[SFBAVeg]Great pizza in SF with Vegan cheese!!

[Guest guest]

Hey Everyone,

 

There is a really great pizza place in the Upper Haight called Panhandle Pizza.

It's located on Hayes Street near Cole. They offer soy cheese as an option but

until now it contained Casine and was therefore not vegan. However, I spoke with

the owner who is a really nice guy and he agreed to use vegan soy cheese in the

future from the " FOLLOW YOUR HEART " Company. Their pizza is especially yummy.

They use a cornmeal curst and puts lots of veggies on their veggie pizza

including broccoli! Please give them a try.

I have no financial interest in this company what so ever.

After Warren's post, we were keen to check this place out. There's a few

vegetarian flavors on the menu. We ordered the one called " Vegetarian " and

specified vegan soy cheeze... It was loaded with vegetables, great flavor

and simply delicious.

 

If you're looking for a great pizza, we echo Warren's recommendation.. Check

'em out: http://www.sfpizza.com/

 

Thank you Warren for getting the owner to carry vegan cheeze AND for telling

us all about it. Can't wait for another opportunity to try it :-)

 

Did anyone else try this after Warren's post? If so, would be curious to

know as when we ordered, they weren't sure if they had any vegan cheeze left

as they'd run out and had to get more!

 

Cheers,

Tammy

I Drove from Noe Valley all the way to " panhandle

pizza " ! It was worth it. I would recommend adding

crushed peppers, oregano, and garlic salt since the

" soy cheese " is a little tasteless, but the Pizza was

overall delicious.

 

We should have a Vegan Pizza Party at this place

Why are we so stuck on animal products that we have to eat allegories? Can

we learn to live without cheese or it's imitations? Can we eat at an Asian

restaurant without fake meats? I've had really good cheese-less pizza (it

starts with a great crust). To me, that's a real test of a pizza-maker.

 

I'm allergic to soy, but I know vegans (chefs and otherwise) who feel tofu

& other soy products are overdone and overrated. They are hi-fat, difficult

to break down and fairly (entirely?) unnecessary in a vegan diet.

 

I don't like having to tell Golden Lotus to serve me only vegetables.

Everything on their menu comes with at least 6 different meat allegories,

even the items listed as vegetables.

 

It would really be educating the public, restaurants and others, to show how

we can live not only without meat, but without meat & cheese imitations.

It's as if we can't wean ourselves off of meat and cheese. (Don't get me

wrong, I eat seitan and soy free cheese imitations as a treat.... not as a

steady diet and not even every time I eat out)

 

As vegans, we should lead the way ..... really showing the meat and dairy

industry that we can live without them, their products, and their

imitations.

 

Anyone else feel this way? Guess I've been reading so much about how great

the vegan pizza-with-fake-cheese is at Panhandle , I finally had to say

something. I know I'm sticking my neck out on this.

Great points Marcy.

 

I'm with you... why go through the hassle of soy cheese and all the

fake-meats out there. Has anyone bothered to read the ingredients to

that stuff? Not only is it high in fat, it's so processed and removed

from the food chain I have a hard time figuring out what the raw parts

of it might have been. okay, they aren't as processed as your average

white bread and hotdog, however it isn't a pure as good bean burrito

(hold the cheese), or a simple no-cheese pizza, or a veggie grill

sandwich. As for Asian food, I'd love to find a place that doesn't

stick soy " ham " in everything on the menu. Soy or not, why bother.

 

So, I'm with you Marcy, we might as well rock the boat a little. Oh,

not that I'm perfect... notice all my favorite dishes are hot. Haven't

moved over to raw yet.

Marcy,

 

Some of us are Vegan due to health reasons.

 

I believe in " choices " . If you don't want to eat

Meat/Cheese alternatives... then don't. As it is, the

meat and Cheese alternatives taste good and some of us

choose to eat them!

Yaron-

 

You state the obvious. I guess taste is why many people still eat animal

products..... And because they choose to!

 

(No one is trying to stop you from your choices. It's just another

opionion, another viewpoint being expressed. Hopefully we're all allowed.

But I was challenging the predominant viewpoint being expressed, and I

realized that.)
