As metro Phoenix chefs gear up for the start of the fall Arizona Restaurant Week, another food-centric celebration is taking place. Phoenix Vegan Restaurant Week is underway, which champions all things plant-based.

Phoenix Vegan Restaurant Week started on Sunday and runs through Sept. 15. Eateries all over the Valley are participating with special menus and dishes for customers to try. Participants include brick-and-mortar restaurants such as Dilla Libre, Uniq Burger and Vegan & Vine, along with food trucks and pop-ups, including Naughty Vegan and Bereisheet 129 Vegan.

Here are three menus we're excited to try this week.

Freak Brothers Pizza slings pies at The Churchill.

The Churchill

Freak Brothers Pizza
901 N. First St. #103
Located inside The Churchill in downtown Phoenix, Freak Brothers Pizza isn't a dedicated vegan restaurant. But the pizzeria offers tasty plant-based options, making it the perfect spot for groups with mixed dietary preferences. During Phoenix Vegan Restaurant Week, the pizzeria is offering a three-course meal that would be perfect for sharing for $33. Start with hummus served with pita and veggies before digging into "The Plant Zaddy" pizza, topped with vegan alfredo sauce, plant-based sausage and pepperoni, vegan cheeses, basil and vegan hot honey. Finish off with a choice of dessert.
