We had been to the pub a few doors down (the Maggie's) and she insisted on getting a pizza. It was not even eleven o clock yet and I wasn't that drunk. Nowhere near drunk enough to be shoving down greasy junk food. But it was cold outside so the two of us who didn't have spare cash for random pizzas joined her inside. Oh dear. I felt like my face was having a physical reaction to my environment- so greasy- why didn't they keep the door open or install a massive window for god's sake? The guy sorting out the food barely acknowledged us except to hand over the pizza (pepperoni, £4) without a smile. The pizza was ok - oh come on, of course I was gonna have a slice. And along with the usual burgers, chips they did have a few intriguing concoctions like their lemon garlic chicken pizza with green peppers. But to be honest I doubt my life would suffer greatly if I never stepped foot into this place again. I don't understand why Pizza Factory is here - Pronto is literally five minutes up Bury Old Road and lots of people who get this sort of food do so in Manchester or Bury town centres at 3am not at 11pm in Prestwich - my friend being the exception of course.

I was FINALLY able to try Rudy's, even though the universe seemed to be against me the whole time…read morebut I finally got in. I've wanted to try this place for some time now, and every time I see people in Manchester asking about the best pizza places, Rudy's is always peoples number one choice. I made a point to want to go there on this visit, so I did everything I needed to do in the city, and then headed over for when it opened so I knew I would be able to get a table. A few people went in before me and the staff member was talking to people a little bit so I had a feeling something was wrong. When I got to the them, it turns out the pizza oven wasn't turning on so there would have been a minimum of 30 minute delay, I could be seated but they couldn't do any orders until the people in had sorted out the problem. I decided to go off and do something else (there's an amazing coffee shop around the corner so I went there for a bit) and then return when, hopefully, it was all fixed. I was gone around 40-45 minutes and when I walked down the street, alongside the extractor vents, I could smell pizza so knew it was all working. When I got in, there was a lot more people inside so it must have been fixed pretty quick and people were going for food. I got seated at the bar area, which was actually where a group of chefs were making the pizzas. I was in front of the one shaping the dough into the pizza shape. I felt a bit awkward looking at them so did it a bit slyly out the corner of my eye. They weren't looking at me so maybe it was as uncomfortable for them as me ... or maybe its just me being an awkward person at a new place. Looking at the menu there was a lot of choice. All of it seemed authentic Neapolitan pizza which Ive never had before so it was new to me. The menu was extensive and I decided to go for good old fashioned basic. HOWEVER, it turns out I ordered even more basic as I got the marinara rather than the margarita ... I did order that but didn't realise the marinara was without cheese. SO that was a shock at first but MY GOD it was delicious. Perfectly cooked and I could see them cooking it, perfect amount of garlic shavings and basil and the sauce and base was to die for. I can see why people say its the best, and there was a number of delivery or to take out orders as a staff member was constantly going out with piles of boxes. On the table where I was there was a tomato tin filled with the cutlery and napkins and a giant pizza cutter which I thought was pretty cool, so I was able to slice my own pizza into whatever sized pieces I wanted. Obviously I ate it how it should be eaten (in my opinion)... into slices and picked up and folded and it was great. I also got a jug of water before my order was taken which I love, and went for a simple blood orange san Pellegrino which came with ice and an orange slice. The pizza was around 9 inch I think ... a good size either way and all in all it only came to £10 which was a bargain. I will, for sure, return and maybe get some cheese on it this time ... and maybe mushrooms as the fungi pizza looked amazing (the guy who sat next to me ordered that) and when I can finally move up to Manchester, I shall order from there more often.

We enjoyed our experience at Rudy's. We were visiting from out of town and it was a relatively…read moreshort walk from our hotel. 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!

When we moved to Whitefield I took it upon myself to try to find somewhere that I could get a good…read moretakeaway pizza as some nights you just need one. I tried a number of local takeaways where I would get what you would expect, reasonable pizza that was often a little too greasy, that was until I tried Peppe's. The quality of the pizza at Peppe's is simply better than you can find at most takeaways and is more comparable to what you would find in city centre Pizzerias. They taste fresher, less greasy and more satisfying. If you are in the Whitefield area and it is one of those nights where you are craving a pizza, then make Peppe's your first choice. In addition to the option of takeaway you can also eat in at Peppe's (although I have not tried this yet). If this is your preference I would advise booking as it is only a small place. What I would also suggest is trying the ribs, they are messy but definitely worth it.

We are talking £6 or £7 for most of the main courses with desserts still at the standard almost £4 or above price. Its a good alternative to the chain restaurants that you see everywhere without actually being too strikingly different. The atmosphere is good in the evenings as it caters well for groups. The waiters don't rush you through your dinner too much which you sometimes get at lower priced restaurants. As with everything else, the food won't blow your mind but its good enough to make you go back: I'd recommend the Duck Salad which comes with their delicious dough balls plus croutons. My sister and I have learnt to ask for the sweet chilli jam on the side as less is definitely more. Croma is good for get togethers with friends on a budget, not necessarily for big occassions. I wouldn't dress up too much to go to Croma.

The fact that it's full every night over the weekend proves just how good this place is and priced perfectly. The interior is great and the staff is friendly and the service has been good on the whole. Sure we have had the odd problem when it's been packed out but nothing too serious so to ruin a night out. I usually go for the Garlic Prawn starter which can be a little hit and miss but the for main there is only one dish I go for - The Anatra pizza - peking duck, plum and hoi-sin sauce, spring onions, cucumber, mozzarella and fresh coriander (no tomato). Has to be one of my favourite dishes ever!

This is quite a nice Pizza Express store, located in a small run of shops in Pretswich, parking…read morehere is just outside the store and they is no designated spaces, It isn't even worth trying to park in the "car park" as I was forced to move my car by a man who tried to get me a table at another restaurant, before I had even got out of a car, which was pushy, shown desperation on Saporito's part, although I'm pleased to admit, it had nothing to do with Pizza Express, and I even talked about my server here about that, and she told me it is a common complaint. Now back to Pizza Express, this is a nice branch and they even let me use my Tastecard for a takeaway order, by putting me at a table, which was easy enough to do, but it was good to see the manager approved it. My food was quite nice for both the pizza base and toppings, although the base was really oily so by the time I got to the car, after not holding my pizza straight, all the toppings had rolled off. They also were unable to cut my pizza due to it being gluten free, I understand this but normally other branches of Pizza Express and rival chains would find something for me, but I understand it is a cross-contamination issue. This is a nice branch of Pizza Express, the staff here seemed good, but I was still dissapointed with the situation with the restaurant next store and parking nonetheless, while considering some issues with the pizza, I feel this store deserves a solid 3 star rating, but is probably on the lower end of the 3 star scale.

Now don't disown me, people have in the past- I don't like pizza. I find that it's normally a soggy disappointment. Shop pizza is just a waste of my time and calorie allowance. I'm partial to a horrendous greasy pizza at the end of a gin filled night out, and I like properly made super fresh lovely pizza, but it's so often much easier to band it all together with a summary statement of dislike. This pizza though, fell into the latter. Plus, the wine and gin (our tipple for most of the night) were pretty cheap, and the cocktails were tasty. I reckon proper pizza lovers would be happier than me with this joint too.

They had a big pizza oven which looked good next to ther bar and the pizzas look really good and taste amazing as tried them at federation coffee shop. Definitely a place to try.

Looked…read moreonline and saw that there's now two branches, so thought I'd pop into the Northern Quarter branch, which was a little tricky to find, but is basically nestled behind Affleck's, next door to Dive. Their decoration seems to be this weird quirky blue guy... is this Crazy Pedro? Lives up to his name anyway from what I can see. But moving on. You enter down some stairs into a basement space, which is dark, modern, and very Northern Quarter, right down to recycled aluminium lighting and filament light bulbs against bare brick. I like the colourful artwork though, and the music posters on the ceiling. It also has pinball machines, which is always a plus. It has a nice atmosphere too, friends meeting up to laugh and chat over big ol' pizzas, nachos, cocktails, and beer. As we enter, a friendly staff member at the bar welcomes us and lets us choose from the menu, giving us some advice on the pizzas, and when we decide we want to share a pizza, he lets us know that we can even have half-and-half on a pizza, so we can try a couple of options. Great idea. What's even better is that we appear to have arrived during Happy Hour, meaning a 16 inch freshly made pizza was only £10! Bargain! We opted for half pepperoni (classic!) and half The Cuban. Both arrived in decent time, and were hot, fresh and tasty. I particularly liked that the base tasted toasted, and wasn't soggy in the middle with the toppings sliding off into a fatty pile or anything like you tend to get with a lot of pizza places. The pepperoni was great, can't fault it, but The Cuban was really REALLY good! Ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, pickles (gherkin slices) and mustard, and it was perfect. It wasn't greasy, it was full of flavour, and all the flavours worked together really well. I would DEFINITELY order this again! So although it was a fleeting visit, I was really impressed. Good atmosphere, friendly staff, surprisingly good prices for the Northern Quarter, and damn good quality pizza! Go! Go now!
