Big Nonna’s, 12601 Tech Ridge Blvd. A-300, Austin, TX 78753

Big Nonna’s serves vegan pizza and ice cream. With a soft and chewy crust, house-aged vegan cheese made from pumpkin seeds, and a slightly tangy tomato sauce, it is hard to go wrong with Big Nonna’s pizza. You can select from a huge range of toppings, including the homemade “beetaroni”, which is beet-based pepperoni. The ice creams are made from different bases including coconut, soy, nut butters, and sunflower seeds. Death metal by chocolate is a must-try flavor for first-timers. Big Nonna’s also offers gluten-free and soy-free menu.

Señor Sisig Vegano, 701 Valencia St., San Francisco, CA 94110

Food trucks are a fun dining experience, and what makes Señor Sisig Vegano’s food truck even better, is that all menu items are completely vegan. Cooking up soy-based proteins, the owners are using traditional techniques, marinades, and spice mixtures so flavors and textures are not sacrificed. Incorporating Filipino ingredients into Mexican dishes, some must try menu items are the vegan “longanisa chorizo” burrito, “chicken” nachos, and “pork” fries topped with guacamole and pico de gallo.
