Best Vegan Pizza I Have Ever Eat - Edit
At the beginning I was a little bit skeptical of eating vegan pizza. I’ve tried it in Italy and it was not great. But this place is perfect, you can’t taste the difference between a vegan and non vegan pizza. Even the aesthetic is the same. The only not awesome thing is the price, a little bit expensive in my opinion, but maybe for the UK the prices are normal.

Really good pizza - Edit
The pizza here is really good and they have a good range of topping options. The space feels nice but casual and the staff are friendly. It’s not cheap but it’s not properly expensive either.

Excellent - Edit
Brilliant pizza, interesting topping choices, nice place to sit. I don't rate the gluten free lasagne but it's fine and good that there's options for gluten free vegans. If you can eat gluten though I'd stick to the pizza

Favourite vegan pizza - Edit
This place serves THE BEST vegan pizza. My favourite pizza place in Manchester. I've tried lots of other vegan offerings in chains and independents across the city, but Purezza really is a cut above the rest. Aside from having a fully vegan menu, with so much choice, there isn't any compromise of flavour or ingredients. Always a great time here

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere! - Edit
My friends and I ended up sharing multiple small portions, which was a brilliant way to taste lots of yummy things on the menu! The pizza, burger, Mac and cheese, tiramisu and cheesecake were all amazing.

Awesome Pizza - Edit
I've been to Purezza Brighton quite a few years ago and on a shopping trip to Manchester decided to visit Purezza and see if its as good.... It was better! Its great to be able to order anything off the menu, so we chose a Four Seasons and a Marinara pizza, truffle dip, lemon drop chilli dip and Cloudwater IPA's. The pizza were amazing, the dough was blooming fantastic, so light, doughy and pillowy, as light as a feather but with some bite... The best Marinara pizza I've eaten and I've eaten plenty, in Naples, Sorrento, other places in Italy and all over the UK.....So hats off to the chefs. We could not fault our visit, polished off every morsel and will definitely return to Manchester just so we can visit Purezza again.

Whether you're vegan or not, this pizza is excellent. The dough is fermented, light and airy and easy to digest. The toppings are great and there's plenty of great dairy free cheese.

Ordered takeaway and wish I ate in instead - Edit
It’s hard to give a proper review when you get takeaway as the drive from the city to where I was staying would have been a good 10 minutes and so the food probably didn’t taste as great as it could have. That being said, the pizza and Caesar salad was still delicious, albeit the pizza crust wasn’t as crunchy as I would have liked and the cheese wasn’t as stringy. Skip the cheesecake, the sauce on top tasted artificial and you can do better.

Visited with an omnivore friend in July, had previously been to the Camden branch so was expecting good things.

Loved the food & helpful service - Edit
Very attractive rustic venue in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter. It was great to visit a restaurant that is 100% vegan. We had the trio of small plates before 5pm & the quantity was enough whilst still leaving some room for a dessert. Food is of a high standard here. The sourdough bases & the cheeses they use are delicious Especially enjoyed the Black Truffle pizza and the Mac n Cheese. One of us was gluten-free & the service couldn't have been more helpful. Everything tasted freshly made. Disappointingly there were out of Caesar or any salad when we visited. Otherwise, it really was excellent.

Best pizza I’ve ever had - Edit
I’ve been to purezza so many times now and it never fails. They have the best vegan pizza selection for all kinds of pallets and also the cocktails are amazing!! Can’t recommend Purezza enough especially if like me you practically have lived off pizza your whole life even back to when I ate meat and was vegetarian.

Fantastic - Edit
I came here on my birthday because I wanted to invite two non-vegan friends for lunch and everyone loved it! They offer a "small plate menu" until 5pm where you can get 3 dishes for £18. We ordered 6 plates for the 3 of us and it was the perfect amount of food to get everyone full. My non vegan friends loved everything and were really impressed by the vegan cheese. 10/10 food.

Fantastic pizza - Edit
Lovely vegan food and the interior design is really cool! Reasonably priced (would recommend doing their lunch deal and getting three small pizzas). The pizzas are lovely and so are the starters and desserts. The tiramisu in particular is amazing. I chauve been here multiple times and it never disappoints. The vegan cheese they use is amazing! The pizza selection is large and there are some really interesting toppings/ combinations. Staff are always friendly!! 10/10 customer service
