Francesco Mancini’s - Edit
Now offering vegan cheese options for its sour dough pizzas this is a good choice of chain restaurant to keep everyone happy. The spicy vegan mince vegan pizza of the day with lashings of chilli and garlic oil was absolutely delicious. And yes I ate all my crusts but others didn’t.

Amazing service and very accommodating! - Edit
I had an amazing time here. 8 of us walked in on a busy Friday evening and the staff were just great, we were seated quickly and food arrived after not long at all. There were several vegan options, and staff were happy to make alterations to non-vegan foods for us too. We had brought a cake, and the waiter happily lit the candles and sang with us - even taking some photos. All in all a great experience, I wish I could give 5 stars! I will be back😄

Sourdough - Edit
Great pizza and delighted they had a vegan special
Read moreUttering squash with chillies have some real ying and yang flavours. Plenty of green on board and they did offer vegan cheese but why ruin a good pizza
Worth a visit, service was a bit all over the show but once ordered the food was quick.
Pros: Location, Sourdough
Cons: Meat

Vegan pizza available - Edit
Budget pizza chain with really tasty sourdough pizza.
Read moreThere are two vegan pizzas, the marinara which is just tomato, garlic, basil and oregano but is delicious. The also offer a vegan special of the day, which again was really good. They have vegan cheese but I prefer it without. This branch also have pilot blonde beer which is sfv. Their non-branded beer wasn't sfv. I didn't have wine so no idea about that!
Pros: Two vegan pizzas, Cheap
Cons: Can be quite busy

Yummy and reasonably priced vegan pizza - Edit
I tried the vegan special, which was only £7.25 and quite good value for money considering this is a proper sourdough pizza place. Yummy topping with hazelnuts and caramelised onions. There are vegan wines available but unfortunately not clearly marked on the wine list - you'll need to ask your server to find out which are suitable.
