Eat Love Pizza — Restaurant in Ghent

Their slogan is, "Love mother earth, it’s the only planet where you can eat pizza". Enough said.

We actually stumbled upon Eat Love Pizza by accident. We were in the mood for Taco's but the restaurant we had decided on was full and we could not get in. As we walked back in the direction of our hotel we passed a Pizza place that boasted about having Gluten Free and Vegan options. So, much like in Utrecht with Vegitalian, we had to go in!

We were able to get a table right away. There wasn't a menu in English so we muddled though the Dutch using Google translate. We started with the ANTIPASTI - VOORAFJES, Olive The Hulk and then shared a pizza. It was quite possibly the most 'far out' pizza that I've ever ordered.

So, it was a gluten free crust with a parsnip sauce, fried portobello mushrooms with leeks, garlic and sesame, pumpkin and fresh herbs.

I loved it. Trevor wasn't the biggest fan. Not because of the taste but because it didn't have meat and it was just so different from the normal pizza that he likes.

The pizza's range from €14,50 - €20,00. A bit on the pricier side but all of their ingredients are natural and locally sourced. Their pizza dough travels no less that 72 hours and their pizzas are's inspired by Roman tradition with wafer-thin crust.

They are open Monday to Friday from 6pm - 10pm, Saturday 12pm - 2pm and 5:30pm - 11pm and Sunday's 12pm - 2pm and 5:30pm - 10pm. Eat Love Pizza is 350m (a 5 minute walk) from Sint-Michielsplein. So very centrally located to the other amazing things to see in Ghent.

Making it a great place to...

For 3 years of living in Ghent I have never been in this pizzeria and will never go again, I think. I came here during Ghent Floralien festival because this pizzeria was mentioned as a restaurant with "Floralien menu". We booked a table (and were quite surprized that it was possible to book, but when we came we understood why). I asked for Floralien dishes, the waitress (nice, friendly and polite) told that she needs to ask managers if they still serve it. She came back and told, that yes, it is possible. I ordered. In 5 minutes it appeared it is not possible. I found it cheating, but oke, we ordered pizza. My husband liked the pizza, for me it seemed more like a soup, that liquid pizza (ah, may be they call it juicy?) I have never seen before in my life and even burned my fingers with this "juice". I ordered also magic mushrooms, it's a snack there. Mushrooms vere interesting, I enjoyed, they taste like bread, but still were muchrooms. Music was good, atmospere was relaxing, but if impression is spoiled once it is...

The atmosphere of the restaurant itself was nice. I only have short interaction of the staffs but they were ok and the place can get quite busy. It is dog friendly restaurant. I am happy with the Bosco (the special pizza without tomato sauce) however the special suggestion “jerky chicken” left us with some disappointment as it didn’t had a lot of chicken and pineapple. So some of the reviews stating about its on an expensive side for what you get can apply for this. Other than that I am happy with tiramisu. Nevertheless I would recommend people who want to try out something new despite it’s not an authentic Italian pizzas. Also you have an option to order “half half” so you can try two tastes instead of one for those people who have a hard time deciding on which pizza to eat. Besides there are also other option...
