Can you tell me how you know the garlic sauce is vegan? All vegans seem to be mad for it but on their allergen info (PDF download) it clearly states that it’s not vegan and contains egg. So I’m confused…
Their Garlic & Herb dip is the one that contains egg. They state their Special Garlic dip isn’t vegan but it is, just with an allergen warning in case of cross contamination.
If they’re so vegan friendly, why can’t they use vegan cheese instead of nothing at all?
I know, I wish they did 🙁 The first pizza take out to do it will sell so many pizzas, not just to vegans, but all the lactose intolerant people too! We can keep asking, and soon they might listen?
Village pizza have a small range of vegan pizzas with vegan cheese and some vegan mock meat subtitutes.
Wow, where is that? I need to try them 🙂
My nearest branch is Twickenham, also one in Epsom.. you can check villagepizzauk.com
For the vegan pizza list they have in the vegetable pizza section and for the nearest location to your area.
Pizza Express and Pizza Huts now started doing vegan pizza, using violife. I just they all start doing it.
This dough is NOT vegan
Yes, I phoned today and they also told me their bases are not suitable, because of ingredients as well as cross contamination risk.
Hi guys, I can confirm their bases ARE vegan, but they warn of the risk of cross contamination due to the shop making cheesy pizzas in the same area, they cannot guarantee that cheese might not come in contact with your vegan pizza – but you are safe 🙂
Not true, the regular dough is vegan, the pan dough is not. https://www.papajohns.co.uk/pdfs/nutritional-information.pdf
I had to have a refund because they told the wrong dough to my mum and they told me that they add milk to all dough just to let you all know
Forget talking to idiots in the store, milk is not added to all the bases.
The pan bases are cooked with butter flavour oil, and are not suitable for vegans. The regular dough IS suitable for vegans. You can find this out simply by looking at the allergen list.
The special garlic dip is also suitable for vegans.

Ian you gave us a link to their allergen info which literally states every single pizza contains milk!?
Hi Sophie, you had me worried there, but I have checked and the dough for the normal bases is still vegan, and you just have to build your own pizza. The link that Ian and I have linked to has the ‘built’ pizzas at the top, and because they all have cheese on by default, this is why it says they have milk in them. If you go towards the bottom there is an ingredients list, which shows which ingredients are vegan, which includes the dough, and all the veggies to put on top 🙂
Not any base unfortunately, the pan dough is fried in butter according to their website allergen info. It’s listed on the last page:

Unfortunately they no longer do cinnamon knots, they now do cinnamon pull aparts which are not vegan 🙁
pizzas are still nice though 🙂
Thanks for this little guide, its very helpful!
Maybe consider doing one for ordering Pizza Hut?
Thanks
