Tomato & Basil Pizzeria
Gloucester Road pizzeria typed as vegan/vegetarian, but reviews describe dairy cheeses (goat, halloumi) and a pepperoni option — so it reads as a mixed/omnivore Italian with plant-based options, not a dedicated vegan kitchen. Good-value wood-oven pizza in a cosy room, though some starters and consistency draw criticism.
Why it's listed: typed vegan_restaurant + vegetarian_restaurant pizzeria; no meat in reviews, notable plant-based pizza
