FINALLY good vegan pizza

I went vegan 2 years ago and cheese pizza is the thing I miss the most. I have since then tried vegan pizzas all over the world, but I've always been underwhelmed. Until I tried El Vato Loco. Their pizzas are just amazing, the menu is creative and the owner is friendly. The sides are also fantastic, almost as full independent dishes.

Pros: Creative menu, The sides (try mac&cheese), FINALLY GOOD VEGAN PIZZA

Cons: can eat there, but mostly for take-away

Everything in ours pizzas was great, but especially cheese and crust. We didn't know it can be soooo good.

Pros: Cheese, Crust, Owner

Sooo good.

Such a fluffy dough and nice texture. Amazingly good pizzas. And the best thing: you can choose the level of the chilli oil you can put on top: from picante 🌶️to hospital 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Pros: Tasty, Spicy , Fast

Delicious food and good vibe!

I have pretty high standards when it comes to pizza. I've had some really mediocre and downright bad ones, but I'm delighted to say the one I had at El Vato Loco was banging. The Neapolitan style thin base was perfect, I went for the tapas one (with fried potatoes, Heüra chorizo, padron peppers and so on) and was blown away. The menu isn't long, which is always a good sign. The place is tiny, with just one row of bar style seats, but it's well worth a visit. Bonus points for 90s/early 00s hip hop playlist.

Pros: Delicious food, Great vibe

Tasty Pizzas

It's nice that vegan pizzas are not highlighted as something special at this place! Rustical interior with some seats, but you get the pizza in a box anyway. We enjoyed the supreme and calzone but we were also somewhat disappointed as we had different expectations. We would've been happier with "simpler" pizzas, instead of a variety of ingredients that were a bit too much. Some parts of the dough were burnt. Still, well-prepared and we'd try the classic pizza next time.

This place has amazing pizza. They have seating inside, but you can tell that the restaurant is intended for food delivery.

Best vegan pizza ever

I can really just agree with everything the other’s said!
Even the location is great! It‘s just a short walk to either the park or the Arc de Triumph so you can enjoy your pizza there😄

Genial

Pedimos una pizza carbonara y unas patatas. Una de las mejores carbonaras que he comido. La masa es casera, puedes ver cómo la hacen en cocina porque la tienen a la vista. La única pega es que es un poco pequeño y en fin de semana es difícil que haya sitio.

Pros: Buena masa de pizza, Comida rica, Buena relación calidad-precio

Cons: Algo pequeño

Very good pizza

In general, very decent pizza, in addition, fully vegan which is a huge bonus obviously. Nice flavours Big Lebanowski was awesome. I'll eat anything with aubergine but this was top.

Tasty & Creative Pizzas for takeaway

Cheeseburger pizza? Carbonara pizza? Yes, you'll find those on the menu. And they are super tasty! Staff is super friendly and seems to be in a good mood.

The place is pretty small, you'll find a wooden plank attached to the wall and 8 barstools. So, if you're trying to get pizza during a busy time, have it for takeaway and eat it in the park - only thing you miss out on are the hot, spicy, infernal, or hospitalising sauces.

Pros: Creative toppings , Pizza base, Hot sauces, sorted by pepperiness

Cons: Ambience

Good vegan pizza

We had the Green one and the Carbonara, which we shared with 3 people and it was still a bit too much, as the Carbonara is quite heavy. Both pizzas were quite good. The place itself is small and not that comfortable to eat there. All in all 3,5 stars.

Pros: Friendly service, centrally located, open late

Cons: Eating inside is not that comfortable
