The hours posted on the door of Juliano's Pizza, a vegan pizzeria on Capitol Hill, read "Noon-3 a.m." Apparently these hours are subject to change at Juliano's will, as a "Will Return At…" sign frequently graces the often locked front door.Juliano's is a small one room restaurant located on Pine Street and Minor Avenue. The single room is adorned with birthday gift bags, Christmas ornaments, bike gears, googly-eyed drawings and posters on the walls. Faux grapevines twist along the ceiling while snowboards rest on the wall and medieval armor hangs behind the counter.Juliano's offers vegan, gluten-free and "traditional" pizzas and calzones. Calzones and 12-inch pizzas are "glutenful" and 10-inch pizzas are gluten-free with a plethora of toppings to

choose from. There is one vegan cheese option, a "mozzarella." Along with regular meat toppings, vegan meats are available too.The menu denotes which toppings are vegan and gluten-free.Pizza can be ordered by the slice, quarter-pie or half-pie.Salads and other bread sides are available, even vegan cheesebread. Juliano himself cooked and served garlic bread and a 12-inch glutenful pizza with vegan "mozzarella," basil (topped with balsamic vinegar), tomatoes and olives. The crust was crunchy and crumbly, delicately dusted with herbs and like nothing this writer has ever tasted before. The garlic bread is made from the same crust, topped with garlic and cheese, and cut into generous slices. The vegan cheese tastes just like regular cheese; however, the consistency is a little different. It doesn't quite melt the same but it is just as delicious. Toppings can get expensive though. The pizza and garlic bread

was $26, but it was definitely worth the price. It's been reported that Juliano's Pizza is a hotspot for midnight pizza, so call ahead if you plan on coming in late and don't want to wait. Juliano said they have a karaoke machine and often bust it out on random weeknights. He said they also host a lot of birthday parties, which explains the gift bags on the wall. Juliano's Pizza is a fun and eclectic hole in the wall located at 1211 Pine St. Vegan or not, it is worth the walk for a pizza experience one won't find anywhere else.

Interesting post. This place is about 10 min from where I work. I

have yet to go there though. My husband and I favor Pizza Pi which is

also nearby and a completely 100% vegan pizzaria.
