Farewell to Pizza Verde, Volunteer Sunday, and New Events

It’s another Friday full of good news, sad news, and just new news. So let’s get down to business.

Please reply in this email and let me know what you liked and what you would like to see less or more of. Your feedback will keep me going and make this newsletter better. Now lets get to it.

Farewell to Pizza Verde

Pizza Verde made an official announcement that they will be closing their doors soon. Looks like they couldn’t garner enough weekly traffic to keep things operational, which makes this another huge loss to the Fort Worth Vegan community, quickly following the closure of Vida Cafe.

They have not yet announced their final day, but be sure to follow their pages for updates. I spoke with the owners and they’re tentatively thinking end of July but circumstances can change.

As I’m a part of several vegan meetup groups, I suggested suggested that they coordinate a few meetups so everyone can get a chance to hang out and try their pizza one last time!

I may make my own meetup as well under the Dallas Vegan Insider flag. Let me know if you’re interested! I will be posting this on Facebook and Instagram once official.

Vendor News You Can Use

  • Memorial Day is around the corner and Planted Patisserie has got you covered again on desserts! This was announced in her story below. Be sure to reach out via DM to make your orders!

  • Did you know about Along Came Tamale? They have a few vegan tamal (yes, tamal, not tamale) options and they vend at Good Local Markets of Lakewood and White Rock and Rockwall Farmer’s Market.

  • POSTPONED: Badboi Vegan, in collaboration with Colorful Courtney, has postponed his dinner for May 24th. I have since removed the event from the calendar below.

    📅 Calendar Refresh 📅

    I have added a few new events since last week’s newsletter and I’m including some June events as they trickle in.

As always, reply to this email if you need direction to the official event information.
