JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out

Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

Vegan Pizza in Our Town

Brixx has come to Winston-Salem. I haven’t had a chance to eat at the one here yet, but have greatly enjoyed meals at the restaurants in Greensboro and Charlotte. Brixx offers salads, sandwiches and pastas—but the crispy, wood-fired pizzas are my favorite foods on the menu. (I almost wrote that the pizzas are my favorite part of the menu, but Brixx also has a great selection of beers on tap ... so that may be my favorite part of the menu. It’s definitely the part I linger longest over!) But without a doubt, the very best line of the menu is the one that says “Vegan cheese is available” on the pizzas. It’s a nice melty and tasty vegan cheese, too.

The new restaurant is at the Shoppes on Little Creek off Hanes Mall Boulevard. For more information, call 837-0664.

Double check to make sure their vegan cheese is really vegan. I read something recently that the cheese they use still contains casein. However, cheese-less pizza is mighty tasty in its own right!
