Denver Restaurant Week... Goes Vegan!

February 23rd kicked off Denver Restaurant Week, a celebration of Denver's food & culinary scene. So in honor of DRW, we're going out!

This weekend we decided to try a new pizza place that gave us lots of vegan choices: Pizza Fusion on Colfax and Pearl. This place popped up back when we lived in Cap Hill, but we never made it over. After a quick internet search on what vegan options Pizza Fusion offered, I was starting to get hungry!

Pizza Fusion, a chain in Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Ohio, not only caters to vegans, but also to those who are gluten-free, vegetarian, or just looking to eat at a place that has a very long list of Eco-friendly initiatives (including delivering in hybrid cars & and using mostly organic ingredients).

 Almost all of their pizzas can be made vegan, along with some of their sandwiches and salads. But focus on the pizza, people. YUM. The crust is the perfect thin-ish thickness, and available in multi-grain. We ordered the Farmer's Market pizza with Daiya and whoa my goodness, did it hit the spot. They also have a vegan chicken product, and a couple of other non-dairy cheese options to choose from. They even have a Very Vegan pizza on the menu! Our Farmer's Market pizza was absolutely loaded with veggies and cooked perfectly. The large was perfect for 2 people with enough to take home for lunch the next day!

I was pretty impressed with this place and happy to have given it a whirl. They also have a pretty killer Happy Hour: 3-6 M-F, and all day Sunday with $3 personal pizzas, $3 organic beers and wines. They had Asher Brewing on tap when we visited.

All in all, I really recommend this place. The pizza is delicious and they're doing their part to make our world a better place!
