Real people, real food, tastes good and good for you! Not commercial and processed!
I discovered Veggie Planet after searching for a restaurant that would accommodate my daughter who has food allergies to dairy, eggs, etc. We were so happy we could order safe food for her and we could also enjoy such delicious vegetarian dishes. It's one of our favorite restaurants. We have recommended them to all our friends!!
For Boston being such a "smart" city, you'd think there would be more places like Veggie Planet.
Veggie Planet has had a new chef for several months now and she is awesome. The food options are eclectic and delicious. Plus, Club Passim which is also at this location is a great place to see some great talent.
While what is considered healthy is debated (Atkins?), nothing beats fresh vegetables and thats what Veggie Planet offers, numerous and diverse vegetables prepared by a wonderful staff.
Friendly people, and an unrushed atmosphere off the beaten path in Harvard Square. Veggie Planet's pizzas are tasty, unique, and even healthy!
I love the great veggie meals with the entire "earth and health first" experience - from the signs that ask politely ask you to consider if you actually need those disposable bags/ extra napkins/ meat products in your life, to the thoughtful and tasty combinations of spices, veggies, curries, chutneys, etc that they create each day - all for reasonable prices!
Veggie Planet has a real unique flavor that I haven't found anywhere else yet. The food is great and I know I'm eating a nutritious lunch at the same time! :)
Veggie Planet has a consistently fantastic range of menu items: pizzas, soups and salads (with or without cheese or dairy)... and creative specials that push the envelope on what a pizza can be! All for very little, and all very healthy. (Of course, if you want one of their delicious vegan brownies... you can do that too! ;-) If "brunch" can count as healthy lunch too, their Sunday brunch is superb: the spiced waffles are to-die-for, and the live music is a pleasant bonus. Yum!
Tasty pizza dough made by a non-profit, not to mention the scrumptious and unique pizza toppings make Veggie Planet's pizzas stand out.
Where else does the staff ask, "would you like to add spinach to that--for free?" Veggie Planet is a socially responsible gem.
The best pizza and salad of the day, bar none, in the entire greater Boston area. I love people-watching out the window of the below ground dining room. Good music, fast and super healthy.
My favorite pizza is Dinner for Harry!! The music and atmosphere is great. I don't even mind that there is no alcohol...usually a must.
A creative and delicious weekly menu based on the freshest available local produce keeps regulars coming back. Veggie Planet is the most consistent "best value" lunch in Harvard Square!
Veggie Planet has the tastiest, most interesting salads anywhere. And, their oven-baked bread/pizza is to die for. I go for lunch 2 or 3 times per week!
Excellent flavors, unusual combination of ingredients, and attention paid to health aspects
Amazing service with staff who know your name. Amazing food with great vegan options. Amazing atmosphere with an emphasis on cross-cultural experiences
The food is just so tasty that you use any excuse to get into Harvard Square and have some. The desserts are also great -- and that means a lot, coming from this vicious sweet tooth in Brighton! Come to Veggie Planet and enjoy!
Veggie Planet is one of my favorite restaurants in Cambridge. It's not only tasty but the ingredients are of a great quality and the recipes are dynamic.
Love this place. Pizza and parties to soup and salad, raucous bands to soul-reassuring folk music, and in the heart of Harvard Square next to the Harvard Coop!!
Veggie Planet offers incredibly tasty vegetarian pizzas at reasonable prices right in Harvard Square. I've eaten there many times and will be back for more.
Veggie Planet has the freshest and tastiest vegetarian food at a good price. I love the food there!
Fresh organic ingredients matched with perfect cooking techniques makes for a winning combination!
I am a vegetarian and it's so nice to be able to order anything on the menu (usually I have to scroll down and find the one or two veggie options). And it's good for you too!
A great variety of toppings... and the best crust around. One order is easily two lunches!
Very tasty, healthy choices! Vegan-friendly! Huge portions! Great prices! Friendly waitstaff!
Organic produce and vegan options galore make Veggie Planet a must go to restaurant.
Yum! For those of us who don't eat cheese, Veggie Planet is a place we can find great pizza anyway
