VEGGIE PLANET, the epicurean alter ego of Club Passim, isn’t just for hairy-legged hippies and irritating vegans. No, there’s no meat here, but the pizzas are so unbelievably good that you won’t miss a single slice of pepperoni — promise. The Lunch for Henry (named for the favorite meal of co-owner Didi Emmons’s kitty) combines roasted butternut squash, caramelized onions, sage, and goat cheese, nestled on an organic pizza crust. It creates a hearty, delicious meal. The Open Faced Grilled Cheese pizza is just as it sounds: sinfully gooey and downright stratospheric. Who knew that vegetarian food could be this satisfying? Well, vegetarians, probably. Sunday brunch here is bustling, but fix yourself a cup of fair-trade coffee and wait it out.
