Caffe Galeria Piran

The place advertises their “vegan pizza” with a big sign in front, but the pizza has no vegan cheese and the toppings are very limited. There is no menu so you can’t really pick the toppings you want unless you go the counter to see what they have available. The pizza is square shaped and made in “Neapolitan style” and that is also supposedly the reason why there is no vegan cheese available, because of the licencing the owner is not allowed to switch dairy cheese with vegan cheese because it melts differently. The pizza (the simplest one) cost 10€. The crust was above average but the toppings were bland, I think it was red pepper, olives and something else. And it cost the same as I usually pay for a pizza that has vegan cheese and plenty of veggies.

We tried the vegan pizza, a Galeria cocktail, and a mojito, and they were all fantastic! They even make their own oil for the dough, but we didn't need it because it was so good on its own. Definitely give the Galeria cocktail a try as well - it was amazing!

The restaurant prominently advertises its "vegan pizza" with a large sign, but disappointingly, the pizza does not come with vegan cheese and offers very limited toppings. There is no menu available for customers to select their desired toppings, requiring them to go to the counter to see what options are available. The pizza is square-shaped and made in a "Neapolitan style," which explains the absence of vegan cheese due to licensing restrictions preventing the owner from substituting milk cheese for vegan cheese. The simplest pizza on the menu costs 10€, with above-average crust but bland toppings such as red pepper, olives, and others. Despite the lack of vegan cheese and variety in toppings, the prices are still the same as those of traditional pizzas.

We came because of their sign that vegan said we have no menu, just one for drinks, and when we asked about eating, our waitress was confused (she was friendly but.) then she offered pizza, I asked about the vegan sweet pizza without mushrooms and got a pizza with mushrooms and paprika as the only sweet. no cheese change or something else the mushrooms and paprika. I personally do not consider these vegan-friendly, as any place can offer them a dish where they leave the half of the ingredients. yes, it is vegan, but vegan-friendly for me means either replacement for the non-vegan ingredients or offers a plate specially designed for people on a herbal diet. Moreover, the pizza, which was rather small, was expensive (10,50 so this place only gets 1 of me, sad.

Delicious neapolitan pizza with fresh vegetables (no cheese) and very friendly staff. Although we were missing some seasoning and there were very little options it was a nice experience.
