Bar Solea: Brendan McGill knows how to cook plants. He brings as much TLC to his vegan options as he does anything else on his menu. The Vegano uses confit tomato, garlic, basil, oregano and arugula to produce a pizza that won’t last five minutes on your table. 822 1st Ave; (206) 682-7460.
Cornelly: One of Seattle’s hottest pizza and pasta spots makes a damn good vegan pie. The Red Fungi is made with maitake mushrooms, shallot, garlic confit, and fresh herbs. Get a side of their homemade focaccia for some of the best carbs on Capitol Hill. (And don’t sleep on their homemade pickles, either.) 601 Summit Ave E #103.
World Pizza: Squirreled away in an unassuming storefront in the ID, World Pizza does a brisk business, especially during lunch, offering whole pies and pizzas by the slice that are super affordable with one rotating vegan option daily.

Lupo: Considered some of the best pies in the city, Lupo doesn’t rest on its laurels for its vegan pie. The Tomayto Tomahto is a tomato-based pizza with sun dried tomatoes, garlic, basil and capers. More capers on pizza, please! 4303 Fremont Ave N; (206) 547-2144.
Ian’s: A favorite among vegans, Ian’s has some of the best plant-based pies in the city.

Shown: Root — shiitake and portobello mushrooms, MOTO cheese blend, parmesan, black olives, onion, and tomato sauce, all topped with a balsamic glaze and Plant — seasonal greens, pickled cabbage, MOTO cheese blend, parmesan, garlic and tomato sauces, sea salt, and black sesame seeds. Side note: Lee’s wife is vegan, so he has some pressure on him to make solid plant-based pies! Multiple locations (shown: West Seattle); 4526 42nd Ave SW; (206) 420-8880.
Big Mario’s: This New York-style pizzeria has a vegan slice on their menu that features vegan cheese, tomato, black olives, and mushroom atop a very thin crust.
