We were told how awesome the place was so, my 20-year-old son and I tried it last year. We are confirmed meat-loving omnivores who LOVE pizza and we EAT EVERYTHING. We tried the "cheeseburger" pizza and the spicy jalapeno pizza and I guess we don't do well on the vegan spectrum, as they both were horrible. We both commented about the compromise in taste to certify it as a vegan menu item. The vegan cheese had a weird aftertaste and the fake impossible/beyond meats were weird in texture and taste. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-32438741040863422222022-08-16T23:27:57.762-04:002022-08-16T23:27:57.762-04:00Well I'm sure "PBP" will be missed b...Well I'm sure "PBP" will be missed by all 16 of you.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01134920570439216678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-23608336647057522902022-08-16T12:04:15.036-04:002022-08-16T12:04:15.036-04:00The ignorance of people in these comments.

The concept was not structured for any great success. The price points were just too high for pizza in general and for the neighborhood. I believe their notion of plant-based comes from the trend of veganism in the African-American culture which is born out of the notion that eating animals is repressive. this trend became even more famous when New York City’s new mayor kept repeating or rather defending his alleged veganism in about a dozen seemingly back to back press conferences reiterating that he practices veganism. I think an entire establishment devoted to the plant-based pizza notion may be a little before its time. Everyone knows you can go to any pizza shop and pile on the veggies and poof you’d have your own plant-based pizza, which is normalized. I am not vegan or vegetarian however I prefer only veggies on my pizza with no meat. if you wanted to go deeper than the grains-based crust, most pizza shops now offer cauliflower crust as an option. The center does not strike me as one that is a “destination” and would not have sustainable traffic. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
