Ordering Vegan at Panago Pizza

All of the dairy-free menu items listed above are also vegan, except for the obvious meat items and any items noted as containing egg. All five of the crusts at Panago Pizza, including the gluten-free one, are dairy-free and egg-free. They call it a “gluten smart” crust rather than gluten-free, because gluten cross-contamination is a risk at Panago Pizza. But as “smart” Go Dairy Free readers know, allergen cross-contamination is always a possibility in restaurant kitchens.

For the most part, the Vegan-Friendly menu below holds true. It was released in 2016, so a couple of the sauces have changed, and they’ve actually added a couple more choices. So enjoy the one below for quick reference, but see our dairy-free guide above for the most current options.

Ordered off the plant-based menu

Rated 5 out of 5

March 18, 2021

I was excited to try their plant-based menu, so we ordered a few pizzas. And I couldn’t resist getting side salads with their dairy-free Italian dressing. My favorite pizza was probably the Pepperoni with pineapple and banana peppers. The flavor and texture reminded me so much of what I remember pepperoni pizza tasting like that it was impossible to resist. The other toppings contrasted for amazing sweet and spicy flavors and the crust was soft. One of the pizzas we ordered was on the gluten-free crust. It was good too, with a thin, crispy texture that held up well under a pile of veggie toppings. Our household included vegans and omnivores, and everyone liked the meat-free pepperoni. The Daiya cheese got mixed reviews. We all agreed it would be best with just a “light” amount of Daiya. And I have to mention the salads. They were bright green and topped with loads of delicious vegetables. Even the vinaigrette impressed.
