The Kitchen Factory

"The vegan mac n cheese was awesome. The person behind the counter was very nice. We would have eaten there but their dining room was getting remodeled."

"This used to be my only pizza spot, I'd swing by at least twice a month. Since the change in ownership, the menu items I ordered most have been removed and I see more emphasis on "fake meat" over the unique vegetarian pizzas previously on the menu year round (namely the Le Sigh and the Dig the Fig). The trinkets have been removed from the front window, and the dining area has been undergoing construction for a while now, but it definitely doesn't cultivate the same crunchy and unique environment that it once did. That all said, the most disappointing change is the interaction that I've had with the new ownership. I used to be able to swing by while on my way to run errands and put in a scheduled order for pickup an hour or so later, but that's not a thing they do anymore. The owner came out from the back to explain to me, more than once and fairly condescendingly, that I could place the order online or call in about 20 minutes before I would be able to swing by, "because it really messes up the kitchen to do scheduled orders" (like most everyone else can do and this exact establishment used to do). I was also told that "no one" ordered the menu items that were removed when I first expressed some disappointment on seeing the new menu. This is the main reason I don't want to come back and try anything new. The couple of times that I have swung by since the new owners took over the quality of the pizza has remained roughly the same and the general staff behind the counter have been lovely. I'm sad to say, this just isn't my pizza spot anymore."

"I used to come here all of the time when I was working in Northside in 2021 and loved getting the vegan meatball sub but something changed in their recipe somewhat recently (the last two times I went) and the meatballs are dry, over-seasoned (drowns out the bread and sauce), and they fall apart. The old recipe was more robust and complimented the rest of the sandwich so much better. Staff is lovely and kind but the food quality isn't the same, so I don't think I'll return until the recipe is improved or they return to the old one."

"Casual little spot in Northside with tons of vegan options. Vegan pizza is great, very thin and crispy. Baked vegan Mac n cheese is fantastic too!"

"Maybe it was our fault because we didn't order pizza, but I felt that our meal was slightly lacking. The server was very friendly, but the seating was a bit awkward. I got the BBQ tofu sandwich, the pasta salad side, and a side of Caesar salad. The pasta salad was very good. 5 stars. It had vegan feta too, which was delicious. The sandwich... it was lacking flavor. The BBQ tofu was just... there. I wish it was more meaty tasting. And the Caesar salad is the opposite- it was very potent, almost too strong. It's been many years since I've had a Caesar salad but I remember cheese crumbles and a lighter flavor. Overall, I would be willing to go back to try pizza and Mac and cheese, but I wouldn't get the sandwich or salad again."
