Fresh Brothers is serving it up sausage style on their Impossible pizza which you can order on their gluten-free crust in medium or personal size.

The rice flour-based crust is cooked to sublime crisp status on its own pizza pan separate from other crusts in Cecconi’s wood fire oven. They top it off with Beyond Sausage crumbles, mushrooms, tomato, vegan ricotta, and basil.

Order one of their delightful organic wines to go with your pie while you scan the room for celebrities (we’ve heard Ellen Degeneres and Gwen Stefani are frequent guests).

Califlower Pizza

For when you wanna Netflix and chill: Shroom With A View on Sweet Potato

Because some days you get up at 7am, meditate, go for a hike, and write a thirty-two page multi-cam pilot presentation. And other days, you stay in bed in emoji sweatpants and consecutively binge-watch all eight Harry Potter films. It’s called BALANCE. And for the latter, Califlower Pizza has your back. This delivery-only entirely gluten-free restaurant has three beautiful veggie-based crust flavors—cauliflower, sweet potato, and beet. Request The Schroom With A View vegan style on the sweet potato crust and be transformed to mushroom heaven. A symphony of crimini, portobello, and white mushrooms top their house-made sauce and vegan mozzarella cheese.

Pizzanista!

For the one who loves brunch: Vegan Breakfast Scramble on GF Crust (Sans Vegan Sausage)

Because everyone and their mom loves weekend brunch. And Pizzanista’s Vegan Breakfast Scramble on their GF Crust is worth showing up in last night’s LBD for. Available on weekend’s between 11am and 3pm, this pizza, requested on Pizzanista’s infamous gluten-free crust, includes an entire pie complete with tomato sauce, Daiya vegan cheese, tofu scramble, caramelized onions, mushrooms & basil. Just make sure to ask for no vegan sausage, which is NOT GF.

The Pizza Plant

For the stoner: The Half Baked on GF Crust (Sub House Sausage for GF Italian Sausage)

Looking to chill out? The Pizza Plant’s got you covered. This one of a kind, nacho fusion pie gets its name from the Alpen Organics CBD-infused olive oil used to brush the crust. Ask for their quinoa whole grain GF crust and it’ll come out CBD-infused and massively topped with Plant Craft nacho cheese, black beans, chipotle salsa, Plant Craft cashew sour cream, shredded cabbage, avocado, cilantro, cherry tomato, hemp seeds, jalapeño, and sausage (make sure to sub the House Sausage for their GF Italian Sausage). This stoner’s paradise wouldn’t be complete without the half-ounce carafe of extra CBD infused olive oil they give you to drizzle over your pie. You’ll feel chill and cure the munchies all in one go.

You can also feel great about your pizza purchase, because for every pie sold, Pizza Plant donates a custom-sized individual pizza to Union Station Homeless Services.

Julie Goes Green

For the spice seeker: Tony Spicy Pizza on GF crust

There are two types of people in this world—the kind who get a whiff of sriracha and begin to instantly sweat and the type who carry their own bottle in their bag around like Beyonce. If you are the latter, this heat-inducing pizza is the one for you. Ask for the Tony Spicy on their gluten-free crust at this all-vegan joint and be met with a personal-sized symphony of spicy tomato sauce, red onion, green bell pepper, tomato, jalapeno, vegan mozzarella, and the juiciest most convincing vegan shrimp you’ve ever seen.
