The Cheese Cellar at Purezza Is Serving Underground
Tucked away underneath one of London’s best-loved vegan restaurants is a treasure trove of dairy-free decadence that deserves a bit more noise made about it.
Yes, I’m talking about The Cheese Cellar, the underground delight hidden beneath Purezza in Camden. You might know Purezza for their game-changing pizzas, but if you haven’t ventured down the stairs and into their cheese-filled secret spot, let this be your polite-but-firm nudge.
