Now, we could not talk about vegan cuisine without including a pizza spot. Most notably, Vegan Pizza on 12022 Chapman Ave. One of the coolest parts about their pizza is their shapes. For instance, you can get yourself a traditional-looking pie or their heart-shaped pizza. As far as what you should order, you cannot go wrong with their Hawaiin pizza.
