| - If you're vegan/gluten free - listen up! I'm both. And I know how hard it is to find good gluten free, especially when it has to be vegan also.
I heard about Good Pie from suggestions made to another local vegan/gluten free gal on the Las Vegas Vegans Facebook. After leaving the Lights game at Cashman tonight I decided I wanted pizza.. a good pizza.. and we came to the right place.
I ordered online on the website which had such a great and easy app. I set my order around 10:25 and was immediately notified by email that it'd be ready at 10:38. We got the vegan pizza on gluten free crust. There was a note that vegan cheese was not offered yet so I wasn't feeling too excited but I was hungry enough to keep an open mind! So we took the risk. We weren't far so we got there quickly. Definitely a hidden gem next to that tv pawn shop. We almost missed it!
Tom was our cook and I think the girl who greeted us is named Rachel (I am SO sorry I forgot and am not entirely sure if I remember the name correctly) she was a cute young girl with dyed red hair. She gave us such a great introduction, and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. When I double checked with her that I got the gluten free crust and that it was still vegan, she reassured me saying orders marked gluten free have it big and bolded because they know how serious people's reactions to gluten may be. She then told me about how the owner really won an award for that crust, and how the person who got first place was one of his students. What a great story! Imagine winning twice like that. I was really excited to try it.
Now if you've been gluten free for a while you know what to expect from GF anything. Sandy, heavy, chewy, etc. The pizza was still hot in the car when I decided to dive in to a slice and I was so impressed! There is crisp, fluff, dimension.. this is probably the best gluten free bread-ish product I've ever had. And vegan on top of it! I was so so impressed.
I think I was on my second slice when I absent-mindedly told my boyfriend "I actually don't miss the cheese." And he responded that he really didn't either, that it still tastes great and doesn't feel like cheese-less pizza. I don't know how to explain it.. the texture of the crust up too where the sauce was held was interesting enough to substitute for the cheese. I can't imagine how great it will be once the vegan cheese does make it to Good Pie - shoot I may even request their pizza without cheese!
So if you're holding off on trying a yummy vegan pizza from Good Pie because they currently don't offer vegan cheese - you're a dummy! Try it anyway!
Another note - I am currently 38 weeks pregnant. My pizza had peppers as a topping as well as a decent amount of the marinara sauce.. and tomatoey things (to my heartbreak and dismay) contribute to very, very bad heartburn. I don't know what Good Pie does but the tomato sauce was very flavorful, but neutral, not bitter like other marinara sauces - in a good way - I got NO heartburn from it. Not even the next day.. it didn't cause any heartburn in my poor pregnant self at all! I've been avoiding Italian foods specifically for that. Even Good Pie's tomato sauce tasted amazing and didn't give me heartburn! I was so happy.
I can't wait to go back. The pizza was great, the environment reminds me of family owned pizza shops in LA, the staff was so kind, it's been such a long time since I've been SO impressed. Every detail about the pizza and experience was wonderful. It took me days to write this review. Thank you Good Pie!!
