I was very disappointed with my recent visit to the pizzeria. The service was slow, the food was poor quality, and the prices were excessive. I certainly will not be returning anytime soon.

Must admit I only found Davardi's when dating my then Girlfriend, now wife, in the mid 80's. I remember if you phoned a say 6pm your pizza would be ready for 8-30pm. This is not a criticism this is really how busy the place is. I have never had a better Pizza ever, before or since. I live in Spain now, and have always tried to try a Pizza from reviews but honestly they have never compared to Davardi's. I'm back to the UK next week and make a point of getting over for one

Davardis has been around as long as me, and that should tell you something! Yes most great things were created in the 70s. Called in a couple of weeks ago to eat in, and we weren't disappointed. I decided to go for the Irish and the other half had the special, which was a meaty option. Pizzas came out quite quickly and hot. They were also eaten quite quickly as they were so tasty! It is no wonder that this fabulous little place has survived so long. 😊 The staff are friendly, the service is fabulous and the pizzas are out of this world! They also run as a takeaway too. Just one thing to note the restaurant section is not licensed so if you want to have a drink with your pizza uou can bring your own bottle and glasses if preferred. However we just had soft drinks in the glass tumblers provided.

I've been coming here for over 40 years, and suppose I've just taken it for granted. However, my sister and grandkids came up to visit from Devon, and i suggested pizza for a treat. The kids all loved the thinness of the base with the lush toppings, and my sister has put in an order for me to take some down next time i visit. She reminded me it was her that took me there for my very first time many, many years ago, and that the pizza's are still as tasty now as they were back then. Think i need to try one again this weekend 🤔

Well...what can I say? My uncle has been coming here since he was a kid and has always raved about it (they've been open 50+ years). They definitely keep it old skool with limited web presence, not even a working website and they only open 4 nights a week, it's definitely one of those places where if you know, you know 🤪 I finally got to go with him and the family to eat lots and lots of pizza for a family member's birthday meal and oh it didn't disappoint!! We tried lots of different ones and they were all really good. Nice and fresh, thin crisp bases with loads of flavour. The service was brilliant too. Hope to be back soon to try some more pizzas.

After being told these were the best pizzas etc, place a take away order. Obviously a busy place with a small restaurant area at the rear. My order consisted of two Garlic breads, two Pizza's and side's. The garlic breads were at best average, the pizza was very poor, ingredients tasted cheap, the cheese absolutely tasteless. The only upside was the side coleslaw, which apart from being in a polystyrene cup was very nice. Overall for over £45 it was vastly overpriced. Sorry but i won't be returning.

La primera vez que comí pizza de Davardi en 1973 y solía venir de forma regular. Sin embargo, había pasado bastante tiempo desde la última vez que estuve, sabía que había cambiado de propietario hace unos años, ya que había conocido a miembros de la familia del nuevo propietario durante las vacaciones. Me complació mucho descubrir que, aunque las cosas se habían actualizado, el espíritu original de Davardi todavía estaba presente. Menú bastante simple 'pero con muchas opciones de topping de pizza. El comedor estaba ocupado, pero se las arreglaron para acomodarnos. Hubo una corta espera por la comida ya que era un sábado por la noche muy ocupado. La comida era tan buena como siempre. El proyecto de ley llegó a un precio razonable de 29. 90 para una pizza de pan de ajo, gambas al ajillo, 1 pizza alemana mediana, 1 pizza especial de davardi mediana y 2 refrescos. Volveremos, ojalá con más frecuencia.

Lo que pasó con davardis? ? Una vez una auténtica experiencia italiana. Ahora un insulto a la cultura italiana que una vez fue. El quiche pizza/era cubierto con queso Cheddar añejado? ? Lo que sucedió. Y sobre el tema de las albóndigas. Por favor alguien podría dejar un sabor texto porque evidentemente no recibe un invito a este desagradable y caro tomate partido sauceless. Podría alguien por favor explicar como 2 porciones de la patata sin sabor amargo que igual cuñas hasta toda una spud se pueden cargar en el desorbitado precio de 7 libras y 50 pence? ? ?

We visited with friends and found the whole experience great...the pizzeria appears family run and you can either sit in to eat or order take away...We sat in in the small seated area at the back and ordered our food... this area is relatively small (with tables almost on top of each other) but i must say this adds to the atmosphere and all in the room were quite chatty & jolly... the added bonus of this place is you can brink your own drinks in eg beers, wine, etc at no extra cost, so are just paying for the food...The food is great - freshly made to order... mainly pizzas (obviously) of which there must be a choice of about 15... but also various pasta choices like spagetti bolognese, lasagne, canneloni, pasta bake, etc... plus side orders such as salads, potatoes, & garlic breads... there are also a few desserts like tiramisu to enjoy if you have room after your mains...All meals we ate this time (and those we've had before) were very tasty and reasonably priced... plus the service was excellent... It's a pity the room to eat in is not a little bigger as i'm sure the demand for the quality food on offer would see it filled no matter how big it was...Overrall, this place is a hidde gem and well worth a visit to try the ace food and great service, with the added benefit of being allowed to bring your own booze...

Just had one of the worst meals I've never eaten at this place. I can't believe that anyone would think this is a good place to eat at - where the hell have they been???I had garlic mushrooms that looked like they'd shrunken in the fridge before being cooked and my husband had mum's been to Iceland looking prawns. Followed by two pizzas which looked exactly the same, burnt toppings with a barely cooked base. We could only distinguish between the two by the supposed 'meatballs' on one of them, which resembled (and tasted like) what I imagine Pedigree chum would to a dog! The place is dingy, dark and in dire need of a good clean. In the midst of not eating, a lady walked through the 'restaurant ' wearing yellow rubber gloves and carrying two buckets past the 'diners' maybe these were sick buckets from previous customers!!! The girl who served us was pleasant enough but that's the only positive thing I can think of to say about Davardi's. Maybe it's the 'bring your own booze' thing that attracts people here, because it certainly cannot be the sub-standard fare that they serve. In fact, if you want a similar experience, pop down to Iceland, buy some two for one pizzas, go home, turn all the lights off, turn your oven on full, burn the pizzas to a crisp and tuck in - and save yourself £35 in the process!!!

It's a family run pizzeria and they always make customers feel welcome. I really can't praise this place enough, they have everything right. I wish more restaurants would follow their lead and realise that if their customers are happy, then they will keep coming back and will recommend it to others. They also deliver and their deliver guy 'Steve' is brilliant, very friendly and happy. We are going again tonight.

strewth, i must have been eating at Davardis for nearly 25 years, hard to improve on what can only be considered as tried, tested, and faultless in quality and service in pleasant surroundings

I have been going to Davaris since the early 1970. The food has always been lovely and never had to complain about anything. You can take your own alcoholic drinks in, which is nice. The place itself is a little small, but nice. Can't wait to go again.

This dine in - take away you can take your own drinks in with you.It has been open over 30 years and has to produce some of the tastiest Pizza and pasta dishes for miles around.Inside is also a dine in area that is always busy.This place is always worth a visit.

The pizzas are one of a kind here, not your average offering. I have been eating there or getting a take out pizza for the last 44 years. Each pizza is named after a country and don't really bear any relationship with that counrty, it's sort of quaint. All are delicious and a large on is a challenge ! They don't serve alcohol but encourage you to take your own (no corkage charge) I can't begin to tell you how different they are, you have to try one to believe it. Davardis opened in 1971 - there were no other pizza restaurants in the Manchester area at that time - and have been going strong ever since. They will be opening a new restaurant ( a first for them ) in Monton, Eccles very shortly. Can't wait as it's on my doorstep.

I loved my visit to Davardis! I went with a group of 8 and it was a great way to start our night. We took our own alcohol and accommodated a table for the evening. Friendly staff and good pizza. The girls loved the pasta too. Others in the group described the pizza as 'too cheesey' but how can a pizza have too much cheese? Will be going back in the future!

Have been here several times before and it never fails to impress. It is cheap and cheerful as a BYO restaurant and it is always busy. Staff are friendly and I can recommend the Irish with pepperoni and salami

...and that's saying something since I've eaten a fair few over the years! Seriously though, if we'd wanted burnt cheese on toast I could have just made it at home and saved twenty odd quid. We ordered three pizzas from here to takeaway and 2 of them were not just well done but actually burnt and inedible. I can't believe someone actually took them out of the oven and thought they were fit to give to a paying customer. First time ordering here and we won't be going back.

It was ok, we got a takeaway so I can't vouch for the restaurant.It is like home made pizza and rustic style so not comparable to pizza hut or dominoes, which we are not keen on anyway.Really surprised though that the cheese used on the pizzas tastes like cheddar......On the menu it says 'cheese' so my mistake to assume its mozzarella but we were a bit shocked. The cheese made the overall taste like cheese on toast or a meatball sub, and the cheese did not stay melty it sort of hardened just like cheese on toast.

After many years of my husband saying how good this place was & after using Pizza Hut & Dominoes - we decided to give it a try. Rang at 6.30pm on Saturday night to be told collection time would be no earlier than 8.50 pm! Obvs we went elsewhere - wanted tea not supper!. The following week we had friends over so decided to order in pizza - I went Pizza Hut which as always was delicious, he went to Davardi's. To say it was disappointing would be an understatement ... Barely warm when collected, now in a standard box & not the old foil wrapping which gave it it's individuality, much thicker crust - used to be super thin & crispy. It also had hardly any topping on except the meatballs. Half of it went in the bin & they are not cheap either! Also had the Italian potatoes - again no where near as good as previous & a much smaller portion. Won't be going back. Sorry! Pizza Hut all the way !

The warm glow creates an ambiance that draws you in on a chilly winter night, the tantalising smell arouses the senses and the queue of people confirms that this is going to be a food experience that will leave it's mark on your memory.Having been away for 15 years I was worried it couldn't be as good as I rememberedHowever we were met by smiles from a staff made of family members all eager to please. We ordered an American and an Irish with extra olives. It did not fail to deliver, with each bite we were transported back 15 - 20 years. Every happy memory flooded back. The food is delicious, the pizza bases are thin and the toppings thick. The center - soft and the edge - crispy. This is absolute pizza perfection. The price is comparable with other pizza restaurants (if not slightly cheaper). Taking your own alcoholic beverage is a bonus and the small 'dine in' room provides an intimate dining experience which must be savored just like the food. Please take time to delight in the dining experience that is Davardi's.

its been over 10 years since I've been here as I don't live in the area anymore but as soon as I walked in tonight and smelt the amazing food I knew It hadn't changed a bit - it still looks the same and the pizza is still gorgeous together with the garlic bread and Italian potatoes. I read some reviews re the prices but I disagree - you get what you pay for and other well known pizza companies are well more expensive and not half as tasty - in the words of Arnie "I'll be back" ...... Probably next weekend !!!!

Awful pizza definitely not freshly made, better quality pizzas you can buy in Morrisons 2 for 5, absolutely don’t get folded there were practically no toppings , this place saves money even on cheese
