Vegan London: Purezza

What’s the deal?

Purezza was the first vegan pizzeria in the UK. Originating in Brighton, this Italian pizzeria serves homemade pizzas made with passion that are just as it happens also completely and utterly plant-based. Purezza pizzas are made using hemp flour and are topped with a delicious mozzarella fermented from Italian brown rice milk. These delicious pizzas don’t scrimp on flavours, but are somehow half the calories and fat - and the Purezza chain recently won the title of ‘best pizza in the UK’.

Purezza is aiming to make a plant-based menu ‘superior to the traditional alternatives’, and we have not been disappointed on the many, many occasions that we’ve frequented.

What to eat?

Not to be outdone by the pizzas, this garlic bread is loaded with rosemary and garlic puree in abundance. Delicious.

#FLODown: Whether you’re vegan or not, Purezza has some of the best pizzas in London. Plus, with an award to prove it who are we to argue?

Purezza operate on a walk-in basis, and as their space isn’t the biggest it can mean a short wait during peak hours. However, bookings can be made for six or more diners. Purezza is a cashless venue.

Purezza have some cool offers available including:

• 10% off the food bill for students and NHS staff.

• ‘Power hour’ between 4-5pm on a weekday for free garlic bread or a glass of wine when you order anything off the main menu.
