Sfizy Veg

We travelled from the city centre whilst on holiday as the app and google claimed the plane was open but it unfortunately wasn't. :(

I really fancied pizza too haha

Maybe next time

This place has serious problems in that they cannot handle complaints and critique. They will aggressively and with great arrogance defend whatever they do (wrong) and not accept rightful critique. The food is (mostly, not always) good, but service is incredibly slow. When I say "they" I mean the supposed owners and "higher management". Some of the staff is off course friendly and service minded. I can't recommend anyone to spend their money on this sad place. I've done the mistake three times and regretted myself every time. Only starved vegans who have nothing to compare with and no standards will find this place "fantastic".

We ordered two pizzas and two smoothies, not even 10minutes later we were served. We really enjoyed the pizzas, very tasty!

We also had 2 chocolate and peanut brownies, that were also amazing :)

Love their pizzas and go their whenever I can, mainly with berlin visitors and people that need to be confinced that vegan food can be incredibly delicious.
Reserve a table via e-mail. then your sure to get a seat. and be prepared that it's jam- packed...

albeit the pizza being really awesome,

the staff is dickish towards customers. they close and open whenever they please. you can never trust them to be open when they say they are. i've gone there for the last time. La Stella Nera is a welcome alternative with really nice staff and awesome pizza!

Me and my boyfriend were there twice during our trip to Berlin. I ate the pizza and bolognese, and it was so good. I look foward to coming back next time!

Cute, cosy and nicely decorated restaurant. Their pizza is just amazing. With some friends we tried different pizzas and they all turned out to be tasty and delicious. The Chicken Tikka Masala pizza was our favourite though. Give it a try!!

was there without a reservation on a busy day. Safes Veg was packed and I didn`t know where shall I wait for a table. While I was looking someone to ask, the woman (I think, the owner) showed me very rudely the bar, where I can wait. Though, it`s a busy day and could be that, she has lot`s of things to do. So I didn`t mind this rudeness.
Then we had to sit a very ugly table -oh, believe me, it was so extremely ugly! Doesn`t match with the other stuffs in the room. Also, we had to share our table with other people. And asked, if we can change our table, if it`s later possible. She looked us angry and said "how we get such an idea, that it`s possible at all?" We shocked really, because of such a bad attitude. A few minutes later, she came again and said" hey, as you see there is a free table now!"
Nightmare! I went there with a special person to show how vegan food can delicious.... At the end, we were scared to ask for the next drinks.
As you can also find on Facebook, the owner is kind "famous" in vegan Berlin page. Unfortunately, I figured out too late.
it´s really not a good idea to go there. I love to support eating good vegan food and support vegan stores. but this place is a nightmare!

Delicious pizza here! I recommend the green pizzas with basil pesto and no tomato sauce - so good. The carbonara also looks amazing (will try next time).

Cons were that the pizzas are a tad pricey (but huge so that's fair) and the salads are just not worth the money - they're not that big or interesting - just get a pizza or pasta dish! The menu is gigantic and you should find one that you like!

I liked all the pizza's I've had here so far. The cheeses as well as the base are very good.
I also ordered a glass of red wine and I think it was the biggest glass of wine I ever got in a restaurant/bar. Well worth the price and also pretty good.

I'll definitely go here again on my next visit to Berlin.

In our 3 short visits to Berlin in the past year, my boyfriend and I went to Sfizy 5 times. From the first time when I had a starter with gorgonzola, I was sold! Not a fan of vegan cheese in general, but authentic blue cheese flavour made the pizzas work for me for a while. During our most recent visit I decided to order my favourite one but this time without the grated vegan cheese. For some reason this was a problem for the chef, which I honestly don't get as the cheese is clearly sprinkled over the pizza and is not blended either with the tomato sauce or with the additional gorgonzola. I hope this option is explored by the staff for the future.

This place has almost perfected a vegan pizzeria. The vegan cheese is phenomenal (MUST try the gorgonzola). I shared a pizza with hemp seeds, sundried tomatoes and cheese. One can tell in the flavor that there is no gross processed vegan cheese but rather it is fabricated from real food and wholesome ingredients. The texture is perfected.

The café is super cozy and has good vibes. I went there twice and the staff was kind. Try their vegan wine, & peanut butter graham-cracker chocolate mousse. The desert was small but out of this world. Go !! ^_^

We tried 4 different kinds of pizza and all of them were really tasty! Staff and atmosphere were friendly. Definitely a great place to eat!

Very excited to try this pizzeria, but unfortunately it is a bit disappointing. The menu is exciting and novel, but the few creative dishes tried (burger pizza, hemp pizza) were not great.

The cheese is a bit disappointing, too: FM thinks pizza without cheese is the way to go, and this did nothing to change opinions on the matter. The toppings were good, not great; the base is worth an eat. Overall worth a try but Let It Be (just down the road) is a much better choice.

Pros: lovely decor, service can't be faulted, and good range on the menu.

it's an ok pizza place. kingdom for vegan junk food. too much junk for me. I like to eat vegan because I love veggie and fruit, I wish they will have a real healthy vegan version of a pizza, with a buckwheat crust or a cauliflower one. They put tone of "cheese", which is I guess what the people are looking for. I took once the calabrese and the preparation of the eggplant was disappointed, my partner as the gorgonzola and bacon and it was more tasteful.
For my taste too much choice on the menu instead of focusing on few specific preparation, too much processed ingredient, not enough freshness. But good for someone transitioning I guess.
The staff seem unfriendly but with a bit of work I catch a smile, I guess that also part of the atmosphere "vegan radical". I am more veggie peace and love

Super cozy all-vegan pizza place in Berlin. Huge menue, including traditional and simply Pizzas, but also green Pizzas, Indian Pizzas, Pizza Burgers and Burger Pizzas, Lasagne, Pasta, etc. Delicious! Usually very busy, so make sure to make a reservation if you come with a few people. Bring patience, it often takes about half an hour until Pizza is served. Its worth the wait though! :-)

My friend said I was crazy.

I went to this place in the early days and one year ago, but the pizzas were soggy and when you picked them up they would flop down from the middle, but a friend of mine who has been going there four times in last three months said that the base in now much crisper and she never had a soggy one.

So I will try again and let you know. Also the staff were quite grumpy for no apparent reason.

I think this is one of my favourite places in Berlin, so that says a lot.
I have been a big pizza fan all my life so entering a vegan pizzeria is really special to me. There are so many choices here that I always get a little stressed haha.
Everything I have tried so far has been really good and the service has always been friendly. I love the interior as well.

Really enjoyed the pizza here! Though we had a hard time figuring out the German menu.
I would definitely come back.

It is the best pizza in whole Berlin!!! The menu is huge, all pizza is with yummi vegan cheese. They also have pizzaburger (pizza with burger on it))) The average price for pizza is 8 euro. Everyone should try it) highly recommended!
+ they have spezi - lemonade with cola

The food is incredibly good and the variety huge! We had Pizza Hawaii, Smoothies and cake, everything was great and rich and totally satisfying.. Can't wait to go there again!!

The menu here is huge, there is loads of choice of pizzas, pastas and burgers. Good prices. We didn't book so ended up on a shared table outside (we visited on a Sunday evening), we felt there was a bit of a nicer atmosphere inside so best to book if you want to guarantee a table.

Nice cozy restaurant with a relaxed feeling. I hade the pasta carbonara (GF) which was perfectly cooked and my girlfriend hade a pizza and was stunned. We were both really excited about this place before and we weren't disapointed. Highly recommended.

I didn't have much time in Berlin but the little time I had, I had to use to visit one of the many vegan restaurants.. I choose Sfizy Veg and I'm glad I did!
One of the best pizzas I ever had in my life and the atmosphere was fantastic, there is self-service but this didn't bother me.. definately hoping I can go there again some time!

We rode out from the city in an overcrowded bus, 30min journey only to find that it's closed until early July!!!!

my favourite vegan pizza place there is. the only this is that the menu is huge. humongous. a little too much too choose from. but that's not really a bad point, is it?

I ate at Sfizy two years ago and unfortunately, it was not the best experience. The food is absolutely great, as evidenced by the many positive reviews here, but the place is dark and crowded, staff were unfriendly and last time I was there I had to wait for about 90 minutes for the food to arrive.

When I read they had stopped their delivery service, which I suspected was the reason for the long wait, I thought: let's try this again. I was right; it took only about 15-20 minutes this time. The lady serving us was grumpy (exactly as I remembered) but my overall experience was much better than last time!

This place is a pizza-lovers dream! There is so much variety it's almost impossible to choose. There are also options like pasta and calzone if you're in the mood for something different. A lot of vegan pizzas go easy on the cheezly, but this place doesn't! VERY cheesy (and oily) pizzas. If you're in the mood for some greasy and delicious junk food this place is for you. The servings are huge. It was very busy when I went there (on a Thursday night) and the service was pretty slow but worth the wait.

VEGAN PIZZA!!!!!!! nothing more to say.....very tiny place. go early!

I have been to Berlin many times now. Each time I head out on my vegan adventures, stumbling into amazing and average places alike. However, this was gold! 5 star service with 5 star food. The atmosphere resembles a mom and pop shop, similar to those I grew up with across Montreal as a young boy. The walls were littered with vintage and artistic expression. From posters to trinkets, each holding onto a story of someone's past. The tables and chairs all holding their own character. Each different, yet somehow, they combine to make the perfect small homelike restaurant appeal.

The food was beyond incredible. Tonight i feasted on both a green pizza (grüne rustica). It was so tasty. Every part lending itself to the pallet. The sauces tickled my tastebuds like an old Italian dance. Absolutely fantastic. The next dish held its own perfectly. Like a sequel to a movie that exceeds all expectations. I loved the Penette alla boscaiola that spent a short time in front of me! Lastly, it was all topped off by the last piece of cake they held in their precious protective case. It was unbelievably satisfying.

Thank you for the most amazing vegan experience I've ever had at a pizza place!

The best vegan Italian food Ive ever had!!
The Calzone was just amazing.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the stuff is very friendly too.

If you are vegan and miss cheese, absolutely have to visit this place! You can get amazing pizzas with all sorts of vegan cheeses! There is so much choice and the pizzas are delicious.

Went there few weeks ago with three friends and I do have to agree that the place is a bit too small resp. there is not much space between the table. Either there needs to be a bigger place or less tables.

But besides that I was really happy about having gone there! There is a HUGE choice of different pizzas - some with fake meat/sausage/..., some with normal vegetables (which was my choice). The size is definitely big enough :D
The prices are great - even for a non-vegan pizza somewhere else it would be a good price (well, maybe not compared to those abnormally cheap pizzas you sometimes get in Berlin)
The only thing to improve about the pizzas would be that the sauce could need some more spices (Oregano or Basil).

Afterwards I had a Stracciatella cake which was simply delicious !

I would go there again!

PS: apparently they can also prepare some gluten-free dough if you tell them in advance (whatever that means, but maybe just call there and ask!)

My husband and I recently took at short 5 day trip to Berlin and ended up eating her twice. It is fantastic. There is a huge menu with lots of options for pizza and also for calzones and pasta.
The first time we went, I ordered a calzone and he ordered a pizza. We went on a Saturday night and it took probably 2 hours to get our food. The restaurant is self-service in that you order your food at the bar and they bring it out to you, but you pay and take up your plates and all that. They don't come to your table and ask if you need anything. So the ambience wasn't the best, but it was all forgotten when the food came out. The pizza was awesome. The crust was just the right combination of thin and chewy. The calzone was also great and I haven't had a calzone in years.

On our last night in Berlin, we decided that we had to go back. It was much less crowded and the food came out much faster. I ordered pasta carbanara and my husband got a pizza. The pasta was great, it was cooked just right and the vegan cream sauce was excellent. As it was a carbonara, there was fake bacon included, but it was really more like fake smoked ham cubes.

I think everybody likes this place because: There is SO MUCH choice. I mean literally. The menu is never ending, which make it hard to choose. I've heard they've changed the menu since. But for me : too many options = poor quality or not fresh ingredients.
So: Amazing Vegan pizza place, you can have everything here from seafood pizza to salmon, to 4 cheeses... Waw! I've never heard of such another place before! it's quite unique. Always crowded even on brunches.
I had a pizza with vegs etc, pretty simple and it was good, even if I'm not a fan of vegan cheese, and especially there was only wheat dough so I couldn't finish, was to heavy and I would have been sick. But try it it's truly amazing!

The 100% vegan menu at Sfizy Veg is extensive. However, it is all in German and it was very difficult to decipher. The only waitress, taking orders and serving the fully packed restaurant, did not have time to answer queries. I went with a salami and three-cheese pizza which should have been phenomenal, but sadly it was not. The pizza came with blue cheese blobs. I have never been a fan of blue cheese and had I known this was an element of the pizza I would have ordered something else. My partner chose a calzone and a spicy pizza with pepper. He was very happy. Had I understood better what I was ordering I'm sure my choice of dinner would have been equally as amazing. As to say, the menu is vast so there is definitely something for everyone: pizza, pasta, spaghetti, calzones, pies, burgers, anti-pasta. There is even a burger pizza (pizza with a burger bun on top from what we could make out!) The service was fine, a little abrupt, but I think this could be expected given that the waitress was working under pressure alone. I would like to visit again at a quieter time and choose another dish, perhaps a carbonara with faux bacon and cheese sauce. I tried to order again but was told that the kitchen had closed. This was at 10.10pm - despite the Happy Cow description stating that the kitchen is open until 10.30pm. We dined outside and perhaps would not do this again. There were six unsupervised children from the local area running amok in the street. This did not contribute to what could have been a nice evening atmosphere.

On thursdays they have a buffet with pizza, salads, potatowedges and bread with stuff on top. Sometimes I thought I was eating cheese, how do they do that?? It was really really nice, but get there early because it can be busy!

As mentioned in other reviews, this place is a paradise for vegan people. Just choose one pizza of the many options and enjoy the atmosphere. It's really nice decorated with a lot of details. I ordered a pizza with eggplant and dried tomato and vegCheese and it was heavenly delicious! A little bit too salty but I think it's because of the dried tomatoes. I'm not a huge fan of vegan cheese but it was really delicious.

Visited this restaurant on a Friday evening so was very crowded but great place to enjoy calzones and pizza! I had the calzone with spinach and ricotta and my husband had the chili pizza. Huge servings! Definitely recommend if you're a fan of pizza or Italian. Located 1/2 mile from trainstop and close to another vegan restaurant.

The pizza was amazing! I had the "bacon ad Gorgonzola" (all vegan of course), and it was fantastic. The homemade vegan Gorgonzola melted in my mouth and had a lovely strong flavour. The crust was thin and crispy and chewy.

Definitely my favourite place in Berlin, since I love vegan pizzas. They offers a really large choice of pizzas, which are really large and yummy. We tried the calzone (excellent!) and the burger pizza that has a cheese burger on its center. Very nice! The staff is friendly and the place has a really nice vibe. Usually crowded on evenings, so do not hesitate to come early to have a seat.

As mentioned in another review, if you're vegan and you like pizza this is the place for you. There's something like 12 pages of pizza alone to choose from on top of foccacia, pasta and salads. I had the capricciosa pizza which was perfect. I wish I lived close enough so I could go here every week.

It is the best place to have a super junky vegan with cheese pizza I know. They also offer some crazy Pizzaburger - it is a Pizza and burger without the bread in the middle of the pizza... i dont understand it, but thats ok.

It is a lovely trashy place with the best pizza!

Heaven doesn,t exist as religion is nothing but a sick fairytale but this place is real and an absolute must for any vegan who likes pizza. In fact if you don,t like pizza this would be a good place to try something different, I had a bacon and cheese burger pizza with fries which meant i got an excellent bacon flavoured pizza with a burger and chips on top! The tiramisu was good too!

I just love this place. Staff is sometimes a bit stressed but that is understandable because of the work load.
The pizza tastes gorgeous, but you may have to wait quite a long time.

they have a huge selection of all kinds of pizza. i tried the "Pizza Genau" which had cheese, peperoni and vegan salami on top. it was delicious!
they also offer pasta and burgers, smoothies, beer, wine, ice cream, milkshakes and pastries.
i really recommend this place if you want a great pizza.
the only negative thing about my experience there was, that the place was crowded and we had to wait pretty long till our food was ready, during the day it would probably be less crowded.

Best vegan pizza I ever had. As you might read in the other reviews it´s quite crowded, but it´s a small place and really good, so that´s not a surprise.

If you are vegan you MUST go to this place. I had the double bacon cheeseburger pizza - the pizza has tomato, onions, cheese and ham and then in the middle they put bacon, beef patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato and pickle (all vegan mock meat of course). It is SOO good.

My partner had the Hawaiian pizza which he loved. The pizzas are HUGE!! And really cheap. He had a chocolate milkshake which comes with chocolate ice-cream which was really nice. He also had a green smoothie which was very good.

The menu is about 100 pages! So many choices. You can get veggie pizza, tofu, fish, bacon, currywurst, indian, chicken... the list goes on! Looks like awesome pasta options too. They have cake, tiramisu and panna cotta for dessert as well as the milkshakes.

They speak English!

So many Options!
I really loved everything but specialy the bacon pizza with the double Cheeseburger on it!

It was very complicated to figure out when they were actually open as they apparantly have different opening hours during the summer so the first time we went there it was closed. We came back later, and though it was very busy and small we managed to get a table. There was a steady stream of customers all night and for a while even a queue out on the street and it seemed to be very popular. The crowd inside was a mix of families and hipster and the atmosphere was very cool despite its size.

There were plenty of options on the meny and it was a little confusing and we had trouble deciding what to order. We had to wait a while for our pizzas, but it did't matter too much as we enjoyed some milkshakes while we waited. The pizzas were very high quality and looked and tasted great, but they were WAY too greasy as they were drenched in olive oil.

we also had some of the desserts and they were all fantastic.

Now that I've eaten here, I understand why there is always a long wait to get a table.

The food is really just great. Honest.

I'd definitely recommend going here for some great vegan pizza.

haben bisher erst zwei mal bestellt, aber waren echt zufrieden. das essen war immer sehr lecker und preislich war es auch ok. super, dass es jetzt auch einen veganen versand gibt.

I have been to Sfizy Veg a few times and enjoyed everything I ate! Last time I went with one other vegan and 3 vegetarians (2 of them are from Milan). Everyone enjoyed their pizza and the 2 Italians said that the taste was on par with what they expect from any good pizza and would love to go back:) We all had different pizzas and shared - We had a Tre Formaggi, a Thuna, a Genua , a Chorizo and one other that I don't remember the name of - we all agreed that they were all good. There were no complaints outside of the Chorizo on the Chorizo pizza not being as spicy as expected (by a native Californian). On other visits I have had the pear and blue cheese pizza and another that I can't remember the name of right now - they were both good. The atmosphere is casual and you can choose your seating (additional seating outside during warm weather) and you have to bring your own silverware and napkins from the front counter and should put your plates on a designated cart when you are finished. The also have good calazones, tortes and espresso drinks, and homemade ice cream in the summer. The only bad thing is that they have limited opening hours.

A Pizzeria-dream in vegan, absolutely recommendable!

Finally a 100% vegan pizzeria! Their huge selection has been mentioned here several times, and really, it is impressive. Meanwhile they have more that 100 sorts of pizza, and some other stuff: panini, pasta, salads, weekly Italian menus. And of course starters and desserts. My friends and me shared 3 different pizzas and all were very delicious, just a bit on the fatty side so I guess I couldn't have one of those every day. Portions were huge. We also had a very good fresh salad and a yummy cherry cake. And they offer quite a selection of drinks, including wine. The atmosphere is relaxed / alternative / left-wing. It is possible to borrow books on animal rights, vegan food etc. (mostly in German).

Fantastic tasty Pizza, a huge selection of over 50 variations! Low prices and friendly!

I ate one of these guys for dinner and an hour and a half later I'm still heaving full. By Berlin standards, Sfizy Veg ain't cheap but the portions are huge. I can't understand how everyone sitting in the crowded little pizzaria on a Wednesday evening finished the entire pizza sitting in front of them. Well, actually, I can. I did it. They're too tasty and satisfying to leave a crumb to waste.

I ordered the Alpen. A nicely cooked, chewy crust with a tomato sauce that seemed homemade, potato, brocoli, "cheese", "cream", sprinkled with black pepper. The brocoli had been pre-boiled, rather than blanched so was unfortunately a little bit mushy. The potato was in quite big chunks and hadn't had the chance to crisp up in the oven at all. The fake dairy stuff was good enough to fool me - rich and delicious. The toppings on my pizza were generous but looking around at what others were eating, some seemed a little bit sparse.

I'd recommend sharing with a friend because while I really enjoyed the first half of my pizza, I was too full to really appreciate the second half. My fault, should've taken half away. Or better still, picked one up to go, stopped by the supermarket on the way home for some salad greens and a bottle of wine and shared with a friend and a movie.

The premises themselves are really cute and cosy though, which you would miss if you just went for takeaway. Soft lighting, kitschy artefacts and pictures on the walls and a corner bookshelf make it a nice casual date destination. It does get crowded though and you might end up backed into a corner, having to step over baby wagons and dogs to make your way out.
Updated from previous review on Wednesday November 14, 2012

i was excited to try sfizy, because a few friends in berlin had talked it up. unfortunately, i was incredibly disappointed on the two different occasions i ate there. my first try was one of their calzones. it was possibly the worst calzone i have ever had... the filling mainly consisted of over-cooked spinach and watered down marinara sauce. i decided to try it one more time, and got two very mediocre slices of pizza on my last visit. i really wanted to like sfizy, but the food that i tried just wasn't good.

Pizza. Pizza pizza pizza. Pizza!

Sorry for the opening line, but I had to say it. Vegan pizzeria! Even if the pizzas were not so good, it would still be great to eat there. Luckily, the pizzas are good. So let me just say once more: Pizza pizza pizza. Thank you.

Ok, so like people wrote here, there is a huge selection of pizzas (and spaghettis. But who cares about spaghetti when there is pizza?). Personally I tried the four cheeses pizza (I think it's called there in Italian, "quatro formaggi pizza") and the spinach and Ricota cheese pizza. They were both good, especially the four-cheeses one. It was an interesting experiment to eat four different kinds of non-cheese cheeses pizza.

The pizzas are huge and although I am famous in my eating abilities, it wasn't easy to finish them all by myself. I did finish them of course, both because I have enough self respect to always finish from the plate, and because the pizzas were too good to give up on a slice.

The pizzas are not perfect. Sometimes they are a little burned on the sides. The dough is tough to cut with a knife, and if you don't know that there is a special self-service tool to cut the pizza to slices, you will have problems to deal with pizza. You can't eat the whole full pizza with your hands. The shakes are ok but have too much soy-milk and not enough fruit.

A disadvantage is the limited opening hours. This doesn't leave much time to eat there as a tourist, and when the place is open, it's usually crowded, although I could always find some space to sit.

Another disadvantage is the location. I walked there from the Karl-Marx-Strasse u-bahn station, and it wasn't a pleasant walk in the evening. It's dark with some groups of men hanging around. I felt intimidated as a male (and I'm extremely tough male, of course!), and I wouldn't walk there if I was a woman.

But really the important thing here is the pizza, and it's much more important that the small disadvantages.

I haven't actually BEEN to the restaurant, so it is a bit weird to give a review, but I did get delivery from there, so here goes. The Menu is EXTENSIVE. Online, I could only find the German version so it was tough for me to order - I misunderstood one of my translations (pepper - thinking "bell pepper" in American, but meant hot pepper). Because of that, the pizza wasn't quite what I was expecting, but if I was ever in the area, I'd want to try it again. Crust is thin and crispy, sauce is thick and cheeze was decent (maybe daiya?), toppings were plentiful.

This place is situated in a somewhat rundown part of Berlin that is popular among students with low income and immigrants and a bit too far away from trendy Kreuzkölln if you are easily scared by authentic people.
It used to be a cheap takeaway that has been transformed into the first vegan pizzeria in Europe. It is definitly not a fancy candlelight dinner restaurant, it is fairly small, self-service and a bit crunchy-granola. This said it is still a vegan's dream come true.
There is so much to chose from it is confusing at first. The pizzas are imaginative, most classics are there, too, they taste just as good as if you went to a pizzeria in Rome, safe for the fake cheese and salami/prosciutto/tuna of course. They are dirt cheap, drinks are cheap, too, there's pasta, cake for desert, focaccia.
So if you are looking for candles and red/white table cloth, don't come here. If you want a huge selection of vegan pizza that tastes great and is an absolute steal for the money (and will be delivered to your home/hotel in Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Treptow for a small charge) then this is the place to be.

The amount of different styles of pizza is absolutely amazing - some are a bit strange, though (baked beans on pizza?). A pizza costs around six Euro and is thus really well priced. Also try their jacket potatoes! This place is definitely worth going to.

Rixdorf and NK in general is becoming a vegan hotspot! I was beyond excited when I saw Sfizy's sign: Vegetarian Italian Cooking. Everything is vegan and reasonably priced. I tried the Bacon Cheezy Burger and was pleased, but not thrilled. The burger was fine, sauce and tomato good, but the lettuce was well past peak. The potato chunks were excellent though. The second trip was far more rewarding. A "Giro Pizza Classico" for two was actually enough for two people and was delicious. The crust was fairly chewy, vegan cheese was cheesy, the toppings were excellent. The sauce was lacking, as were the herbs. I will forgive that, but perhaps a seasonings/condiments tray somewhere would be a nice touch.

I have to admit, however, that I was a little put off by the service. The pizza was put down on the table with few words and no table ware. I sat for a full five minutes or so before I realised that I must get my own steak knife to hack at the pizza, and then just make a mess on the table with no plate. This is fine, but not how I am used to eating. The ambiance in general was cozy, but not actually comfy. The chairs were too big for the tables and the tables were far too close together. As much as I wanted to read several of the books in the bookshelf behind me, I would rather have had the extra leg room. A stereo behind my head made conversation very difficult. The lights in the cooler chest of drinks were bright and made the place look like a spaetkauf. Hey, I'm picky, but hopefully someone out there is listening. One other thing: DESSERT. An Italian restaurant with NO DESSERT? pff! I can't always go to Vux, it closes at 7, so please add some desserts (like Tiramisu, mousse, whatever!)

Even with the negatives, I look forward to many return visits to Sfizy.
