PIZZA EXPRESS
There’s no need to miss out on those fluffy dough balls – just swap the garlic butter (we say, drooling) for pestorissa – a harissa spiced tomato dip. Vegan pizzas include Leggera Vegan Giardiniera with artichoke, mushrooms and the new Vegan Puttanesca with jackfruit marinated in a traditional Puttanesca sauce of tomatoes, olives, capers, red onion, chilli, garlic & herbs! As for dessert… Dolcetti Carrot Cake anyone?

PIZZA PILGRIMS
The Marinara has no cheese at all… just a simple combination of tomato sauce, olive oil, garlic, basil and oregano. As such – it is 100% vegan (and low on calories for people who care about such things). “Who wants a pizza with no cheese?” right? But honestly, once you have tried it you won’t even notice. Sometimes less is more.
