Virtuous Pie

Checked this place out today to see if it lived up to all of the hype it created in the Toronto vegan community aaand.... it definitely did!! Loved the ricotta + gem tomatoes every bite was pure bliss as well as the calabrese pizza. The staff was SUUUPER friendly. Place was beautiful and welcoming. Washrooms were cute and clean. They have complimentary sparkling water on tap! Loved how clean, beautiful and elegant this place was.

So excited for this pizza to be in Toronto! We had Grandma’s Pie and Stranger Wings. And maybe some Mac & Cheese on the side. Okay fine, a flight of ice cream too. All delicious. Would love to see some more protein-packed toppings. The staff is really awesome. I just hope they deliver so I can indulge more often.

We loved our meal here!! Delicious pizzas, the garlic knots are great, and the ice cream was awesome!! Service was super friendly, and amazing. Also, they offer sparkling water for free which is a winning move in my book! ; Would definitely come back to try more of the menu!

Cozy little restaurant just south of College. The pizzas are slightly bigger than personal size, and usually have a daily feature pizza. The ice cream is good too. Everything here is vegan of course, and super delicious! I tried the special buffalo wings pizza with Thai tea ice cream, and finished all of it!

As a big meat eater, I must say "WOW!". Virtuous pie really got me thinking twice about needing meat with my meals. The food here is healthy, delicious and meat-guilt free. The vegan cheese that I have tasted here are virtually indistinguishable from dairy based versions. Though some items do have a different texture eg: Italian meatballs, which have a bouncy chew to it, the taste is basically the same and it's just delicious! The real wow here are their pizzas - they really nailed the crust thin, crispy and nice chew, and the "Stranger wings" one with spicy buffalo cauliflower is definitely a winner for me. Definitely give this place a try! Do check out and follow me @instantonium on Instagram for more great eats!

First time at this location I tried their sweet pepper sausage pizza and pesto CBR pizza - both were fantastic. Ended up craving their in-house cheese so much I went back the next week and introduced two non-vegans to it - they loved it. Good price for tasty and unique food, really nice staff too.

Extremely delicious food! The Calabrese pizza was my absolute favorite. The entire place is self serve, except that they get your food to the table. In addition, the atmosphere in there is super modern and cozy. Loved my overall experience here.

Unlike some other establishments, Virtuous Pie isn’t trying to remake a traditional pepperoni pie in a cheese-free and meatless form. Instead, they reinvent pizzas with flavourful vegetarian ingredients and get rid of the vegan cheese all together using a creamy cashew “mozzarella” that’s drizzled on like sauce. Take the Stranger Wings $15, where the chicken is not the mock version but rather deep fried cauliflower nuggets tossed in a slightly sweet and fairly spicy Buffalo sauce. Scallions and a “blue cheese” dressing , which tastes uncannily like ranch, is sprinkled on top so that you get a hit of spice and creaminess. Fried shallots and scallions sprinkled over everything for a fresh oniony finish. Of all the pizzas, it was the most flavourful. Their Superfunghi $14 uses a base of wild mushrooms that when toasted creates a meaty quality. There’s a light drizzle of cashew mozzarella, herbed potato cream, and a truffle ricotta, leaving the peppery arugula to become another prominent flavour. This pizza was a favourite of the table and adding a few drops of their chili oil warning, use sparingly elevates the pie to a whole new level. Sadly, the Street Corn $14, a version that seems tasty on paper, was the most disappointing of the bunch. The menu simply makes it sound so tempting: garlic paprika butter, feta, cashew mozzarella, and charred corn? Sign me up! But, the corn is so chewy and gummy that they actually sticks to your teeth, not unlike those dreaded caramel squares from Halloween. While I don’t know why the corn’s texture is so sticky, my hypothesis is that Virtuous Pie uses frozen corn and the garlic butter, when baking, starts to semi fry and dry the kernels. I’d suggest switching to a canned variety and sprinkling the corn onto the pizza after it’s cooked, like arugula. The pizza is also nothing like the punchy Mexican street corn, it’s in desperate need of seasoning – even if it’s just more salt, or better yet, a smoky Cajun dressing. In the end, their pizzas may be better described as flatbread topped with flavourful toppings. Crusts come in regular or gluten free form and surprisingly the later form is what impressed the table. While the gluten free version does look like a crispy cracker, behind the crunch there’s also a bit of chewiness. Meanwhile, the regular crust’s air pockets makes it look fluffy, but bite through the dough and you’re met with a dense hard crust that’s oddly similar to the gluten-free varieties of delivery pizza. Virtuous Pie offers a seasonally changing variety of vegan ice cream, so a flight of three scoops $8 finished the meal. Although the saffron rose water sounded exotic, the saffron was so overpowering that there’s no rosewater essence and it’s like eating a savoury ice cream with whole pistachios thrown in. It’s definitely an acquired taste, one that no one in our table of five enjoyed… my friend described it best when

Virtuous Pie is modern and chic and boy do they know how to make a great pizza! I loved the minimal decor, the super friendly wait staff, and most of all the pizza was very tasty. The crust was close to neopolitan style, not fluffy or deep dish like, but the toppings were super rich and flavorful. I went with three friends and we each got something different, got to taste all and they were fabulous! My husband got a gluten free crust and it was very thin but the taste was on point. Their ice cream is also very good, great texture and rich flavor. Definitely recommend!

Gluten-free and Dairy free pizza and ice cream. Sooooo good! Great for a "healthy"ish night/lunch out! I fully recommend this place
