“It's delicious!” =)

We're planning on doing Waldo Pizza this month. We will be doing a vegan all you care to eat pizza and salad buffet.

They have a dedicated vegan menu you can request, which includes vegan cup cakes, house made ice cream, and cheesy bread sticks among other things.

They have in the past requested that we try to fill one table at a time, so as not to saturate their back room with a smaller number of people if we have multiple no shows. If you RSVP'd, but aren't doing the buffet for some reason (IE gluten free,) please let us know so that they can adjust the number of pizzas accordingly.

We've put in our reservation and will have an all you care to eat Vegan Pizza Buffet and salad bar. What they plan for us depends partially on the number of people who RSVP and show up... so please try to RSVP accurately. We expect the prices to be approximately as follows: (this is an estimate and not an exact amount.)

The tap room will handle 75, or informally up to 100 wandering around...

Located in Kansas City near 75th and Wornall (and also in Lees Summit in Rollins Meadow at Douglas Square,) Waldo Pizza is very popular due to their great pizza. They offer an interesting variety of veggies (maybe we can get them to add roasted asparagus at some point!)

Waldo pizza has always had soy cheese available on their menu--unfortunately, it has casein in it, isn't vegan, and it is still available (and listed on the menu), so to get the good stuff be sure to ask for the "vegan mozzarella" (which is made by Follow your Heart.) They also now serve Daiya cheese - which has a much stronger, sharper flavor which some people enjoy. We'll probably have a couple of pizza's with Daiya to try as well as the classic Follow Your Heart.

While fake meats may not be a great main stay for a healthy diet, they can bring back a favorite dish or add something a little different. Waldo has added veggie sausage, veggie pepperoni and two kinds of veggie "chickun" to their vegan options!

Traditional hand-tossed and thin crusts are vegan, the regular and spicy marinaras as well as the BBQ, Romesco, Buffalo Sauces, and apparently the Pesto are vegan. At the salad bar, the Italian dressing is vegan. They also have a vegan gluten-free crust (for a little extra - special order / not part of the buffet, and it is slightly smaller than their usual pizza size, but delicious.)

Here are a few of the possible pizzas we'll have depending on the number of people - more people = more variety...

Traditional, spicy marinara with artichoke and sun dried tomato.

Traditional, barbecue with pineapple, veggie sausage, and roasted garlic.

Thin, marinara, roasted garlic, tomato, and basil (of course).

Traditional, Romesco, Mushroom, Red Onion, Pine Nuts.

Traditional, marinara with sauerkraut, pineapple, and sun dried tomato.

Thin, spicy marinara, veggie pepperoni, basil, and tomatoes.

Thin, marinara with kalamata olives and mushrooms.

Traditional, Arugula with artichoke hearts and sun dried tomato.

...and more.
