Fancy a trip to Manchester to get a taste of pizzas from all over the globe? Manchester City centre has you covered – from weird and wonderful pizza toppings to just plain pepperoni – there’s sure to be something on our list that’s right up your alley. Have a read of some of the places we’ve tried, tested and would highly recommend below.
Crazy Pedros
Hidden away down a backstreet in the Northern Quarter, Crazy Pedro’s in an underground pizza parlour like no other, with a limited menu of just pizza, nachos and drinks. These pizzas are seriously big. Here, it’s go big or go home – with the venue giving punters the option of a 16-inch pizza or bites by the slice, so you better be hungry. Fancy a hot dog pizza? What about a burger pizza? You’ll often find both at Crazy P’s, alongside a range of other odd flavour combinations. This is especially handy during happy hour, which is 5pm until 9pm, Sunday to Friday, and features cheap and cheerful £12 full pizzas or £2.50 for single slices – perfect for students or those on a budget. Don’t worry, they have a great selection of vegan and veggie options too, so there really is a flavour for everyone.

Ramona
Picture the scene: it’s a hot summer day in Manchester and all you want is to be is sat in a beer garden, a cold drink in hand, eating a pizza slice. If you ever find yourself in that exact situation, Ramona is the destination for you. They don’t only offer delicious, deep-dish slices but also have their own in-house margarita bar, their own radio station playing your favourite summer anthems, a rustic campfire and a beer garden. Basically, they have your new favourite summer venue. Their pizza is freshly made and inspired by those made famous in Detroit which are traditionally deep, doughy and saucy with a chewy-yet-crispy base. Certainly not your average pizza from a kebab shop after a night out.
