Purezza Brighton is a plant based Italian restaurant at 12 St James's Street in Kemptown. The Brighton branch is where the Purezza story began in 2015, and its relaxed dining room remains centred on making vegan pizza feel generous, inventive and broadly appealing.
Sourdough pizza leads the menu, with plant based cheeses, vegetables and bold sauces used across both familiar and more playful combinations. The approach draws on Italian technique while adapting every component to an entirely animal-free kitchen.
Small plates such as dough balls, seasonal sourdough and macaroni cheese extend the meal beyond pizza, alongside salads and changing specials. Lunch offers, desserts and a children's menu give the restaurant enough range for families, casual daytime visits and longer evening meals.
Drinks and cocktails complete the restaurant experience, and collection and delivery are also available. Although the menu provides dietary information, guests with allergies or intolerances should consult the latest guidance and speak to staff before ordering about ingredients and preparation.
Address: 12 St James's Street, Kemptown, Brighton BN2 1RE, England
