Good Pizza - Edit
I've only had good experiences here. I love all the delicious decadent vegan stuff. The poppers remind me of how I remember hot pockets tasting. Who doesn't want the occasional nostalgic junk food? The service has always been decent for me too. I'm thinking you should go here and try it yourself.

Damn Good Vegan Pizza - Edit
Small and uber casual. Large menu, lots of toppings, 2 sauces and a few different cheeses, which is great because it seems everyone serves Daiya... And it's gross.
Read morePros: all vegan , yummy breadsticks, more cheese options than Daiya!
Cons: fake meats are tasteless , limited seating

I see why they are going out of business - Edit
Yes, we went on a Friday night. Yes, there was a MeetUp in progress at the same time. But, seriously, the rudeness that we were bombarded with was over-the-top. The service here was horrendous (three sets of other customers said similar things to us, too, so it wasn't just us). The noise and hum from the teeny-tiny eating space (not the other customers) literally gave me a headache. We had to BEG to be waited on, were told that it would take 20-25 minutes for our order, and then an HOUR AND A HALF later we were literally thrown our pizza. The pizza was good (not fabulous, but really good since they use Teese rather than Daiya), but it wasn't worth the wait. If we'd been able to get our money back, we would have. We weren't even offered water for that hour and a half of pure torture. I would never recommend this place to anyone. The only thing good about it is the awesome mural outside.
Read moreIf the service being bad wasn't enough, our desserts were actually WRONG!!! There is one thing I will never eat: cinnamon. Guess what they gave me instead of my cherry dessert? Cinnamon apple. If we hadn't already driven over 100 miles to get away from the place, I would have taken it back. No, I wouldn't have, actually, as I never want to set foot in the place again and I never will. I completely see why they are going out of business. I hope the cooks get better jobs, as they aren't bad.
Pros: Teese pizza, They are vegan, Location
Cons: Waitstaff rudeness, Amount of time to cook order, Accuracy of order

Worst pizza ever! - Edit
We read all the glowing reviews of this place and decided to go out of our way to stop here on our trip. We ordered two pizzas and some cheesy breadsticks. The "breadsticks" was actually a pizza crust cut into rectangles with cheese sprinkled on it and were alright. The pizza however was terrible, we could only stomach one slice before we couldn't take it anymore. It tasted sour like something had turned bad in the cheese or the sauce. We ended up tossing the rest in the trash... We ended up across the street at the vegan haven to buy ice cream to get the taste out of our mouth...

Top 3 Vegan Pizza's in the US - Edit
I would say this place is the second best vegan pizza in the US (behind Peace O' Pie in Boston). It's so tasty! They support local artists as well, which is sweet.

So disappointed :( - Edit
I really wanted to like this place. I was so excited to try it.... I'd been craving some pizza with a little more substance, sick of plain ol' veggie pizza with no cheese. We got there and it was packed full, but we were determined to wait for a table to open up. So we sat awkwardly on the tiny bench seat by the door. They didn't take our names down or anything, so when another group came in and began to wait, we knew we'd need to fend for ourselves to claim a table. It's VERY casual in there... as in, they don't really serve you. You serve yourself.
Read moreAnyways though, the most important part is the food. When we were finally able to order (30 min after getting there) and when our food finally got to our table (45 min after that) we were excited and ready to dig in!! My fiancé and I got two small pizzas, each a different topping and sauce combo. The crust part of the pizza was very good. They are good at making bread, no doubt about that. The fresh ingredients and sauces were good too (although laid on a bit thick - I don't like TOO much Alfredo). But the "cheese" and "meats" (vegan of course) were the WORST imitation products I'd ever tasted. Truly disgusting. I could only handle a couple bites before I was just scraping everything off the pizza and eating just the crust and some sauce. Of course it's a matter of personal taste, but I won't be returning.
Pros: good bread/crust, good sauces (when use a little)
Cons: worst fake cheese/meats i've ever had, unclean, unfriendly, very little seating

Best Calzone Ive Ever Had, Vegan Or Not - Edit
Must stop for vegans in Seattle. Food is made by vegans for vegans, and the money goes to the vegan owner and vegan causes. Also the food is fantastic and creative.

Good but not the best I've ever had - Edit
It's been a while since I ate here but the pizza was pretty good; if I had pizza dough and Daiya in my fridge though...I would just stay home and make my own pizza.

No. Just no. - Edit
I can't say anything good about this restaurant, I really want to, but I can't. The place itself is dark and dingy and low class. The servers can't be bothered to wait on you and food is awful. I had a Philly Cheesesteak that was greasy and nasty. My friend got the French Dip and it was equally gross. Another friend got the pizza and I can name three different places that serve better vegan pizza than that.

Best hawaiian pizza I've ever had! - Edit
I should mention we didn't actually order "pizza" but calzones. Which are just folded pizza.
Read moreWe ordered the calzone sampler thing from the appetizers. It was a meal in itself. 5 different pizza flavours in pockets as big as my hand. I obviously loved the "ham" and pineapple one. The mushroom and onion one was pretty awesome. I wasn't sold on the green pepper and sausage though. That's more due to my hate for green peppers. I did appreciate that they used a cheese I've never tried before called Tease. I liked it because it didn't have the weird after taste that Daiya has. Also most of there meats are Field Roast (a big thing on Seattle menus) which is awesome!
They had an array of different flavours and toppings including curry sauce and potatoes. Next time I'll be more adventurous and bring an emptier stomach.
Pros: Weird toppings, Calzones!, Magnets on the walls
Cons: Bathroom was kinda sketchy

MMMM Pizza - Edit
Last time I was here I ordered their pizza with the artichokes and tomatoes and the basil-- my favorite pizza toppings. I shared with my sister and we both thought it was deeeelicious. They have a huge pizza menu- most of them seem too complicated for me, since I just like the simple flavors and I don't like mock meat- but I bet everything is good. It's so nice to eat vegan pizza when you are out and about! Good prices!

Best Vegan Pizza We've Had! - Edit
My husband and I try vegan pizza wherever we can find it, and I must say that Pizza Pi is the best so far! Crispy crust, fresh ingredients and Teese cheese (from Chicago) made the pizza absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was nice and laid back, loved the husband/wife team running the place, and the price was very affordable. In a great university area as well - with a bus stop right across the street, for those who like to take public transportation.

All pizza is thin crust - Edit
My boyfriend and I went here for the first time today and I have to say we both thought is was okay. We are both vegan and love vegan food but to us the pizza was similar to a frozen Tofurky pizza. Okay not great. I have had really great vegan pizza but not here. I was very surprised that a pizza place would have only one kind of pizza crust. It is all thin crust pizzas. Even the "breadstix" are not really breadsticks but just the very thin pizza crust without the pizza. When I order breadsticks I want thick yeast risen stick of dough. The pizza crust does not have yeast either. I like thick pizza crust not deep dish or anything but thick not super thin.
Read morePros: Nice Staff
Cons: Looks dirty in back (bathroom) , only one kind of pizza crust

Best Caesar Salad Ever!! - Edit
My SO and I ate here while visiting his brother back in September. We ordered an ex meat lovers pizza by his brother's request and a custom veggie pizza, as well as a family sized caesar salad. The caesar was AMAZING! Plenty of salad for 4 adults and one child to have more than one serving. It was so good, I could have just kept eating salad and skipped the pizza. But I'm glad I didn't because the veggie pizza was really fantastic and liked by all. The ex meat lovers was not a hit however. We both knew we probably wouldn't like it much, not being big fans of faux meat in general. But his brother and family thought it was really weird tasting. I was bummed when they settled on it because I figured they wouldn't like it as much as a pizza with just one faux meat and other veggies. It was humorous though because the adults were trying to be real polite about it and then Madison, who is 8, proclaimed "That pizza is really funny tasting!" My bf and I loved loved this pizza parlor and cannot wait to return on our next visit!

Every city needs a place like this! - Edit
I live in Milwaukee, which absolutely sucks for vegan food. We have 0 all-vegan restaurants, and barely any all-vegetarian restaurants. You can get what I thought was somewhat decent vegan pizza at a few places, but that's about it. Then I went on vacation, stopped in Seattle, ate at Pizza Pi and will most likely never enjoy pizza that much again unless I make it myself or go back to Seattle. They have *dozens* of vegan pizzas, or you can make up your own. They offer both Teese and Daiya (which is awesome because I don't care much for Teese anymore), and they even make stuffed crust pizza. Though, I think they might want to check on whether or not they can legally offer "stuffed crust" because I think you-know-who has a trademark on that. Okay, I'm rambling. Seriously, though, this place is just amazing. I tried four different kinds of their pizza while I was there dining with some friends, and all of them were amazing. If you live in Seattle and you don't eat here all the time, I don't know what's wrong with you.
Read morePros: so many options, multiple vegan cheeses, stuffed crust vegan pizza?!

Best Calzones Ever - Edit
This is my second time visiting Seattle, and the one place I was determined to frequent on this trip was Pizza Pi (I went here twice when visiting a couple years ago). They have the best calzones I have ever had and an extensive list of toppings. Serving Teese vegan cheese (and now Daiya which you can pay extra for), their cheese bread and spinach artichoke dip rocks also.
Read moreThey serve pizza, calzones, an array of appetizers, dessert (including a cookie dessert pizza), and more. Any of their specialty pizzas can be made into a calzone (I recommend the Pink Lady- blend of red and white sauce, sundried tomatoes, spinach, and potatoes). Their garlic dip that comes with the pizza rocks also.
I can't recommend this place enough.
Pros: Great food, Calzones, Good vegan cheese
Cons: 10.99 for pizza made into a calzone, Not a lot of room for dining in

Delicious! - Edit
Mmmmm vegan pizza... We had the Cheesesteak variety. It was recommended by the staff there and they were absolutely right! Pizza Pi is in a convenient, easy-to-find location. The value was good, as we had plenty of leftovers.

Teese cheese & Gluten free crust - Edit
Went with my gluten free friend for lunch and had two delicious pies.
Read moreFresh ingredients, delicious garlic sauce. The Teese Cheese they use is divine. Gluten free crust available in small size. There were so many types of pizzas, we had trouble deciding. I'm sure whatever choice, they would have been delicious
The salad was chopped up kind of weird, but the ranch dressing was very good.
Pros: menu, fresh toppings, lots of seating
Cons: no music playing
