Austin Vegan Pizza Guide

I feel like maybe we have hit peak pizza in town so it’s time for a guide! Actually, there is plenty of room for more, get to it new Austinites from Italy, New York, New Haven, Chicago, and California! Check out Penny’s Portal if you need a list of vegan and gluten-free.

Lil Nonna’s – This trailer on the eastside at the Buzzmill has incredible New York style Pizzas and square Sicilian style pieces by the slice. They have housemade vegan cheeses and meats (omg the beetaroni) and spectacular seasonal specials like fig and homemade goat cheese or a Caprese with vegan fresh mozzarella slices, locally grown golden tomatoes, and watermelon balsamic vinaigrette. GF crust available. Delivery available from Amazon Prime Now or Favor.

Via 313 – What started as a trailer has now blossomed to an empire with restaurants and trailers all over town. This Detroit Style pizza is pretty much the love of my life. They use Follow Your Heart vegan cheese, and have a spicy tempeh on the menu along with the standard toppings. I love the trailer on Rainey street behind Craft Pride where you can sit on the patio and try out amazing Texas craft brews and the other one on the eastside at the Violet Crown, but the restaurants in Oak Hill and on the Drag have air conditioning and parking. And the no wait app! 

The Parlor – Also on Guadalupe “Home of the first Vegan pie in Austin. Gourmet toppings made in-house by Austin Vegan Meats. Full bar, great wine, local craft brews, daily happy hours. Pinball machines, jukebox with everything from The Clash & Billy Holiday to Slayer & Jimi Hendrix. Outside shaded patio, and lots of indoor seating. Order at the bar, and seat yourself.”

Counter Culture – If you are looking for creative vegan specials and a gluten free crust this vegan restaurant will not disappoint. They have a really tasty corn based crust and ever changing specials like Gumbo Pizza with local okra, zucchini, corn, blackened tempeh, setian sausage, and spicy aioli or brie and apple with spinach, fig sauce, and carmelized onions. Spaghetti squash and beet ball pizza below.
