About me:
When it comes to choosing a restaurant, I always want a second opinion, so Yelp used to be a perfect solution (even though I never thought I would post my own reviews). Although their ranking system seemed overly manipulated, Yelp was a convenient source for restaurant info, so I constantly referenced it. But when highly rated restaurants on the site began to fall flat, I was inclined to set the record straight. Over 50 yelp reviews later, I had had enough and decided to create The Confoodant, a place where a network of trusted food enthusiasts could grow and post their opinions.
Is it just a blog?
Confoodant.com is still in development, but the network of confoodants has already begun to grow and are invited to post their reviews on The Confoodant blog until the real website is up and running. The blog doesn't provide the features that the full site will, but just think of it as a temporary home to start sharing restaurant tips with people you trust (and who trust you).

I had an excellent vegan slice here, the “piquante” — it’s a crunchy whole-wheat crust generously topped with sauteed peppers, onions, tomato sauce, herbs, eggplant (I think), and what tastes like ground spicy sausage but is actually soy. The texture of the sauteed veggies is soft, like caponata. You really won’t miss the cheese — this may have been healthy but it felt like comfort food.
That said, I have been twice to their sister-restaurant, “Cafe Viva” up on 97th and Broadway, and had frustrating slices both times. I think I had the “Zen” and the “Vegetarian” — the veggies were undercooked, the soy cheese was unmelted, and it was impossible to eat since all the toppings slid off the pizza. I noticed they also had those varieties at the East Village location so unfortunately they’re probably similar.
Oh, and you should probably ask them to leave your slice in the oven for longer than usual. Every slice I’ve gotten turns out to still be a little cold in the middle.
