Lunch at Lanesplitter Pub & Pizza, 2033 San Pablo Ave., Berkeley. The Boyfriend (TB) and I shared a “small” vegan pizza. 15” is small?
- Neapolitan crispy, thin crust pizza with a red sauce, thinly sliced onions,double portion of mushrooms, and Lanesplitter’s own Notta Ricotta vegan cheese (made from Tofutti products)
- TB indulged in a Brouwerij Lindemans Framboise Lambic (raspberry Belgian style beer), which we’ve seen (and purchased) at various grocery stores in the Seattle/Tacoma area
- I had an Iron Springs Coffee Porter
- Taste: Oh so good; tasty sauce, onions sliced to thin perfection, and the herbs in the Notta Ricotta complemented the red sauce. The lambic was delicious, the porter did taste like coffee and was thick but not heavy.
- Portion: A bit large, but we powered through it
- Price: Average $29 (sans tip; it may sound expensive, but the lambic alone was $7; also, Lanesplitter and many other restaurants charge extra for vegan cheese)
