A Twin Cities institution with multiple locations, Pizza Lucé has been perfecting vegan pizza since before it was trendy. Their house-made vegan cheese actually melts and stretches, topping creative pies like the Veggie Lucé loaded with artichokes, tomatoes, and olives. The Baked Potato Pizza with vegan sour cream is a local legend. Beyond pizza, find vegan hoagies, pasta, and appetizers. Late-night delivery makes them a lifesaver after concerts or nights out. Every location has its own neighborhood character.

A healthier fast-casual option challenging the big chains, Crisp & Green offers build-your-own salads and grain bowls with an impressive selection of proteins, vegetables, and house-made dressings.

Multiple locations across the metro make healthy eating convenient. Perfect for a quick lunch that won't leave you feeling sluggish.
