Excellent

Fun selection of food: delicious pizzas, comfy mac-n-cheese, warm white-bean/artichoke dip, interesting salads, great ice creams and sorbets, cocktails and house-made lemonades. The pizza crust is perfect. They sell ice cream by the pint to take away.
Nice patio out back, for good weather.
Happy Hour drinks and pizzas: Sunday-Thursday, 2-5 pm and 8-close.

A couple of years ago they offered a weekend brunch menu, but not anymore.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the variety — from the pizzas and mac-n-cheese to the ice creams and cocktails. It’s wonderful to hear you appreciated the patio and took note of our Happy Hour too! We really appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back soon. (And who knows — maybe one day we’ll bring brunch back!)

Excellent vegan pizza

I was very excited when a location opened in Victoria. The pizzas in my experience have been excellent, I do find they are best fresh at the restaurant. The kale caesar and mac and cheese were also longtime favourites. The last couple times I ordered the mac tasted like it had a different less flavorful sauce and the salad in restaurant was soggy. When I ordered the salad to go and dressed it myself I've had a better experience. The house made ice creams with seasonal flavours and canoli have never disappointed. I always eagerly await the berry cheesecake ice cream to come back into rotation. If the mac and salad had not gone down in quality over the past couple years I'd give 5 stars. The pizzas have stayed consistent however.

The location has a small patio in the back that is sheltered by surrounding buildings, so while you get no nice views you are sheltered from the wind off the ocean. The inside of the restaurant is reasonable sized and has a nice bar area. Do not like the location for parking reasons, it's right downtown so parking can be rough and expensive.

Pros: All vegan, Patio, Ice cream

Cons: Quality hit or miss, Downtown street parking

Outstanding Restaurant

Everything we tried was absolutely incredible! The garlic knots, pizza, and ice cream were all perfection. I’d recommend everything they have to offer!

Delicious crispy and imaginative pizzas

We tried the garlic knots to start and this set the standards high, as they were delicious! And we weren’t disappointed for the mains at all. The pizzas are imaginative and full of unique flavours far beyond your typical toppings. We had the ultraviolet (walnut pesto, cashew mozzarella, dried tomatoes, kale, caramelised onions and pine nuts), superfungi (herbed potato cream sauce, cashew mozzarella, truffle oil, almond ricotta, wild mushrooms and rocket), sweet Mary Jane (TVP bacon, caramelised onion jam, cashew mozzarella, hot honey, parmesan) and the August special Hawaiian Summer (cashew mozzarella, chicken shreds, caramelised pineapple, red onion and BBQ sauce). They all had a thin, crispy base and were a good size, so you were full without overeating. Their own nut cheeses were special and tasted delicious and the caramelised pineapple on the Hawaiian Summer was amazing! We sat outside on their patio space around the back, which was lovely, and the staff were friendly.

Highlight in Victoria

I'm always happy to find fully vegan restaurants and after trying Virtuous Pie in Vancouver, we also had to check out the one in Victoria. We came here twice during our stay in Victoria. Food was really good and the staff was just lovely - very friendly and helpful. I would recommend to try one of their pizzas!

Pros: Fully vegan, Very good pizza, Super friendly staff

What a delicious and exquisite experience. We went during our vacation to dine in after seeing the excellent reviews. Me, my brother and my father were honestly stunned. Not just by the options but also by the taste.
I can definitely recommend this place like all other people before.
In addition, the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Best vegan pizza & ice cream !

Vegan pizza can go either way sometimes, I really didn’t want anything greasy with lots of overpowering vegan cheese. This did not disappoint. The vegan cheese was so tasty, the pizza was incredible and I got the spicy sausage. Wow!

Cookie dough ice cream tub to finish the evening off. Loved it!

Pros: Good quality , Customisable toppings , Ice cream

Cons: Had no garlic bread or substitute , Service was very slow , Had to get it to go it was so slow

Mmm pizza….

Similar to the Portland, OR location with a few extras we hadn’t seen before. Kale Caesar salad was delicious and the Margherita pizza was as expected. The seasonal cannoli was a lemon flavor and quite tasty. This location has lots of seating inside and a nice patio out back.

Best. Pizza. Ever

Pizza was absolutely delicious from crust to toppings. Tried three different pizzas - Stranger Wings Don Riccotta, Ultraviolet - all so good.
Desserts- strawberry shortcake and chocolate caramel shortbread - again delicious.
Our servers Molly & Colin were funny and lovely.

Pros: So many different options , Service , Clean beautiful space

Virtu-delicious Pie

Ordered the Sweet Mary Jane and drumsticks. The pizza was great. The cheese was great, not the normal weird texture vegan mozzarella you normally would get. Drumsticks were nice, and even better dipped in the garlic ranch. Staff was helpful, place clean. Would highly recommend.

Pros: Sweet Mary Jane pizza, Garlic ranch, Staff

I’ve been missing this spot

I’ve been missing Virtuous Pie since they closed their doors in Toronto a few years ago. SO happy to be able to try their pizzas again! I grabbed the Ultraviolet pizza and a scoop of their buttered maple pecan ice cream. I’ll definitely be stopping by again before leaving Victoria.

Pros: Great service, Delicious menu options

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re truly touched that you’ve missed us since our Toronto days, and we’re so happy you had the chance to visit us again in Victoria. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the Ultraviolet pizza and the buttered maple pecan ice cream — two of our favorites too! We can’t wait to welcome you back before you head out. Safe travels and thanks again for the support!

Tastes better than it looks!

I’m ngl, when I first saw the pizza I was very underwhelmed but WOW this vegan pizza was amazing. The sauce was very light and delicious and there was no heavy oil/greasiness to it like a lot of pizzas have. The cheese was great and not at all overpowering or gummy which is a common issue with vegan pies.
The chicken Alfredo was also delicious. I had to add salt to it but other than that it was great! The garlic ranch sauce was also yummy! 5 stars!

Thank you so much for giving us a chance and for the detailed feedback! We’re really glad the pizza exceeded your expectations — especially with the light sauce and balanced cheese. We appreciate your notes on the chicken Alfredo and will keep them in mind as we keep improving. So happy to hear you enjoyed the garlic ranch too! We can’t wait to welcome you back for another 5-star meal soon!

Cauliflower on Pizza

We had the Gochujang Cauliflower Pizza which was super tart and flavorsome. The Garlic Knots were soft and superb as usual.

The NA Caesar drink was also superb, and the NA beer lotion was nice as well. Also the maple pecan ice cream is not to be missed

Didn’t live up to the hype

I couldn’t give it 5 stars because I’ve had better. I really wanted to give it 3 stars but perhaps I chose the wrong pizzas: Margherita and Superfunghi. I also think the garlic knots were just OK (a bit too chewy). The ice cream and cannolis (though not a traditional shell) were very good.

The crust was good and the service was great. Really great people.

Flavour Forward

Here for work and this is a treasure not to be missed, especially if you’re in the downtown area. The pizzas are creatively topped with mild to bold flavours.we were unanimous in thinking the pesto roasted tomato pizza was outstanding. The ice cream too has creative choices - visit the menu before you go.

Delicious Pizza

This pizza place is just amazing. Been to that one in Vancouver before and was really happy when I was there was also one in Victoria. The summer special pizza with the sweet corn was so delicious I am still dreaming of that one. They also have non alcoholic beer that tastes pretty good 👍

Highly recommend

Great vibe and friendly staff. Everything from the drinks to the pizza to pasta were expertly crafted. We enjoyed two pizzas (a pesto and a Margherita), very garlicky garlic knots, and a chicken Alfredo. Lots of ice cream options but we were too full to give them a go.

Loads to choose from but we had the pizza and it didn’t disappoint. The kale ceasar was also yummy!
