As a young adult vegan, in university, I found the joy of ordering pizza for delivery! Growing up in my rural childhood 'farm' there was no pizza delivery. So when I moved to U of T, I took advantage of this modern and convenient luxury! At the time, vegan pizzas were unheard of. I would always have to explain myself several times to the person taking my order over the phone. "What? No cheese? Are you sure?" My order seemed to confuse them. I can't count the number of free pizzas I received over the years because they always arrived with cheese! So I would send them back, and since I didn't receive my pizza in the allocated time, it would be free! (I had to argue this, but I won as I was right. I didn't get the pizza I ordered within the time frame they promised). While it certainly was a bonus to get free pizza, it was also annoying because I was absolutely starving by the time my correct pizza arrived, and all my friends would be eating their fresh delicious smelling pizza while I was waiting and were long finished by the time my vegan pizza arrived.
My how times have changed!! Now many popular pizza joints, not only will readily make a veggie pizza without cheese, but they also have vegan cheese and vegan pepperoni! The options are endless and really delicious. We've come a long way pizza-baby!!
