Chicago is famous for its Deep Dish Pizza. I never thought that Chicago would also be the home of many vegan pizza houses. I am not vegan, to claim, but sometimes my tongue wanted to satisfy its cravings with healthy food choices. Vegan Pizzas are part of my top-tiered vegan-healthy foods. This list of pizza houses that offer many vegan pizza items on their menu definitely helps me a lot. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this!
