Pizzicato Review: Vegan Provencial

I'm writing this from the Pizzicato at Portland State University. As I've mentioned before, it is hard to find a place to eat vegetarian, so when I find one that is good, I need to write about it.

Pizzicato is a gourmet pizza house based in Oregon. They have a few stores in Washington and Northern California as well. They serve pizza, salad and panini which include some very interesting flavors. Their seven salads include the standards: Verde, Caeser, Spicaci (Spinach) as well as some other good varieties: Arugula, Chinese Chop, Greek and Mista (baby lettuce with walnuts and tomato). You can add chicken or shrimp to them for an added charge. With three salad sizes, they are ready for any appetite.

The pizza flavors varie by the day, with cheese, pepperoni and puttenesca always on the list. They also have a meat, veggie and vegan choice. Today the vegan option was Provincial. It included red and yellow peppers, garlic, mushrooms and red onion with an olive oil base. The crust is soft, with just a little crisp. It is a plain crust, with little flavor, but just the right texture to leave a nice pallet for building the rest of the pizza. The veggies are all roasted, giving them a nice mild, but flavorful medley.

This store in on the PSU campus, so I can tap into that wireless network. They do not seem to have their own, so if you don't have a PSU account, you may not be able to use wireless. The neo modern design gives a pleasant place to sit, without the overwhelming music and decor of some of their competitors.

The staff is friendly and energetic. They and are not afraid to assist when they need to. The prices are reasonable. I paid $3.50 for my slice. Not the best prices, but reasonable. Rating:
