Personally I've only ever found 2 vegan cheeses that I can stomach. Vegan Philadelphia is very good, and I use that in many recipes; the other was a feta substitute by Violife which I enjoyed mixed with avocado. The pizza has a vegan version of the popular smoked Applewood cheddar, which isn't bad, although not remotely attempting to be a mozzarella substitute.
My partner is allergic to gluten and milk protein, and the 3 cheese substitutes I've mentioned are the only ones we will buy for her. There are other vegan cheeses she has enjoyed at pizza places, but I don't know what those are. I'm with you on your experience of vegan cheese, but there are rare exceptions that I consider edible. Most of the time if cheese is going on something I'm getting real cheese for me.
