Is &pizza Vegan? Vegan Options at &pizza

&pizza is one of the easier fast-casual pizza chains for vegans: Thee Sheriff, Hot in Here and the Vegan Knots are tagged Vegan on its own online ordering menu, and its allergen guide has an Animal Product column for most ingredients. The vegan core is Traditional or Gluten-Free dough, Classic or Spicy Tomato sauce, Vegan Mozzarella, Roasted Tofu, Abbot's Vegan Sausage or Zesty Chickpea, any vegetable, and a BBQ, Buffalo or Truffle Oil drizzle.

Vegan as served, per &pizza's own sources: Traditional dough, Gluten Free dough, Vegan Mozzarella, Classic Tomato sauce, Spicy Tomato sauce, Barbecue (BBQ) drizzle, Buffalo drizzle, White Truffle Oil, and 12 more in the table above. 3 more items are vegan with a change.

Order Thee Sheriff or Hot in Here as listed, or Craft Your Own on Traditional or Gluten-Free dough with Classic or Spicy Tomato sauce, Vegan Mozzarella, Roasted Tofu, Abbot's Vegan Sausage or chickpeas, any vegetables, and a BBQ, Buffalo or Truffle Oil drizzle (no Stuffed Crust, pesto, Parm Romano, ranch, hot honey, fig balsamic or garlic butter). Add Vegan Knots on the side and Oreo Dippers or Cinna Little Dippers for dessert. If you want to limit cross-contact, tell the staff when you order: &pizza says that for allergies or sensitivities one team member will make your pie start to finish after cleaning the line and changing gloves.

Thee Sheriff (classic tomato, vegan mozzarella, grilled onions, roasted tofu, banana peppers, BBQ sauce) and Hot in Here (spicy tomato, vegan mozzarella, jalapeños, roasted tofu, The Blend, arugula) are both tagged Vegan on &pizza's online ordering menu. You can also build your own pie from the animal-free ingredients in the allergen guide.

Yes, both standard doughs are. &pizza says its dough is made with six ingredients (flour, water, sugar, fresh yeast, olive oil and salt), and the allergen guide shows no animal product in the Traditional or Gluten Free dough. Skip the Stuffed Crust add-on, which has a mozzarella core and is flagged for milk.

Classic Tomato and Spicy Tomato are the vegan pie sauces; Parm-Romano sauce has milk and egg, and Basil Pesto has milk. For finishes, Barbecue, Buffalo, White Truffle Oil and The Blend show no animal product, while Ranch (milk, egg), Hot Honey and Balsamic Fig are flagged as animal products.

&pizza's menu names NUMU vegan mozzarella on the Hot in Here pie and the Vegan Knots. The allergen guide lists Vegan Mozzarella with no animal product or milk; it is flagged for soy.

The regular Gnarlic Knots are not: they start with a creamy Parm-Romano sauce and are topped with Parm-Romano. The Vegan Knots are the animal-free version, made with garlic puree, NUMU vegan mozzarella, ABBOT'S Plant-Based Italian "Sausage", grilled onions and The Blend, with classic tomato sauce for dipping.

No. &pizza's menu calls it plant-based and it uses tofu instead of chicken, but it still has Parm-Romano sauce, shredded mozzarella, blue cheese and ranch, and the ordering menu tags it Vegetarian rather than Vegan. Order Thee Sheriff or Hot in Here instead.

We could not confirm it. The allergen guide lists Garlic Butter with no animal product and no milk, but &pizza still calls it butter and does not say whether it is dairy-free. Until the chain confirms, use a BBQ, Buffalo or truffle oil drizzle instead.

Three: Roasted Tofu, Vegan Sausage (ABBOT'S Plant-Based Italian "Sausage", also offered as a Craft Your Own topping) and Zesty Chickpea, all shown with no animal product in the allergen guide. Tofu and the vegan sausage are flagged for soy.

Yes. On the ordering menu you can pick Traditional or Gluten-Free dough, Classic or Spicy Tomato sauce, Vegan Mozzarella, one topping such as Roasted Tofu, Vegan Sausage, Zesty Chickpea or a vegetable, and BBQ Sauce, Buffalo Sauce or No Drizzle. Avoid the Stuffed Crust, Basil Pesto and Parm Romano sauces and the dairy cheeses.

No. It is romaine, black olives, green peppers, grape tomato, banana peppers, pickled red onion and Italian dressing, but &pizza's allergen guide flags it for milk and an animal product without naming the ingredient. The Caesar Side Salad is not vegan either.

The allergen guide shows no animal product in the Oreo Dippers or the Cinna Little Dippers, though &pizza does not label them vegan. The Chocolate Chunk Cookie (milk, egg), Nutella Little Dippers (milk) and Fruity Crispy Bar (milk, animal product) are not vegan. Cinna-Knots and Fruity Crispy Little Dippers show no animal product in the guide, but the ordering menu lists butter on them, so we left them out.
