Purezza Manchester — Restaurant in Manchester

(Visited Aug 2025)

I came here with a couple of friends to make the most of a First Table offer: £6 between us to get 50% off full size pizzas. I chose the Four Cheese with a side of Meatballs: very filling!

My go-to place for plant-based pizza: this time around, I went for the Four Seasons (I think!)

15% student discount even on a Friday was a nice bonus.

Our server- Knushi- offered warm service.

I found Purezza on First Table and so booked a table for two. We got 50% off full-size pizzas- a fantastic discount!

My choice was the BBQ Bourbon: delectable! It only seemed right to finish with a brownie (pictured) which made for a pleasing, chocolatey treat.

The ambience of the restaurant was cosy and romantic, with plenty of greenery. Our server was particularly friendly and supportive in all of our culinary choices.

We came here based on a recommendation as one of our party is vegan- after looking at the menu though, I was excited to visit!

I went for The One With The Truffle (NB: I think ‘Friends’ is one of the lamest, most dated shows ever, so the titles of the pizzas get a no from me): other than the mozzarella alternative, it was hard to tell it was a plant-based meal. I enjoyed the pulled porketta but wished there was a bit more given it was the most expensive pizza. Everyone else rated theirs too- my friend described The One That’s Telling Porkies as ‘very delicious’. It’s just a shame they had run out of Courgetti Spaghetti as our vegan pal decided on that long before we came!

I was going to get some gelato, but the flavours persuaded me otherwise. The restaurant interior has a pleasant, rustic sort of feel to it, and service was good.

As a meat-lover, I wouldn’t insist on coming here again, but there are definitely one or two other flavours I’d like to try if...

Went there for a late lunch with my mother on the 7/10, around 16:40.. Ordered a black truffle pizza and, as my mom was craving so badly a pesto pizza, I suggested her to order the one they do there as I really liked it in the past. It's been a couple of years since the last time I went there...and to be fair it has changed, and not for the better I would say unfortunately.

Firstly, in this place usually you were able to, literally and according to their online menu, to "choose from the following bases:

Original Sourdough Wholegrain Base Freedom Base (GF and Coeliac Friendly)"

We were not given that chance but still, as we were bound to choose the standard one that was not an issue at all. While the black truffle pizza was not bad at all...I couldnt believe the pesto pizza they are serving now. The one they used to do 2 years ago had cheese, plenty of pesto, tomatoes, mushrooms....it was quite brilliant and gave a good impression of the place. Now they serve one shame of a pesto pizza which basically is a tomato base with tiny, a few drops of cheese and pesto. I was so embarrased and ashamed of recommending this place to my mom, to me fair it feels like its going downhill so badly by cutting corners wherever, whenever they can. Apart from that, our meal wasnt cheap at all (42 pounds for 2 pizzas + a pint) which is not a good deal at all. Honestly if things doesnt change over there I'm not likely to come back.

I didnt take any picture because, to be fair, Im not that kind of annoying people who take pics of their food rather than eating it or whatever buuuut, if you do a bit of a research on the internet, you will manage to find out the difference between the...

I'm vegan and can't eat gluten. Eating out is often very stressful. I've been wanting to go to Purezza for ages because I know they do good gf dough.

In 2018, I went to Purezza in Brighton and loved the food, I'd wanted to return a couple of weeks after that visit with one of my friends but didn't feel I could because the toilets (at that time, in that restaurant), were seriously dirty.

I tried to visit Manchester Purezza a couple of years ago when staying just outside the city but, at the time I wasn't able to drink alcohol and I don't like sweet drinks especially with food so I wanted water, but at the time they only served tap water. While I drink plenty of tap water at home and always have done, I'm very sensitive to changes in water hardness and couldn't have drank tap water when staying out of the city, so sadly had to leave at that time.

Last weekend I was in Manchester and determined to be able to visit Purezza. I'd been drinking wine all the week before in preparation for being unable to get bottled water, so much was my determination.

I think they do now serve bottled water but I wasn't letting all my prep go to waste so I had wine. Anyway, food!

I had the potatoes, which were fine, I had the pepperoni pizza which was the best pizza I've had in a restaurant for years and the brownie, which was fine but I'd have preferred a second pizza!

I'd prefer it if you could get sides as starters and if there was more gf pudding choice but I'll be back as soon as possible. I've already been looking at hotels near the Camden branch!

100% recommend and I plan on...
