Well take heart pizza missers, because there is actually some excellent vegan pizza in Miami. As is usually the case, it's found in a somewhat obscure and unsuspecting place that doesn't even advertise it sells vegan pizza.
Alaska Coffee Roasters in North Miami is a humble coffee establishment that puts out some seriously good food. From a lush dessert case filled with humongous cake slices, brownies, cookies and cannolis to gourmet soups, sandwiches and exquisite roasted coffee. But the star food item here (and what almost everyone in the lunch crowd comes for) is the pizza - made from hand-stretched dough and fresh toppings and baked in a huge wood-fired oven. The oven bakes the doughy crust, sauce and veggies into something crisp and intensely flavorful, while Daiya cheese is transformed from plain, half-inferior imitation cheese to something that really resembles melty, tangy mozzarella. It's almost like magic!

The pizzas go for $8.50 and $10 for 10 and 12-inch pizzas plus an extra $2 for the Daiya. I highly recommend the Aegean - with spinach, olives, red onions and diced sweet peppers - and the classic Marguerita topped with cheese, basil and tomatoes. Their rich, garlic-suffused marinara sauce is also divine and worth ordering an extra side of.
Forget vegan - this is some of the best pizza you will find in Miami, period. For a wild slice of pizza heaven, make the trek through Miami's wilderness to Alaska Coffee - their pizza will transport you.
