Eating In: Pizza, Burgers, Kebabs

Welcome to another edition of Eating In! Food that I have had delivered to my house. This post is a nice carby post, full of things you eat with your hands. Unless you are a person who eats their pizza with a fork.

We have ordered dinner twice from Gustos Gourmet Pizza. They have vegan cheese and lots of vegetable options. The first time I got their Vegetarian Pizza (onion, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, pineapple, olives, herbs, and garlic), no capsicum and use vegan cheese. The second time I got the Margherita Pizza with BBQ base instead of pizza sauce, cherry tomatoes, vegan cheese, basil, and I added on pineapple, olives, mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms. Both were good and I would definitely order from there again!

Oporto is one of the many chain restaurants that have added a vegan option to their menu. Their vegan burger has a pea and herb patty, avocado, tomato, and lettuce. I got them to leave off the tomato and capsicum relish, and I added pineapple. I really liked this burger, it was a lovely veggie patty and the whole thing was quite fresh and not heavy. I also got some of their chips and a side of grilled corn, and their creamy lemon and herb dressing that is vegan.

I had heard about Taksim Kebab and Pizza from some vegan groups, a Lebanese place with vegan options including vegan meats! Although very close to me, I never had a chance to go there pre-pandemic, but thankfully they are now doing delivery. I got a kebab with vegan lamb in it, and it was very good. Also a huge serving of chips. I am very keen to also try some of their vegan pizzas, and their vegan snack pack (which frustratingly does not appear as a vegan option on UberEats).

Finally, another delivery from Grill'd. Although Grill'd is my favourite burger place, sadly they are not great to order from as everything arrives so cold. I perked the chips up in the microwave at least. This time I got a build-your-own burger with a field mushroom, pineapple, mayo, BBQ sauce, cheese, and pickles. It was nice, though the mushroom has not been cooked through and was raw around the stem. Thankfully I have no issues with raw mushrooms.

It has been a while since I have posted a photo of my sweet Gizmo. I still miss her every day.

  1. Vegan lamb! I hope someday to encounter that.

    A toaster oven can help with cold fries the microwave can't salvage, if it comes to that. Sorry you are getting cold fries.

    1. I remember you telling me about the toaster oven a while ago, but that was still after this delivery. Next time I will be toaster ovening things up!

  2. The pizzas look incredible! There is a place here that is very vegan friendly, and even has a vegan and gluten free crust, but I just can't get excited about a gluten free crust!
    Gizmo has a wisdom and calm I can feel through the photo!
