Cruzer Pizza & Pasta

Old- school vegans couldn’t have dreamt of such a place: A 100% meat-and-dairy free pizza parlor that’s also gluten-free (wheat dough is available upon request). And this is no sleek and modern spot, slinging words like “artisanal" and "local"—this is a joint, a tiny shop staffed with fresh-mouthed dough slingers. How are the pies? Delicious. If you go GF (gluten-free), you’ll get a rice-based dough that's airier than wheat. While lacking that glutinous chew, it still has enough variation of texture and crispness to satisfy. Choose a variety of faux meats, including a wholly convincing "pepperoni," or try a specialty pie like the popular Philly Cheese Steak Pizza. There’s not much space to dig into a slice, so get yours to go or opt for delivery if you’re in the area.
