"This whole thing started with Raku pointing out that there is no vegan pizza option. "
Should I insist vegan restaurants have non-vegan options?
Veganism is like a penis: It's fine to have one and it's fine to be proud of it, but please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around. So keep you fundamentalist religion to yourselves.
#95/#96: Ordering pizza-no-cheese is 1st wave vegan nonsense, just like ordering a hamburger without the meat, just a bun, lettuce, and tomato. You're subsidizing non-vegans (by paying for the cheese or meat), it's not on the menu so it doesn't give conscious omnivores an option, and you're not getting a real meal. It was fine for the early 90's or if you find yourself in rural Alabama, but there's no need for that now.
Just make a good vegan offering, put it on the menu, and charge what it should cost, if you don't want to get made fun of as an out-of-date chain restaurant for conservatives. If that's your thing, keep doing what you're doing.

So is corn syrup.

I don't see how this is complicated.
