Best Vegan Restaurants in Maggie Valley

"The common belief is that Italians invented pizza, but its origin goes back to ancient times in the Middle East. Babylonians, Israelites, Egyptians, Armenians, Greeks and Romans, and other ancient cultures ate flat, unleavened bread cooked in mud ovens. The word "pizza" was first documented in 997 AD in Gaeta, Italy, and successively in different parts of Central and South Italy."

"The Mellow Mushroom offers all its most popular menu items, presented in an order-at-the-counter atmosphere. Their hand-tossed pizzas are always baked-on-the-stone, making for a flavor-packed meal. Their vegetarian and gluten-free options like the Veg Out and Kosmic Karma Specialty Pies are real crowd pleasers!"

"It may be a national chain, but Mellow Mushroom is arguably the best Pigeon Forge option for vegetarians and gluten-free visitors. Its diverse menu includes meat-free soups and salads, but the pizza is clearly the main attraction. Any Mellow Mushroom specialty pie can be made with a gluten-free crust."
