lasagna? on my pizza? - Edit
looks a bit sus from the outside as not much suggestion it's a fully vegan establishment. it's cozy inside though and the staff are friendly. I had the lasagna pizza which was wet, but so delicious it has to be not only forgiven, but embraced

Top Pizza - Edit
It is fairly uncommon to find the very traditional Marinara pizza on a menu in the UK, Purezza adds garlic slithers which only add to the rich and flavoursome tomato sauce.

Great pizza, shame about the extra charges - Edit
Really delicious pizza with a light and crispy base. Had parmigiana party and the pepperoni, both were great and pepperoni was my fave. Downside is they automatically ask 12.5% service charge to your bill, which you need to ask to remove. They also charge 49p for processing your card when there is no option to pay by cash. They should absorb the cost when it’s their choice to be cashless. Then they also ask if you want to add a tip which is pretty cheeky.
Read morePros: Great pizza, Friendly service , Nice interior
Cons: Service charge 12.5%, Charge for paying by card

So many choices! The aubergine pizza is one of the nicest pizzas I've ever eaten. Great choice of sides/small plates, and naughty puddings. Excellent place.

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
Cons: Sketchy app to pay, Hidden fees, Slow service

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!

I've been to the Camden branch in London a few times, and my first time visiting the one in Manchester. Got their weekday lunch deal of a 7" pizza with garlic potatoes and a soft drink.

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

Pros: Vegan attempt at pizzarea
Cons: Tasteless "chilli oil" from a "packet"
