Vegan Pizza Long Beach, 2771 E. Broadway, Long Beach, CA 90803

Big ideas? Design your Own 14-inch Pizza. Start with your choice of pizza sauce. Possibilities are Red, Herbed Garlic, or Sweet Fig. Or, opt out if you like your crust un-sauced. Say cheese with either plain or Seasoned Mozzarella. If it’s no cheese please, meaty choices are Beyond Meat Pizzas like Chicken, Meatball, or Italian Sausage, which celebrates fresh basil along with Mozzarella. But wait, there’s more! Extra meaty options include Beyond the Meat Lovers’ Pizza which combines Red Sauce, vegan Mozzarella, Beyond Meat Italian Sausage, Vegan Pepperoni, Beyond Meatball, Onions and Balsamic Spiral all on one pizza! There’s no FOMO here when it comes to toppings either which include olives, artichoke, capers, herbs, various tomatoes, onions, even pear, and so much more. Next, choose a Spiral Sauce in Twisted Truffle, Rich Balsamic or a whole host of others. If that’s just too many goodies to choose from, one of their many Specialty Pizzas might be in order. Their award winning Matador has Red Sauce, vegan Mozzarella, Soyrizo, Jalapeño Peppers, Onions, Black Olives, Cilantro, and Smokey Chipotle Spiral. Or let Spellbound enchant you with roasted garlic sauce, mozzarella, red onion, artichokes, fire roasted corn, sun dried tomato and twisted truffle spiral. Plenty of Dipping Sauce possibilities include Sun Dried Tomato, house-made Vegan Ranch, Zingy Buffalo Hot Sauce, BBQ, Smokey Chipotle and more.
