Pixi by Petra - Vegan Items

UPDATED JUNE 2017: I was in M&S recently and saw they are now selling Pixi makeup. I knew the brand was cruelty free and had some vegan options. I've been using their peach undereye corrector for years and I love it!

Anyway, when looking at the products in store, there were very few recognisable animal products listed, so I thought I'd write to them for a full list of their vegan options.

And here is their response in full (I've pasted exactly what they wrote but changed the layout a bit to make it read easier ;o) ).

Thank you for reaching out. We are very proud to be a cruelty-free brand, though we do not claim to be a vegan or gluten-free brand.

Our current line up of products free of animal-derived ingredients include:

Zizzi's Vegan Menu

Zizzi's launched a vegan menu! It's an Italian restaurant so you can probably guess the type of things that are on it. But on the plus side, they have vegan cheese! Which means cheesy pizza, YAY!

So obviously I had to try it out, after every vegan on facebook went and posted pics.

I started with the bruschetta, because I LOVE bruschetta and have been fancying it for ages lately. However, this was not bruschetta as I know it. It was like pizza dough with cooked cherry tomatoes on. Not horrible, quite tasty in fact. But not bruschetta and didn't really float my boat.

For the main I had a pizza. It's a margherita and then you add whatever toppings you want onto it. I added balsamic onions, mushrooms and artichokes. It was lovely. The cheese isn't stretchy and it's not gummy like some vegan cheeses. Melted, it's more like a white sauce. It's different and some won't like it but I do - it makes a nice saucy pizza. 

They do dessert too, but I was too full! Fail, Sal!

The waiter told me that about 8 people had asked for the vegan pizza that week. I told him that it was awesome that they'd done a vegan menu and that Pizza Express don't provide vegan cheese! hahaha.

I think it's great that more chain restaurants are starting to realise there's a market for vegans now! I have of course added this info (and a pic of the whole vegan menu) to my Chain Restaurant Options page, hop over there if you wanna have a look.

Hope you're all having an ace week.
