Food good, sketchy payment app with fees - Edit
I've been to the branches in Brighton and Camden so knew the food is good. Did not disappoint. However when it came to pay we were given a QR code which took me to a site to pay ("sundayapp"). It asked for a tip and 49p "platform fee". I refused the tip because of this but then found I'd been charged 12.5% service charge anyway. Surely that service charge should pay for the tips and this weird payment system? Really disappointed to see Purezza double dipping like this. Felt scammed.

Pros: Food good

Rushed here as soon as it hit 12 - Edit
I’ve been to the London restaurant and I was in Manchester passing through. I had to eat some lunch so I had a gander at the happy cow app. My mouth dropped open- Purezza in Manchester??! I had to go and my golly what a joy it was to taste this glorious food again. The lunch deal is generous and absolutely hits the spot!

Simply the Best - Edit
I still think about Purezza every time I endure the pretty bogstandard pizza that’s widely available either in supermarkets, or from your local chain pizza place. Sadly, I don’t live close enough to any of the few Purezza’s, tempting though it is to move just that bit closer for the sake of good pizza - the only thing that a man will move a hundred miles away for!
Read moreThe pizza here is just really, really good, and so are the sides. I’d heard of Purezza prior to visiting Manchester, and while my expectations were high based on whispers, and rumours, I have to admit that they were exceeded in the end. This is the kind of food that gives veganism a good name, indistinguishable from the “real” thing, full of flavour, and texture.
Obviously, I’d heartily recommend that anybody visits if they’re in the area, or even if you’re a little further away and you’re willing to take a detour for the sake of excellence in the field of pizza.
Pros: Everything
Cons: None

Best vegan pizza on the planet. - Edit
OMG. This pizza, which is 100% vegan, is insanely great. It would be great if it were any pizza, but for vegan, nothing can touch it. If my diet would allow me to eat pizza every day, I would move next door.

Best vegan pizza - Edit
My partner and I were visiting Manchester and just wanted something comforting after a long drive.
Read moreWe're both familiar with purezza from Brighton and Camden, so thought we'd go somewhere we knew was going to be amazing.
As with the other purezza's, this doesnt disappoint! The dough is amazing, the variety is great and its super filling.

Happy it exists, disappointed in quality - Edit
I like the idea of this place, being fully vegan must be a challenge. However thought overall flavor of foods disappointing but I'm glad that Manchester has this option for my vegan friends.
Read moreThe break down:
Pesto bought in not made in house. But mixed with home made mayo. The mayo has a sharpness and is pleasant overall. 7/10
Chilli oil bought in, literally no flavor and hardly any spice. I picked up and tasted the oil on the table next to me to see if it was just something wrong with the oil on my table, there was no difference in taste. I asked the waitress what the base oil was, and they said they didn't know and that "it comes from a packet"... 😬?? Pretty sure it is VEGETABLE oil with some chili powder 0/10
Mac and cheese watery not strong cheese flavor but understanable, the panchetta and truffle does give it some flavor 6/10
The Parimangana Pizza's Marianna sauce very nice. 8/10
Texture of base very good, however slight burnt on the one edge which could not be eaten. 7/10
Aubergine prices ... 5/10
Overall pizza is 6/10
For a fresh pizza I expect much much more.
3/5

A bit disappointing - Edit
I was really looking forward to eating here having read the reviews. My pizza was overdone/burnt and my partner was under the impression that the kimchi on her pizza would come separate after we asked but it didn’t and that ruined her experience too. The staff appeared to be quite blunt and a bit rushed. We didn’t really feel welcomed or comfortable. Maybe I just hit on a bad day but my overall experience wasn’t what I was expecting.

Pizza! - Edit
Edit: Most recent pics from my second visit. My sister (meat eater) loved it and wants to go back next time we're in Manchester.
Read moreHad this pistachio pesto pizza - the cheese was crazy good. They had no mortadella left and made a couple of suggestions for replacement - told I wasn't bothered and they could decide for me. Think it was a pancetta type of thing in the end. Good vibes, decent service, nice cocktails. I really think you could take a carnivore here and they'd be quite happy.

Superb! - Edit
This is the fourth branch of Purezza we've been to (we even went to the London Camden one on our wedding day!) and as always the pizzas were excellent!
Read moreThis time we went for a Black Truffle pizza and a Pistachio pizza with a Truffle Dough Dipper. Both pizzas were delicious! The dough was soft, light and delicious and the toppings were so good. The Black Truffle had a strong truffle flavour and the Pistachio was lovely and rich and creamy. The Truffle Dough Dipper also came in a nice big pot and was very tasty to have with the pizza crusts.
If you love pizza please visit Purezza, you will not be disappointed!
Pros: Delicious pizza, Creative and interesting menu, Menu changes regularly

We went on Sunday 22nd June 2025. Our daughters took us, with 2 of their children. I ordered the Parmigiana Party Pizza and my wife ordered the Black Truffle Pizza. we split them and have each of each. Fabulous! So tasty! We had tiramisu for desserts. Great food! We live in Greater Manchester so will be back. Even the kids ate everything they had.
