Vegan Anywhere- 3 Brothers Pizza, Long Island New York

I LOVE 3 BROTHERS PIZZA. There, I said it. If you don't wanna see me go on and on about how awesome this place is, I'm sorry, come back soon for a new topic. But really, everyone needs to know about this place. Vegetarians, vegans, omnivores, gluten free eaters, just go whoever you are!
The best part of this place is the fact they have two menus. one for omnivores and one for vegans/vegetarians. That means everyone can find something that suits them (so long as they like pizza/pasta/burgers/wings/mozzarella sticks/carrot cake/so so so much more). As a vegan, this is a huge deal. It means that vegans can have a place where there are many options for them as for their non vegans friends and family.

Vegan pizza that's good is not easy to come by in most places. For many vegans all that is available is frozen stuff or home made, and while both are good, there's nothing like real pizza or calzones.
Using this review as an excuse to over indulge, Bear and I got a full spread and spent a nice time in the restaurant desperately trying to eat it all.
For a starter we got the mozzarella sticks, which were great. They were warm and the cheese inside was nice and gooey and the sauce it came with had a nice taste.
the seasoning on these was perfect

For our entrees we decided to get a tempeh bacon and seitan cheese burger to share, and a small (12in) pizza with "the works", onions, mushrooms, peppers, faux pepperoni, and faux sausage and a ton of ooey gooey daiya cheese. We only made it through half of the pizza, but it made a great dinner later on at home, it reheated nicely in the toaster oven. Both items were great. The cheeseburger could have used a bit more bacon, but other than that no complaints.
OMG PIZZA

even vegans like bacon cheese burgers now and then

The pizza was great as well. In fact, 3 Brothers has won several awards for it's vegan pizza, and it's easy to see why. There are a ton of pizza options form vegetables to fake meats and they come in different combos or even a build your own option where you can pick everything from the crust to the sauce to what goes on top. I don't eat a lot of faux meat products, but they work well on top of the pizza, and I would even say the vegan pepperoni is better than the real stuff because it's much less greasy.

Bear is an awe of this burger

The desserts at 3 Brothers are also great, and the options change all the time. Last time we visited we had an amazing piece of carrot cake, this time we got something called the Raspberry Bomb, a chocolate cake with raspberry mousse and a chocolate shell. It was sweet, but not overly saccharine, and decadent and not as heavy as it seems. However, sharing is a good idea since the entree sizes are pretty generous.

this piece of cake was huuuuge

  1. We love the eggplant parm pizza and the penne ala vodka. I ordered a peanut butter bomb cake for a birthday and everyone loved it. Great place.
