The kitchen is 100% vegan, meaning no dairy ingredients are used or stored on premises. The 'mozzarella' referenced on the menu is explicitly a vegan version, as all dishes are made from vegan ingredients only.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

The venue offers a dedicated Gluten Free Menu (separate PDF linked from the menu page) and notes 'several of our dishes have gluten free versions available'. However, this is not a 100% gluten-free kitchen — regular (gluten-containing) pizzas and pastas are also prepared. No information is available about dedicated prep areas, separate fryers, or staff training for coeliac safety. Shared kitchen cross-contamination risk applies.
