Best Bites: City O' City's La Chagall Pizza
The funky-cool City O' City on Capitol Hill has a loyal following of fans drawn to the restaurant's extensive vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free menu. On my last visit, however, an evening on which I donned my long wool coat for the first time this fall, I deviated from these selections and went straight for a warm and filling pizza. My choice? The 12-inch, six-slice La Chagall, a sweet and savory pie layered with thick and gooey Brie, sweet apricot preserves, briny green olives, and roasted garlic.
The dense, cheesy sweetness of the pizza was nicely balanced by the light, chewy crust and salty olives. When it arrived, I swore I'd take half home. By the end of dinner, there was nothing left—but I was warm and ready to step outside again.
Bonus: Save room for a chocolate cupcake—all of City O' City's desserts are made by WaterCourse vegan bakery.

Apricot preserves and green olives? Yikes. Brie and garlic? Sounds like an interesting combination. Pizza in general? Yes!!
Hooray for fall!

I think I'm just as excited about donning the fall/winter clothing as I am the food. Brie and fruit on a pizza sound like a really incredible combo...

If you haven't been to City O' City since the expansion, you owe yourself another visit. The extra space really cuts down your wait and the food is still outstanding :)
Brie & Garlic FTW

I love City-o-City. The vege biscuits and gravy are delicious. I gotta try one of those vegan chocolate cupcakes.
Maybe with a bottle of wine from Club W, perhaps?

Let's pretend the Brie was aged in southern France, so this doesn't blow our diets.
