Park Plazza Pizza: What’s Vegetarian Editorial Review

Park Plaza Pizza isn’t a vegetarian specialist, it’s a family pizza shop running the same recipe since 1982, but a cheese pizza and a few classic sides give you a real, dependable meatless meal without much extra thought. The shop traces back to the original Pizza Villa of Beaver Dam and has stayed in the same family for four generations, built around a pizza sauce recipe that reviewers say national chains can’t match.

What’s vegetarian and vegan at Park Plaza Pizza

Reviewers and the restaurant itself point to mozzarella sticks, deep fried mushrooms, and a plain cheese pizza as the clearest vegetarian-friendly picks on the menu. Beyond that, the menu runs through pizza toppings like pepperoni, Canadian bacon, sausage, and even a Canadian Bacon and Sauerkraut specialty pizza, so building a cheese pizza with whatever vegetable toppings the kitchen has on hand is your main way to customize a meatless order here. The menu also covers apps, dinners, and sandwiches beyond pizza, though specific vegetarian versions of those weren’t confirmed in the sources available. Nothing on the menu is marked or confirmed as vegan anywhere online, this is dairy-heavy vegetarian food built around real mozzarella, not a plant-based kitchen. Reviewers describe the crust as thin and the pizza as good even in a gluten-free version, which is a separate consideration from vegetarian status but worth knowing if you’re managing more than one dietary need at the table.

How to order

Order a cheese pizza with whatever vegetable toppings the counter has available that day, and add mozzarella sticks or deep fried mushrooms as a side to round out the meal. This is a small, family-run shop, and the staff know their own rotating ingredients better than any online menu listing does, so ask directly about which vegetable toppings are in stock and how dishes like the mushrooms are prepared. Dine-in, takeout, and delivery are all available throughout the Beaver Dam area if you’d rather eat at home.

What to watch out for

This is a from-scratch pizza kitchen built around meat toppings like pepperoni and sausage, so shared ovens and prep surfaces mean real cross-contact risk between meat and vegetarian orders if that matters to you. There’s no vegan cheese or confirmed plant-based option anywhere in what’s available online, so vegans should call ahead and ask directly about crust and cheese ingredients before making the trip, rather than assuming a veggie pizza here means dairy-free. The restaurant is small and, by its own reviewers’ account, a little worn around the edges physically, so this is a place you’re visiting for the food and the family history behind it, not for atmosphere.

Is Park Plaza Pizza worth it?

If you’re vegetarian and already in Beaver Dam, yes, a 4.5 Google rating and four generations of local loyalty back up a simple cheese pizza order as a safe, satisfying choice. It also holds a 4.3 rating on TripAdvisor, ranked 11th of 45 restaurants in town. Vegans will want to confirm ingredients first by phone, since nothing here is built specifically for a dairy-free diet.
