Pinocchios Wine & Pizza Bar
Vegan options are clearly labelled on the menu, including several pizzas made with Notzarella vegan cheese, pasta dishes, starters, and a vegan dessert. The wine list also marks which wines are vegan. Multiple HappyCow reviewers confirm a good number of vegan choices and helpful staff. The kitchen is shared, but the menu's clear labelling and staff knowledge make it a reliable choice for vegans.

Coeliac · Gluten-free
confidence 70% ·
Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.
Gluten-free pizza bases and pasta are available, and the kitchen uses a dedicated fryer for items like zucchini fries. Staff are reported to be knowledgeable about coeliac needs and use separate utensils and a separate prep area. However, the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing items, so the venue cannot guarantee 100% safety. A coeliac diner reported no reaction after eating here, but took Gluteguard as a precaution. The venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility.
