Cafe Viva Gourmet Pizza

We've been coming for years - nice people and great health bar-style pizza (crust). Good soups. I recommend (my favorites) Azteca and Mexicali slices. Also Grandma slice.

The service can be a little prickly, but in terms of vegan pizza, these folks really give Two Boots a run for their money. They say they can make anything on their (delicious) menu vegan. I recommend a vegan meatball and sausage pizza, especially. And the desserts are out of this world good-- some of the best vegan cheesecake and peanut butter pie in the city, for sure!

Pizza is good and I recommend it. The grandma slice is by far the best! The garlic is strong but lots of sauce (which I like) and good crust. "Regular" slice uses cornmeal on bottom which i still don't get and I wish it had a little more sauce. When regular slice is prepared well with enough sauce and not overcooked, its a good slice and worth getting a few! However, when these slices are just cheese and crust and I would not recommend; like most pizza, use your eye to judge). The worst part is the service (two guys who retrieve slices for you behind counter that is). However, the owner Tony is clearly "hands on" and cares not only about his business, but his customers! With his attention you can get the service (and slice) you deserve. If you are hungry and passing by, definitely get a few grandma slices! They rock. It's worth the trip and like most pizza, when they are on its great stuff! GT (West End Ave)

My favorite pizza ever! I love the Mother Earth pizza on spelt crust and cheese on top- mmmm! So good!

I love cafe viva. When you go you should get the penne alla vodka. Cafe Viva is my favorite restarant. :)
