Boston Vegan Pizzeria Opens

Move over baked beans, because Boston is about to become the East Coast mecca for vegan pizza. Peace O’Pie, which opens today in Allston’s Union Square, is a vegan-owned and -operated gourmet pizza bistro. The impressive menu boasts a bevy of tasty eats, including cheesy Daiya breadsticks and on-the-go calzones. The menu’s main attraction is the mouthwatering selection of pizza options. Pies can be made with classic Vegan Gourmet cheese or stretchy, gooey, Daiya cheese on an organic, whole-wheat or gluten-free crust. Try the EP pizza, made with smoked tempeh, sun-dried tomatoes, sautéed spinach, and garlic. For more creative types, opt to build your own pizza with yummy toppings like apple-sage sausage. Be sure to grab a banana pumpkin cupcake on the way out—or on the way in next time.
