Slice o’ Heaven

Considering I have travel 9,000+ miles for vegan food (see my blog reporting in Thailand) I suppose I can venture to 74th street and 2nd avenue for Slice. Slice, which has been on my radar since its opening years ago, is a special parlor of pizza- one that offers the elusive Daiya vegan cheese as an option on its pies as well as gluten-free crusts and lots of veggie toppings. My slice: the thin herb crust, marinara and Daiya: was indeed perfect, just as Slice’s menu and philosopy promises. It was warm and absolutely delicious, split into their characteristic 4 triangles for easy eating. The Daiya was melted thoroughly and retained its texture and temperature, no small feat for a vegan cheese. It stretched and chewed like dairy cheese but far lighter and cleaner. It is an amazing product indeed. And I will return to Slice soon for more.
