Welcome to the neighbourhood, at last! I noticed that Burratta Pizzeria had put up a shingle probably over a year ago, in the window of one of Aldergrove's downtown business spaces. But then for month after month...nothing! I know that it can take a while to get a business up and running but apparently, getting through the Langley red tape (Aldergrove is a part of Langley) can be a bear. Of course, that's just one side of the story.
Nevertheless, here they are finally, with vegan pizzas on the menu! And not just one vegan pizza but six! So we ordered a couple for takeout. As we waited for our pizzas, we chatted with the boss who told us that in addition to BP's Vancouver location, they are also a part of the group with Reggiano Pizza's two locations (and one more to come in White Rock).
The first was the Vegan House Special and I would say it was moderately special. Artichokes, roasted red pepper, Kalamata olives and even sundried tomatoes graced this pie. Reasonable leoparding on the crust (on both) and pretty decent melty vegan Mozzarella rounded it out. It is definitely Aldergroves best vegan pizza, so far.
The other was called Vegan Delight. Mharie preferred this one which came with roasted garlic, spinach and Beyond Meat. I expected the vegan meat to be ground meat but it was actually small pieces of vegan pepperoni or ham maybe? Is it possibly a substitution as they were out of Beyond Ground? I was a little less enthusiastic because of the meat on this one. I may enquire about it. I asked for the olives to be on the side as my wife is not a lover of olives. I am so didn't mind adding them at my leisure.
So, pretty good pizza and pretty friendly folks. There are a couple of tables inside but its more of a take out joint. Thanks for finally making it to Aldergrove!
