  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Double Zero is here to remind vegan New Yorkers that their food requirements should not only be met, but mastered. Founded by celebrity plant-forward chef Matthew Keeney, Double Zero is a pioneer in vegan NYC pizza. The pies are impressively 100% plant-based and made in a wood-burning oven.

They’re both healthy and tasty! Even better, every pie can be made with gluten, soy, and nut-free so food intolerances are a non-factor. Double Zero also makes non-pizza plates, including pasta dishes that could’ve fooled me into thinking they were made. With real cheese. It’s no wonder the Michelin Guide donned Double Zero a Bib-Gourmand rating, given to restaurants that offer good value.

My only complaint with Double Zero is that their seating is mostly stools. Sitting on them for a while can be uncomfortable, but not to the extent of knocking them off the list of the best vegan pizza shops in NYC.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
Worth it

Is there a more quintessential New York meal than pizza? But when half the ingredients that make a killer pie don’t fit into the vegan lifestyle, what does one do? Double Zero is here to put any worries away. The pies are impressively 100% plant-based and made in a wood-burning oven.

Worth it

Matthew Kenney, a plant-based food pioneer, owns several restaurants nationwide, including Double Zero, which makes some of NYC’s best gluten-free pizza. Located in the East Village, the restaurant proves that a healthy diet and delicious food can coexist, with incredible pies available in gluten-free and vegan options. However, the seating is a drawback because the uncomfortable stools make it hard to linger long.
