafel plate) as well as a salad (kale ) and the mushroom stroganoff. Wow! We all enjoyed everything, with my niece loving that Kale salad, and my favorite being the stroganoff. Loved it so much, along with the Leek chips, that I HAD to buy the cookbook! Can’t wait to cook some of this at home! Can’t wait to come back and visit again, from Ventura!
Read morePros: Love their many diverse options, Love that they carry ingredients to cook at home, Love that they sell the recipes in their cookbook
Cons: Loved everything about this place!

Exceptional vegan food - Edit
Burger with kale chips was unbelievable and other worldly. The desserts taste great too. In a world of industrial processed plant based patties, this place is an example of the potential of achieving things with just easily available vegan ingredients in stores.

Exceeded my expectations - Edit
The Mushroom Stroganoff with kelp noodles and flavorful pesto was so full of flavor. I don’t even like mushrooms but this entree changed my mind. I also recommend the raw lasagna and the mango curry wrap, which comes with delicious kale chips. For dessert, the Dreamsicle Hostess cupcake, apple pie and chocolate toffee bars are winners.

Good place for raw vegan dining - Edit
I enjoyed their raw vegan take on lasagna, called Loving Lasagna. I also enjoyed the Passionfruit Guava Pie.
Read moreI would caution against the outdoor seating because the many, well-watered plants are apparently home to mosquitos, as evidenced by several bites that I discovered on my ankle shortly after dining there.

High quality and delicious food, desserts, and more. - Edit
I so grateful that San Diego has such a great raw vegan restaurant. It's a bit far from me but I go once in a while. I had their burger, lasagna, mushroom stragonoff, mango curry wrap, pizza, taco, all types of desserts, milkshake, Nori Nirvana, quesadilla, cuac and chips, and leekcrackers. I think that is like 70% of their menu items. I have enjoyed everything I had and repeating orders of few of my favorites like mangk curry wrap, burger, taco, and stroganoff.
Read moreIt's great to have a restaurant constantly covering creative and coming up with great delicious dishes and dessert.
It's a must when you visit San Diego.

Impressive! - Edit
I’m a skeptic at raw restaurants because I’m a foodie for flavor, but they do it well at Peace Pies. The flavors were delicious and well thought out, we felt extremely nourished and vibrant after our meals, and they had so many options! Their outdoor eating area was FULL of gorgeous plants. Probably a hundred or more. It felt like eating in a jungle. Loved it here!

All time favorite food - Edit
I've been eating mostly raw for the past 4-5 months and it has changed my life! That being said, what I find is that Peace Pies is one of, if not the only, eating est. in the region that promotes this revolutionary, healthy lifestyle in full, no-holds-barred. They provide a real favorable option for your palate when you don't have any knowledge or experience with the art of preparing creative, raw meals. You'll be fascinated with disbelief that all of their preparations are raw. Then dawned with the stage of questioning as to how they prepare their food. Then maybe inspired to eat that healthy more often. I know they played a large role in inspiring me!

FRESH, Flavorful Living Foods - Edit
I ordered the Majestic Mediterranean wrap and San Diego Caesar.
Read moreI loved the fresh, vibrant fillings of the wrap- sprouts, cukes, tomatoes, lettuce the sprouted lentil pea & lentil falafel. Looooved the cucumber dill sauce plus the slight sweetness from the coconut wrap. The falafel was super dense and filling. Could’ve possibly used more fresh herbs in the falafel for a bit more flavour.
The kale chips that come with the wrap were EPICCCC! I can see why they sell so many prepackaged kale chips..theyre ridiculously good. 10/10. Best kale chips I’ve ever had. Hands down.
Really enjoyed the Caesar as well. I missed having caesars back in the day and it was nice to have one that was very tasty.
I would come back just for those kale chips plus to try other things off the menu. Really appreciate this place for offering well thought out, flavourful, delicious raw vegan food. Excited to go back.
Pros: Insanely delicious kale chips
