Cafe Viva Herbal Pizzeria

Whenever I want a fast dinner in one of my favorite neighborhoods, the East Village, I go to Cafe Viva. They have a ton of pizza slices, all vegetarian, and all pretty cheap. I hate cheese, and they have plenty of cheese-less pizzas. Their hours are good, I think they're open until at least midnight.

Last time I went to Cafe Viva, I ordered the Tutta Verde pizza:

Tutta Verde Pizza: all green pizza with pesto sauce, green peppers, broccoli, zucchini, and spinach

It cost about $3.75 and the slice was huge! The slice was very tasty and kept me full for several hours.

My friend ordered the Zen Pizza

Zen Pizza: green tea herbed miso tofu, green tea basil pesto, shiitake mushrooms, maitake mushrooms, carmelized onions, sundried tomato, roasted garlic, on a green tea herbed spelt crust

I tried a little and I thought it was okay. I preferred my slice and I didn't really care for the tofu on it.

Cafe Viva is definitely worth checking out. It's fast, tasty, and not pricey.
