PDX ART SHOW: BLOOM

We’re excited to host another art exhibition in Portland, this time by one of our very own staff: Madison Inama.

“This collection, BLOOM, is especially important to me because it allowed me to show the simplicity and beauty of our environment that we so often look beyond. We tend to look past the nature and don’t recognize it for all that it does for us, so this collection is here to show you the intricacy and importance of Mother Nature through a new perspective of clean lines displayed with appreciation,” says Madison.

We will be showing BLOOM until mid-January, with pieces available for purchase come the end of the show!

Island Bound!

That’s right Victoria, we heard you and now we are coming for you! We are beyond excited to open our fifth location in downtown Victoria at 530 Pandora Avenue in the spring of 2019. We can’t wait to be a part of this vibrant, close-knit community including university students, young professionals, growing families, and recent transplants from the mainland. Home to several plant-based eateries and businesses already, we’re excited to be in great company.

Designed by Vancouver’s Simcic Uhrich Architects, our new space will be the largest Virtuous Pie location to date. At over 2,300 square feet, it will have 61 seats, a 653 square foot outdoor patio, and a communal bar area featuring local craft beers and wines. Expect your favourite plant-based pizzas, ice cream, and small plates, plus unique menu items exclusive to Victoria!
