Purezza

Are you interested in vegan cheese? Enter Purezza (Italian meaning 'purity') in Camden. Its plant-based pizzas are delicious, with toppings ranging from smoked tofu to beetroot carpaccio. It's a contemporary, casual room with a distinct bustle; the absence of meat and dairy doesn't appear to have discouraged customers. And it's no surprise. For example, the bread balls were delectable tiny spheres dripping with Purezza's convincing alternative—and then there was the amazing mac 'n' cheese, which generated the same mix of delight, guilt, and perspiration as the genuine kind.

By contrast, the Neapolitan-styled pizzas were relative "light," thanks to fluffy, bubbly, chewy sourdough bases (or a hemp version with a nutty earthiness). Toppings showcased creative vegetable combinations, with a few cheese-style and meatier leanings, but things never got too stodgy. Take the Parmigiana Party, topped with rich aubergine pieces and lightly smoked mozzarella (made from fermented brown rice milk), a sprinkling of nutritional yeast adds a moreish, salty hit. The only negative was the tofu sausage, or rather the lack of it.

Sometimes, though, you just have to say: "To hell with it, I’m getting the Oreo Pizza." What appeared to have four on top, plus something approaching Nutella and something else approaching mascarpone, but really, it all just blended into one sweet, gooey mess. 'Purity’, it seems, doesn’t have to exclude good old-fashioned gluttony. Restaurant-quality pizzas are delivered to your door – all they need is a few minutes in the oven at home and they're good to go. Purezza is said to be one of the best pizza takeaways for delivery in London.
