[Review] Purezza in Brighton

Purezza is the first plant based pizzeria in UK so how could I not pay it a visit.
It is so successful that they have a second branch at Camden.

I was also attracted to Purezza because of their home made rice based mozzarella and other cheeses which they ferment themselves.

They offer a range of vegan sourdough pizzas, gluten free food, salad bowls, raw dishes, pasta and desserts.
I found out about Purezza on TV because they were the only restaurant to show how they make their vegan cheese while other restaurants keep it top secret.

When I got there, we were greeted by a member of staff who asked if it was our first time there as payment is by CARD only.

On the menu, there was mac and cheese, cheese platter as well as their signature pizzas on sourdough, Hemp flour base or gluten free.

As it was Christmas, there was a special menu with Pizza and Calzone.


Initially, I was going to order the cheese board which was cashew based cheese so that I could compare it with this other place I tried.
In the end, we chose the Festive pizza, Lasagna and the Mac and Cheese.

The first dish that came was the Mac and Cheese which was penne pasta in a cheesy sauce that was light topped with some crispy stuff which I didn't really like.

The Festive pizza was butternut squash sauce, mozzarella, porcini mushrooms, crumbled sausage and crunchy red cabbage.
It was stunning when it came especially the red cabbage.
The pizza was just as good as anticipated because the pizza base was soft and fluffy like naan you get in Hong Kong while the mozzarella was light and dreamy.
The only thing I didn't like was the butternut squash sauce which was sweet.

Last but not least was the Lasagna which was creamy bechamel style cheese and a tasty ragu mince.
Unfortunately, there was a strong taste of rosemary in it which we didn't quite agree with.
If it was basil, we might have liked it better.
