My other go-to is the Leaf Eater - light but tasty. I go the Satay if I want to get stuffed. My friend once ate a Hothead by himself and didn't fare well for it.<br /><br />I must confess after getting addicted to EatPizza (check out Krisy's photo on their pinboard) and Nostralis' garlic pizza, I'd forgotten how good Plush is if you've got the $$$.<br /><br />BecAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-90961660000726026852010-01-27T11:12:28.335+11:002010-01-27T11:12:28.335+11:00Hi Joanne!

Thanks for the advice re: public transport - Michael offered the train as an option but I insisted on tramming it for some reason. :-)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-52139781081957713782010-01-24T11:38:22.874+11:002010-01-24T11:38:22.874+11:00Hi Cindy.

(It is mildly spicy, and is finished with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, so you'd have to keep those in mind if you're opposed to either.) The Chunky is also very good.<br /><br />Are you sure that what you tried from the Hothead was vegan cheese? Plush are fairly sparing with the Cheezly, so if it was something that was any kind of "chunk" it may well have been a sliver of fried tofu rather than vegan cheese - which would explain its blandness!<br /><br />Also, as a Hawthorn local, I wanted to point out that in addition to being on the #75 tram line, Plush is only about three minutes' walk from Hawthorn train station, and as trains are faster than trams, you'd be shaving about 10 minutes off of your travelling time (from the city) by taking the train. :)Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211293469071764649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-62166699065375733572010-01-18T21:21:57.801+11:002010-01-18T21:21:57.801+11:00Heh, I'm getting strong Ben Special vibes from...Heh, I'm getting strong Ben Special vibes from y'all. :-)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-26215173416734912242010-01-17T22:44:35.145+11:002010-01-17T22:44:35.145+11:00Satay and Tom Yum are class.

Strangely they didn't turn up in my Google searches.<br /><br />Theresa, Johanna & Hannah - it is sadly a bit of a distance, isn't it? (For some of us more than others. :-D) But I think it's worth the double-tram ride, if not a journey of 100s of kilometres. <br /><br />Avocado allergy, Fiona?

I lurved all of the mushroom&dill, Ben Specials, and various other 'specials' that Kristy and Toby and Tim and Caroline and Dan had formulated. So yummy.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08526136978255752695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-68143963110648177892010-01-15T18:13:03.542+11:002010-01-15T18:13:03.542+11:00Not really offical reviews, but I have blogged abo...Not really offical reviews, but I have blogged about plush here: http://bluerthanpink.blogspot.com/2008/04/plush-pizza-party-on-fri-night-we-went.html and I'm sure one other time where I raved about having pesto with satay together and Theresa blogged about it here: http://travelingvegan.blogspot.com/2008/12/saturday-in-melbourne.html<br /><br />I tend to be slack with places that I frequent though, I guess because it feels like old news.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391678902908585000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-28574200844102067132010-01-15T17:41:09.227+11:002010-01-15T17:41:09.227+11:00Plush is pretty amazing, unfortunately the wrong s...Plush is pretty amazing, unfortunately the wrong side of town for me though! I agree about vegan cheese, I don't usually miss it if I get a pizza without. That said, I couldn't imagine orering an Eat Pizza without the vegan cheese!lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01360941729345573146noreply@blogger.com
