Manchester is awash with pizza, and all manner of shapes and sizes these days too, taking in the various styles from around the world.

Ramona
Ramona, on Swan Street, city centre, is an exponent of the Detroit style of pizza, reputedly originating from the car factories of the Motor City, where it would be made in square oil pans.
As such, this is a deep pan affair, with the cheese crusting all up the side of the pan to devastating, Homer Simpson-gargling effect.
The Jabba, with fennel salami, and the Cali Pepps, with a huge ball of oozing burrata cheese dropped in the middle, are future classics.

Honest Crust
The daddy of them all, Honest Crust’s spot in Alti Market was a revelation when it opened, among the first to truly champion the sourdough Neapolitan style.
Solid ingredients, inventive specials - within reason, no hoi sin duck or chicken tikka here - and passion for the craft, plus the theatre of the open oven, make this spot (and the Honest Crust outlets in Mackie Mayor and the Macclesfield Picturedrome) something very special.
Hat's off.

When Rudy’s opened its first tiny spot on Cutting Room Square, the queues became the stuff of legend.
Throw in some authentic Italian aperitifs and, obviously, some of the best - not to mention reasonably priced - pizza in town, and they were clearly onto a winner.
Now they’re spreading across the land, from Liverpool to Leeds to London, and best of luck to them.
