Manchester, we’ve got a lot going on 🍕❤️

From proper sourdough pizza and award winning teams to drag queen-hosted masterclasses, a kids’ entertainment spot and a world map to pin where you’re from!

And it’s not just about the pizza. Our teams are big on giving back. This Christmas, they’re also planning a gift-giving tree with Wood Street Mission to help make Christmas a bit brighter for local kids 🎁

Two pizzerias, great people and plenty of pizza. What’s not to love? Ciao!
