A Vegan Delight in NE Portland: Boxcar Pizza

If we hadn’t read the menu before ordering, we would never have guessed that Boxcar Pizza’s Detroit-style pizza is 100% vegan. The thick, pillowy sourdough crust is crispy on the outside yet soft inside, creating a delightful texture with every bite.

We always get the Bianca, a square pizza topped with mozzarella, ricotta, sausage, sliced garlic, fresh basil, and grated parmesan—yes, all vegan. The flavors blend perfectly, and the vegan cheese and sausage are wonderful. While we haven’t tried it gluten-free, it’s great to know that option is available.

Located at the Zipper Food Hall in Northeast Portland, the Zipper offers a spacious indoor and patio seating area, which is fantastic during summer. However, be prepared for a parking challenge. Despite this, the experience is worth it.

For a delicious and satisfying vegan pizza experience, Boxcar Pizza is a must-visit.
