Galactic Pizza
Twin Cities, Minnesota

For me, the vegan cheese bread was so ho-hum I could have done the same with a couple of slices of italian bread and shredded cheese in a grocery store microwave and had the same result.

The wild rice pizza with morel mushrooms was a real treat though!

Nice people, good atmosphere.

I'm glad to say Galactic Pizza has regained its crown as the best vegan pizza maker in the Twin Cities. They just recently started offering Daiya vegan cheese which hopefully will wash away the dark memories of their Chicago Soydairy Teese days. Daiya looks and acts like cheese and tastes pretty damn good to boot. It's superior to every other rice or soy-based cheese in the US market.

Galactic Pizza makes wonderful vegan pizzas, with numerous topping choices, including local, seasonal CSA options and Minnesota-centric things like wild rice. Their crusts are absolute perfection---crispy, thin, light and golden. I can honestly say that I crave Galactic Pizza quite often. They also have killer, gourmet vegan cheesecake from a famous local Minneapolis cheesecake maker, Muddy Paws (now that Muddy Paws only does catering, Galactic is the only place in Uptown to get your fix for a slice, rather than a whole cake).

The service is consistently friendly. The interior decor is hip, retro and funky. They deliver in an electric pod car and wear superhero costumes. I love it.

Prices for their pizzas are a bit high, especially considering how light their pies are (I can finish off a medium in ten minutes); on the other hand, the quality of their vegan cheese, their unusual vegan topping choices, and their delicious crust, makes it worth every penny.
