Jacksonville, Florida | Tridence Hospitality: A Culinary Revolution in Pizza<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wild Pie<\/strong>: A Trailblazer in Plant-Based Cuisine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nestled in the heart of Jacksonville's bustling Hodges Pointe Plaza, Wild Pie stands as a testament to culinary innovation and environmental consciousness. This 100% plant-based pizza restaurant has recently ignited its ovens, heralding a new era in sustainable dining. Wild Pie occupies the space previously held by Brucci's Pizza, transformed through a $550,000 renovation by Osterer Construction Co. and designed by M. Todd Osburn Architect LLC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pizzas: A Symphony of Flavors<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At Wild Pie, pizza is not just a dish; it's an experience. The restaurant offers a variety of 11-inch and 14-inch pizzas, with options like the \"Veg Out,\" \"The Meat(less) Lover,\" and \"Taco 'Bout It.\" For those seeking a unique twist, a build-your-own pie option is available. Gluten-free crusts are also offered for a nominal additional charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Commitment to Quality<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Bart Ortiz, President of Wild Pie LLC, emphasizes the importance of taste in their plant-based offerings. \"The food, first and foremost, has to taste great,\" he asserts. The menu is carefully crafted to cater not only to those following plant-based diets but also to flexitarians. The restaurant proudly uses meat substitutes like Happy Little Plants pepperoni and sausage by Hormel Foods, Daring Plant Chicken, Impossible meatballs, and Beyond Sausage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design and Atmosphere<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The interior design of Wild Pie features copper accents, white subway tile, and softly lit lighting fixtures, creating a cozy ambiance perfect for pizza enthusiasts. This design philosophy extends to the restaurant's operational ethos, focusing on counter service and dine-in and takeout options. The commitment to a warm and welcoming environment is evident in every aspect of the restaurant's operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
