6 vegan-friendly restaurants in the Tri-Cities

Picture this: you’re going out to eat with a group of friends and realize, with despair, that there are no vegan options available at the cool new restaurant you’ll all be dining at together. Silently scanning the menu, determined to find at least one decent option for a meal, you ultimately give up, sigh, and begrudgingly order yourself fries and a green salad. Dressing on the side, thanks. 

This one’s dedicated to all the plant-based foodies who have found themselves in this exact predicament. Here’s a list of vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants in the Tri-Cities that have plenty of delicious options to choose from whether you’re vegan or simply want to enjoy a plant-based meal.

Here's where to find Neapolitan-style pizza in the Tri-Cities

While we’d gladly devour any slice of pizza that’s offered to us (as they’re all beautiful in their own way) there’s something extra special about the pizza Napoletana. For one: it’s served as a large round pie with a thin, flat bottom and airy, voluminous crust. Second: all of the ingredients must be Italian, all the way down to the flour. And third: well, it’s delicious. You can truly taste the quality in every bite, both in the method and ingredients themselves.

Here are some spots in the Tri-Cities where you can find this gem of a pie, arguably the best and most authentic pizza there is.
