    Amazing 100% plant-based pizzeria. We had the pesto-based pizza and the tomato-based aubergine parmigiana pizza and both were amazing. Sides really good too! Great fast service as well. 100% recommended!

    Very delicious Pizza. They offer a lot of different options and even a sweet pizza as a desert. The location is very central next to a lot of different shops and you can reach it very good with public transport. The prices are fair and the atmosphere is amazing as well. The waiters are nice and quickly there for you.

    We had a lovely meal here upon a recommendation from my mum who is vegan. The whole menu is plant based. We arrived at about 5pm prior to it getting quite busy. Two of us had pizza's which were super yummy. The bases are really very tasty and you have options to make them from alternative ingredients - hemp and freedom bases were on offer for a few pounds more but we were happy to just have the wholemeal. One of our group had 'the one with pesto' and another 'the seasonal one'. I opted for something different the 'pure bowl' a salad type gorgeous mix of lentils, buckwheat, kale, courgettes, sun soaked tomatoes and crispy corn. We shared a chocolate pizza between the 3 of us for dessert - which was a good size and about right amount after our meal. Everyone's food was delicious and staff attentive. Will definitely be back.

    I've been to Purezza in London as well as Brighton and they're both absolutely brilliant. The food is great value for money and one of the best vegan pizzas I've eaten in Europe. Their dough balls are gooey and their home made lemonade is refreshing!

    We arrived earlier than reservation and were accommodated. We also asked to move tables so we had more space for our baby and this was no issue. Henry was on his first day there but this was not noticeable if he hadn't told us. He was professional and polite throughout and really looked after us. Pizza was delicious as always. Cocktails also tasty. Love this place!

    Absolutely delicious vegan pizzas. The service is friendly, the venue is bright, airy and cheerful. Food prices are very reasonable for what you get, drink prices are about average. Would definitely go again!

    Amazing pizza! The base, the cheese, the toppings, just divine! I had the four cheese which came with delicious melted cheeses, my favourite was the tangy blue, and ‘bacon’ and smoked chilli jelly drizzled over. The dough was perfect too. I enjoyed every mouthful and really didn’t think I’d be able to finish it but I was determined not to leave any! I had no room left for dessert, but took away a cheesecake which was also delicious. Great service and atmosphere.

    This is a vegan pizzaria. I was pleasantly surprised of that when I decided to stop by on a whim on my way to the beach. The pizza dough is amazing, the drinks are delicious, and the service is great, and atmosphere of the place is very local. This place is located one street over from the beach.

    3rd time here and it never disappoints. Incredible vegan pizza. Everything from the base, toppings and cheese is just world class. There is no better vegan pizza then this. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming too. We can't wait to come again.

    This is a beloved place among foodies- I arrived quite late and people were still coming in and talking about how much they wanted to fit in a pizza before closing! It's a popular eatery, and I can understand why. My pizza was unique and of brilliant quality. The staff here are awesome people, as a solo traveller it's great to be surrounded by friendly people. Service is quick and prices are fair. I would greatly recommend this restaurant.

    I loved this vegan pizzeria, very very good. As an Italian, I have to say, great sourdough base and quality ingredients. Service is impeccable as well, one of the server gave me double gelato and a smile (it was a tiny mistake in the order that they resolved brilliantly) and Ilaria, another waitress, made us feel right at home. I will def go back!

    We've been here several times over the years and have had always a great experience. We had the Four Cheese pizza, potatoes and Mac n cheese and cheesecake. All of it was really tasty! Especially liked the combo of (fake) camembert, sweet chilli jam and facon. Very attentive service by Bonnie!

  • 5/5 Leah M. 6 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Loved it! Theo was really attentive and brought our food quickly and with a smile. Really tasty and great portion sizes. The mac and cheese was great especially and the sweet spicy pepperoni was so delicious. Great cocktails too and a sliver of a view of the sea.

  • 4/5 Mii N. 8 months ago on Google
    Vegan and Gluten Free options. Highlight was that we could have our puppy with us inside sat on a chair by the window. There is a dog menu as well, though our pup didn't really like anything ordered. Yummy pizza and macaroni. We had Four Cheese and New BBQ Bourbon. Walked to from Queens Hotel. Short walk. Downside, the sever kept leaning over us without warning to clear up. Not very relaxing.

  • 5/5 Nathaniel L. 11 months ago on Google
    This vegan pizza is very good! Coming from a month in Italy where I ate a ton of pizza, I can say this pizza is up there with the best ones I had in Italy! The pizza types are unique and creative. The pepperoni, jalapeños and agave one was amazing! Also the four seasons pizza was great. The shop is also very comfortable and enjoyable.

  • 4/5 E 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing food! I got the four cheese pizza and my goodness it was amazing! The flavours were all so good and there was a really good selection of wines. Staff were lovely but service could be improved as we did as for water 4x before it arrived. Lovely place would recommend for a good vegan pizza and to introduce your non vegan friends to amazing vegan food!

  • 5/5 Laura B. 4 months ago on Google
    Really kind and lovely :) the pear pizza was DELIGHTful. My meat eating partner absolutely loved the pizza and said it was unreal. He didn’t even realise it was all vegan 😅 Theo was sooo kind and helpful and attentive and their recommendations were very good! The pesto dip is unreal. Thank you theo for making our date night on our holiday so special :) x also they’re soooo dog friendly. And really made out little princess dog feel so welcome and comfortable thank you x

    Always a favourite of ours, the best vegan pizza in Brighton!! & lush cocktails too! Martin served tonight & he was great!! Really quick and helpful with my allergies! Cannot recommend enough :)

  • 5/5 Rahul Y. 7 months ago on Google
    Loved the Pizza, come here for Awesome smoothies and Tiramisu - Anna is excellent, she is very friendly we enjoyed every bit.

  • 5/5 Tessa B. 9 months ago on Google
    It was my first time visiting Purezza and I'll definitely be back! Since one of my friends is vegan we decided to try it out... and honestly, we were so pleasantly surprised at how creamy and delicious the vegan cheeses were! Absolute star of the show was the pizzas of course — we went for the 'Four Cheese' & the 'Pear & Blue' which were so yummy, from the delicious chewy and bouncy crust to the dreamy melty toppings (pear and cinnamon... who knew!) Also the Lemon Drop Chilli Jam, oh my gosh! The flavours were so unique and delicious! We were also really impressed with the 2 for £12 cocktails deal — that's unheard of these days. Unfortunately we were too full for dessert, but it's definitely a great excuse to visit again and try the cheesecake! See you soon :)

    Wonderful pizza and mac and cheese at reasonable prices! Kamila was super nice! The gluten free pizza is incredible, one of the best I’ve ever had. Small improvement area: the restaurant could use a bit more ventilation as there is a lot of cooking smell.

  • 5/5 Cindy M. 11 months ago on Google
    Incredible food and drinks! Best vegan pizzas I’ve had, and the NY cheesecake was a dream come true!!! The servers were a tiny bit overwhelmed with all the online orders to pack while also serving the room, but they were kind, attentive and sweet, especially Henry! ***** EDIT - To add that I simply had to squeeze in another slice of cheesecake before leaving Brighton. Went back today. Also tried the butterfly latte and it was incredible! Our server today was Marcin, sweet guy!

  • 5/5 Charlotte P. 9 months ago on Google
    Was a delicious and unique pizza I had here, and my girlfriend enjoyed her meatballs, potatoes and garlic bread very much too. Great service and a very cute and cosy place! ❤️

  • 5/5 Vickie H. 1 year ago on Google
    Had the light bites menu, available before 5pm. Great choice. All vegan 😍 Had pepperoni pizza, pulled pork ciabatta and meatballs. 3 for £18. For dessert, vanilla cheesecake and salted caramel brownie with ice cream. All amazing. Wish we had one nearer.

  • 4/5 Ana H. 2 years ago on Google
    Having been to the branches in Camden and in Hove, I already am a big fan of Purezza. Every pizza I’ve had has been consistently great, unique and delicious. This time, I tried their new carbonara pizza which was really interesting - it was surprisingly creamy! Their meatball pizza was also very classic and tasted great - I love the vegan mozzarella they make. Service was great, only thing was that I found the restaurant a little cramped - it’s much smaller than their restaurant in Hove.

  • 4/5 Blandine 2 years ago on Google
    Busy place but friendly staff, and the food is really nice. I particularly like having 3 options for the pizza dough, and it is good overall. The pizzas look great and are tasty. What I like the most is the 100% vegan, a première for me at a pizzeria.

  • 5/5 K S. 2 years ago on Google
    Went here for boyfriends birthday and was amazing. Quick hot vegan food. Got the mac and cheese, dough balls (which were filled with cheese!!). Tasty pizzas, which an amazing tomato sauce and a great selection of toppings. Cocktails were fantatsic too.

  • 4/5 Charlie F. 2 years ago on Google
    Pizzas were fresh, hot, nice and tasty. Base of the Meet Feast was a little too thin, made eating it a bit difficult. Overall a nice meal. Could also do with some signage that it is a vegan restaurant.

  • 5/5 Leanna J. 2 years ago on Google
    If I could rate this place any higher I honestly would! It had been quite a few years since I had one of their pizzas and I was worried that it wouldn't live up to my memory but oh wow it did. The pizzas are so delicious as are the smoothies and sides. A vegans pizza paradise.

  • 5/5 Ali 2 years ago on Google
    Best vegan pizza you can get. The wine options and cocktails are really lovely as well. Staff polite and helpful even though it was super busy.

  • 5/5 Gary H. 2 years ago on Google
    Omfg amazing food. Staff and ambience.. Love it

  • 3/5 Ari l. 2 years ago on Google
    The pizza dough was impressive, the mozzarella for being vegan was not bad. I really like the site and the location. However, I did not like the attention of the staff. They were cordial but not enthusiastic and unwilling to work. They did not explain anything to me but luckily I had already done my research before. For me one of the most important things is customer service and I think they have to improve.

  • 5/5 Jaraspon R. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best pizza in town whether you are vegan or not. Their homemade dough taste really good. You can sense deep fermentation, it’s crispy outside and soft chewy inside. Cheesy menus baked from the oven is also yummy.

  • 5/5 Pavel J. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely and attentive staff, great atmosphere, and the pizzas are so delicious, and what a variety of plant based dishes. I had the pizza carbonara which was just so rich and tasty. Although an Italian would probably have a minor fit if seeing this, haha.

  • 3/5 Katie F. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere, decent pizza. The mozzarella cheese was to jelly like for me and so I couldn't eat it and a lot of the cheeses were out, so we had to deal with replacements. We probably went too late. Staff were very lovely and helpful, which made it a pleasurable experience.

  • 5/5 Rosie B. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a lovely meal here, perfect for gluten free vegans. I really loved the corgetti spaghetti too. The service was wonderful, can't wait to go again!

  • 5/5 Narcisa 2 years ago on Google
    Love the atmosphere and the staff was very friendly. The Margherita pizza was absolutely delicious and very authentic to what you find in Italy. The pepperoni one was maybe a bit too loaded and a bit oily, but that wasn't a big issue. They also have a cute dog menu which I think was very sweet.

  • 5/5 Billy F. 1 year ago on Google
    Booked a table after a quick search of vegan friendly options in the area, was extremely happy with our choice. Ordered the pesto pizza and the BBQ porketta pizza with Gaelic dip, fried corn nibbles for the table and finished off with the cheesecake and brownie for dessert. Everything was absolutely incredible, food arrived at the table quickly and everything just felt high quality and authentic. My girlfriend is not vegan, and she loved everything put in front of her, including a taste of mine and although she was too full to finish the last couple slices, she got it boxed up to take home to enjoy later in the evening. Would 100% come again next time we're in Brighton, would fully recommend for any vegan pizza lovers.

  • 5/5 Luigi S. 1 year ago on Google
    Me and my partner went for a two day trip in Brighton and we casually bumped into this beautiful restaurant. We’ve been served by Fred and Sophie, very lovely people who made us feel home. We never tried fully vegan pizza and we have to admit it was an incredible experience. The taste was so good and the pizza dough well cooked, fresh and authentic! Definitely will go back when we’re visiting Brighton again! Good luck guys!

  • 5/5 Ryan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Both Brighton and Hove venues are lovely restaurants in every way. Fantastic variety of the menu and very tasty, authentic specials . The House White was a welcomed surprise and the staff are always attentive and very good at their job. My only qualm is the £2 "Freedom" charge. If you're Gluten Free, be prepared to pay an extra (roughly) 20%. This isn't a charge with which I particularly agree. Gluten Free produce is traditionally more expensive, but it doesn't justify the disproportionate charge.

    Had a really lovely meal. Did the 3 for £18 and it did the 2 of us. Andy served us and was attentive without being intrusive. We’re so happy to support vegan places where we can. Even if you’re not vegan the food was fabulous. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Rachel B. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    I came here with my friend and was served by Anna and Bonnie (who were amazing). Even on a busy Friday evening we had fantastic service. The only downfall would be that the infamous cheese filled dough balls are no more. What a disaster! Please bring them back. I was really looking forward to having them after so long. I would have them every time I would visit Brighton. The previous dough balls were perfect - I know I am not alone in this opinion. A hard to come by vegan take, once done incredibly right.
