The staff are always chatty and pleasant, the service is speedy, they will order you a taxi ready for you when the order is complete and their delivery service is excellent. To top it off the food is always fresh and delicious. One of our takeaways of choice for any occasion in the borough.

I say the only half decent take-away pizza with a heavy heart because i'm a bit of a pizza addict. In my area there is a Dominos which whilst their pizzas are ok i prefer mine to not come with over an inch thich tide of tomato sauce on it. Everything else around here seems to be kebab houses that happen to do pizzaz. Jo Jo'z is different,it is a pizza place that happens to do kebabs..see the subtle difference? Anyhow we normally only order from here late on a Saturday/early on a sunday after drinking copious amounts of Bourbon. My particular favourite and what i ordered this evening is the garlic pizza bread with cheese and pepperoni. As i said they also do kebabs,a selection of pasta dishes,kids meals (but you wouldnt would you?) and various burgers...All in all i like Jo Jo'z they do exactly what it sayzzzzzz on their delivery Smart Cars.

They take food allergies very seriously and ensured that I knew was well informed of any potential allergens involved in their cooking processes. The pizzas were absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the Salsiccia and I ordered the Triple Pepperoni. The pizza's are big enough for two people to share, even though we each got our own. Our toddler came with us; however, they don't have a dedicated children's menu, and she really only likes plain cheese pizza from the U.S. So she only ate the one of the orders of salted crisps. But I was happy that they at least offer high chairs, which was much needed, especially since we sat outside which only has picnic table seatingl Overall, I would definitely recommend this place, you won't be disappointed!

Located in Manchester's city centre on Clarence Street, just off Princess Street and close to St…read moreAnne's Square, Croma is an "independent gourmet pizzeria", with a few branches around Greater Manchester, with this being their only city centre location. Having been impressed by their Prestwich branch, where I most recently awarded it a three-star rating (previously a four!), I decided to try this out after stumbling across Croma on UberEATS. Originally the app didn't allow me to specify gluten free - this is something which needs addressing however after a quick call with the store, the manager seemed friendly to assist and make sure my order was gluten-free and I could still get my food. The restaurant its self is an impressive old building, it is up a couple of steps to get in - which could be a problem for some. I ordered a Gluten Free Americana pizza, the pizza its-self was quite good quality, the passata was a little runny at times but overall the pizza was a decent pizza, especially for gluten-free, much beating most other takeaways I could have had including Domino. The overall prize was good too for delivery, my pizza came delivered the short half a mile journey to the Hilton Manchester Deansgate for £11, the delivery free was set by UberEATS and cost around £2.50 in that total. The pricing for eating in, however, is pretty much average, with it being a small restaurant they lack the offers which bigger chains do, meaning it could work out slightly more expensive than rivals, including (but not limited to) Bella, Pizza Express and Zizzi. The menu selection is pretty good too, if you like pizzas but maybe not so much for everything else. is this somewhere I'd order from or visit again? Yes, and it does definitely warrant a solid three-star rating, issues with pricing when dining inside, selection other than pizza including starters and sides, and the access issues mean I sadly don't feel I can go any higher than a score which would match Croma's other branch I've visited in Pretswich, of three-stars.

Trying to think how many fillings and combinations is like trying to calculate the amount of stars in the universe (1024 according to the all powerful google), but it's all a tad on the special side which is nice. So imagine replicating a ham sandwich for a Mediterranean tuna sandwich and your getting there. But all this specialness doesn't come cheap, with sandwiches beginning around the £4 mark it is maybe okay just for once or if your feeling crazy twice a week. Additionally there's not masses of seating which is a shame as the place is quite cosy. But on the whole, if your feeling classy head here.

If you're going to pick a sandwich chain, Philpotts is a great bet. They're based in Chester which in my book makes them entirely Mancunian... well not quite but they're at least Greater Mancunian, and it's a small chain. You sure as heck won't find one on every street corner, although you'll find five in Manchester. This Brazennose Street offering (remember how much I like Brazennose Street, remember, and not just because of its strange name) has everything you could want in store, from grab and go sandwiches to gourmet soups, cakes and puddings to piping hot coffee, and, well, wouldn't you know it, sandwiches made to order. Just exactly what you fancy. I find this confusing as I'm rubbish with a large variety of choice, but I know that you real proper people will find that just stunning. I myself prefer to take a template and add some of my own accessories. I need at least a base sandwich to start with. Just like with pizza. But the BF is the exact opposite and relishes in 'making his own', so this is perfect for those types. As you'd imagine the office crowd love this place at lunchtime so get there early to avoid disappointment. Plus there are all sorts of seasonal specials, with three exclusive offers to choose from each day. Philpotts also provide catering and business lunches with sandwich platters and made to order items. As chains go, this is certainly a superb choice. Praise be to Philpotts.

The…read morenight we visited here it was packed with happy diners which is quite understandable - the restaurant is lovely and the staff and atmosphere are quite welcoming. Tip: Despite the fact that the venue was fairly loud and noisy due to all the people present, the atmosphere was quite calm and relaxed. The staff didn't rush us and we enjoyed a fabulous, leisurely three-hour meal :-) Giovanni (who I think is the owner) went out of his way to make everyone there feel totally at ease and welcome; his aim seems to be to provide each and every guest with exceptional service, and he succeeds admirably! The general quality of the food was wonderful; all the ingredients were premium, and obviously chosen and prepared with loving care. Of everything we enjoyed that night, three things stand out most vividly in my mind - the sharing platter we started with, the house-made pasta dishes we shared for our entrées, and the desserts. It's VERY difficult to go wrong with anything on the menu here. Over and above the food, the wine list features several very interesting choices from various regions in Italy. Prices ranged from expensive to quite reasonable. In particular, I can personally vouch for one particularly massive Primitivo which weighed in with a 14.5% alcohol content which was simply devine! Bottom line: I highly recommend this place for a relaxed and delightful meal whenever you're in Manchester!

For mains I shared a risotto with cheese and barolo (red) wine. I haven't had much purple food in my life so that alone was quite exciting. It's a very rich dish and might be good to split and share rather than have to yourself. It's got a good strong flavour though, and is something a bit different. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

I can take or leave olives but these were so moreishly flavoured. The menu consists of the usual Italian segments. Meat, fish , pizzas and pasta. The Meat and fish were really pricey so for starters I opted for a antipasti without the bread for and a seafood risotto for mains. My friends ordered a garlic bread to share and pate while I scoffed the antipasti which consisted of various parmaham, artichoke, prawn salad, cheese and chorizo. This was well presented and tasty..definitely manageable for one person! Next the risotto..again this was cooked beautifully and went well with a large glass of malbec. My friends ordered a simple carbornara which looked really rich. To finish we ended the meal with a liquere coffee. Overall this was a nice Italian..I haven't had much luck with the ones in Manchester! But yes quite pricey if you want something other than a pasta or pizza dish..and they do try charging you a optional service charge. Decor and ambiance is classic Italian with bold reds and "romantic. " I might be back after I've checked out the others .

Somebody had recommended Don Giovanni's to…read moreme, but I'd just remembered that it was at the end of Oxford Street and had an Italian sounding name (my hair isn't even that blonde), so we found ourselves in Giorgio, just across the road. The restaurant has more of an Italian feel to it than pseudo-Italian restaurants such as Felicini, and the staff were Italian too, which added to the air of authenticity. Prices are pretty standard - ranging from £6.50 for a margarita (but who orders a margarita?!) to £17.50 for the sea bass. We stuck to pizzas, which were delicious, but for the more wealthy and adventurous there is quite a varied menu including duck marinated in orange liqueur and several variations on the fillet steak. Vegetarian choices are not quite so exciting though there are still a couple of pizzas and pasta dishes to choose from. So, it's an authentic Italian restaurant with good reasonably priced fare. Why only 3 stars? Well, we were sitting not more than 20cm (I kid you not) from another table. I usually quite enjoy a good eavesdrop, but this was too close for comfort. It felt like we should've been sharing food and chatter with the couple next to us. Of course we're British and were too polite to complain as the restaurant was busy at the time, but this little predicament has encouraged me to head over to Don Giovanni's next time I'm on Oxford Street and in the mood for an Italian.
