I finally got to stop in to check out this fabled "vegan pizza by the slice" that I kept hearing rumors about. Lo and behold - there is was! $3 for a GIANT, floppy slice of grilled veggies with a great crust and sauce. I was walking around Dinkytown, and this was the perfect food to accompany me on my journey.
I enjoyed being able to just have one slice of pizza rather than having to order a whole pizza to carry around or no pizza at all. Great addition to Dinkytown and I look forward to my next slice or whole pizza!

I thought the vegan pizza here would have soy or rice cheese, but it does not. It doesn't have mockmeat toppings either. That said, they had one slice left of their "vegan pizza", which has a perfectly light and crispy crust, a semi-sweet and salty red sauce, and a TON of grilled vegetables as toppings (zucchini, bell peppers, artichoke, mushrooms, onions, etc.). The slice, costing only $3, was excellent.
I'm not sure this place qualifies as "vegan-friendly" simply because it was smart enough to realize it's in Dinkytown and should offer at least one vegan item, but the quality of the taste and the reasonable price for the slice makes this a good joint. If they only start adding soy cheese and some mockmeat toppings (Galactic Pizza and Pizza Luce have both), this place would get a lot more patronage from at least one vegan.
