Black Spot Pizza in Stockport

The BEST pizza in Manchester, by a mile. The dough is incredible - so light with a rich, deep flavour. The toppings are all amazing and top quality. My absolute favourite is the spiced lamb. It's genuinely not what I'd usually go for but now I can't order anything else. It's like if Dishoom and the best pizza place had a love child. Insane.

This is a great place not only do they have such amazing pizza but the staff is so friendly and they were amazing with my allergy kid ! They went above and beyond to accommodate and prepare her food to make her feel welcome. They were also amazing with my non allergic kid … she loved the ice cream toppings tray! Thank you

Great quality pizza and a decent selection of drinks. We're very lucky to have this place on the doorstep

What a fantastic place. Friendly staff. Unreal pizza and easily the best long island iced tea I have ever had. Great value too. 👍

fantastic pizza with excellent selection. been a few times now and service is always friendly and quick. great choice!

Enjoyable meal and beer ( more later) Pizza, was excellent. Lamb and mushrooms was excellent. On the beer, frozen glassed and easy to drink. Will be back

We enjoyed a lovely meal at Black Spot on Saturday. We shared garlic bread to start and my husband and son chose fennel sausage pizzas and I opted for the mushroom pizza. The sourdough is beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal, washed down with flavoured cider and draught beer in literally freezing cold glasses! Thanks for an amazing experience.

Went to Black Spot for tea on Friday 7 June and food, atmosphere, drinks and service were great as always. The Pizza Bread 2.0 with lemon and rosemary is a particular standout but the pizzas, we shared the salami and lamb, and the tiramisu were all fab too. James is a great host and we are looking forward to going back again.

I have never left a negative review for an eatery. However, memories of my experience here 6 months ago still really upsets me, which is why I finally decided to leave a review. I came here after an awful day attending a family funeral. I was solo parenting my newborn and 2 year old as my husband got shipped off abroad for a work emergency. My card wasn't working, and in the daze of the funeral I forgot to bring a spare. I apologised and explained about the awful day we were having, and offered to leave my personal details and return the next day to pay. Unfortunately, I was then treated with suspicion and made to feel like a criminal and was demanded to show proof of identity like a passport. I was in tears in front of other customers and my children. It was only after my daughter started crying that we were allowed to leave. When I returned the next day, I was told that they thought I was scamming them (for1 pizza and 1 non alcoholic beer). It saddens me that our society has lost compassion and trust, and we treat each other with suspicion instead of sympathy in these situations.

Hi James, Rhian is my daughter who frequents your authentic establishment often with her bff Nicole!! Personally I haven't had the pleasure yet of your amazing pizzas, I know how good they must be from what she tells me. On the strength of your replies to those who don't understand the industry it leaves me hungry to visit very soon, work commitments allowing as I work 24/07 as a home boarding for beautiful little pooches #doyouhaveadog 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😚

Our favourite pizza. Always ready within 30 min, amazing ingredients and flavours. Cocktails to match - James does everything to the best flavour. I'm working my way through the monthly specials :)

Went for an early dinner with family. Great ambiance and service (thanks James). The pizzas are flavoursome and freshly-made with quality toppings. Highly recommended.

Love this place!!!!! The pizza’s are always amazing and the atmosphere is great. The owner is really friendly and welcoming!! And let’s not forget the fantastic cocktails and ice cream!!!! Will 100 % be back soon!! A great addition to Heaton Mersey

Even when its quiet there is always a good atmosphere, great food and friendly service from James every time. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for pizza locally!

Firstly the food here is great and probably the best pizza we've had since visiting Naples last summer. I also really dislike badmouthing local businesses but honestly I'm still shocked at a comment I received yesterday. Visited for Valentine's Day and celebratory meal with my other half, unfortunately the server (and owner?) decided we'd much prefer to spend half the time speaking with him. He repeatedly walked over, interrupted, made constant jokes, sarcastic and strange comments and was extremely overly-familiar. He asked my partner why he wasn't drinking alcohol - which is none of anyone's business and the answer could be any number of sensitive reasons. He interrupted us at one point to tell me to stop dancing to the music which was a joke but... a weird one. I asked for food to boxed up and he called it the 'box of shame'. The thing which solidified why we won't be returning (and I'm honestly still so stunned by) is when paying for the bill he asked 'who's the unlucky one paying', and I said its from our joint account so its split. He then said directly to me "ah thats good for you then, you won't need to put out tonight". How bizarre to speak to a female customer about her sex life. I'm no prude but it was completely misjudged and idiotic. Won't be returning. Only go if you like misogyny as a pizza topping.

Great vegan food, drinks and atmosphere. Waiter was charismatic and super helpful in helping choose pizzas and cocktails

We’ve been meaning to go here for ages and when we finally did it didn’t disappoint. The food is amazing, with some really interesting (and delicious!) variations such as the Asian lamb to go with the usual classics. Add to that incredible cocktail, great service and some good banter with the staff and it shows why it’s got the reviews it has. Impossible to fault really

Great little neighbourhood restaurant with a real cocktail bar feel .. the lighting and dark wood enhance the atmosphere ! James made us feel very welcome and the food and service was excellent.. we ended up leaving with an additional take-away for our friends who walked past and wanted to try the food… extensive cocktail menu and we really enjoyed the Blue Ribbon beer 🍺… will be giving the cocktails a try next time we visit!

Have visited Black Spot several times now and never fail to have a brilliant time there. The food is incredible, gorgeous soft base, fresh pizza. The cocktails are really quality and there's an impressive range of them on the menu for such a small place. It's cosy and stylish in there - I brought a large group to the restaurant for a birthday get together and it was just ideal. I even got a special birthday surprise on the house - they go the extra mile! Cherry on the cake there is the service from owner, James, who enjoys charming his guests with his good humour. We feel lucky to have this gem on our little Heaton Mersey high street and 100% recommend, it's the kind of place we'd happily travel to visit. Thanks very much, see you again soon!

New to the area and have already been twice! Great atmosphere, lovely cocktails and tasty pizza. Would recommend the Pizza Bread 2.0 which is simple but delicious.

Really nice cocktails and food. Pizza was a good size and fairly priced, with quick service. Will definitely be going again.

Best pizza around , Probably a Ruddys beater and local too for anyone in the heatons - Great dough , Great service and ace beer 🍺 and wine 🍷

Been here twice now. Recently moved to the area and it's a lovely place to have on the doorstep. Good food and great service. Thanks for the lovely meals

Enjoyed the meal. Only went as had been told it had vegan options, even though that's not clear on the menu. I found the menu and ordering stressful as you have to work it all out yourself. We (2 vegans) were told at the restaurant that some things can be made vegan, but we need to work out the menu and what swaps we want. There's option to pay for vegan cheese and add veggie toppings but no list of what they are, he told us we had to read all the other pizzas to see what they had and then add them onto a pizza. Would be nice to not have to work when going out for a meal, it isn't somewhere I'd take a group of vegan friends. Just a few purpose vegan options, a list of veggies that can be added. Misleading that the website says 50% of the menu can be vegan, most pizza have meat on. Took away from the experience of going out for a meal together. What we had was nice, would recommend the olives and rosemary bread starter.

By far our favourite pizza place. Lovely service and phenomenal pizza. Love the Rosemary Garlic Bread, Salami pizza with Hot Honey and the Pineapple sorbet (unbelievably good). The beer comes in frosted glasses and the cocktails/mocktails are always amazing. They do an early deal too, which is a complete bargain! We are lucky enough to live local. But worth a drive.

Had a really strange experience here today. My 2 sisters, baby niece and I came to eat there today, and from the moment we walked in the door, the manager (who I assume is also the owner) was quite passive aggressive towards us. We had a small mix up about the reservation date a couple days prior which could be why he treated us so coldly and made uncomfortable 'jokes', or it could be due to the fact that I, along with one of my sisters, wear a headscarf. Regardless, we felt really uncomfortable due to his cold demeaner and really unfunny comments. A family came in not long after us and it was almost laughable how different he treated them, totally relaxed and welcoming. We were really close to leaving but my niece was hungry and cranky. Definitely won't be going back though. I don't appreciate seeing my family treated like that, especially when we have a baby present. Such an uncomfortable experience.

We were made to feel welcome from moment we arrived, great pizza, great cocktails and great staff. The festive pizza special should be a mainstay, by far the best pizza I’ve had in a long time. Also worth staying late for the late night happy hour, the chocolate orange espresso martini is unreal, a highlight from the many great cocktails we had! Will be booking again shortly. Cheers.

Spot on Really enjoyed it Coming back again for sure

The best pizza in Manchester/Stockport and probably anywhere! We get take out a lot but this time we ate in. The food was amazing as it always is and James is really friendly and funny. We will be loyal customers forever!

Decided to venture out of the city centre and was not disappointed. We had the Christmas special and the jerk chicken pizza with the burrata starter + a few cocktails and all of it blew us away. Top quality food and service with a 10/10 dinks menu, will be returning!

We come here often, always impressed with the banter and impeccable service as well as the pizza, This time I ventured out of my comfort zone and tried the special, Christmas themed, my mind was blown, the bet pizza Around! Beats every pizza place in Manchester ! Cannot recommend this place enough! James the host is just brilliant,

If you want quality food from quality ingredients at an amazing price, it is the place to go.

Love this place. Decided to be tempted away from my favourite lamb pizza by the festive special pizza & I was not disappointed. Paired this with a delicious cocktail. All fabulous. There’s always such a nice atmosphere at Black Spot, it’s so worth a visit!

Napolitan pizza??? What a insult!!! Gummy dough, super salty, no origano, no oil, disgusting blah. We also order buffalo mozzarella and they bring a normal mozzarella? I don't know why the other people leave a so amazing review about this place. Ah one more thing, very noisy place we struggling a lot talking because of the loud music and a lot of drunk people shouting and laughing make this place a mess. I don't expect a museum but this is too much.

Amazing Pizza, Probably a Ruddys beater and local too - Great dough , Great service and well humored staff

Food was absolutely amazing the nicest pizza I have ever had! I was gutted I was driving because the drinks menu especially the cocktails sound amazing. Service was excellent, great value for money. I can’t recommend Black Spot Pizza enough I will definitely be back!

Decided to pay this place a visit after spotting it a few times on my walks. Great and quick service, but what really impressed me was the food. We got the special, a butter chicken one, and the lamb one: the toppings were super tasty and the base was good. The cocktails were also really nice and it's a shame I couldn't stay longer to try some more. Definitely a good find!

Great service, great food and great drinks. 100% recommended. Had the special which was very good. Great gluten free bases

Always brilliant food, and a great atmosphere. We had three kids with us, and the guy serving was really good with them and his service was excellent 👍

Just been to this Pizza parlour this evening Fab food Great welcome and chat with James Thankyou We will be back for sure Julie and Pete ☺️

Pizza is absolutely incredible here, we've been here a few times now and it's fast becoming our go-to local spot. As well as pizza, the drink selection and quality is amazing and James is a top, top man - always making us feel welcome and bringing the banter. 10/10 all round.

The food was fantastic, the drinks were even better and the service was possibly the best we've ever had. Such a friendly place with top-class pizza, highly recommend it!

Black spot pizza has the best service and quality food. I am a frequent visitor to this establishment and will continue to be so. The food is prepared fresh and is absolutely delicious. The service element of every visit is fantastic too - 10/10 would...

Delicious pizza with the family

Had a fantastic family meal at Blackspot, the best pizza I have had in a long time. We will definitely returning. The service was also excellent.

Amazing food , top service and James who served us the past couple of times we have been there is absolutely brilliant and also quite the comedian. Best gluten free pizza I’ve had bar far , I’ve had their normal pizza before I was gluten free and it’s the best pizza I have ever had, I crave it on a regular basis 👌😁

10/10 as always - the service is phenomenal, menu perfectly crafted and there’s a top notch drinks selection. Couldn’t ask for a better night out which is why it’s a regular for us. Had the delight this time of trying the pineapple sorbet, unreal delicious!

Visited one Saturday evening as six adults and two children. The pizzas were absolutely delicious as were the cocktails and the service was excellent! It was clearly communicated before booking that the pizzas would come out staggered due to the order and it worked perfectly!...

Visited with family for a celebration. Fantastic food and service. Great drinks and wine. We will be back - couldn’t ask for more. Thank you

Nice cocktails and the special was amazing

Great Pizza with Great Service, combined with a Great Price. We often visit the Black Spot Pizza and the quality of the food and service has never disappointed us.

This place is amazing. Brilliant pizza and best cocktails I've ever had. The owner was so nice and very funny. We will be back.

WOW! The best pizza I have ever had, the dough is amazing and the toppings are delicious. Truly dreamy gelato for pudding too. The service is excellent and the cocktails are out of this world!! Oh and try the olives the are gorgeous!

Absolutely amazing pizza, lots of choice and fantastic cocktails. Service was faultless water glasses were never empty and plates were cleared promptly. Can't recommend enough. PS if you like olives you must try the ones here. Will definitely be visiting again. 😋

We had a lovely evening here last Saturday. James was so welcoming and the pizza was delicious ! There was also a wide range of cocktails to choose from - I was spoilt for choice. The music play list really added to the atmosphere and...

Really super evening here. Great choices of pizza, something for everyone and all so fresh too. James was so attentive and aware of who asked for what, makes such a lovely difference. Thank you, will definitely be back!

As usual a fantastic evening the BEST pizza around and fabulous cocktails and that’s even before i even mention the service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I think I’ve only ever written one review on this platform before but felt compelled to put pen to paper as it were, to beat the drum for quite possibly the best pizzeria in our green and pleasant land, although last night we still travelled...

Following a recommendation we visited. Black Spot Pizza with my in laws and youngest (aged 8). The welcome was really warm and we had a quick drink before being shown to our table. Service was prompt and friendly and the menu was perfect for us....

This is now the, we think the 4th visit to Black spot! We are always made to feel welcome and James is always very helpful and attentive. The Pizza has always been very tasty and I regularly try the special. We will definitely be back.

Very fresh, tasty pizzas. The dough on its own is delicious. We also had cocktails from a very impressive cocktail list, all of which were beautifully prepared and very tasty. I had the Black Spot Old Fashioned which I would recommend. Three of us got...

Always a pleasure to visit Blackspot. Always great food and a fab drinks selection. James is an excellent host, always very welcoming. Been many times and will continue to do so.

First visit to this place and certainly won’t be the last. Superb food and service in a relaxed setting.

Came here with some friends for dinner and we had an great time. Pizzas were delicious, loads of different flavours, and the cocktail menu was second to none - really fun addition to our meal. We'll definitely be coming back again to try more! Big shout-out to our server too, he had a wicked sense of humor and was clearly an expert on everything being served. If you want a evening of good food in a relaxed atmosphere, this one's for you.

Great visit as always. Pizza’s were fabulous & the service was exceptional as normal. Great selection of wines and beers. We’ll be back soon. Thanks James!

Some of the best service I've ever encountered, our host had a great sense of humour. The pizzas were delicious and there is an extensive range of cocktails that range from the crazy to the refined. Will definitely be coming back here. Would highly recommend for food, drinks and vibes. 🍹🍕 Phill & Angie

Great little place for quality pizza. I had amazing service!

Best pizza place around . Pizzas are so goddam delicious, garlic bread with cheese is a must !Eat here regularly never had a better pizza and James is always friendly and welcoming.

Near Neapolitan style Pizza, with a more western style dough. Toppings are deli quality, with a great craft beer selection. Drinks were served in pre-chilled glass handle bar glasses which was a really nice touch. Definitely coming back.

As always a great experience. Great food and service, not to mention an excellent choice of music!

Nice pizza. James made us feel welcome.

Service was exceedingly good, the pizza less so (and the garlic bread was overly salty). Each pizza arrived with a very soggy undercarriage, resulting in total "tip-sag", a strange mouthfeel and an overall feeling of stodginess. Yes, Neapolitan pizza traditionally does sag, but they usually do not have as many toppings that end up steaming the dough. Lovely atmosphere, though!

We booked a table for three for last Saturday night. The pizzas were amazing as was the service. There is a huge variety of different types of wine. Great atmosphere, we highly recommend this restaurant.

(Family of 2 adults with 2 boys aged 9 and 7) Ended up eating at Black Spot Pizza as a chance / last minute booking but sometimes these are the best types. Great decor, very friendly staff, cool playlist, ice cold beer and very good pizza. We all shared the antipasti, and adults ordered the Spicy and Goats Cheese pizzas, pint of Neck Oil and white wine. Kids had the well priced (£9) kids meal of pizza, ice cream and unlimited drinks. We all left very happy with the food and experience and would recommend Black Spot to anyone who enjoys their pizza 🍕

Absolutely fantastic! We were struggling to find anywhere with availability for a good pizza on a Saturday night, and then I stumbled across this place on Google, none of us had ever heard of it or been there but I rang up to see if...

We’ve been meaning to visit Black Spot for ages, and we finally got round to it last night. James knew the name our booking was under when we walked in which was a really nice touch, as was the chilled glass for the beer. The...

What a lovely restaurant, full of good vibes , laughs and a great atmosphere, black spot is definitely one of the best pizza spots I have ever visited ! The service was exceptional , and the food was PHENOMENAL!!! 10/10 would recommend ! I am...

I frequently visit Black Spot Pizza with both family and friends; every visit, without exception, is fantastic. The pizza is amazing - there are many (very good) pizzerias closer to where I live but I purposefully choose to go out of my way to Black...

The best pizza around and great service as always - Ham and Pineapple special was brill - should be a permanent menu choice!

Me and my partner found this place and absolutely loved it! The pizza was incredibly delicious (We are fussy when it comes to authentic Neapolitan pizza) and I absolutely LOVED the cocktails. They were made so well and there was so many options. James was...

Pizza is always consistently excellent, James the front of house provides excellent personal service. We visit as often as we can, cannot recommend the lamb pizza highly enough!

We got a late dinner for 2 on a Friday night. The restaurant wasn't crowded and our server was attentive but not too much so. Decorated beautifully and free parking across the road. The food was delicious and our total bill for 2 mains, a...

Fantastic selection of wine and cocktails. Too hard to pick my favourite pizza- they are all delicious. Highly recommended!

Excellent service, excellent food, excellent cocktails! We all had a great night and will definitely be back.

I'd contacted the restaurant to make a booking for my daughter's 18th birthday celebration about a week and a half prior to attending this Saturday. For some reason he then became spooked and sent what purported to be a link for a deposit to be...

What's not to like about Black Spot? There's an excellent choice of drinks and pizza toppings. The atmosphere in the restaurant is always great and the host is very accommodating. Will be visiting again soon!

The Pizzas are delicious. You can either choose from the regular menu or you can select one of their special pizzas. The special pizzas tend to be super delicious. Enjoy the environment and the customer service. We visit at least twice a month. Well worth...

Great place - went there a few months ago on the way to the cinema, messed up our timings and they were super helpful getting us the food really quickly. They had a really good looking wine list and also a properly interesting whisky list, need to go back and sample it properly!

Tasty pizza what more do you want from a pizza place. The service is also warm and welcoming. No hot drinks so unfortunately no after dinner coffee

Pizza was great, cheesy garlic bread was belting and the drinks were on a great offer! Good value, staff were very welcoming and we will definitely be going back!

Visited early evening on a Friday having just moved to the area. Excellent pizza, good wine list, excellent service. Will be going back.....

Great restaurant. Good quality pizza. Service with a smile. Can't ask for more.

Amazing pizzas! This was our first time visiting Black Spot pizza and we were really impressed. The pizzas were delicious, the service was great and a lovely atmosphere- will definitely be back

Small friendly pizza restaurant serving a range of toppings on a great base. Good wine list. Excellent friendly but non intrusive service. On my list if go to eateries now

The host is fantastic, remembered us from our previous visit. The music is excellent. We had a garlic bread to share which was delicious and both had the special. We will be back very soon x 100/10

We just love it here, everything is on point. The music, the service, and that's before we even mention the the food! The pizza is by far the best we've had; so lucky to have it on our doorstep. Highly recommended by people who love...

Bit dull inside, could do with some real plants, better music and not be so over bearing by the guy who works there. It’s got a very creepy hotel vibe.
