Small selection of good pizzas - Edit
I had the Al Fresco pizza and it was very tasty with a very nice base. Decent urban environment, feels edge but not too edgy.

Loved their pizza - Edit
I always choose the al fresco vegan pizza and the flavours are amazing. I hope they don't remove it from the menu. I really like the stracciatella style cheese they use compared to the usual vegan cheeses available.

Al fresco pizza is yummy - Edit
While there are only 2 vegan pizzas available at time of writing: the Marinara and the Al fresco, the Al fresco is worth a taste. Delicious pizza with a soft vegan cheese, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and a wonderful base. The waitress was knowledgeable about veganism and suggested some Amends we could make to the days special. She also said at the end that she would talk to the chef about further vegan options. Currently there don’t seem to be vegan desert options here
Read morePros: Very helpful staff , Super tasty pizza, Cool vibe
Cons: No vegan desert options

Varied experiences, limited vegan options - Edit
Usually just the one pizza (or a plain marinara base pizza) available. The Al Fresco vegan pizza is delicious, and much better than some of the previous vegan options here. The base was very soggy, and needed to be eaten with cutlery. Tasty though! We've had really varied experiences here, some delicious and others disappointing. Needs more consistently good vegan options.

Great jackfruit pizza - Edit
Great pizza, really good dough. Two vegan options on the menu but they said they're happy to adapt others. Nice staff and a cool setting!

Great pizza - Edit
This is a highly popular pizzeria in the centre of town. There are 2 vegan pizza choices which change from time to time. One is usually adventurous, the other, the Marinara is a bit plain and boring. The dough is fabulous and the toppings are generous and of great quality.
Read moreThe atmosphere is relaxed and the staff are pleasant. Just one thing...I wish they still sold the previous vegan options in addition to their latest ones or offer to veganise some of the others. For example, couldn't they swap out the dairy for vegan cheese on some of the vegetarian options?
I suppose they don't feel they need to at the moment. Hopefully that will change over time.

Nice little Pizzeria - Edit
I had heard good things about Dough & Oil having some vegan options. We started over the road at Oil for a few cocktails which were lovely.
Read moreThe pizza was obviously very well made, with a lovely crisp base and great toppings, especially the Stracciatella which I haven't had before . I will say there could be more of a vegan selection, Or perhaps offer a simple base and then choose from a list of vegan toppings to make it more appealing to visit more frequently
Pros: lovely base, nice homely feel to the restaurant
Cons: Not a vegan only restaurant, serves meat, not much of a selection for vegans

Decent pizza, few options - Edit
The vegan Al Fresco pizza. Which I, ironically, ate inside 🤷♂️ Washed down with some ginger beer.
Read moreGotta hand it to them, the pizza was lovely. Balanced flavours and nicely spicy. Although I’m rather unimpressed by the tendency of places to make you pour your own drinks…
The decor - a combination of diner style booths enclosed by welded metal and herras fencing - felt quite oppressive. Like being a caged animal.
The service was friendly and efficient. But the menu is extremely limited for vegans.
Pros: Lovely tasting pizza with a crispy base, Friendly service
Cons: Oppressive decor, Lack of options, Have to put your own drinks

Wish there were more options - Edit
I thought this restaurant was nice but it was a shame there weren’t more vegan options. I wish there was a vegan bruschetta.

Pros: Nice atmosphere and vibe , Tasty pizza
Cons: Not enough vegan options

Amazing vegan pizza - Edit
The Jacko pizza (with garlic butter and jackfruit) is truly amazing, would highly recommend it. Friendly, attentive staff, but a bit of confusion about whether sides/milkshakes could be veganised. Ended up with the house salad without cheese, but padron peppers and milkshakes were not possible in the end.
Read morePros: Super tasty vegan option, Friendly staff
Cons: Salad without cheese still the same price as with

Vegan pizza - Edit
Only 2 options for vegan pizza- but the jackfruit one is actually amazing. The base is to die for and the toppings are so delicious, I love the lime crema. Prices, staff and atmosphere are all wonderful
