Get To Know Us

We are on a mission to start a movement that changes the way people eat by bringing sustainable addicting food to the masses, that is fast, healthy, affordable, and always delicious.

To do this, we conceive, create, and serve a chef-driven plant based menu, focused on pizza and ice cream, with innovative addicting flavors, in a design led and locally inspired fast-casual restaurant.

Our food is:

• Plant-based
• Handcrafted
• Locally sourced
• Uniquely different

We handcraft our house made pizzas, nut-based cheeses, and ice creams, with each flavor being deeply considered so it stands confidently on our menus – without the need for substitutions – with its own vision to achieve great taste while using sustainable and locally sourced ingredients. And –  we have partnered with some like-minded third party partners, seen throughout our curated beverage program including our personal favorite kombucha, cold pressed juice, wines and beers.

Something New, Something For You

At Virtuous Pie we offer something unique. Something that’s created for foodies of all types demanding great taste and value, at speed that fits your life and most importantly, food that serves a greater purpose.
