Zazzy’s Pizza

At Zazzy’s three locations in the Lower East Side, Greenwich Village and Upper East Side, the plant-forward menu of this red sauce Italian eatery can be ordered by the slice or in a whole pie. Classic New York-style pies are topped with your choice of dairy or vegan cheese, both wonderfully melty and topped to order. Then choose from specialty toppings like kalamata olives, sun dried tomatoes, and more, or go traditional with locally made sausage and creamy fior di latte.

With locations in the West Village and on the Lower East Side, this slice shop is making plant-based pizza the new norm. Sure, Zazzy’s has regular pies with all the melty high-quality cheeses you’d expect, but New Yorkers will be converted by top-notch vegan pie options and an entire appetizer menu made up of plant-based dishes. It may seem impossible, but the shop successfully executes mozzarella sticks with homemade marinara sauce and a “secret blend of plant-based ingredients” that your non-vegan friends won’t even know are cheeseless.
