Trilogy Sanctuary is
an unusual name for a restaurant but that’s because it’s more
than a restaurant. It’s a community organization offering yoga,
holistic health-based trainings, aerial classes and a soy-free,
gluten-free vegan cafe. If you’re expecting just a
restaurant, it can seem a little confusing. The cafe is on the
rooftop at 7650
Girard Avenue in La Jolla. Parking is street parking
only (give yourself tons of time if you are meeting up). When you get
off the elevator, you pass through a gift shop, then across a deck
that is adjacent to a patio where the silks used by the aerialists
are hanging.

The cafe itself has
a rustic feel that uses a lot of natural wood and plants. It is
counter service, but the staff are friendly and bring the food out
quickly. (The hard, plastic cups for water are the exact same ones
Kate used as a child. She and her sister used to fight over the blue
one because they only had one of those -proving once again that
scarcity is the precursor to demand, but also aligning with the idea
of being transported to a simpler and time and place with the promise
of pizza. But we digress…) We had the pizza (of course), and the
Two Perfect Tacos.
The pizza (called
Cauliflower Crust Pizza on the menu) is actually a flatbread. They
mention this in the description, but we thought we would check it out
anyway. The crust is surprisingly cohesive, if a little floppy, and
it is covered with a vegan pesto, and various veggies including those
in the nightshade family. It’s sprinkled with what they call
“superfood parmesan.” We don’t know what that is, but it
wasn’t something you could even see on the pizza itself so… it
scores low on the cheez meter as there was no melting, grease or
“cheeziness” to contend with.
It was delicious!
The flavors melded in beautiful harmony and the fact that it’s all
vegetable based makes you wonder how they managed something so good
tasting and not too mushy. We recommend using a fork since the crust
is cut into thin strips and the vegetables tend to jump off the crust
right onto your plate.
In summary, we loved
the taste a lot, but it just wasn’t pizza. Feel free to add your
comments.
Pros: Super tasty!
Healthy (as far as we can tell). Supporting local business. Cool
yoga activities. Really nice staff.
Cons: Absolutely not
like actual pizza.
*Bonus Pros: The
tacos were freakin’ amazing!
Ratings on a 1-5 scale 1 being bleh and 5 being great.
