Vegan pizza joint Virtuous Pie adding second Vancouver location

Jul 19 2017, 12:08 am

Virtuous Pie is expanding their plant-based pizza empire! The expanding all-vegan operation has announced they’re opening at UBC in Wesbrook Village in the fall of 2017.
Known for their pizza good enough to not make most people miss dairy and meat, this fast-casual spot quickly rose to prominence in Chinatown, where they whip out 10″ pies on hand-stretched three-day dough.
Using Virtuous Pie’s housemade nut cheeses, the joint fires up crowd pleasing pizzas like the popular “Stranger Wings” (Bianca, Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower, Crisp Fried Shallots, Blue Cheese Drizzle, Scallion) and the “Kim-Jack” (Hoisin Crema, Cashew Mozzarella, Kimchi, Gochujang Braised Jackfruit, Roast Broccolini, Scallion).

In addition to pizzas, Virtuous Pie makes a slender rotating selection of salads that can work as sides or mains, and they scoop their own completely plant-based ice creams. They also offer a brunch menu on weekends, which is a fully vegan array of breakfast pizzas, bowls, tacos, and more. You’ll find kombucha on tap, natural sodas, and cold-pressed juice, too.
Toronto-based design company Mason Studio is working on this new Vancouver space, as well as a Toronto space in the works for a January 2018 debut.
The new Vancouver location, as well as the Toronto location, are numbers three and four for Virtuous Pie; the mini chain expanded in 2017 to Portland, Oregon, too.

“It has always been our goal to expand Virtuous Pie. The fact that we’ve been able to do so relatively quickly is a testament to the delicious food we serve and the great response we’ve had from the public since we first launched,” says Director of Marketing and Business Development, Lia Loukas.
