VegKC Restaurant Meetup - Waldo Pizza Vegan Buffet

If you RSVP yes, please commit to showing up.

Waldo Pizza!

*** Covid / Flu / Colds *** We have resumed hosting events! Our community and volunteer hosts include vulnerable members. We request that if you are sick, or have had close proximity exposure to someone who is sick before an event, please be considerate of others health and cancel your RSVP and wait for our next event. Masks are welcome and encouraged, unfortunately food events largely preclude masking as a mitigation.

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

“It's delicious!” =)

They have a dedicated vegan menu that you can request, which includes vegan desert, and cheesy bread sticks among other things.

They requested that we try to fill approximately one table at a time, so as not to saturate their back room with a smaller number of people. If you RSVP'd, but aren't doing the buffet for some reason (IE gluten free,) please let us know.

The tap room will handle a max of 75...

**** PRICING IS APPROXIMATE **** (Updated 2023, with or without soda.)
Buffet:*-----------------------------------------------------Price:----------w/Tax:
Pizza Buffet and Salad Buffet including soda--$15.00----------$16.20
*Other items, like beer or bread sticks and desserts, are extra of course. (View their online vegan menu for more details.)

Located in Kansas City near 75th and Wornall Waldo Pizza is a very popular local spot due to their excellent pizza. They offer an interesting variety of veggie toppings!

Waldo pizza has always had soy cheese available on their menu--unfortunately, it has casein and isn't vegan. To get the veg stuff be sure to ask for the "vegan mozzarella" (which is made by Violife.) They also now serve Daiya cheeze. (Follow Your Heart isn't currently available.)

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 an assortment of veggie "meats" available!

The 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 is a sampling of the pizzas that they will serve - more people = more pizzas = 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.
