Neapolitan style Pizza
Pizza Nea's menu offers a good selection of pizzas (with red sauce or white). Many are already vegetarian. While none of the pizzas on their menu is vegan, the staff is happy to help you "veganize" one by omitting the cheese or any other ingredients you might not want.
On the corner of University and Hennepin in northeast. Directly across the street from Surdyks.

This pizza is really really good. Simple, with top of the line ingredients - so the flavors stand out nicely. As has been said, the crust is simply amazing. I don't think I've ever had crust that good before.
Skip the Crotini appetizer - it's five bucks and really not worth the money. Sure, it's good, but there's not enough food to justify it, IMO.
Also, a word of advice - ask to substitute another topping for cheese, rather than order the cheeseless pizza and add toppings. The Marinara pizza (no cheese) is $6.50, and it's $1.50 to add a topping to it. We had asked earlier about substituting, and she said we could - but we didn't choose to do it that way for some reason.
Many options and friendly staff! It doesn't seem to differ alot from the other local neopolitan pizza joint, but it's darn good.
Joe Vegan recommends: Definitely try this place out. It would be a nice place for a date. Nice decor, friendly staff, nice prices, and excellent pizza.
A friend and I split the verdure pizza but we switched it to a red sauce and asked to leave off the cheese. It made a great little lunch.
The pizza is really good, which is the only reason why we came back the second and third time. The service all three times was awful however. The first time, the food took forever and they gave my husband someone else's pizza. The second time, we were the only diners and the server was clearly annoyed (even though they were still open for an hour and a half). There was no formal tasting of the wine. She just sloppily poured it in to our 3 glasses. She never asked how the wine or the food was. In fact she never even cleared our dishes. It sucked considering we brought our houseguest from Spain with us. The third time was with my visiting parents on a weekend. Again rude service heavy on the "Minnesota nice". Never again.
