Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 The Vegan London site gives the following information: Pizza Restaurants - Warning! Many vegans wrongly assume that pizza without cheese is vegan. In many pizza restaurants in the UK (including the Pizza Hut chain) the pizza base, as well as the sauce, contains dairy products and possibly other animal derived ingredients. However Pizza Express have written to us to confirm that that their pizza bases, dough balls, bruschetta and garlic breads are all suitable for vegans, as is their tomato base which is simply fresh tomatoes, salt, pepper and fresh basil. They state it is important for you to mention how strict your diet is to the manager on duty, so as the chef can implement all necessary procedures to avoid cross contamination. Also Ask Restaurants (ASK and Zizzi) have confirmed that that their Margharita, Mushroom, and Vegetariana pizzas (ordered without cheese, of course!) are suitable for vegans, as well as some of their pasta dishes and starters.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Yes, you do have to be very careful for hidden ingredients everywhere you go but it is surprising how quickly you get to know where you can and where you cannot get a good vegan meal (pizza - Matthew Faupel Tuesday, May 08, 2007 9:48 PM Re: Vegan melting cheese / Non-vegan pizzas The Vegan London site gives the following information: Pizza Restaurants - Warning!
