Last night Brio Pizzeria located in Lewiston, NY hosted a 'Vegan Pizza Night". An evening that would allow customers to sample vegan items that would eventually be on their menu permanently. The event started at 6pm and when my mom, my kids and I arrived, the place was already packed.
The staff was very friendly when we walked in and it was a pleasure to talk with them about the future of their vegan menu options, as well as the perspective of fundraising events with ASHA sanctuary further down the road.
The samples started with chips alongside an array of dips including hummus, guacamole, and salsa con "queso"
Then they brought out gazpacho, chili and jalapeno poppers, all of which were delicious.
Next they served portobello mushroom sandwiches and presented the main event... the pizza!!!
It was very yummy! The crust and the sauce were both fantastic! In my opinion it was the best vegan pizza that I have ever had. Each one that came from the kitchen was as tasty as the one before. I even ordered a pie to bring home for my husband so he could give it a try, and he LOVED it!
They brought out pasta with alfredo sauce that was also enjoyable, my only complaint was that the sauce could have been a little thicker. I did notice that they brought out quesadillas but I was so full from all the food earlier in the evening that I could not bring myself to eat anymore.
Desserts were generously donated by kimcakes and Orange Cat Coffee Co. Which of course were delish as usual.
I want to thank Danielle, Jen, Jessica and the rest of the staff at Brio for a fantastic evening. I for one am so pleased that another restaurant has recognized the wish for vegan menu options. Plus you can't beat it when there's a place around the corner that delivers vegan pizza! ;)
