A vegan diet doesn't always mean living off of fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds - there are so many options out there these days for people still looking for an exciting meal without having to eat meat or dairy.
Pizza is definitely a dish that has now been mastered by chefs offering a suitable plant-based alternative. Vegan cheese is now widely available in most restaurants and cafes meaning pizza lovers don't have to miss out on a proper pizza if you're looking to dine out or order a takeaway.
Bristol is in no short supply of vegan pizza restaurants and takeaways. Here are several restaurants that are either totally vegan or offer strong vegan options for pizza:
