This place is great for a (somewhat) late night snack and is a really good hangout. They usually offer about 5 or 6 kids of vegan pizza but they tend to run out at the end of the night. My favorites are the Sicilian (spicy marinara on white crust) and the Picante (spicy vegan sausage and peppers). Unfortunately, the soy cheese they use isn't vegan and the "garlic knots" aren't very good--although they're really cheap.
