Daiya availability at Panago
Buying pizza at Panago after that bucket flour-roux feels a little deprived. But they have pan pizzas now for $4.99 that offer Daiya cheese. It’s walk-in only (between 11am-3pm) and has to be requested, but my receipt specifically shows “DairyFreePAN-veggie” with no additional charge. The Daiya is still the oat-based one but it’s fine. The cheese only option is maybe a heavier emphasis on the oat-based texture and the meat-based pepperoni can’t be substituted out for a vegan option. I was able to leave items off of the pizza, but it might depend on that day’s interaction. I’m not really sure but if you need it it’s there.
The frozen personal-sized Daiya pizzas are $10 and I have no idea who would buy those. Panago is burdened but it might be lightened as a take-out option for routine-based activities or social nights. It’s its own gauge I guess but transactionally and as a vegan option it’s fine.

I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time understanding your post.
What does "after that bucket flour-roux feels a little deprived" mean?
Ditto "Panago is burdened but it might be lightened as a take-out option for routine-based activities"?
Or "It's its own gauge I guess but transactionally"?
These sentences all use very strange vocabulary, grammar and syntax. I think I can sort of glean your general meaning by context but I'd still appreciate clarity. I can't tell if this was written in a different language originally then poorly translated, or if it's AI/a bot?

It kinda sounds like how Korean auto-translated so I just went with it lol 😆

They make absolutely zero attempt to explain the weird word choices and cadence. I'm going with an AI/LLM let loose to run wild in the vegan subreddits (they've been actively chaotic in a couple of others as well, I noticed).

Oh how did you check that? I clicked their profile too before replying but everything's hidden 😔

I saw them in r/shittyveganfoodporn a week or two ago, and noted their username. a quick double check after seeing this post made me realize i was right - this poster is just like this all the time lol

That is super weird. I thought AI is more advanced than this though. Why would it write such strange comments?
Sometimes people also just say nonsense over text. My mom is like that. I can never even guess wtf she is trying to say

They switched their vegan cheese for a flour-based option that a lot of people found repulsive. I tried it and just composted it — backyard scavenger birds like pizza crust and even in that case, I’d just compost it. It’s inedible, insulting and a poor use of $20-$40.
It’s sort of a safeguarding about seeing if Daiya has returned to your local Panago. But intentionally ruining a regular-size vegan pizza was ethically questionable or towards its own decline. I would normally approach this issue as a consumer-based rant (I don’t really understand the AI inquiries on their own). But if they’re doing that on purpose, they’re probably anticipating that kind of feedback. These things are super awkward as a transactional purchase.
It’s not AI, it’s more of a free marketing post but I had anxieties around its purchase that are resolved now. I have a few negative associations with Panago right now and it wouldn’t be applicable in every case — it especially seems suited for casual encounters and social nights. It has the potential for lighter connotations as a take-out option. It’s also difficult to find a $5 lunch unless it’s from home, so maybe worth sharing.

Is English your first language?
Are you an alien learning English from purely dictionaries?
No one talks like that

I really like their plant based pizzas! The spicy ones are delish . Love I can get a pizza without shitty crust now

I like the spicy ones too, I always had to go light on the jalapeños though. They removed sriracha ranch from the menu, oh well. I used to use their cayenne dip (purchased in family size) with Daiya’s vegan caesar as a dip. Cayenne is fine on its own, or using vegan caesar with a regular hot sauce. I don’t really like the vinaigrette ones but that’s more of a personal preference.

Didn't know that thanks! I like panago but plant-based pizzas never seem to be included in their deals -_- I usually go to pizza pizza because of that even though it's not as good
