Il Vicino Wood Oven Pizza - Albuquerque

This restaurant is great for groups. The staff was very accommodating and seated us on the enclosed terrace, which was beautifully illuminated with plenty of warm lights. (A few thoughts...)

At first, I assumed this restaurant didn't have any vegan options since their regular menu doesn't include them. However, after reaching out to the restaurant, I was delighted to discover they offer vegan pizza crust, vegan cheese, and vegan sausage. Their online ordering system for pickups and deliveries is quite flexible, allowing you to select a non-vegan pizza and request vegan modifications. Although the menu could be more inclusive for those with dietary restrictions, I'm thrilled to have found another spot in the city that provides vegan options without having inconvenient hours.

"The service and food were outstanding! This place never lets me down. I ordered the Il. Icing Salad, which was very delicious, and my companion had a pizza (I can't recall the name), but it was excellent as well."

I've been visiting this restaurant for over twenty years, and I can confidently say that the pizza is amazing, the salads are excellent, and the Olio Picante is something you absolutely have to try. While I may not be a food expert, I...

I’m unsure whether honey is still used in all their crusts. My boss visited this location to get a pizza for a meeting and was told that the gluten-free crust was vegan. I had my doubts, so I called to verify, and the person on the phone informed me that nothing is vegan and they don’t even offer vegan cheese. I then emailed the location and received a different response: they do have vegan cheese, but the gluten-free crust is not vegan, although other crust options are. That’s three conflicting answers with no apologies for the confusion (I could have had a serious reaction if I had eaten that crust) and no assurance that the staff would be updated on the correct information. I just can’t trust it.
