We went on a Monday around 3pm and there were plenty of spaces to sit inside and outside.The service was great...we never had to wait too long for anything and each employee was very nice and professional. 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!

It has a single, large open bar area with plenty of tables, as well as lots of outdoor seating (for when the weather allows...). You order both drinks and pizzas at the bar (this isn't entirely obvious when you walk in), and the pizzas are delivered to your table when they are ready. The menu has a very good choice of vegetarian, vegan and meat, options, as well as side dishes and dips. Pizzas come in a 14 inch version, plenty for one; or large, 22 inch versions to share. For dessert they offer a range of ice cream sandwiches. We had two 14 inch, pizzas, one vegetarian, and one meat option, and two 500ml alcohol free lagers, which came to £34. Service throughout was extremely friendly and helpful, and pizzas arrived quite swiftly. The pizzas themselves were really good - thin base, nice crispy crust, and good fillings. Takeaway and pizza by the slice are available. Recommended.

I've always wanted to do Manchester pizza and sourdough pizza and I'm glad to say I was not disappointed. It was SO good. I got there for opening, sat down and it was bar order. I was in my own so didn't want a full pizza to myself but luckily I could order slices ... from a 22inch pizza so they were hyuuuge. Looked at the menu before and being the common northerner I am, I assumed the burrata slice was beef ... so I ordered that and the OG margarita (as that's the surefire way to see how good a pizza place is) and sat down with my coke. It didn't take long for them to arrive and after seeing them I had to have a quick google as there was no meat .. (the big ol v on the menu should have given that away) and it turns out burrata is mozzarella and cream ... anywhoo ... tried the OG and it was one of the best slices I've ever had. Tomato base was tangy and delicious, just enough cheese and not overpowering, an amazing crunch to the base .. it was so good. Moving onto the burrata that was just as nice. You could taste the garlic and the basil oil and the few leafs of basil on it was just enough and not overpowering. Would deffo go back there again when I have a pizza slice craving and maybe even try a full pizza. (The address is for the northern quarter restaurant which is the one I went to .. the first review is for the kampus one which is near Piccadilly station and around Aytoun street)

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.

Close to St Peters Square and the Midland Hotel, this branch of Pizza Express is far enough away from most of the shops to not be rammed during the daytime. I would imagine it's busier in the evening. Why only 3 stars? Well, although I enjoyed my Pizza, it wasn't perfect. I tried the new American Hottest, and whilst the toppings were delicious and the buffalo mozzarella delightful, the base was just a bit too soggy for my liking. Another star was lost for the dessert. I ordered chocolate fudge cake, which was served with ice cream. I was really disappointed. A small piece of sponge cake topped with chocolate frosting is not chocolate fudge cake. There should be at least one layer of fudge/cream in the middle, if not two, and more around the outside. Two mains, two desserts and two drinks came to £43.55 before tastecard discount. That's way too much for this kind of meal. Tastecard brought it down to £28.65, and it was barely worth that.

As expected Pizza Express does the decor and vibe ting very well, with 2 big floors and a big bar. The food is usually good and this pizza express is particularly special due to its proximity to the AMC cinemas, this means come every Wednesday night you can get 2 for 1 film tickets followed by 2 for 1 pizza express (if your with orange, if not you can still save some green on your pizzas by searching the internet for a voucher). Perfect for the couples on a budget evening. Pizza express has some awesome pizzas and they've recently started doing legaras? (I think their called) which are thin crust, so all n all it's for winners.

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.

I popped in here with my mum before a quick trip to Khawaja Brothers and Morrison's, and boy were we glad we did. Slabs of amazing homemade cake, incredible salads of puy lentils, Mediterranean veg, sundried tomatoes, big wedges of vegetarian lasagne, giant salmon fishcakes... the choices here are endless. And all served with a warm smile and with the option of kick-ass coffee and Teapigs tea. Yes, they had me at Teapigs tea. And amazing greetings cards, randomly. The decor is really relaxing, the outside space plentiful, and despite being on one of the busies roads in South Manchester and near a petrol station it manages to maintain an ambience of calm. We indulged in the banana and coconut cake and Victoria sponge, and both were mindblowing. The coconut icing on the banana cake should be sold by the spoonful and the Victoria sandwich had fresh strawberries in the buttercream topping and utterly delicious jam in the middle. Oh and the cake dough didn't even harbour a hint of dryness. The prices are reasonable too, and that wifi I mentioned didn't falter once - even while I was outside on the patio. This is one star worthy of handprints in cement. It can even wear sunglasses indoors if it wishes. Basically in my book, it's so cool that it can do no wrong.
