An Honest Review: Sizzle Pie was the first truly "real" vegan pizza I have ever had. "Real", meaning, that it hit like an authentic Chicago pizza. I am, indeed, a Chicago-Suburbs native. When I first moved to Portland, Oregon, in 2017, I found out about Sizzle Pie and could not have been happier. I drove to downtown Portland at around 9 PM one night, and decided to order every single vegan pizza on their menu, which turned out to be 11 different styles/flavors of pizza. Triumphantly, I drove home with my pizzas, and shared my good pizza news with my vegan roommates, whom I was living with at the time. Many of them protested the addition of mass carbs to the household, but soon enough, they were eating the pizza out of the freezer and the fridge, and they wouldn't admit it- that is how good Sizzle Pie is! After leaving Portland, Oregon, and moving home to Illinois, I still dream about this pizza and all of the other foods that Sizzle Pie had to offer. After 4 years away, when I visited Portland with my partner, I had to take him here.
We weren't playing around on our trip; we wanted pizza for days. So, we bought the Spiral Tap pizza, Buffalo 666 pizza, Void pizza, and a specialty pizza which included juicy, locally-made vegan bacon, fresh tomatoes, and a white sauce. In addition to our pizzas, we got Garlic Knots and a Caligula salad, which is my favorite Caesar vegan salad on the planet (so far). What can I say, everything was fantastic! The salad blew my veggie-phobe boyfriend away, and all the pizza was amazing. The Garlic Knots were obviously fabulous and delicious (just take a look at them in the gallery). We were able to our leftover pizza with us on the road and re-heat it in our rental on the Oregon Coast.
Ultimately, with our visit to Sizzle Pie, I was reminded of why I would drive to downtown Portland in the middle of the night for vegan pizza and snacks, because it is just that good. Sizzle Pie satisfies an inner pizza desire and urge that all vegans who love pizza have. Sizzle Pie gives vegans and all pizza-lovers alike a place to enjoy amazing pizzeria food, along with a wonderful environment. I can't wait to go back in July 2024.
