PIZZA / PASTA RESTAURANTS
Many vegans wrongly assume that all pizza without cheese is vegan. In some pizza restaurants in the UK the pizza base or the tomato sauce contain dairy or other animal-derived ingredients. Also, pasta dishes are often made using egg pasta!
However some pizza restaurants and take-aways are now offering vegan cheese. Always double check that you are ordering a pizza with vegan cheese and no dairy. If need be tell the proprietor you have an allergy to dairy.
Here's a list of vegan and vegan-friendly pizza restaurants in London:

Pizza Express state it is important for you to mention how strict your diet is to the manager on duty, so as the chef can implement all necessary procedures to avoid cross contamination. On request their dough balls, bruschetta and garlic bread can be made without dairy, substituting olive oil instead.
