Today on What’s Cooking?: Atlanta, CLEO TV and our girl Pretty Vee are going green as we visit the city’s Plant Based Pizzeria!
Located in Midtown ATL, Plant Based Pizzeria’s owner, Paul Jordan gives us the details on why he wanted to bring vegan-based pizza to the busy area.
“Midtown, Atlanta is the hot spot. Everyone is up and down the street, we’re open seven days a week, late hours. A lot of the vegan places closes at 8,” Jordan said.

Jordan also let us know that everything at Plant Based Pizzeria is completely vegan, separating them from competitors.
And all of the dishes look so fresh and delicious!
For meat lovers, don’t worry Plant Based Pizzeria has all of the meat substitutes for all of your cravings.
The restaurant’s number one seller is their Georgia Peach pizza, an ode to the state. The number one seller consists of beyond meat products, jalapenos, onions, and of course peaches!

Paying homage to his mother, Paul created a vegan ranch dressing named after his mother, who owned a restaurant for 16 years of his childhood.
“My mother had a Southern-style restaurant, for about sixteen years throughout my childhood. So, it really made me think about getting into the restaurant industry. I knew it was her passion, and I wanted to bring that to light,” he said.
And fans of the pizzeria rave about the pizza joint online!

Getting many NFL cliental, Chef Gabbz tells us how that amazing opportunity came about.
“So, fun fact I started with Eugene Monroe. He was my first client, and from him I just like trickled down the line,” she shared.
