920 B Loveland Maderia Rd. 697-7090
Pizza, no other single culinary creation has been so popular and so debated. Who has the best, who has the original, who is the king?
All these are common questions in every town and every city. It’s still a matter of taste.
Veggie folks probably look at pizza as a fast food savior. Not many food joints really have any truly good choices for the anti-meat eater.
Pizza can be ordered in any combination of veggie toppings so it’s palate pleaser for carnivore and vegheads alike.
Speaking of vegheads... Our own little Loveland eatery “The Veg Head” turns out some pizza that would make the hardest core vegetarian proud. The Veg Head has graced our pages before and by now you should already know they are so green even Woody Harrelson would give his approval. I mean think about it, they don’t have a grease container or even trash! In fact they have no grease at all. So how are you going to make a great pizza without oil?
Everybody knows some local favorites are famous for that precious shirt staining grease that runs down your fingers with every bite. What would a great pizza be without the grease?
Well, it would be a Veg Head pizza. The Veg Head pizzas are absolutely greaseless and definitely great. In fact, they offer toppings I doubt any of those other local favorite joints will ever have like curry, hummus and grilled tempeh. Now, curry I know, hummus I know, grilled tempeh on the other hand was a bit of a mystery. I tried it and delightfully found out it’s veggie sausage... so to speak. Actually, it’s soy bean loaf crumbled and sauteed with garlic & secret seasonings until it’s magically transformed into a sausage-like creation. It’s good I’ll tell you that.
Check out the bottom right picture, that’s a tempeh, black olive, onion, mushroom and marinara pizza. Crispy thin crust and toasted cheese and toppings... it turned out perfect. If your looking for a traditional tasting pizza that’s all veggie, completely greaseless yet still delicious and served in a bio-pack container, here you go.
Maybe traditional isn’t on your mind, well the menu also offers a “Curry Hummus Za pizza”.
This pizza is as delicious as it is unusual. The same crispy crust is layered with diced tomato, onion, green pepper, mushrooms, olive & garlic relish covered in mozzarella and spread with ranch dressing in place of the marinara.
It’s tough to decide between the two pizzas we sampled but I think while the traditional pizza (with the tasty tempeh sausage) would be a no brainer crowd pleasing pizza for anyone (veggie or not), the unique flavors of the silky curry hummus za pizza was our personal fave. The hummus and curry flavors dominate the palate, the other toppings sit nicely in the background and round out the flavors in harmony.
You can create your own pizza or just let the Veg Head do their thing but either way you go your going to be very surprised at what a fantastic piece of pie you can get at the Veg Head.
The fact is... it’s all green and it’s all good.
