Intentionally Vegan

For vegan pizza done well, come to Pizza J! Here, vegans are not just accommodated, they are celebrated. From multiple non dairy cheese options to their delicious appetizers, each bite aims to impress.

Good, solid vegan pizza; very nice wings

The pizza here has options for vegan cheese and sausage. New York thin style crust for those who care, and the pizza bones are quite edible. It was quite lovely.

The biggest star of the show in my mind was the wings-- seitan based. The sauce was good, the texture was excellent. Big plus.

Best sit down pizza restaurant in Providence

Delicious Vegan Pizza, Good Beer, Punk Rock Aesthetic, and Pinball Machines. What more could you want? The vegan garlic fries are amazing too. There is no upcharge for vegan cheese here. I found the prices very reasonable compared to other places. I think a big and delicious vegan cheese pizza was only $16 when I was there.

One of my fave vegan pizzas + vegan wings

This is my go-to place for vegan pizza. I order the vegan version of the Strutter, which has vegan cheese and vegan sausage. They do allow you to do half and half pizzas as well. We also get vegan wings every time, which are house-made seitan wings. I like they generally have some veggie apps on the menu too. Craft beer selection is also excellent here, and the servers are amazing as well.

Pros: Good vegan cheese, sausage, and wings, Excellent craft beer selection, Service is awesome

Cons: A little on expensive side

I found hair in my sandwich

They did't seem surprised and the guy was not apologetic. Gross.

Great GFV Pizza!

We had a very satisfying and delicious gluten-free vegan pizza and were offered a shaker of nutritional yeast on the side. For real?!? Love this spot.

great options!

we got the brussel sprouts and thai chili seitan wings and they were both great! we also each got a pizza and the free substitutions for vegan options were definitely a plus. anywhere else you go you get charged an arm and a leg to substitute! the atmosphere was really cool and we will definitely be returning. i definitely wish they had vegan ranch or blue cheese for dipping the wings tho!

Great spot for vegan pizza

I always come here for their pizza. To substitute for vegan cheese is free! And you can add extra toppings for additional costs. They have seitan and vegan feta you can add. I love the Seitan Wings appetizer. They have three different flavors you can order; bbq, sweet Thai chili, and hot and spicy. They have some vegan sandwiches and desserts as well, although I haven’t tried those yet. Love the casual vibe, dimmed lighting, friendly staff, and pricing is good. Overall no complaints.

Pros: Great pizza and vegan options, Nice prices, Cool vibes

Mixed reviews

I have mixed feelings about this place. I’ve ordered several vegan pizzas and a few times I received meat. Neither the chef or wait staff wanted to take ownership of their mistake and instead, their comeback was, “if you order it vegan, then it’s vegan” even though it obviously contained pulled pork...

BEST vegan pizza yet!

Vegan cheese doesnt have a weird flavor, its melty and the pizza has thats delicious greasy look, I had to double check that it was vegan! Thai Chili seitan wings were spicy and crunchy. Atmosphere super creative.

a great spot!

I went to dinner here with my boyfriend (a meat eater) before a show at the Columbus Theater. I love places that have ample vegan options but still carry stuff for those who aren't veg (and there's a handful of those in this neighborhood!). Beer was awesome and pizza with vegan ricotta was LOVELY. Also, seitan bbq wings were VERY good!! True story: bf got 2 slices of pepperoni pizza. Ate one, then started on my vegan pizza..... never picked up that second piece of pepperoni lol.

Pros: great vegan options, fun atmosphere, close to our event venue

Cons: waitstaff wasn't very attentive, no vegan pizza by the slice, wish there were more beer options

So Good!

This is the best vegan pizza I've ever had. Super tasty the sauce is delicious and the crust is perfect. I got just a basic cheese pizza with vegan cheese (which is a FREE swap !) And BBQ seitan wings. The wings were good, but the pizza was the winner for me. My new favorite spot for sure.

Pros: free vegan cheese swap, tons of options, great dec

best vegan pizza I've had!

By far the best vegan pizza I've tried. They make their own vegan cheese and it is so yummy. I highly recommend trying. We got "the Audrey" and added caramelized onions and balsamic glaze. Absolutely delicious

Just Okay

I arrive and there was plenty of seating. I liked the decor, especially the picture of Richard Prior (classic). I went to the restroom and I must say I felt like the facilities were fit for a queen, or king....nice, spacious and clean.
I ordered the seitan wings sweet Thai chili flavored. They were just okay, nothing to write home about. As I was sitting I asked for a straw....I hate it when waitstaff touch the drinking straw with their dare hands...disgusting! As I was waiting for my order I realized that all the staff made everything with their bare hands, fries, bowls, everything. I understand the pizza dough may need to be rolled out and tossed with bare hands, but I just can't .

Pros: Nice restrooms, Nice staff

Cons: Taste , Food handling

Gets better and better

If I could give 5 stars I would, but on Happy Cow you can only do that for places that are fully Veg.

Okay...the first couple times we went to Pizza J, everything was decent. Nothing too crazy....okay pizza, good seitan wings. (a little too well done the second time we had them)

However, the last few months it seems like there's been a great change as everything has been very consistent and even better than when they first opened. The vegan pizza options are great and they are always willing to do substitutes, and the wings are always perfect. Note: Tuesdays are 50 cent wing nights and that includes the seitan wings!!!

The alcohol selection has been nice, and we have even been in when they had trivia nights before. Very fun!

Everytime we have gone in we have never had a wait, which is nice, and we have never felt rushed by the servers. Great service, great food. I live an hour away yet I want to go down here weekly!

Pros: VEGAN CHEESE that doesnt cost extra, Awesome staff that never rushes you, Great Atmosphere

Cons: Its not located closer to me :P

Shop made cashew cheese! Great crust!

Pizza J, a sister restaurant to Julians (just a few blocks away) opened in the fall of 2015. They have upped the vegan pizza game for RI! Virtually any pie can be made vegan with their own cashew cheese - and... get this... THEY DON'T CHARGE EXTRA FOR VEGAN CHEESE! In defense of places that do charge extra for vegan cheese (I'm in the vegan food business,) offering vegan cheese is actually expensive and not that easy. The pies are square. The crust gets some nice bubbles! In addition to pizza, they offer fried seitan with your choice of several vegan sauces (we had whisky cola last time.) They also have 2 vegan sandwiches - a vegan Bhan Mi and a vegan RI carnival style Sausage and Pepper Grinder. If you go past the bathrooms, take a right and peak around the corner - you'll find a mini-arcade!

Pros: Don't charge extra for vegan cheese!, Plenty of vegan options!, Secret arcade hidden in the back!
