Best Vegetarian Dish In A Non-Vegetarian Restaurant

Although many cuisine types are easily adaptable to a vegan lifestyle, the cheeses and meats so prevalent in Italian cooking make it a little more difficult to find vegan versions of certain staples -- pizza especially. Denver has more vegan pizza options than most cities, but Virgilio's is the real jewel. The large dining room can accommodate parties of any size, but be prepared to wait for a table, because the wine program and garlic knots are just two of the draws that bring crowds through the doors. Many of Virgilio's specialty pies lend themselves to vegan interpretations, or you can build your own pizza with tomato- or olive oil- based sauces, all the regular pizza veggies plus a few specialties like green olives or fresh spinach, and dairy-free cheese. Do yourself a favor and order an extra pie, because when you can find vegan pizza this delicious, you'll definitely want leftovers.
