Sorry Chicago, but when I think of pizza in the USA I think of one place: New York City. Maybe it's the water, maybe it's the history or maybe it's just the fragrant smell of pizza that wafts down the street and into your nose as you pass any street corner pizza shop. Even those crummy-looking pizza spots seem to smell like pizza heaven. New York City is a pizza-lovers playground.
Vegan Pizza. Vegan pizza used to mean ordering a basic pie, sans the oozy-gooey dairy cheese. All veggie toppings on top and upon ordering, it was a pretty safe bet that you'd get a questioning look or sigh of "huh?" from the waiter or smug phone guy. "No cheese? That's not pizza!" I've heard it more than once...
Luckily, vegan pizza had evolved. Even non-vegans are interested in the trendy Daiya cheese and spelt crust pie options at many NYC pizza hotspots. And outside of say, Naples, Italy - I say the place for pizza is NYC. Even vegan pizza. Get my list of NYC vegan pizza faves...
