Great Pizza & Dips 🍕

Great, cheap sour dough pizza. Don’t have vegan cheese but I had the vegan special which was great. The marinara is a classic and under £6!

Reliable pizza all the time

lacking

Pizza arrived way too late without the garlic dip, but besides that it was lacking everything. It had no vegan cheese, almost no sauce, a few pieces of thinly sliced vegetables and a few olives. Very dry and totally pointless for 12£.

Franco Mr Shankly

This place came highly recommended from a good Italian friend who is extremely picky about which Italian places he would eat at. I had the vegan special of the day which was topped with vegan mince, sliced green peppers, cauliflower puree, onions and a light sprinkling of cheese. There was a bit too much bare dough on show around the perimeter of the pizza for my liking but it was delicious nonetheless. We also ordered a cheese and tomato pizza with an extra topping of smoke aubergine which was quite exceptional and served on what seemed a much thinner base. A bottle of house red was a fair £18.95 and lashings of chilli oil on the pizza spiced up the night.

Pros: very vegan aware, fantastic pizza, fair prices

Probably the best vegan pizza I have ever had

Large soft dough option with peppers, olives and soya balls

Pros: Delicious, Generous serving, Great environment
