    Born and raised in LA here and the best vegan pizza in LA is Pizza Presto in Pico Rivera! They are not an all-vegan pizza place but their vegan bacon chicken ranch pizza is my favorite of all time! They have so many vegan friendly options. Also, secret vegan pizza is one of my favs too

    You may watch 'Ghetto Vegan,' i think they live near L.A,, so they review restaurants around there...Also, i don't recommend buying Thrive Market's Hemp seeds (hearts), i found many black beetles with many waste products in it...i must have gotten an old bag, because there were a ton, and i had been eating from it without looking at it...This was last year or something...So, whichever brand you buy, you might want to check, but especially Thrive Market...🍓✨🌿

  • @astrizperez265

    Next time you should try Purgatory or Pura Vita! Purgatory's deep dish pizza is a favorite of mine they make their vegan rioccta in house and it's so so good plus order a side of vegan ranch for dipping (extra indulgent) and it's chef's kiss. From Pura Vita I love their Amelia pizza it's topped with arugula which I personally love as a pizza topping so it's my go to there, but the Diavolina pizza is a close second!

    So many of the frozen pizza companies lately are loading theirs with the fake vegan meats. I'm vegan and don't really miss or want that on my pizza not only due to the textures and flavor, but also the highly processed element. Gimme a great sauce, some delicious veggies and a passable vegan cheese and I'm lovin' it.

    I was really impressed by Hot Tongue the one time I went there too! The slices were better fresh, than the next day, but I love pesto options!
    Forever Pie I've been to twice and at least in my experience where they really shine is that they are open late and even better: they have a "reverse happy hour" special for night owls during their last couple of hours where you can get two slices and a drink for a discounted price. Even adding on a 20% tip I still remember the bill being around $15 which for LA: is a bargain. I ignored their recommendation the first time, but their McLovin slice was probably the best out of the four slices I have tried so far, and really brought me back to some flavors I hadn't remembered since childhood but in a pizza slice form instead of a fast food burger. Last time I was in, apparently they had just added sandwiches too? I'll probably try one some other time. It surprised me how few late night vegan restaurants were open in LA, so I was grateful to find them as an OK option before heading back to NorCal on some of my SoCal concert ventures.
    I look forward to trying Secret Pizza.
    At the moment the SF Bay Area no longer has any all vegan pizza providers since Oakland's Pizza Plaza closed a while back. Above Ground does occasional pop ups at Millennium in Oakland which is probably the best I've had, but it is expensive and the portion sizes leave something to be desired. After that, Bare Knuckle Pizza in Oakland, while not all vegan, has the best consistent vegan pies open a few days a week with freshly wood fired oven pies, cheese from The Butcher's Son and Follow Your Heart, a variety of vegan meats and sometimes fresh fruit (seasonally pear or peaches) and generous arugula as well. Gluten free vegan crusts are available too for a modest mark up. They do sometimes sell out, and their hours posted relative to what is online can be confusing so their Instagram is probably the most frequently up to date information.
    Last place I'd probably rank The Cheeseboard in Berkeley. While I am grateful they at least have vegan and gluten free options, the way they queue up and how vegans are treated as second class citizens needing to jump the line and make a request to an often busy staff who don't notice, to then get back to the end of the line and still end up waiting after paying often is just not a great experience. Also they only do one style a day, so if you don't like it, you're out of luck. Oh, it's also the most expensive. ;( If they weren't a coop, I probably wouldn't mention them at all.
    Baia in SF is all vegan, and while not a pizza place has some flat breads which are similar, but for the moment, LA despite the urban sprawl and high prices and smog and hotter weather and traffic is way better for having more vegan establishments.
