Gung Ho! Pizza - Beijing

No pizza for four months since I was in China, I went through exits until I found Gung Ho Pizza! The “Veganized” BBQ Chicken Pizza was great! I was here on a Sunday, but the advertisement “Vegan Winsday”. 20% of vegan options every Wednesday! Look at it!

A restaurant that is clearly leaning towards becoming more compassionate as it has an optional vegan menu, alongside the omnivore menu. The offer vegan cheese as an extra. The pizza dough is top quality.

This place has a pretty good selection of vegan options for their pizza, all of which are pretty good. Pizzas are large enough that I could probably split one on a date and be satisfied, although the two times I went I was flying solo and had a whole pizza to myself (still worth it). They also allow you to do a half and half in case you want to try more of the menu but don't feel like eating two whole pizzas.

Note: They have happy hour! Buy one get one draft craft beers Monday-Friday from 5-7. The atmosphere is hip and warm. They have wifi and accept credit cards. No bathroom in house, so need to use one outside the restaurant. Not fun in the winter. I got the tofu pizza and loved it. The cheese was okay, not like the stuff you can get in the US, but it was super good. The beer runs about 55rmb, but isn’t so bad if you consider happy hour and get one free. Dessert was a little lackluster. Taste was great but it was small. Overall, great place if you’re looking for something other than Chinese food!

Happy Cow only allows a max 4 star for non vegetarian only restaurants. This place deserves a 5. It does serves some meat. But it also has a good selection of totally vegan pizzas (and sides). Vegan cheese and really interesting ingredients (the smoked tofu was excellent). Delicious! It’s got a really fun vibe good music, fun staff, interesting posters on the wall, small and intimate. Good selection of beer from a craft brewery.
