Always happy to help

Updated Nov 2025 : Been here now twice since new ownership. Menu seems to be adaptable but you have to ask. Vegan cheese can be swapped for extra money 😡 onto and vegetarian pizza. Some of the starters e.g. chili bread must be vegan and so the menu could do with better thought/ labelling. Otherwise food is good.

We have been going here for a few years now. We used to order pizza without cheese but one day they realised, and said, “we have vegan cheese” and brought it to the table to show us! They now have some special vegan options on the menu (menu constantly changes). Pizza bases lovely and nice to see the oven / flames. Busy place, does lots of takeaway too.

vegan options decreased

Updated June 2023: new management, new menu. There are four vegetarian pizzas that can be made with vegan cheese but there’s no plant-based meat any more or vegan garlic dip or dessert

Delicious pizza with plenty of vegan options. There’s often a vegan option on the specials and about half the menu can be made vegan with non dairy cheeses and plant based meats.

Yummy

Any dish can be made vegan with meat alternatives (Tempe and nduja alt.) and v cheese.
They also had a delicious vegan special with local, in season ingredients and a vegan blue cheese.

We shared the vegan special and the capsicum/ artichoke pizzas. Both delicious. The dough is gorgeous and do a gf alt.

Pros: Delicious dough, Great service

Cons: Small , Need to book , Fairly pricey but not bad
