Yo mama’s so vegan …

The Neighborhood Pizzeria, owned by the same folks as Federalist, opened in East Sac in April. Neighborhood does Sicilian-style (square) slices premade and fired as they’re ordered. Usually, restaurants with no room for customization are a no-go for vegans, but Neighborhood Pizzeria is an exception. Its lone vegan slice is called “Yo Mama’s So Vegan.” In its early weeks, Yo Mama seemed like a prank: A huge hunk of bread with a thin layer of marinara and chunks of potato. In its current incarnation, it’s loaded with veggies, then topped with arugula and cashew crème—a welcome change. Slices are large and priced right at $5 each. Even better: For $9, get a big-enough-for-two basket of vegan nacho tots. Tater tots with vegan nacho cheese and cashew crème, plus green onions, black olives and jalapeños. These are even better than Yo Mama and memorable enough to come back for more. 5401 H Street, theneighborhoodpizzeria.com.
