"I have visited numerous vegan groups on facebook, I always hear how amazing zizzi is, and finally I have the opportunity to visit one on a trip to yorkshire. Despite its location to be the center of a retail park, this restaurant really feels like you're going to be out somewhere that interieur is spacious, modern, interesting, clean and the atmosphere was beautiful. the waiter was incredibly helpful and went out of his way to ensure that all our meals were perfectly met. my mother ordered the vegan green goddess salat, separated with the pesto; my partner ordered the vegan rustica pizza, with added spinat, and I went and veganized the thin ‘primavera’ pizza that replaces the non-vegan options for cruel free versions. our meals arrived immediately, and just as we ordered despite all tweaking the usual menu items! (they also came with vegan stickers, of course we had to wear our little tokens for the rest of the meal with proud, hahahahahahaha). all our meals were arched, they were absolutely sensational. (my omni dad said it was the best lasagne he ever had, but that wasn't vegan/veggie) also beautiful portion sizes, thanks to enough space for my partner and I to share the legendary vegan dessert roller zone! I tend to avoid sugar, but there was no possibility that I could go without taste! when we ordered the waiter, it was so sorry to announce that they had no more vegan option in their filiale, but he made sure that we can still enjoy our little vegan tasty by replacing the non-vegan items in the plate, thereby treating our own cutter! on a page note were my partner and mama not too impressed by the coffee but we are grateful that it was so. Maybe soon Zizzi’s will offer more vegan coffee options. the whole experience was absolutely fantastic, we felt really interested, and give the waiter a big tip, he seemed really taken back; the personal is simply really good people there in our experience. I would like to visit again. I would say it is a safe bet for meals with men's mixed nutritional requirements, and since it is a chain restaurant, they can know what to expect. [additional] I would like to leave 5* review, but in the rule happycow restaurants that are only veggie friendly can only get the highest 4* reviews."

"Edit one year on. Sat eve, 8pm. Nearly empty restaurant. Last year gave 4 stars....this year struggled to give 2. So what was different? Staff: mostly ok. .just ok. If you are not ready to order then expect a long wait as they forget to return...both for ordering drinks and food. Had to locate someone. Not offered parmesan. Had to ask for pepper as well and waitress said i will try to find some then hunted round the other tables until she located one. Then- there seemed to be a volunteer working there- baggy grey t shirt and old jeans hanging halfway down his bottom.......but omg! Was he actually the manager? Complaints/comments not responded to except see below in food review. Food- just average. The cheese dip starter was just a cheese sauce- no better than I put on my homemade lasagne. Pasta with meatballs- husband struggled to find 3 meatballs. Crab canneloni- tasteless, pappy...ate only one. Courgette fritti...no courgette.....i did mention this and was told it 's hard to find ....so i picked up several random pieces of fried batter and none had courgette in . No feedback from kitchen or manager. On paying when asked if all ok i mentioned it again and they said oh that 's a shame. That was it!! Two good things- beer glass was chilled and the organic wine (i dont usually do organic) was super. Won 't be returning in a hurry. Food is great here. Service friendly. Doesn 't matter what they do to this space it never quite works.....noisy and unwelcoming- hard to hear eachother speak. Certainly not a cosy, couples type place. Prezzo across the road has nice booths but terrible food and service."
