Since figuring out that pizza could be vegan I’ve been on a bit of a tear recently. I’ve toned it down a bit since I care for my health and my pocketbook, but gosh darn it, pizza is just tasty and so easy to order sometimes. In Hanover, there are three pizza places: EBA’s (known for its lack of quality), Ramuntos (kind of pricey), and C&A’s (not really known).
In calling around, Ramunto’s was the only place that really knew what was in their crust (weird, huh), and much to my joy I learned that there wasn’t anything taboo for me in there (milk, whey, etc). So I gave it a shot: one large, no cheese, with broccoli, black olives, and mushrooms.
Verdict: Delicious!
With delivery a pizza like this runs just about $20 + tip, so it’s not exactly cheap, and I don’t know that Ramunto’s has much else that is vegan, so for every once and a while, I definitely recommend this place (and pizza).

This blog is fascinating. The level of detail with which potato balls and pizza are scrutinized leaves very little to the imagination, save the author’s nutritional voids. I WANT TO HEAR MORE. Could the next post please be on potato balls? There is so much about their formation (evolution of, mechanical vs traditional thumb-squish), preservation, packaging, decorative coloring (fun for birthdays, christmas, etc), and alcohol content.
How many vegans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
I don’t know, as I’ve never seen it done. Probably just one, sine they’ve made a very conscious choice about their diet that requires they be at least not mentally handicapped; and screwing in a light bulb is pretty easy, as long as you can reach it.
Dearest Patrick, you are truly insane.
I work at a pizza place that sounds a lot like Ramunto’s…and “cross-contamination” happens all the time. Your hand goes straight from the ham to the pineapple or sausage to the black olives. Or cheese accidentally get dropped in the sauce…actually, the cheese gets everywhere.
Just out of curiosity…is this a concern for you, that animal products are likely mixed in to your vegan pizza even if only in minimal amounts?
Thanks for the comment.
I actually have an odd set of qualifications for eating out, and it generally means ignoring some of the issues like sugar and cross-contamination. Because of the fact that I am required to have a meal plan, I can’t get away from eating food prepared in a joint environment with other things, or exactly how I’d like. I’m definitely stricter when cooking for myself, but here’s how I see it, in short:
– ethics: I’m not violating ethics in this, and I don’t think the chefs are doing anything ethically wrong by using the same kitchen. It’s not kosher
– health: Incidental cross-contamination isn’t going to impact my health in any noticeable way unless it’s poison, :p
– environment: Again, not enough to make any difference
Perhaps this warrants it’s own post, as it’s something I’ve thought quite a lot about. Thanks for the comment.
