Purezza set to open another location

They just can’t slow down.

Only days after announcing their third location will be opening in Hove, superstar vegan pizza chain Purezza has announced ANOTHER location is on its way.

This time in Bristol.

Not long after tripling the size of their Camden branch to become the biggest vegan restaurant in the UK, Purezza will be opening at 79-81 Gloucester Road, Bristol which just happens to be the site of a former butcher before being taken over by Pigsty, a pork and BBQ restaurant.

They are reclaiming the space for the vegans!

The ethos and ingredients behind Purezza’s plant-based Neapolitan pizzas may be a far cry from the building’s previous occupants, but they are nonetheless loved by foodies globally, having won National Pizza of the Year in 2018 in the UK, Vegan Restaurant of the Year 2018, and being prize winners in the World Pizza Championships in 2019.


Purezza is known for crafting its own plant-based mozzarella, and a unique sourdough pizza base made with organic wholegrain flours. These are used in a range of pizzas from classics like the Margherita, to unique inventions like the Parmigiana Party which uses aubergine parmigiana and meat substitutes for its toppings.

The restaurant will also serve a full gluten-free menu, a large range of creative cocktails, and raw dishes including a raw pizza using a base made with seeds and nuts, and raw tiramisu made using finely blended cashew nuts. Food will also be available via local delivery services.

Vegan brioche buns in Waitrose

If you have been watching my daily Vegan Quarantine videos on Facebook, you might have heard me mention that I am helping superstar vegan food brand Make No Bones with a spot of promotion.

Make No Bones is a much-loved vegan restaurant in Sheffield, feeding fans for a number of years. Unfortunately, they have been experiencing some downtime during the global crisis but that doesn’t mean they have been out of action completely.

The restaurant recently teamed up with local Fletchers Bakery to design and produce their own vegan brioche bun.

The buns have been such a massive success already with runaway sales in Tesco stores around the UK. (Order online from Tesco)

With this initial success under their pleather belts, Make No Bones have now announced a collaboration with Waitrose supermarkets.

The Make No Bones vegan brioche buns are available in Waitrose stores around the UK as of Wednesday June 17, 2020.

I asked Waitrose how they felt about the launch and a spokesperson told me:

We are excited to be launching these delicious vegan alternative rolls. At Waitrose, our vegan options are extremely popular with all our customers, not just those following a vegan lifestyle, so we know our shoppers will love these. The rolls will be a great addition to our shelves this barbecue season and will pair perfectly with our fabulous selection of vegan patties and burgers.

I haven’t been into a Waitrose store in a while due to the fact that I have been out of the country, but I will certainly be making it one of my first stops upon my return. I’ve been told by a few friends that their vegan offerings are pretty impressive these days.

You can buy the Make No Bones brioche buns online from Waitrose and be sure to click here to see the full list of stores currently stocking the product.

Follow Make No Bones on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
