Sunday I begged off with some excuse. Its okay to do that now and again. Monday by coincidence everyone was eating leftovers, or had a late snack or the like, and didnt want to go out. Today was the test. Its pasta night at Boston Pizza, so I knew wed be going there. But what could I eat? Their menu is online with nutritional information, but not ingredients. The FAQ mentioned vegetarian options, but not vegan. On Sunday night I used a web contact form to ask for an ingredients list for the vegetarian dishes, and the site said they would respond within 48 hours, but they havent yet. I studied the menu and then phoned and asked if they had an ingredients list for the pizza sauce and crust. They had an allergy list, which would do, because eggs and dairy were possible allergens. But the items I asked about contained no eggs or dairy. Score!
At the restaurant, when the ordering got to me I admitted I was going to be a little high maintenance and then requested, "A small vegetarian pizza on whole wheat crust plus pineapple, double sauce, and no cheese." She repeated "no cheese?" with just a touch of incredulity, but wrote it down without a struggle.
The pizza came, and I was going to risk weirdness by taking a picture of it for you, but there was no point. It looked totally normal. It honestly didnt look sufficiently different from a loaded pizza with cheese for it to be worth taking a picture of. And it was delicious. I liked it better than a pizza with cheese. Seriously, you should try it. I think Ill always order pizza this way now. The toppings fell off a little more easily than with cheese, but how cool is a grease-free pizza?
It came with a caesar salad, but they substituted a garden salad, no dressing, and that consisted of good lettuce, red onions and red peppers.
