FYI...there is a new location @ Preston & Beltline in North Dallas. This new location has larger indoor seating, plus pizza-by-the-slice lunch specials.

I heard from a friend that this place had vegan soy toppings (cheese, pepperoni, sausage) as options, so I was extremely interested in trying it (being vegan and all). Anyway, it's been about a year since I've had cheese on a pizza, and let me just say that this was the best pizza I've had in a long time, regardless of the cheese. I've yet to find any other pizza joint in the area that has this as an option.

The thin crust was extra crispy, just enough sauce so that it was not dry, but not too much to make it all soggy and floppy. The sauce had a great flavor (which I think is often overlooked, as it seems most places with crappy sauce just try to cover it up with more cheese).

For those of you that have had vegan cheese in the past, you may know how's often difficult to get that melty-gooey texture of cow-cheese, but whatever cheese they use is just about as good as it gets (I had to call back and confirm that I really did get the vegan cheese and pepperoni).

Anyway, to the previous comment about service - like Alan said, this is clearly a take-out joint, there are a few small tables available to sit down if you wanted just a quick eat-and-go, but it's not like you would actually ever plan on eating there.

I suspect their cow-cheese pizza is just as fantastic if you're not into the vegan soy thing, so don't get all bent-out-of-shape about the fact that they offer this.

I wish it was a little closer to home, but it says something given that I'll be frequenting this place, even if it's a 15 minute drive.
