Restaurant & Product Reviews

After an exciting family meal last night, I have to give Amici’s a big blog hug. Amici’s is a chain pizzeria/Italian restaurant here in the Bay Area and we happen to have on right down the street from us. They’ve always offered a soy cheese, which melted so well and tasted so normal that I just guessed it to be non-vegan. I have ordered it on occasion, even though I had my doubts about it being vegan. I was so surprised and elated last night when I opened my menu and saw a little sticker in there proclaiming proudly that “our soy cheese is now vegan” that I nearly peed my pants. What??? Seriously???!
So I ordered it. And it was FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! Like way better than any vegan cheese’d pizza I’ve ever had. I asked our server what brand they use and it turns out that they use Cheezly brand vegan mozzarella. I’ve never seen Cheezly in any store near me, but I have seen it online at Vegan Essentials. You can bet money that I will be ordering some the next time I order my vitamins. I made a point to tell our server how good it was and how much I liked that they had a vegan cheese. Hopefully the positive feedback will make Cheezly a permanent addition.
Sorry for the lack of photos, but I didn’t have my camera and this was too exciting to not blog about. I mean, how many pizza places can you think of that actually care enough to offer a vegan cheese? This is huge!
Earth Day is almost here, which means you only have a few days left to enter this months’ giveaway.
