SPIN! Pizza: What’s Vegetarian Editorial Review

SPIN! Pizza in Richardson serves Neapolitan-style pizza with a real vegan option, not a garden salad picked clean. Order the Margherita, $17.75 for a 12-inch, with a vegan cheese swap, or build your own on the Create Your Own menu starting at $14.50. Vegan cheese is a standard topping choice here, not a special request that throws off the kitchen, so a vegetarian or vegan diner isn’t stuck picking dairy off a Veggie pie.

The Veggie pizza comes loaded with red peppers, spinach, red onions, crimini mushrooms, and goat cheese on red sauce. Swap in vegan cheese and skip the goat cheese, and it turns into a fully vegan pie without much back-and-forth at the counter. 5 Cheese and Spinach & Garlic pizzas are already vegetarian as written. For salad, the Greek comes with feta, roasted artichokes, kalamata olives, and red wine vinaigrette, no meat involved. Spinach & Goat Cheese and 8 Color round out the vegetarian salad list.

This isn’t a vegetarian restaurant, and it doesn’t pretend to be. Most of the menu leans meat: pepperoni, Italian sausage, prosciutto, meatballs, several chicken pizzas. But SPIN! marks its vegan and gluten-free items with icons right on the printed menu, which signals the kitchen has actually thought about this rather than leaving diners to guess. Staff are trained to field vegan questions, and “just ask your cashier” is the restaurant’s own phrasing for it. A downloadable allergen guide covers ingredient-level detail for anyone who wants it before ordering.

Cross-contact is worth knowing about going in. The menu makes no mention of a separate vegan prep line or dedicated oven, and for a fast-casual kitchen like this one, pizzas most likely bake alongside pepperoni and sausage pies on shared equipment. That’s normal for the format, not a red flag exactly, but strict vegans with allergy-level concerns should call ahead and ask directly instead of assuming full separation.

A 12-inch pizza runs $14.50 to $19.50 depending on toppings, with 14-inch versions adding roughly $4. Salads come in half and full sizes, from $7.75 to $15. Gluten-free or cauliflower crust adds $3.75 to $4.75. On the dessert side, the gelato case includes a vegan chocolate flavor, a nice touch for a pizza chain that could easily have skipped it.

SPIN! works well for a casual dinner with a mixed group, where one person wants pepperoni and another wants vegan and the same restaurant needs to feed both without drama. It’s counter-service, order at the register and grab a table, so there’s no reservation to book. Richardson’s location sits at 348 W Campbell Rd, open daily from 11am to 9pm.

The brand’s roots go back to Overland Park, Kansas, in 2005, built around Neapolitan-style pizza when that format was still rare in the region. It’s since grown into 13 locations across Texas, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska, with Richardson as the Dallas-area outpost. That regional scale means consistency: what you order here should roughly match a Kansas City location, for better or worse depending on what you’re hoping to find.

For vegetarians and vegans in Richardson, SPIN! is a solid backup rather than a destination. You won’t find an all-vegetarian menu or a dedicated vegan kitchen, but you will find real vegan cheese, a marked menu, and staff who won’t blink at a modification request. That beats most pizza chains.
