Did you know that Ohio's oldest vegetarian restaurant is located in Columbus?
Whole World Pizza & Bakery is just one of Columbus’ many vegetarian eateries, and it’s actually the oldest vegetarian eatery in all of Ohio. The restaurant opened in 1978 in Clintonville and has been serving up fresh, local, vegetarian fare ever since.
The menu at Whole World is 100% vegetarian and nearly all of their offerings can be made vegan with no complaint or disappointment. Whole World prepares their dishes with fresh ingredients, which are often organic and sourced as locally as possible.
Soups are prepared daily in small batches, so you can really taste the freshness and true natural flavors. There are no preservatives in play here, and the difference is clear.
On their sandwich menu, diners will find a wide variety of options. The broccoli burger, which can be made vegan by omitting the cheese (or subbing vegan cheese), is one of the most popular items. Also on deck are classic omnivore dishes made veg, including a sloppy joe sandwich, a “meatball” sub (made with eggplant and tofu) and even a gyro, made from seitan (a vegan meat alternative).
Whole World is so serious about freshness that they make all their sandwich breads in-house and vegan as well. Choose from whole wheat, black bread, pita, and a real rarity: a vegan croissant.
The oldest vegetarian restaurant in Ohio is also a great spot for Sunday brunch. Whole World offers a full brunch menu, including vegan pancakes, scrambled tofu, vegan French toast and more. They even make their vegan sausage patties in house.
Whether you’re already vegan and looking for a new option, or wanting try out some vegan food in the new year, you can’t go wrong with Ohio’s oldest vegetarian restaurant, found right here in Columbus.
