Purezza will be opening in Bristol at 79-81 Gloucester Road in the site previously occupied by Pigsty, who have recently reopened their restaurant at Wapping Wharf for takeaway and have also opened a new stall within Bath Spa station.
Purezza co-founder and co-owner, Tim Barclay, said: “We absolutely adore Bristol. It is a fantastically diverse and welcoming city. We have been looking at opportunities to open here since Purezza began back in 2015.
“Having taken part in the wonderful Bristol Vegfest a couple of times, it was always an amazing experience and it made us eager to put some roots down.
“We’re thrilled that the time has finally come to open our doors and join the thriving restaurant community that exists here, whilst bringing our plant-based pizzas to the people of Gloucester Road and beyond.”
