I really wanted to like this place! It has lovely reviews everywhere and I love the mission & donation-based system. In fact, just before this disappointing experience (you pay before you eat), my bf donated quite a bit. We would have still donated, just much less :)

I ordered the Vegan Pesto Pizza (vegan is in the actual name on the menu, but there is an option to add real cheese). I received a pizza with unmistakably real mozzarella on it. I politely informed them that this was not the advertised Daiya topping, and 30-40 mins later they brought me my replacement.....................a pizza with real mozzarella AND pepperoni. :''(

At this point, my boyfriend had been done eating for a while and it was getting to be late in the day, so I turned down their offer to try again. The host (/chef? Owner? Idk) then brought me two tiny lettuce wraps with tofu, as that was their quickest option. I also received a wooden nickel as a token for a free meal, but I don't anticipate using it as I live 2,000 miles away.

Basically just a cautionary tale to be VERY clear with them when ordering. They seem vegan friendly otherwise (had at least 1 vegan soup & salad option plus the entrees). But their servers are volunteer or working-for-their-meal, so they're not very customer-service focused.
