Cruzer Pizza in Los Feliz started offering vegan pizza yesterday with a new cheese that vegans are calling "revolutionary." Yes, it's vegan cheese, from Daiya Foods, that apparently melts and stretches like real cheese, says vegan blogger Quarrygirl. "It beats all other vegan cheeses, by far," she wrote in an e-mail to LAist. She also noted that it isn't available anywhere else on the West Coast.
It's not just this special brand of vegan cheese, too, the restaurant has developed a menu that includes faux meats and the such.

{GASP!} I am so THERE!! Gaaaaah!
Yumm!!! I'll definitely have to check that place out.
thanks for the link, LAist!! woo!
y'all gotta eat this pizza asap. being a vegan never tasted so cheezy. :) :)
always had a dark desire to open a vegan restaurant with incredibly realistic cheese... that was actually real cheese. that would be fucked up though.
Lots of vegan places already do this. Or at least, they use soy cheese that contains casein, the protein found in milk, so it's not really vegan. Trust me, vegan will know when you're fooling them with non-vegan cheese. Supposedly this Daiya stuff is great. Though it wouldn't necessarily food someone into thinking it was real.
Looks awesome.
Do they make one with a thin crust?
purgatory pizza in boyle heights now offers daiya cheese as well! dude, the vegan pizza options in this city are officially awesome.
