Really nice

My second visit to zizzi's as they offer really good vegan options for myself as well as gluten free for my girlfriend. Most recently I had the meatless meatball calzone and it was incredible!

Really full of filling also, and brushed with garlic butter on the top. Also went for a portion of sweet potato fries to share which were very good.

The place is super nice, feels like you're eating somewhere really fancy but the price doesn't reflect this. It is quite expensive, however it is 100% worth the cost for the delicious food.

Service was fantastic, also the vegan options are clearly marked on the menu which makes ordering an ease. Some are available as vegetarian (with cow cheese) - so make sure you specify which one you are when ordering.

To top it off, they have coca cola available in glass bottles (everyone knows they taste better)

Pros: Very nice place , Service good , Vegan options clearly marked

Cons: Expensive - but you get what you pay for , Gets very busy at peak times, so book ahead

A really decent vegan pizza

We chose to eat at Pizzi as there was a vegan menu ( albeit a bit limited ). I never expect a great deal from a vegan pizza as they are usually quite dry. Both our pizza's were nice and the base especially was crispy and a lovely texture ( I suspect they added semolina to it ) . Probably would visit again.

Pros: Nice crispy base

Cons: Menu limited

keeps getting better

Zizzis now offer a few different options for vegan pizza and they are really delicious. The options for starters and desserts are fantastic too.

Tailor Made!

Frequenting numerous vegan groups on Facebook, I always hear how amazing Zizzi’s is, and finally I got the opportunity to visit one on a trip to Yorkshire. Despite its location being the centre of a retail park, this restaurant really feels like you’re going out somewhere fancy, the interior is spacious, modern, interesting, clean, and the atmosphere was lovely.

The waiter was incredibly helpful, and went out of his way to ensure all of our meals were catered to perfectly. My mum ordered the vegan Green Goddess salad, with the pesto separate; my partner ordered the vegan rustica pizza, with added spinach, and I went and veganised the skinny ‘Primavera’ pizza, substituting the non-vegan options for cruelty free versions. Our meals arrived promptly, and exactly as we ordered despite us all tweaking the usual menu items! (they also came designated with vegan stickers, of course we had to wear our little tokens for the rest of the meal with pride, hahaha).

All of our meals were wolfed down, they were absolutely sensational. (My omni dad said it was the best lasagne he’d ever had, but that wasn’t vegan/veggie) Lovely portion sizes too, thankfully leaving just enough room for my partner and I to share the legendary vegan dessert calzone! I tend to avoid sugars, but there was no way I could leave without a taste of this!
When we ordered the waiter was sorry to announce that at their branch they no longer had the vegan option, however, he made sure we could still enjoy our little vegan treat by substituting the non-vegan items in the dish, making our own tailor made treat!

On a side note, my partner and mum weren’t too impressed with the coffee, but we’re thankful there were options to have soya milk (in tiny UHT servings, with black coffee). Maybe soon Zizzi’s will be offering more vegan coffee options.

The whole experience was absolutely fantastic, we felt really cared for, and giving the waiter a big tip, he seemed really taken back; the staff are just genuinely good people there in our experience.
I would certainly be happy to visit again. I’d say it’s a safe bet for meals out with people mixed dietary requirements, and as it’s a chain restaurant, you can know what to expect.

[addition] - I'd happily leave 5* review, but as a HappyCow rule, restaurants that are only Veggie Friendly can only receive the highest of 4* ratings.

Pros: Enthusiastic and helpful staff, Clear and dedicated Vegan menus, Really tasty vegan meals!

Cons: Coffee options poor
