La Grande Orange - LGO
I haven't been to LGO in about five years. After finally returning to Arizona of course we had to go to LGO. Known for their pizza of course I got a veggie pizza, made vegan. They have a huge selection of vegetarian pizzas including vegan pizzas with vegan cheese!!!!!!!!!! Yes you read that right vegan cheese, and it is super tasty vegan cheese.
The have a happy hour cocktail menu that is a super great deal, 5 bucks a drink, from 4-6 PM I believe it is.
For starters we had the chips with guacamole and pimento cheese, I didn't have the cheese dip because it wasn't vegan. But it did try the salsas that came with the appetizer and they all were loaded with flavor! The chips were super crunchy which was a plus.
I ordered the Mother Earth with no cheese (making it vegan) and it was wonderful! It was packed with a huge amount of veggies! I would have wished it would have been recommended to put vegan cheese on it because that would have made it even better.
The service was great and as always it was really busy. We got there just in time to avoid waiting long but weren't able to park in the front because all the spots were taken. However they have plenty of parking spots in the rear of the store with valet parking.
I highly recommend you walk through the LGO Grocery store connected to the restaurant. There are a lot of unique gifts, home goods, a to go deli to order from, and dessert!!! See some of the snaps I took below.
And guess what?! There are vegan desserts. They had a vegan apple cookie, which I had to try, and I was mind blown by how moist the cookie was. It also wasn't too sweet which made me happy.
