Bakehouse32 in Trafford

Very nice pizza and I highly recommend them but would prefer them as takeaway since the experience of visiting this place is not is not the best and I'm not a fan of the service. Pizza and Aperol Spritz go together (even if these are not Italian pizzas) but even if they have the ingredients for an Aperol Spritz, they won't make you one. Instead they have some Aperol Margarita cocktail and you can also get a bottle of prosecco if you want. They just won't make you an Aperol as it's not on the menu. I'm just not a fan a of places that won't be flexible with their menu, especially when they have the ingredients. Their beer.and wine menu is decent but the cocktail menu isn't. Also been there a few times now and they never have tiramisu. Don't even know why it keeps being on the menu. They were also meant to be serving pastas and I'm not sure what's happened to that... Drinks wise, they could learn from their almost neighbours Colby's who go out of their way to please customers and are flexible if something is missing on the menu.

I only post this because I really believe in Bakehouse 32 as a resident and I know how dearly it is regarded by locals so I want it to thrive. The pizzas can’t be faulted really, vegetarian options are a bit static but overall great menu, In terms of sides, nibbles, dips, oils etc for the table it lacks imagination and overall the atmosphere just lacks nuance, identity and character. As another reviewer said on here, it’s all just a bit functional. I’m sure overtime they’ll get it right but as a night out it’s not quite there yet as an ‘experience’. Very much a supporter nonetheless.

Tasty pizza. Does a spicy anchovy pizza so my other half was set. Mine had little topping and wasn't cooked through (and I've lived in Florence so I know a good pizza). Interior feels functional not welcoming but I hope it will develop in time. Lots of highchairs for babies, but the baby change is so low down in the toilets I did my back in. Overall the rest of the party raved about their food so I'd give them another go.

So yummy - great breakfast options and delish tea and coffee - staff are great and friendly

The food was very tasty, but the service was incredibly slow - they did apologise but it took 90 mins to get a soup and there were hardly any customers in there. The whole vibe there just doesn't seem as good as before. I don't like that they've covered the plugs to stop people using laptop. I miss the old food court.

Sad but true. Great food. Never answer the phone , run out of dough , no message to customers to say there not doing takeaways. One week we walked to the place because they wouldn't answer the phone and they had run out of dough at 6;00 o'clock in a Saturday?? Again this Saturday , they won't answer the phone. You can't get onto shocal or Uber eats. What's going on. We as customers would like to know. It's crazy. Seriously going elsewhere. Shame but not worth the bloody hassle. !!! We basically have tried to order a takeaway on Saturday a few times including this Saturday. No one answers the phone so we walked down one week to order a takeaway and was told that there were no takeaways available as you had not ordered enough dough. It's just frustrating as we have had numerous takeaways and tell everyone how tasty your pizzas are, but if you don't answer the phone or don't tell anyone via social media that your not doing takeaways then it's just like a mysterious pizza conundrum game on a Saturday. We phoned from 5:10 until about 6:30 . So you can see how much we like your food. I am sure you will get on top of this asap and not be as over stretched as the dough you haven't got.

Was a fan of the original place for GF pizza, so my partner and I came for lunch. Unfortunately, no pizza's served in the day and there was nothing gluten free on the lunch menu so couldn't stay. Very disappointed as I really want to support this place.

Good coffee and great sausage butties! Looking forward to trying the pizza with a pint of Sonoma. An improvement on the foodhall.

The Redbank coffee is unmatched and the artisan donuts delicious but the service leaves an entire continent to be desired. The staff also seem to be partaking in some weird experiment which sees them unable to decode simple social cues; I was stood at the counter for several minutes before one of them looked up from their phone - inches away fron me - with a 'sorry are you being served?'. Eventually the owner took half my order but bolted, mid-sentence, to serve someone deemed more worthy who was sat down. I'm hazy on the specifics of UK Food Safety Legislation 2024, but I'm quite sure it isn't found knuckle deep in the owner's belly button. He walked around cupping his exposed belly with the sentimentality of a pregnant woman and rummaged around in his as though it was a cherished hobby. Thankfully he used gloves for my salted caramel brioche donut. But it left a bad taste in my mouth as evidenced by this review.

Had vegan breakfast roll during the lunch time, and Vegan n’duja pizza at the evening, both extremely delicious! 😋

We've been in for lunch and dinner and have been very happy with both visits. Coffee is great and probably one of the best reuben sandwiches I've ever had.. Big statement, but true. And the pizzas we had in the evening were also banging. Very fair prices and the staff were all great. Happy to have this place in stretford.

Brilliant pizza. Brilliant cocktails. Great, friendly staff. What's not to like...

Maybe it was bad timing, but the whole experience was incredibly frustrating and underwhelming. Multiple customers around me were clearly frustrated and had complained about waiting for 30+ mins for a basic sandwich. Some walked out after receiving refunds (which also took, who I’m assuming is the owner, 10 mins to sort out). The staff were indifferent, to put it kindly. No sense of urgency or basic awareness of their customers. Overpriced. Disappointing. I recognise businesses have teething periods, but that’s no excuse for the staff to be utterly disengaged.

Great cosy atmosphere. They started selling breakfast too.

Been back tonight and this place has took a gamble with such a space but it’s 100% paid off! The new extended menu is mega! The pizzas are as good as I remember and the staff are adorable! Dasha and Agatha are just lovely so warm welcoming and friendly and really take the time to get to know you! An awesome addition to the local community… the coffee and pasty selection during the day is awesome too! And it’s dog friendly! May fave spot in stretford ❤️

Love this place! The staff, the food, the coffee, the atmosphere - it’s just so good! Big gamble moving from the smaller unit to this much bigger one but it’s paid off, well done! So happy it’s back open and serving my all time favourite pizza again (pumpkin & nduja btw) Well done team - you’re smashing it!

Went in today it was very quiet we struggled to understand the lady taking orders I love coffees so we had a cappuccino it was terribly bad in taste I only had 1 sip and left it they only had 1 option of drink for the kids in a carton not a place I'll visit again

Called in for a coffee today at stretford mall but it was that bad I left it, as did my son. It was like trying to drink treacle very strong and almost tasted like alcohol had been added. Really dissaponted the place was very quiet (4 others) so no atmosphere. Lady was a bit difficult to understand too. Edit: will happily call in for a reg coffee no issues and happily pay good luck like to support a local business

Enjoyed a lovely family meal here tonight (1st Saturday it opened for food). Had to wait a little while for a starter but the place was packed and all the staff were extremely busy, especially our waitress! Great vibe, love that it's dog friendly and the food will blow your mind! We will definitely be back! Keep up the good work!

Highly recommend Bakehouse 32. Went to the new Bakehouse yesterday for pizza, pasta, dessert and drinks. The pizza is the best in Manchester and the pasta was delicious. Perfectly al dente with a silky, peppery sauce (we had Cacio e Pepe). Really nice cocktails and wine/beer selection. We took our toddler and baby and it was both family friendly whilst also managing to create a great atmosphere/good music etc for the adults.

No one picks up the phone and was told the online booking went live this morning. It's not on their website. So a wasted trip to be told 'we are full'. If you want to build longterm business - pick up the phone.

Me and my partner started coming here over 2 years ago, we had walked past seeing “cocktails, coffee and pizza” which my partner turned to say it’s a place made for me (I often have a cocktail, water and coffee when out). We have been on sunny days in their outside area and inside - both carry the amazing by atmosphere and impeccable music taste. The staff are friendly and maintain really good service, very relaxed and chilled vibes no matter what time of year. Families, friends and dogs are welcome too! The food - we have tried many of their options but have come to have a standard order of the pepperoni hot honey pizza and pumpkin base with ‘nduja and cheese pizza . These are amazing, the dough is unlike most other places, that the crust alone is something to look forward too. The pumpkin is a personal fave, again hard to find else where and even if you can it’s nowhere near as moreish! They also have amazing vegan and gluten free options - which I have tried the vegan, and again, amazing quality and taste. They do have dessert options- the baked cheesecake is also a must try, not normally a fan of them but I for sure have been won. Sad to see this little place go but well deserved and excited to see the new place just down the road! Hoping it goes well and will be back when it opens!

Pizza is bangin Cheesecake is to die for

A busy pizzeria with friendly staff, good beer and decent veggie selection. worth the wait and money!

Omg what a little hidden gem of Stretford. Went for a bit of a staff meal. Would highly recommend. We got there for about 7.30 and ordered but we also had a bit of a late arrival and usually they close up at 9, yet they were more than willing to accommodate us and even stayed until we finished which was past 9pm. The pizzas were delicious, we had a variety of different ones and the vegan within the group was also accommodated and really enjoyed their meal. It wasnt very busy when we got there so the atmosphere was a little on the quiet side. But the music was on and was a very chilled vibe. Thanks again to those who were working on the 28th of Feb.

I ordered a spicy Napoli pizza with mushrooms for delivery but no mushrooms were added despite paying extra Delivery also took too long. However, pizza did arrive hot. 3/2/24 - I just wanted to say a massive thank you for honouring your words. I did get my free pizza and it was delicious!! Thanks Bakehouse32!

Great pizza and very friendly staff

Pepperoni Hot Honey and Pumpkin & Gorgonzola everytime. Without doubt the best pizza place in Manchester! The cheesecake is to die for also!

Lovely place and lovely pizza, cheers!

Best pizza i have ever eaten 😋 friendly service even when rushed of their feet as they were last night the customers were kept happy . brilliant staff brilliant food brilliant wine 🍷 Thank you

The best pizza we’ve had in Manchester (and we’ve had a lot!). Small and friendly restaurant in an unassuming spot, simply stylish place with no frills just reliably great pizza every time. Very reasonably priced too.

Popped in for the first time tonight for a date with my girlfriend and it was incredible food and Friday staff will definitely be back again can't recommend enough to people

Amazing Pizzas and friendly staff. We had a takeaway for the whole family and everyone was very full and satisfied after a lovely meal. (We used our hands to eat and one thing that impressed us was that they weren't greasy at all but perfectly cooked. We even wiped our hands on kitchen towel and they were dry!) 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Possibly the best pizza I've ever had 👌

Great little pizzeria serving incredibly tasty food. One of the best pizzas i have ever had (and I've had hundreds!!) Lovely service and the food came out pretty quickly. There was 7 of us and my only criticism would be the pizzas came out 2 or 3 at a time. I would assume the pizza oven wasn't big enough to cook all 7 pizzas at once but we didn't have to wait too long. Would've been nice if the waitress told us that all pizzas wouldn't come out at once but apart from that everything was excellent and very reasonably priced. I would definitely go back.

So good!! Loved the butternut squash and gorgonzola pizza! Really nice wine too!

Food was very nice I recommend the chocolate pizza

Great selection of pizzas, small premises but comfortable and friendly and quick attention.

I really love the pizza from this place! I'm gluten free and they do a fantastic deep dish pizza with a crispy cheese crust, it's just fabulous! My partner highly rates the "normal" pizza's too. It's always a good food night when we order from Bakehouse!

We popped in to the eatery without reservation on a Friday night and it was packed. Fortunately, a table vacated just as we got there and just had to wait a while to get seated. Our food took quite a while to arrive as we were told later that they had a lot of diners arriving at the same time this night, but the pizzas definitely didn't disappoint. They must have a great recipe for their sourdough as the crust while thin, tasted perfect. We went on to try their burnt cheesecake for dessert and boy, I must say that this is a burnt cheesecake to die for. Bravo Bakehouse32!

Spontaneous Sunday evening which turned out to be amazing. The pizzas here are the best we’ve had and a generous size. The cheesecake is also fantastic and authentically New York! Must try 10/10 we will be back!

Only ever got takeout from here. Amazing pizzas 😋

Lovely little restaurant with fantastic pizza and a good selection of wine. Very reasonable too.

Best pizza in Stretford - can even sit out back & park for free!

Really great pizza in a casual atmosphere. Ticks the pizza and margarita boxes!

This place is fantastic with a great selection of Pizzas (vegetarian, vegan and gluten free) and us well worth a visit. Staff were friendly and welcoming too - thoroughly recommend!

Random Sunday evening out with friends. An unexpected treasure! Great pizza, friendly service. Will definitely be back for more!

Yummy vegan pizza and the gin in a can was nice.

Lovely pizzas and great service!!

Best pizza in South Manchester, base is firm and crispy and toppings are high quality. Its really calm and quaint inside. Chocolate pizza surprising and well worth trying.

Absolutely delicious pizza! Can't fault it, i often leave the crusts but can't resist them here! The atmosphere is also great and we are very lucky to have it here in Stretford. Also fab that it's dog friendly too. :) We did find the pizza was a too big for one but not quite big enough for two to share, and without sides like salad to meet in the middle it was a little annoying - but they are very used to people asking to take a piece home so you can always factor it in for lunch the next day too!

Great small local restaurant with excellent delicious pizza.

Went here for Valentine’s and trust me, we were in love with the pizzas. Pepperoni and honey? Yes please. Pumpkin and Gorgonzola? Yes please. The cheesecake was amazing, our first basque cheese cake and certainly not our last. Highly recommend and we will be back to try more pizzas.

Fab vegan pizza as always! My fav local pizza joint! Cant wait for next visit 😋

We visit Stretford, once a month. The pizzas are absolutely fantastic and the staff could not be more pleasant and helpful.

Our favourite pizza in Manchester! Drinks selection is great and the staff are lovely too

Great coffee. The pizzas smelled very nice but we'd already eaten. Also we were teased by very nice looking cheesecakes that were still setting!

Awesome super fresh pizza… some really cool specials and a cheesecake that will make you cheat any diet!… the star are lovely and make you feel welcome!

Food was amazing and decor is really lovely! I would say sometimes service felt a little awkward (hence why I didn't go for 5!), but didn't impact the food we had at all. Rivals any of the big pizza joints in Manchester and the pumpkin/gorgonzola one was lovely. Great wine/pint as well!

Me and my Daughter love this place. Awesome pizza, friendly vibes and reasonably priced. Best pizza in Manchester.

Fantastic pizza, great service and great prices

One of the best Pizzas I’ve had! Fantastic little find!

Small but perfectly formed! The pizzas are amazing. I normally leave my crusts, but there was no way I was leaving these! I had the pepperoni and honey one - I'd never seen that combination but it really worked.

Always so good, definitely the best pizza in Manchester!

I've worked in some nice restaurants that do special 🍕 this was up there. Was impressed with the pizza base, quality dough. Toppings were just as good. I ordered a Calabrese and it didn't disappoint. Washed down with some locally brewed pale ale from Manchester. It was a hot day and I was shown to a little dining area out back away from the main road, a nice sun trap for the evening. Definitely visit.

Best pizzas around! Our fave is the pumpkin, 'Nduja and gorgonzola 😋

Manchester has some amazing pizza makers but Bakehouse is by far the absolute best. I live across the road from it and it’s very difficult not to have one every week.

When it comes to New York-style pizza in Manchester, there's a better known place that gets all the plaudits, but for me, Bakehouse 32 is vastly superior. If you live in Stretford you've got no excuse not to pay a visit, and if you live outside of Stretford, it's just across the road from the tram stop, so you've also got no excuse. Get yourselves down, the pizzas are something else....

Long overdue review, we've been going to Bakehouse 32 for a long time almost weekly and we love it. I'm italian and I can guarantee on the quality of their pizza 👌 dough is good, toppings are quality. Service is great, friendly and attentive. I also like their drinks and desserts. Thank you Bakehouse 32

Staff really nice and attentive, food was incredible, delicious wine 🍷. Would highly recommend

4 people 4 pizza's all came desperately with the first quarter eaten by the time the last one arrived. Tasty but short on toppings.

I've never had pizza as good as this. The best thing is we live just around corner! Perfect.

Probably one of the best pizza's in Manchester, especially the pepperoni and hot honey one

Awesome, tasty and great value pizza with a good beer selection. Always nicer and better for you than the big chains.

Fantastic fantastic place the 🍕 pizzas perfect 👌shared and tried a few all delicious. Also they have good variety of wine 🍷 to have with your pizza. The pizza full you up but don't miss the ice cream and they put what left in box for you. The staff so nice and friendly and make you feel comfortable with ordering your pizza you swop add reduce the topping to have the perfect pizza cooked to your choice.

Not sure what all the hype is about. Pizzas were very average and the service was painfully slow. It took 15 minutes for someone to take our order, a further 30 minutes for our olives to come out and a further 45 minutes for our pizzas. Won't be returning.

Delicious pizza and very friendly chef 🙂 Fully recommended this place 👍

Lovely pizzas, lots of flavour, nice and hot 🙂

Pizza is delicious. Great selection of booze. Lovely atmosphere and lovely staff. We are fussy and we rate this place 👍

Great pizzas akin to those eaten in Italy. my go to when I fancy a pizza

Delicious pizza, great vibe, good beer

Great pizza and nice craft beers too.

Great and delicious pizza. Amazing friendly staff and fantastic service

The owner of this place is a guy I know from years back. A lovely, naturally warm host with a million dollar smile. We were a big group booking which they handled with ease. Fantastic pizza and a great selection of reasonably priced beers and wines (rosé was lovely, kind of stuff you can drink all night). Great place earning a well deserved reputation in the local neighbourhood. Great to see a nice guy do so well. If you’ve not tried it already, get there for a slice as soon as possible.

Literally the best pizza I've ever tasted in the UK!! Amazing service on Marathon day despite being a few staff down. Would highly highly recommend this place. Great food,great wine great service. 👍

Best pepperoni pizza I've ever had, hands down.

Great place for breakfast. The bagels are delicious and the coffee is beautifully done. Really recommend! A place that puts the efforts in to serve homemade. Well done!

Best pizza in Manchester. Amazing and great, courteous service.

The pizza here is amazing...head and shoulders above the more famous Manchester pizza haunts like Rudis or doublezero, but at a fraction of the price and the staff are always friendly and generally happy to serve you lovely pizza

Very tasty but limited selection

Great food nice spot will go again and try the rest of the menu.

A hidden gem! Fantastic pizza, lovely staff, intimate ambience. We will definitely be returning for a breakfast bagel and a coffee soon! We went for no cheese options as we're vegan and the chef was very accommodating.

Amazing! Pizzas and bread to die for!! Would highly recommend.

Delicious pizzas, very tasty chewy bases. Quick friendly service, very clean and spacious inside with plenty of parking just behind, accessed from Dorset St. Generous portions and great prices. Easily better for quality and value than any other pizza restaurant or take away I've tried. Very highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing pizza, I'll be coming again!

Nice pizzas, friendly staff and cosy little cafe.

The best pizza in stretford. Easy. Service is faultless. 10/10.

Visited for an anniversary treat having had take out and brunch. Lovely friendly staff and a good atmosphere for either eating in or outside. Delicious garlic bread and pizza and very cool and refreshing beer - both alcoholic and alcohol free. Highly recommend a visit as well as take out and thank you for looking after us and cooking on the very hot day we visited.

Delicious pizzas - the pepperoni & hot honey pizza was a great twist on a classic. The Hippy Fizz canned cocktail I tried was delightful. Such a gorgeous can too! Lovely fresh ingredients and the service was prompt and friendly. I'd recommend booking a table though to avoid disappointment, especially later in the evening. Definitely will come back here & look forward to trying the bagels at lunch time.

Went here for brunch. Had a really nice grilled sandwich and coffee, and my partner loved her avocado and egg bagel. Really nice food, great service, very friendly staff. Would recommend to anyone wanting delicious fresh food
