Ate at Pizzi-Pi this past weekend.

This past weekend my family stopped at Pizza-Pi in the University District in Seattle. It was my first visit there and I thought I'd report back.

Pizza-Pi is a vegan (dairy, egg and meat free) pizza place. They also offer gluten free pizza crusts in the small 9" size. As a note, they do use quite a bit of soy.

Pizza-Pi is a tiny little hole in the wall place on University Ave just north of 50th. It doesn't have much in the way of ambiance, so don't expect anything. There are a few tables, and they even have candles on them, but it is an otherwise bare bones operation. But they know how to make good pizza.

My son and I were a bit disappointed when we realized that we couldn't get pepperoni. Somehow when I think vegan I forget that it doesn't just mean no dairy and no eggs, but no meat too. I'm a bit strange that way. They do have some vegan meatlike options, such as pepperoni, but those have gluten in them.

Anyway, we ordered 2 pizzas, the Veggie and the Riccota Kalamata. The Veggie comes with Marinara Sauce, Artichokes, Black Olives, Oven Roasted Garlic, and Sundried Tomatoes. The Riccota Kalamata comes with Marinara Sauce, Spinach, Capers, Kalamata Olives, and Cashew Ricotta.

It only took them 15 minutes to make the pizzas. They had a very nice thin crust, the taste was very good. We both enjoyed our pizzas. I'm not much for describing food, but it certainly didn't lack for flavor, and I felt like not only was I eating pizza, but having a very fresh and healthy meal. I also found that the price was within reason.

I hope to eat there again, or maybe do a take-out. You can learn more about what they have to offer by visiting www.pizza-pi.net.
