Muchas opciones veganas - Edit
Estaba de viaje con amigos y tuve que buscar un sitio donde todos estuvieran felices. Esta pizzería veganiza el 80% de la carta, incluido postres. Además tiene muchas muchas opciones GF. Pedimos pizza y un plato vegano combinado de hummus, harissa, alcachofas...

Amazing - Edit
My omni friend and I came here because vrevs was fully booked and we were pleasantly surprised! The decor is lovely, we got seated and served very quickly, the food was delicious, and oh my godddd the vegan cheese on the pizza is divine! I had the peanut butter krispie bites for dessert, the hot peanut butter dip is to die for! We were so pleased in the end that vrevs was full, or we wouldn’t have discovered this gem! Would definitely recommend this to anyone!

The best vegan pizza in Manchester - Edit
I’ve ate at Dough loads of times now because their vegan cheese is unreal. Even my non-vegetarian friends order it on their pizza or cheesy garlic bread it’s that good! Also a great atmosphere with good lunch deals and standard prices for dinner. Also have some incredible vegan desserts which can be super hard to find. Fab place to suit all diets and near the city centre and transport options!! Obviously not a solely veggie place so you’d have to be okay with that to visit.

Cheers to Dough Pizza Kitchen for offering vegan & gluten-free options • my experience here wasn't awesome, though, unfortunately.
Read moreMy visit was on a fairly busy Sunday afternoon, but it didn't seem so crazy that it should have taken 3 attempts to get my simple order right, which meant that everyone else at my table had already moved on to dessert • we were offered free drinks while we waited, but nothing more.
The jackfruit pizza wasn't terribly impressive, and the salad tasted only of lettuce.
In the end, we couldn't even get our bill & ended up having to wait around by the front counter for quite a while.
Again, unfortunate. Hopefully this was a one-off!
Pros: Vegan + gluten-free options
Cons: Really really really poor service

Great Vegan Pizza - Edit
Obviously this isn't a veggie place so if you are sensitive to seeing meat, don't go. I didn't smell any meat.
Read morePlenty options for vegetarians, reasonable number for vegans. They do a light style of pizza so it's not cheese heavy. It's the sort where you are meant to also enjoy the sauce, base and veg and they do this very well. Not sure which vegan cheese they use but it's a good one.
I paid £10 for a pizza and soft drink, not cheap but a fair price. Staff are excellent, attentive but not too much, very friendly.
It's a nice place but unpretentiously so.
Edit: visited again in Sept 2018, above is still true

Pizza and dessert! - Edit
Loved the pizza here with great vegan cheese! I got the rice crispy squares for dessert with a peanut butter sauce and it was delicious! I came here when I was first vegan and wasn't very impressed but I think it has improved a lot and I will definitely be going back!

good vegan pizza and dairy free ice cream! - Edit
Had a nice veggie pizza here with vegan cheese. The pizzas are good but nothing special - considering it is called dough I thought it would be all about the big sourdough crusts but they are just normal bases. Pizza was good though and lots of toppings and good size and they also do vegan ice cream too (but I didn't try it!)

Highstreet vegan pizza? Well ok then! - Edit
Until someone opens a fully vegan pizzeria within a reasonable distance of my house, this will have to do. Went with some veggies and meat eaters, as the only vegan it was nice to not feel left out for once when ordering from the vast menu. The pizza was delightful, I will definitely go here again.

Good pizza but no dessert - Edit
Dough is a great place to eat with omni friends because there is something for everyone (who loves pizza... which is surely everyone?). Basically all the pizzas that are made with mozeralla (i.e. not a fancy cheese like brie) can be made dairy free with vegan cheese.
Read moreSadly last time I went the vegan dessert option (chocolate brownie, peanut blondie and DF ice cream) had disappeared. Pretty disappointing for a restaurant trying to make itself inclusive.
Pros: Vegan cheese
Cons: No vegan dessert

Nice food and helpful staff - Edit
I ate here on my way through Manchester and it was really nice. The food was just right and they even had some really good dairy- free ice cream. What was weird was that they labeled gluten free and dairy free products but not if the product is vegan or not so read through the menu very carefully otherwise you might end up eating something dairy free but with meat
Read morePros: Nice staff
Cons: Not very cheap for the portions but it was ok

Okay. - Edit
My boyfriend had the vegan pizza, which was good. I had the pasta, which was was mostly boring (just pasta and some tomatosauce). It was fine, because I was really hungry, but not really exciting.

Maybe not for pizza, but there are better veg options in Manchester - Edit
So yes, there were a few vegan options on the menu and they've got dairy free (they seem to prefer that term and though I asked about casein they repeated their preferred term, never actually confirming its veganness) cheese and ice cream (coconut based). But the cheese and the pies and the one salad we could get were super salty. Besides being salty, the pie bases were quite insubstantial. Italian pie makers would be ashamed. Rather glam place.
Read moreI would suggest going here if you're dining with an omnivore, but there are other better choices for a vegan in Manchester.
Pros: Clearly marked Dairy Free options
Cons: More of a cracker with toppings

Decent vegan pizzas - Edit
We came here on a Saturday evening and had some nice pizzas. The menu was labelled clearly, making it easy to pick out which ones could be ordered vegan, although there were only a small number of veganisable pizzas on the menu as most contained meat. The staff were very friendly and helpful though, and the pizzas themselves were tasty; really crispy bases and flavourful sauces without relying too much on vegan cheese. If they offered more vegan pizzas on the menu, this would be a four-happy-cow review.

Vegan pizza heaven, but... - Edit
Consistently good, attentive staff and great value place for lunch or dinner in the city centre.
Read moreAlways plenty of vegan cheeze on my pizza when I went - if in doubt, ask when ordering for a good amount of topping!
They offer a range of vegan and gluten free pizzas, plus vegan puddings. Some of the wines and beers/ciders are vegan. Great cocktail bar next door (Apotheca) if you fancy a pre/post drinkee too!
I guess Dough is fine if you're happy to be somewhere where other people are eating meat (no meat smell in the restaurant or cross contamination in the kitchen), but not everyone will be comfortable due to the extensive meat on the menu.
Worth a visit, book in advance if want a Saturday evening meal.
Pros: Vegan, Gluten free, Friendly staff
Cons: Meat on the menu

Dough Pizza Kitchen, Manchester - Edit
I'm a little unsure what to say about this place. In my mind I am questioning if it is justified in being listed on happycow. While the menu clearly indicates which items are vego and also which are dairy free for those of a vegan persuasion, what seems to me to be a bit more than half the menu seems to be dedicated to eating dishes with slaughtered animals. In this joint vegoism isn't the number 1 drivers on the menu in this place.
Read moreThe waiting staff were pleasant and helpful enough. I went for the vegan edition of their vego delux pizza. For a place that partly bills itself on offering vegan cheese, it seemed slightly ironic that the cheese on the pizza consisted of 4 slices off the end of a block. This covered less than half the pizza. Otherwise the pizza was fine.
Decor is contemporary without being over the top. No issued with atmo.
Would I be OK to go back here again if I was with a friend who refused to eat in an all vego restaurant? Yes. Would I go here again in other circumstances? Probably not, Manchester has the best choice of vego eateries in the North of England so I'd prefer to satisfy my hunger in one of those.
Pros: Vegan friendly
Cons: Serves many meat based dishes, Tight fisted with the vegan cheese

Amazing everything - Edit
I visited the restaurant with my flatmate and little brother (who has autism and learning difficulties), with both me and my brother being vegan also finding somewhere suitable for a sit down meal isn't easy. Well upon arriving at Dough it was ideal based on the atmosphere and the staff, both were amazing. Friendly, helpful, extremely informative and had just right with the "why is no one around":"stop bugging me and let me eat my food" ratio!
Read moreSo the food - Well we were informed that everything with the symbol "DF" (dairy free) on the menu was available as a vegan option, so if it had anything non vegan on they'd just make it without. This left literally about 80% of the menu to choose from, and for a place that isn't listed as vege/vegan only this was really impressive.
I ordered a tuna teryaki (minus the tuna of course) and it came with their vegan cheese substitute also, great pizza, great flavours. My brother went for a margarita and loved it, and we got a garlic bread with tomato sauce to share which was awesome.
To top it all off, because they'd taken a bit longer than usual to get us our food (we were behind a big table), they knocked 25% off the bill.
Overall 9/10, they only lose the 1 because of the time it took!
Pros: Great food, Awesome staff, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Very busy/took a while, Noisy

wow! - Edit
I have to say I LOVE this place. the food is great and despite catering to meaties /veggis and vegans, it manages to provide a fair few options for everyone. The menu is clearly labelled which helps avoid the general confusion that usually occurs and there's always a nice feeling I haven't have since way back when I ate meat of 'mmm WHICH to have' as appose to 'mmm what CAN I have??' The food always seems very fresh and the one and only time that we had a delay on the food service, our waiter gave us a discount despite us not mentioning the wait. I would highly recommend this for adult family parties as it caters for everyone and always has unusual takes on the classic pizza.
Read morePros: Beautiful Interior, Friendly, helpful staff, Great food for the price
Cons: Can get very busy so make sure to book!
