In 2015 Purezza launched Europe’s first 100% vegan pizzeria – to show just how tasty plant-based Italian food can be.
We had a problem though… The vegan cheese on the market was letting us down.
So we decided to develop our own.
Over the last 8 years we’ve worked tirelessly perfecting a range of vegan cheeses which Italians would be proud of. Giving the taste, texture and melt of dairy mozzarella – but made from plants.
Our aquafaba based ‘Mozzella’ and ‘Stracciazza’ have been enjoyed on over 1 million pizzas, and served to thousands of customers up and down the country.
Our cheeses are now being used by fantastic customers including Soho House, Everyman Cinema’s and many more.
Our Mozzella is an alternative to traditional mozzarella, available in block form or grated
This can but cut into rounds, Napoli style, strips or however you choose.
Designed to work in pizza ovens – simply top as you would traditional mozzarella and enjoy!
100% Allergen free, our aquafaba based Stracciazza tastes as creamy and delicious as traditional stracciatella.
This was created to finish off pizza with a creamy delicious texture to rival burrata.
However it also works cooked – so try it both ways and see which you prefer!
A pea protein, 100% allergen free pepperoni with all the same taste, texture, bite and enjoyment!
We’ll be showcasing this at the Pizza Awards so come along to our stand and give it a try – if you want samples let us know!
Purezza was founded in 2015 by Stefania Evangelisti and Tim Barclay, who shared a passion for delicious, plant-based food. Stefania and Tim started the restaurant with a mission to create a vegan menu that would appeal to everyone, regardless of their dietary choices. Since then we’ve opened Restaurants in three Cities and have scaled up our production of vegan cheeses.
