Vegetarian in Taipei -- So Free Pizza 柴燒窯烤比薩&起士


I got to know about this pizza place from a TV program interviewing the founder of the restaurant. I made it a point to look for this place because the pizzas look very special. I wasn't disappointed. I really love this place.

The pizzas are all thin crust pizzas of standard 8 inch size. They are all wood fire baked and the ingredients are all freshly made. The flavours are very unique, not your usual Italian or American tomato base pizzas.

I tried two of the pizzas. Green Lava Dragon (spicy) and Basil with mushrooms. Both are very good. I like the Green Lava Dragon very much. It taste a little like green curry with ginger and mushrooms. I am not sure what type of cheese they use. It is light and flavourful.

The crusts of the pizzas are thin and crispy. Each person can finish 1 pizza. And each pizza is only NT169 (about SGD7.40). By Taipei standards, this is a little on the pricey side, but we can't get such good pizzas in Singapore for this kind of price.

The decor of the place is quite nice too and there was a video on conservation of environment that was playing all the time.

There are two outlets in Taipei. One right in Ximending and the other near the university. The one in Ximending is not easy to fine as it's shop front is quite small and it is located in a small alley. Make sure you make a copy of the map from their web page.
