Description: <\/strong>Pizza is my favorite food group. Pi Pizzeria is just a block away from the venue and can accommodate large groups with varying preferences! Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free – there are options for the crust, cheese, and toppings to cover all of your bases. But it doesn\u2019t stop with pizza, there are also vegan and gluten-free salads, desserts, and drink options!

Location:<\/strong>
1104 Locust St, Saint Louis, MO 63101<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hours:<\/strong>
8 AM – 3 PM (every day)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Website<\/strong><\/a> \/ <\/strong>Yelp<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description:<\/strong> Saint Louis is known for some of the best comfort food, but it can be really tough to find it vegan or vegetarian-friendly. While their menu is relatively limited, Rooster has customizable vegan-friendly crepes or you can go all-in with their \u201cVegan Rooster Slinger,\u201d which includes delicious vegan sausage gravy over crispy potatoes and thick-cut toast. Rooster closes at 3 PM every day, so definitely consider checking them out for breakfast or lunch.

Worth the Drive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lulu\u2019s Local Eatery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Photo by Kel L., Dec. 13th, 2018<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Location: <\/strong>
3201 S Grand, Saint Louis, MO 63118<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hours:<\/strong>

10 AM – 2 PM (Su)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Website<\/strong><\/a> \/ <\/strong>Yelp<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description:<\/strong> Lulu\u2019s is 100% plant-based and probably has more varied vegan options than anywhere else in Saint Louis. This is the place to go if you want a solid vegan burrito. Or buffalo cauliflower. Or sweet potato black bean burger. Or Latke Benedict! You really can\u2019t go wrong with anything on the menu. Come for the vegan food, stick around for their upstairs Ping Pong Bar!

Hours:<\/strong>
5 PM – 11 PM (M-Th)

10 AM – 11 PM (Su)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Website<\/strong><\/a> \/ <\/strong>Yelp<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description:<\/strong> Small Batch is the sort of place you could bring your meat-eating friends to let them sample some creative vegan dishes and prove that you really don\u2019t have it all that bad. Start with an appetizer of brussel sprouts, fermented potstickers, or cauliflower wings with buffalo or sweet and sour sauce. And jump into your entree with the spicy and smoky rigatoni, pad thai, squash lasagna with asparagus (pictured), or one of the other delectable options. Plus, as their name implies, they have an enormous whiskey collection, including flights so you can sample a little bit of everything.
