At this non-traditional pizzeria, all the traditional toppings are available, including sausage, pepperoni, hamburger, peppers, onions and the like, but Galactic's long list of options also includes morel and shiitake mushrooms, wild rice, buffalo sausage, and for vegan customers, mock duck, nondairy mozzarella, and a range of sauces including tomato, ranch, barbecue, Thai peanut and garlic and olive oil.
The pizzas are better-than-average, especially the Thailander, topped with marinated chicken, green onions, shredded carrots and crushed peanuts. Hemp is prominently featured in several menu items, including the signature Galactic pizza, the hemp Caesar salad, the rasta pasta (penne noodles with broccoli, tomatoes and Parmesan) and chocolate-hemp brownies from the nearby French Meadow Bakery.
Many local restaurants support worthy causes, and a few make special efforts to support local farmers and
encourage sustainable agriculture, but Galactic Pizza takes social responsibility in the restaurant business to a whole other level. All of the energy used by the pizzeria is produced sustainably, and (weather permitting) deliveries are made using emission-free battery-powered Gizmo three wheelers, by delivery drivers outfitted in snappy jumpsuits with
matching capes. A dollar from every Second Harvest pizza (tomatoes, mozzarella, garlic and organic basil) sold is donated to that worthy organization's hunger relief efforts, while their CSA pizza comes topped with seasonal produce from a community supported agriculture farm share. Organic ingredients are used whenever possible.
