I had high hopes for this place after watching many influencers on YouTube talk about this place but unfortunately I was very disappointed. We got the short ribs and pulled pork and both meats were dry and they were lacking a sauce. The flavor was average as well. Overall just underwhelming. The only nice thing was the Brie parcels from the starters. Even the cocktails were bad, I had a margarita and I could taste the cheap low quality alcohol they’ve used, I had to return it. I would avoid this place

Terrible standard of food the short ribs were dry seems liked they were cooked days ago and re heated I know cause I’m a chef. The potatoe tots are pre made frozen crap they taste more like crisp from the Aldi. But t was all just average I complained and got 20% of but I left 80% of the food and had to go else where to get fully awful experience I’m not your average diner but this is below average food. Stay clesr!

I always always have mixed thoughts about this place, concept is perfect. Manchester does need more American style food and restaurants.. however if you’re going to be doing Chicago deep dish I would recommend doing more research on how to do it properly. The videos I see of real Chicago deep dish look nice and soft, filled to the brim and the cheese is perfect whereas with your version it’s more quiche like and hard, cheese isnt the correct style for what it should be and most importantly the marinara should be smooth not lumpy and it also should cover the whole top of the pie. Moving on from the pizza, the sides and other dishes are always top notch, way too big and fumbley to eat but really tasty. Personally I hate tater tots, I think you should have home fries instead. Congrats on the new venue that’s a good move, the more space was definitely needed.

I have never eaten a better new york style pizza in Manchester. Wow this place is so so so good. If you love deep dish or pie pizza, you have to come here and eat The service is a bit slow as compared to other joints, but i think that is because the pie pizzas take more time to prepare The beer menu is quite limited Its pocket friendly place. Plz book in advance as this place is mostly full.

First off just look at my previous reviews; I don't do bad ones, but this was just the worst. I booked here for my partners birthday, based on previous reviews and the Instagram. I genuinely believe our experience could have been close to 5* if we were sat 3 tables down, which emphasises just how bad our service from this individual was. The start was promising; we got a voucher for my partners birthday that entitled her to a free drink. Nice touch and unexpected. We waited a while to get a drinks order, and then an even longer while to get a food order, mainly due to our server being on her phone or talking to the bar staff. At this point we were then told the thing i wanted was out of stock. Wouldn't have been a major dilemma, but the fact that the table next to me got it (having ordered 10 min prior, and we could've ordered straight after but server decided to go to talk to another waitress) showed that the only reason i didn't get it was down to the slow service. That's annoying, but then would not really be a game changer, was just in my head that we should've been informed prior. Food was ok. The annoying bit for my partner was she asked for no chilli in her meal, and was not told about any spice etc that would remain, so couldn't really finish hers (more of a pallet issue, but again no real guidance from server). I had the beef chilli, which was OK, but when watching the table next to me eat the meal i really wanted and would've got if my server was quicker was a bit underwhelming and tbf lacking actual meat, was just kidney beans really. No check back at all, and when we finished our meals, there was no check how things were, was just silence and snatching away of plates. We were not offered dessert menus either, had to ask another server for that after 10 minutes. This is after having to chase our server for drinks as well, as she was too busy talking to anyone other than guests, and would rather be on her phone. When we had the dessert menu, after asking i was told by the new server that they only lacked cream for sundaes. 10 minutes later, our original server ran over to tell us that actually there was only one dessert left due to "a busy day". Like i get a busy day affects stock levels, but when you've been negligent all through, and we've only lost out on meals for you being preoccupied talking or being on your phone, it's frustrating. We decided not to get a dessert, and then waited a while to track our server down to get the bill. We then waited another 15 minutes to get said bill as she wandered to the kitchen, or the bar, or the front door, anywhere other than actually getting the bill. She then saw me getting agitated, and said she'd get it, before not actually getting it, choosing to talk to a table not in her section. We had another server give it us, and the only reason i gave a service charge was because it was already added and felt this guy didn't deserve the awkwardness of me asking to take it off. I paused when he asked and said yeah, and nothing was said about it, it's like they know the service was poor, but just didn't want to bring it up. Credit to the original server though; she remembered to say goodbye... more than expected from previous showings. The server on the other section seemed really quick, attentive and chatty. I reckon if we had him, we'd have had the meals we wanted, got drinks when needed, and been happy. But no, we were dealt with a woman who just didn't seem to care, and what should have been a nice celebration ended up being a rush to get out. Chefs, you have a tough job, and i appreciate your efforts, it's the servers that have let you down

So bloody good! The food, service, atmosphere—everything was so good. Emily B was our server and she was great 🙂 Really recommend going. My only point, and it's not losing any stars, is that it would make life much easier to note what's vegetarian and that it's a vegetarian "parmesan." We very nearly didn't come because of this, and I had to call several times before someone answered and I found out there were vegetarian items. I'm so glad we did because I would have hated to miss out!

The staff were lovely, the beef short rib loaded tots where 10/10 but the pizza was a little disappointing. I wasn't a fan of the dough itself but that could be a personal thing as I've never had an authentic American pizza pie before so I can't really comment on how authentic it tastes and if I'd like the real thing. However I do feel like there was a lack of cheese and a surplus of sauce that didn't help. I would 100% skip the garlic dough balls as they are pretty expensive for what you get, and they were a little dry. The place is a little expensive but the quality of the meats etc is 10/10, if you get anything youve gotta try the short rib. I think it's a place worth trying but I don't think we'd go again. Staff again were lovely and couldn't fault them and the drinks were fantastic, would recommend the salted caramel martini and the maple old fashioned.

Slow service, waited for one pizza for more than 30’ and the place was like half full. The pizza was very yummy and we liked the atmosphere. However be aware that they add two optional charges to the bill - “carbon friendly dining” and “service charge” makes the total higher than in other similar places. Would definitely return for a nice pizza but I don’t think it’s going to be our “default” pizza place.

We came in quite late, the Pies were nearly closing, but still, we were greeted with a friendly face and a warm smile emanating from our lovely server Ryan. US Diner-style seats and interior is quite welcoming, the whole atmosphere is quite chill so you don't really have to dress up (still, please put on some jeans, just out of sheer decency). So, I've never before tried Chicago style pizza, and we all thought it would be a good idea to find out, what it is. I ordered an appetiser first (buffalo mozzarella with pesto and tomatoes). I actually would've loved this cute improv on a theme of Caprese, were it not for the tomatoes - unfortunately, completely aroma-less and plastic. I can only suggest that seeing how expensive other ingredients are, surely it's possible to get a few heirloom tomatoes in Manchester. Still, I did like it, pesto was amazing, cheese - beyond any compliments, so all in all A-. And then came the ... I don't know exactly how to call it. I know that's the tastiest thing I've tried in a while, "cornucopia of dopamine" is probably the best way to describe it. Just close your eyes, imagine "bestest" things you can think of about food, your most colourful dreams and most daring tastes, double it and you'll be in the ballpark. Spicy meats, flaming sausages, aromatic cuts, melted stringy cheese put generously on every pie, and if you're still not overwhelmed, they will double tap you just to be sure with a serving of hot honey. And all of this in a crunchy pie cooked to perfection. So, to sum it up. Is it the most decadent diet-killing fat-dripping thing I've eaten in a year? Definitely, I had to reduce daily intake to two glasses of water for half a week just to get back on track with my diet. Is it worth it though? Yep! And next time we're coming, I'm going all in - pizza per person, not half, like this time. It's nice to look slim, it's nicer to be healthy, but once in a blue moon there's just things, that are worth a coronary or two.

I got there at 2.45 and the host asked me if I had a reservation. "No? OK, we only have tables for those who haven't booked after 8:00." Really? Cool. The guy was just trying for some reason to get me out of there, because, you know, I'm just some costumer and there's more around. I went across the street and had a delicious Neapolitan pizza at Rudy's without a reservation. I won't be going back to ‘American Pies’.

I came across this restaurant on instagram and read the reviews and thought I had to give this place a try, it’s a bit of a travel(about an hour) but why not. My son’s 13 th birthday was coming up and thought let’s go for it. When we arrived we were treated by what we later found out was the manager. It wasn’t the friendliest of welcomes, must have been having a bad day! The table was ready for us, however we did say we needed a high chair when booking and this wasn’t set out. The waitress who served us was lovely, really friendly and helpful. Having not been before I asked what she would recommend and she pointed a few of her personal favourites out which was helpful. Food came in a timely manner and was nice to be fair, something different and certainly worth a visit. We had a mixture of dishes but my favourite was the short rib and chilli, would definitely recommend. At the end of the meal we asked for the bill. We were advised that there is a 10% service charge added but this isn’t mandatory and could be taken off the bill. I always feel obliged to pay generally but on this occasion I chose not too. I explained to the waitress why and my reasons were on my booking, the form asks is the visit for a special occasion to which I added Birthday and also that I was in need of a high chair. Maybe I’m old school but for me if your asking for this information, surely this should be acknowledged in some way, ie have the high chair ready, maybe greet customers celebrating something ie birthday with a whose special day is it, wish them happy birthday etc, it’s the little things that make a difference but we had nothing throughout the meal. When I explained this the waitress check my booking and apologised for this, she said she would provide feedback to the manager, who as I mentioned earlier was the guy who greeted us. The most disappointing things was the waitress went over to the manager who was sat close by at the bar and explained what I’d said, he just dismissed it and provided no acknowledgement at all, a simple apology would have been nice. But clearly our custom didn’t matter the guy was simply rude in my opinion so for this and his not so happy disposition I will not return again! Hope this helps improve things for others in future.

Ridiculously filling. 1 pizza between 2 is loads. Be careful not to order too much. Service charge included in the bill, which we didn't mind paying as our waitress last night was lovely. She gave us good advice on the menu, but more than that, she was fun and made nice conversation as she brought our food and drinks. Better than the old venue, not too expensive for what you get, 40 quid for a food mountain and a pint each. Definitely worth a visit.

If you’re a cheese lover this is the dish for you, as the sauce is next level the crust perfect and in almost every way leaves you wanting more.

Walked in on NYE at 4pm the host at the door didn’t know what to do with a walk in. Was 4 other tables in and felt like an eternity to figure out where to seat us. Service was ok felt it a bit odd the waiter wanted to explain the menu and took it out of my hand but just said here’s the starters here’s the mains … I can read a menu. Was told pizzas take 30mins to cook and if we wanted the burrito would be 45mins we was in no rush so that’s ok but if you had a place to be then give yourself 45mins just for the thing to cook. We all ordered the pizza then 4 plates arrive and 4 metal basket things that the pizzas sit on top of all that along with glasses cutlery drinks menus the table is very cluttered. The pizza was the worst thing we have ever eaten and was all in agreement. It resembles a quiche case and just filled with a load of melted congealed cheese the crust is hard over baked and inedible I run a pizza joint so I know all about dough. I really wanted this place to be good and be able to hype up a fellow pizzeria but it was just so disappointing. we paid £137 for 4 pizzas and 8 pints service is added automatically it’s optional but we paid it as it’s not the waiters fault the whole concept is doomed it’s definitely a try once and never again place which is a shame

Will preface my comment with the fact that I'm not a huge fan of deep-dish pizza in general. The food is decent. It tastes ok, but it's nothing overly special outside of the novelty factor. If you're after pizza there's plenty of places nearby that have a better quality pizza for a much lower price. The base in particular felt far too doughy (again - this might just be me not really liking the style of pizza). The Wellington was ok but the sauce massively overpowered the steak , disappointing for over £30. Service was friendly and explained the wait times for some of the dishes well. If the prices were lower I'd consider returning but not sure it's great value for money.

A completely bad Chicago Pizza imitation. I can't understand why this is such a recommended place on insta. Do not believe in this.

We came here after playing the cube in the Arndale. We were pretty merry by this point and ordered a lot of food. The server did warn us that we’ve probably over ordered for the 4 of us but we still went ahead. We had deep fried lasagne and some chorizo dish for starters, then two nduja garlic bread pies and four pizzas. Honestly the food was great, the alcohol was wet. What more do you want? As expected and pre warned, we had way too much left over so we got given it to take home in a doggy bag which was ace. So with wines, beers, soft drinks and food it came to £200 with a service charge in that. I’ll definitely be back.

Been twice now. 1st time lasagne was devine and so was the garlic and cheese pie. We couldn’t wait to go again. 2nd time the lasagne was very dry and crusty with no juices. It was a struggle. I didn’t complain as such but I did let them know when I was leaving. I’m not in the habit of asking for a refund but if no one says anything how can they get it right. I think I was the first to order it that night and it had been left under the heat lamps too long. American Pie must be mindful of that. So disappointed that you only serve cold drinks. I drive so not always wanting an ice cold soft drink with food. Maybe a self serve coffee machine? Not much of an atmosphere. Everyone keeps themselves to themselves. Asking me to review food that I haven’t eaten and what I did eat is not reviewable. So will just have to pick something. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The food was pretty poor .the pizza pies are just recast pies with a little sauce and loads of cheese in no real flavour. The rib was very dry and teastless and could hardly chew it . Definitely over rated wouldn't recommend it at all .it cost £80 food and 2 drinks

Walked in on my open 40mins before close only to be informed that the kitchen is closed. Doesn’t make it apparent anywhere the kitchen closes that earlier

Honestly, it's a hype train. I really expected it to be better. The sides and the tots were great but I think when a places USP is pizza it should be better pizza in general. The ingredients were all nice enough but it just lacked a little in execution. The crust was a bit soggy/doughy which was the main let down. Grease had pooled on the top of my pizza too. In summary, if you're going to go, get the sides and tots, don't bother with the pizza. There's nicer pizza for less money elsewhere. Service and atmosphere was decent, nothing exceptional but nothing to moan about.

Great place, fabulous staff..perfect food! The portion sizes are really decent. Rachel in particular was so knowledgeable and helped us pick the perfect meals. You have a 10% optional service charge which is worth every penny. Your missing a trick if you don't try!

Visiting on a rainy Sunday night I expected it to be pretty quiet, boy was I wrong. The place was buzzing and full. We were seated quickly and then our fantastic waitress talked us through the menu and gave some advice on how much to order. The deep dish pie and the loaded tots were sensational as well as the Dorito crumbed mozzarella lollipops and the chicken parm starters. We were offered dessert but there was no way we could eat dessert after so much food. Next time I'm in Manchester I'll definitely be heading here again!

First visit here last night as we was staying in Manchester, we wanted to try it for a while, pre booked our table as it gets busy. This did not dissapoint, great service from the waiter serving us and the food was amazing never had such nice pieces of pizza pie and we've ate alot of pizza 🍕 this even stood out from the pizza we've had in new York and Venice and that's saying something. We really enjoyed our night amd will be back next time we're in MCR 😍

Really good food! Have been seeing and hearing about this place from Social Media, decided to try to book in for a date with my partner and the food was absolutely amazing. Our server was super attentive and explained the menu to us. We ordered the Pepperoni Pizza Pie with Hot Honey and it was REALLY good and super cheesy. Then we also got the Korean Short Rib Tater Tots and the Meat was super tender, the tots with the sauce were so delicious. It's a generous portion too! We couldn't finish the tots but made sure to take it home because it was just so good. Ambience was super nice and overall a really good experience.

Amazing food. Really big eats at this place and it’s been showcased on many social media platforms for how good it is, do not miss out on this gem! The deep dish pizzas are insane however this time I had the Korean short rib focaccia sandwich with tater tots and it melted in my mouth. Do not miss out on this place!

Came during lunchtime. Our first time. Served by a friendly chap who informed us that some of the dishes on the menu had halal options as we originally ordered 2 vegetarian pizzas. Pizzas were very filling so I couldn't finish mine. Pizza was very nice and would definitely come again to try other dishes on the menu.

We wanted to try the brisket lasagne but they'd run out so we had the mozzarella lollipops, pizza and Brisket tots. Everything was great, lollipops were maybe a bit much with the pizza so don't have them together. Definitely a must try!

We were a group of 14 who went for a cheese fondue night to reminisce about past ski trips. The booking process was excellent with quick and informative responses from Sam to help organise everything. The food was very good, the fondues were nice and the bread, salami and (especially) crispy roast potatoes went very well with it. Not sure about the crackers though, we couldn't understand that :-). The atmosphere was warm, buzzy and friendly and the staff brilliant, very attentive and efficient. We had quite a few drinks and spent a very reasonable we thought £31pp incl. tip, great value for central Manchester on a Saturday night. Definitely recommended, thanks guys!
