If you’re near downtown Los Angeles you should stop by Purgatory Pizza. They offer rustic handmade pizzas with plenty of vegan toppings and Daiya cheese. You can get the usual veggies including green peppers, garlic, tomato, onion, olives, mushrooms and more. They also have basil, pineapple, artichokes and sundried tomato. Add some delicious Gardein Chicken or Field Roast Italian Sausage to one of your pizzas or try the Sundried Tomato Loaf (which I LOVE). They make their pesto without parmesean cheese so it’s vegan friendly.
Last weekend I stopped by and picked up a simple pie with pesto, olives, green peppers and Daiya cheese which is pictured below. I would have gotten a better picture had I not eaten half of the pizza in the car before I took it. Needless to say Purgatory’s pizza is amazing! And I was excited to see on their menu after I got home that they are now offering a Vegan Pesto Chicken Sandwich with Gardein chicken, pesto, vegenaise, tomato, spinach and basil on a french roll as well as a Vegan Grilled Cheese with Daiya cheddar and tomatoes on sourdough. I’ll be stopping by some time this week to try them both (stay tuned for pics and reviews).
They have another sandwich listed, the Italian Sausage Sandwich, which is not offered as vegan but I imagine they would be willing to substitute the field roast sausage and daiya cheese. It also has onions, bell peppers and marinara.
Take a look at their online menu for prices and a full list of toppings. They deliver with a $10 minimum purchase. Seating is available to eat inside but there are only a couple tables. I’ve never been for lunch (only pickup around dinner time) but I imagine if they get busy it would be hard to eat inside. But this pizza is good enough to eat standing up in a corner if you ask me!
