About

Purgatory Pizza serves New York-style thin-crust pies alongside Sicilian and vegan deep-dish pizzas, with vegan slices frequently available. Murals, beer, and weekend live music give the casual room an artsy feel, but recent reports of incorrect orders—including non-vegan food served as vegan—mean it’s important to verify your order before eating.
