I ordered the Mini Meal for $25, which I did not find was that mini! First out were 2 garlic knots which were heavenly goodness of fresh, fluffy, garlicky dough that I dipped in nicely contrasting ranch dip. The main dish was "thick crust" single pizza of Superfunghi. The "thick crust" was not what I was expecting. It tasted more like toppings on focaccia bread. The herbed potato cream on the pizza didn't really work for me as it made the rest of the pizza, especially the arugula, soggy. I ended up asking for some olive oil to dip the pizza in (which I was not informed in advance would be $0.50 extra until it showed up on the bill at the end). For dessert, there were 4 flavours of ice cream to chose from. Overall, I really enjoyed the raspberry cheesecake that I picked. It was a little sweeter and the raspberry flavour was not as natural as I would like, but the shortbread in the ice cream was a nice twist. The cookie that came with the ice cream was a bit frozen, but I did not mind it as I was so full from the rest of the meal and had to take the cookie to go.

I went here with a vegan friend for lunch. I am not a vegetarian and really wasn't expecting much. I was so happy I went here! I tried a vegan pizza and I was blown away by how delicious it was. I don't know how they got vegan cheese, but man, it was amazing.We had an ice cream sandwich for dessert and that was also worth itThe server was prompt and courteous. He also patiently asked for something.This place surprised me in the best possible way!

Best vegan ice-cream I've ever had. Atmosphere is best of all the vegan restaurants in Victoria. Their ch'kn penne alfredo is my favourite dish so far :-)

Disappointed in Pasta with cashew Alfredo sauce & butter chicken confit was sadly lacking in any chicken - a few flecks of thigh meat - strong pepper flavour & dry - no creaminess & was looking forward to chunks of chicken! Server was excellent & said she would tell manager!

One of my absolute favorite places to eat in Victoria! It never fails to deliver! The ice cream flight or the custom ice cream sandwich is a must!
The food is delicious, and everything is vegan! We had a cheese pizza, some olives, and a caesar salad. Somehow, we ended up with an extra appetizer of focaccia bread we didn't order and it was a delicious mistake! The restaurant comped the focaccia bread, which was super nice of them. I'm not usually a fan of foccacia bread but the one here is chewy and delicious, not dry and gross - it had just the right amount of salt and the dipping sauce was oil, balsamic oil, and I think some kind of dollop of garlic sauce. I took off a star because we sat with no cutlery for a while, and had to flag down someone so we could start eating our salads. Otherwise, we'll be back again!

I've loved everything from Virtuous Pie! Greece Lightning is fantastic and I loved the Caesar Salad too

Was looking forward to dinning here after having enjoyed the food at their Portland, OR location.
This restaurant is much bigger and offer table service, which makes for a nice and relaxing dinning.
On the night we were there there seemed to be some major operational hiccups. Our server went above, way above, and beyond to make things right. Staring with an apology and explanation. This went a long way in making up for the situation. They later comped us some food and drink, so very nice of them.
The food was as good as ever. Pizza was well cooked with the perfect amount of vegan cheese and toppings. The caesar salad is a must and we shared one, it's really outstanding.
We love their ice cream. The seasonal birthday flavor was great (It's the Victoria locations 4th b-day) and the cheese cake flavor impressed as well.

Love this place and the patio in the summer months is a lovely spot. I have had the street corn pizza, ultra violet and the funghi pizza. The latter two being my favourites.

The food here is delicious! I have 6 allergies & the hosts took the time to look at the ingredients and confirm i'd be okay. Such sweet people! Couldn't have asked for better service. The ambiance and atmosphere is wonderful too.
