3. Beeschurgers

Some people don’t like it when you call plant-based food the same you would if it wasn’t plant-based. “It’s not a burger without meat” and “It’s not milk if it doesn’t come from a cow”. Ok, so there you go—not cheeseburgers, but Beeschurgers! If you’re craving burgers and fries, this is absolutely your go-to option: delicious and completely vegan.

The good news is, there are multiple places in The Hague providing just that! Long story short, Vegan pizza lovers: The Hague won’t disappoint!

9. Mammamia

Let’s start with Mammamia, an Italian restaurant offering many typical Italian dishes, with a pizza menu that always includes at least 4 vegan options, all delicious. For example, depending on the season, among the toppings you might find, vegan mozzarella, champignon, pumpkin cream, truffle, vegan salami... for pizzas that can be both traditional or with an international flavor.

Now, if you know about Italian pizza, you also know that in Italy there are different styles of pizza, and if you ask us, each one of them is the best! There is the delicious Neapolitan with the soft and high crust, a remarkable culinary experience. But there is also the crunchy heaven that is the Roman style pizza. And let’s not forget that pizza can be round, sure, but also squared if it is “al taglio”.

10. Pazze e Pizze

If we tickled your curiosity (and tastebuds), you might want to stop by Pazze e Pizze. Their pizza al taglio is baked on large plates and then cut into pieces, a.k.a. “tranci”. Good food is always worth to be consumed while seating and relaxing, but the great thing about pizza al taglio is that it is also perfect to be savored on the go. Check the menu, among the many Italian specialties, you will also find a couple of vegan options, and even more of vegetarian ones.

11. The Vegan Pizza Bar

If you want to go 100% plant-based, the Vegan Pizza Bar is your go-to restaurant, and you’ll be spoilt for choice (and by the way, the menu also includes appetizers, sides, pasta dishes, and desserts, all creative and delicious).

12. Vincenzo’s

Finally, there are pizzerie where you can have very good Italian pizza and ask the staff for a vegan option. Vincenzo’s is a famous one, they have multiple locations in the city, and they always have one vegan pizza. Another great one is EVO, in the Scheveningen area. Their Neapolitan style pizza is very good, and even if they don’t really have a vegan option on their menu, they will try to accommodate plant-based customers. As long as the result is up to their quality standards, of course—you can’t go wild asking for ingredients to be added/removed, so you’ll have to trust their experience and hope the seasonal ingredients offer a good enough combo. You can check with them when you make your reservation.

14. A La Tarte

Desserts are easy for vegetarians, not as much for vegans. It is very common to find plant-based options for appetizers, sides, and main courses, but usually, dessert is a tricky area of the menu. This is why it is awesome to have a place like A La Tarte, a little shop in the very heart of the city, where you can find plenty of sweet treats. No sitting area (it is very little indeed), everything is to take away. So, if you are going for dinner to a restaurant that doesn’t provide a plant-based dessert, or you just had lunch somewhere, but the menu didn’t include anything sweet without animal products, you definitely might want to stop by A La Tarte.
