Spaks is located near where I work so it has become a lunchtime favorite.
I try to stay as healthy as possible when lunching throughout the week because I know that when the weekend hits I'll be taking down some calorie inflating meals.
I first started ordering the salads. I would get the garden salad stocked full of tomato, cucumber, peppers, roasted chicken and an egg. Protein "loco" or "loca" cuz I'm a chick! The chicken is very tender and juicy, the egg when added to the salad is sunny side fried? A little strange but doable. Now the greens I have a problem with! Romain would make such a difference. They get the standard mixed greens but at times it can be pretty bitter. Too much "octopus" lettuce that is hard to chew. The last time I ordered the salad was greasy from the egg and I can't get it anymore.
One of the reasons we order from Spaks is because the Dr. at my practice is super strict about her diet and enjoys the vegan friendly choices. Faux pepperoni, cheese, wings, and seitan. I've tried them all and they are scrumptious! Now when we order I get the seitan melt. Not the salad option that I prefer but until I can get some Romain it will do. Ok it's better than "it will do" Soft buttery bread with all the veggie fixings I require. I think I just feel guilty because of the high carb count in the bread.
The pizza is also well made, one of the best in Pitt. Of course the most outstanding item on the menu is the seitan wings, spicy and crunchy just how I like them!
