I hear this is a very popular place among vegans in DC (our roommate said it was the best pizza in DC), but I wasn't too impressed. They do have soy cheese which is great, but they don't have ANY mock meats which is too bad. I tried two different pizzas; the Bosco was so so, but the one with caramelized onions (I don't remember its name) on the other hand was great.
Disadvantages: 1) No fake meats; 2) it took me a long time to order because it was hard to imagine what veganized versions of their non-vegan pizzas might taste like; 3) no big pizzas you can share with others; 4) so so taste, 5) No vegan desserts!
Advantages: 1) Soy cheese; 2) thin crust pizza; 3) good service.
Ella's pizza is SOOOOOOOOOO good. They use Follow Your Heart cheese and must put it under the broiler becaus it actually melted. My friend and I ordered 3 pizzas:
-Margarita (plain crust / vegan mozz) & we added cheese - Delicious!
-Verdura (Artichokes, olives, tomatoes, vegan mozz) - My favorite!
-Some other kind with spinach, olives, and vegan mozz) - Not my fav, but still pretty good
Our server was very friendly and extremely knowledgable and told us everything on the menu that was vegan or could easily be made vegan.
