Veganuary is back again, meaning there’s a whole host of new specials available in London. We’re talking about new pizzas, doughnuts and ramen. Dig in:
1. For a Collaboration: Yard Sale Pizza x Romesh Ranganathan
What: Cult neighbourhood pizza shop Yard Sale Pizza has partnered with TV funny man and comedian Romesh Ranganathan for an extra special pizza for Veganuary.

A portion of proceeds from all pizzas sold go towards Romesh’s chosen charity, CALM, who stand united against suicide and everyone struggling with life, by offering life-saving support and bringing people together across the country to reject living miserably.
