"The only reason I gave this 2 stars is the portions were large and the prices were reasonable (for Norway, anyway, which is overall expensive). I also give them credit for at least trying. Your vegan options in Lillihammer are limited, and this place at least has a few. It says American style pizza and as an American I 'm embarrassed it 's called that. They have 2 vegan pizza options with Oumph (a vegan meat alternative). One is California style (whatever that means the 2 basic American style pizzas are NY and Chicago, not CA... looked like a flatbread type crust, not a thin crust, but crispy flatbread in the pic). We chose the Chicago style, which is NOT deep dish. It 's a little bit of a thicker crust than a traditional NY style thin crust pizza, but nowhere near even a Sicilian style crust, let alone a deep dish Chicago style. Instead of cheese, for vegans, they use a garlic chili aioli which is basically mayonnaise (or whatever the Norwegian version of Vegenaise is). Never heard of pizza with mayo, but that was the option and we thought *maybe* it would have some kind of cheesy flavor. It didn 't. It was disgusting and we tried our best to scrape it off. The veggies were ok, sauce wasn 't great, and the crust was serviceable but not great either. My husband thought the Oumph was ok but he likes meat alternatives. I thought it was a bit rubbery but that 's more personal preference and I admit I don 't love a lot of fake meats. We did have chips and salsa which were fine. I can 't recommend this pizza at all. Even if you are with non vegans who want it with cheese the crust is mediocre and the sauce is not great. But, like I said, the portions are large and you won 't leave hungry."
