Honest Crust Wood Fired Pizza in Trafford

Live in Altrincham and been coming to the market for years. Visited at lunchtime with the family on Sat 5th Oct. Ordered three pizzas and waited an hour. Frustrating as people who arrived after us received their pizzas before us so something was wrong with the order the kitchen was making the pizzas. While the pizzas are tasty, they aren’t the cheapest and not worth waiting an hour for. Plenty of competition in Altrincham so we’ll be going elsewhere in future. Disappointing.

Nice atmosphere and lots of great value filling food

Wifi sucks but the pizza’s amazing! Staff were super-friendly too.

Garlic bread absolutely insane, deffo a reoccurrence :D!!!

Popped into the Market for some lunch and we all decided to have pizza. Friendly staff, a good menu with lots of choice and the most gorgeous pizzas - fresh with great ingredients. We also shared a garlic bread and all agreed it was the best one we have ever had.

We ordered the garlic bread with cheese and it came drenched in green pesto - not what we ordered and not what it states on the menu. After questioning the chef he was extremely rude telling us it’s a “surprise” and laughing when I walked away. Absolutely disgusting behaviour and manor to speak to a customer. Never again. Hopefully they might take their service a little more serious after seeing this post so they don’t harm anyone with allergies!!

Oh dear what has gone wrong at Altrincham Market? The pizza’s from Honest Crust were honestly awful and hugely disappointing. 2 pizzas for £25 and they were soggy, undercooked, not well cut and unappetising. Very very disappointing. When we mentioned this to the server who we’d pre- tipped on the app we were given the cold shoulder and told she couldn’t help.

26/03/24: Atomica pizza with a side of skin on fries 31/01/24: had the Atomica pizza again, but sadly no extra hot honey to add to it! Based in Altrincham Market. Been many times and always enjoyo Honest Crust pizzas. This time we shared the Atomica. Spicy n'duja, mozzarella, tomatoes & basil. Always freshly prepared on the best sourdough. Woodfired pizza oven, producing the tastiest crust!

Tis the place I had the the creamiest pizza of my life and it felt so good . Richard carver is the nicest human bean on planet Mars bar.

Their woodoven fired pizzas and true italian flavored pizzas are delicious. Special shoutout to the ‘save the bees’ pizza with pepperoni, Parmesan and some tasty honey. Simple but tasty, as pizza should be tasting.

Lovely pizza, fresh and delicious

Thoroughly enjoyed my salami pizza. Demolished.

Went for the first time today, and was recommended the 'roasted squash and harissa' pizza, made by Ross and the team. It was literally the best pizza I have ever had. I would highly recommend it. Hopefully it will end up a permanent addition to the menu!

Unfortunately you can only order pizza via the app. Very customer-unfriendly if you are rarely here. Unfortunately the Cesar salad is much worse than it used to be. The price has increased and there were no anchovies and croutons on our small salad.

Sadly I found the pizza crust to be limp, undercooked and low on flavour. My small cesar salad, advertised as including “anchovies” came with just one! A bit stingy I felt. The server seemed unsympathetic and uninterested when politely challenged on this, merely saying she would pass my feedback onto the owner. I felt unvalued as a customer. Shame :(

Quality good, but becoming a bit of a rip off, paid £17 for a pepperoni with some added olives. Sizes of pizza now are getting smaller and smaller and prices are getting steeper, no kids options. Considering other places you pay £15 for the most expensive pizza which are much bigger, plus they provide full table service no justification. Owners have become too greedy.

visited as part of the Altrincham Market - great pizza, lots of strong flavours (nice kick of spice) and the garlic dip was to die for! definitely would go back again.

***Updated after feedback from owner. My partner was told by the person that he spoke to that the hot sauce would be £4, definitely not the £1.70 stated below. I'm sorry we didn't get his name, otherwise we would provide it. It now seems as though you are questioning our honesty, which I must say doesn’t sit too well with us... Tasty pizza, but customer service wasn't great. We'd paid £11 for a margarita, and when the waitress came over we asked for some hot sauce to go with it. She said we'd need to get it from where we ordered, and when my partner asked the guy from Honest Crust, they asked him to pay £4 for it! My partners reply was quite rightly "I want a few drops on my pizza, not buy the bottle!" and so they gave us some chilli oil for free. I just think if you're paying £11 for a basic pizza the condiments should come as part of the dish.

quick, freshly baked pizza. The tomato sauce on pizza is very nice!

We ordered the herb fed roast chicken sandwich as a light bite to share. It was terrible, cold and hard stuffing that tasted like falafel, a small amount of chicken and very chewy bread. For £11 is was a rip off. Maybe the pizzas would be better.

Honest Crust has a very interesting and creative range of Pizzas on their menu as well as all the classics. We had the vegan rose harrisa and cavelo nero pizza which was excellent. Base was perfectly cooked and charred. Some of the best pizza I've eaten in the North west. Had minor issue with our order which the team handled professionally and politely and were all excellent to deal with.

Quick, Fresh and Packed with flavour. The best garlic bread I've had in a very long time

This place has never disappointed me, but the Caesar salad leaves a lot to be desired, it is the most depressing thing I have ever eaten in my life, the dressing has no flavor at all, is just a bottle of salad dressing. The only good and that you can enjoy are the croutons, They should sell them separately to eat them as snacks.

Wow stunning Margherita pizza and garlic bread Staff very helpful as it was our 1st time here as we were staying over to get a flight from Manchester

Called for lunch on Tues 1st March. My partner and I decided to share a pizza and food from other outlets. Pizza was great...BUT, the attitude that one of the guys behind the counter had was terrible. No manners (which cost nothing), no enthusiasm and it was like he didn't want to be there and then full of condescending sarcasm when my partner asked him a question. Wish I'd have spent my money elsewhere!!

Absolutely banging, what a belter of a pizza

Fab pizzas really good flavour and great base. No waiting around the pizza arrived quickly. Great choice

We visited today and was very disappointed. The pizza was cold and uncooked.. Was watery/greasy. We left feeling abit sick after the couple of slices we tried to eat. I would have normally returned the food but it was too busy.. That's £25 wasted...

Honestly some of the best pizza I've had which just keeps us coming back for more. The flavours are well balanced and you can taste the quality of the ingredients. If you love pizza you need to try Honest Crust.

Atomica Pizza sounded great. £12.00. I’ll have that. Receipt showed £12.50. Mentioned discrepancy to member of staff. “Ok. I’ll sort that out”. Next thing chalk board is changed to £12.50! Erm. ILLEGAL!! and more than a touch of Dishonest Pizza. Could report you but do me a favour will you? Put the 50p in a charity box somewhere. Only 50p but it really put me off my pizza.

The market where is located is so nice, full of good options! The pizza was good, tomato based was not authentic enough.

45+ minute wait for a pizza, says it all.

Poor quality Neapolitan-like pizza. Go to Tre Ciccio instead, at least they can make it round.

Lovely Pizza cooked in a wood fired oven. There are a small number of Pizzas the always offer such as Margharita and then a choice that vary from time to time. My personal favourite is the Bianca (covered in lots of gooey cheese.

We enjoy hanging out. Yesterday we went to this magnificent restaurant which we didn’t know before. We spent a beautiful time there with fine dishes and a courteous team and a professional cook. We put this venue in our list and we will certainly return soon. We highly recommend.

Last week was our first time we visited this restaurant. But It is absolutely not the last time. We had great time with the good service, with the superb cooking and fine drinks and with the modest pay. We will no doubt return there in a short time.

Always loved Honest Crust's pizza. Ingredients of great quality with beautiful and delicious crust on every pizza. Prices are slightly higher compared restaurant with similar offering though, especially for the locating of the establishment.

This spot is great! Good rates, big portions and the staff are consistently super nice.

Very well organised and accessible place. They serve generous meals and for fair rates. I liked the food a lot and the staff members were very attentive and chatty. I recommend this place.

Lovely tasty pizza, as authentic as they come. Really good base, full of flavour and unique. The mushroom pizza is the best I've ever had and the Save the Bees pizza comes highly recommended. Good spicy kick from the chilli honey. Can't wait to go again!

The food is always fresh and delicious, employees provides excellent service. I love how clean it is and vibes. Highly recommended.

All the pizzas were freshly cooked in a wood burning oven. There was a lot of choice, even a pizza with kale on! You order at the market counter, give your table number and it took about 10 minutes for beautiful, thin crust pizza to arrive.

Nice experience and the pizzas were lovely! It took us awhile to find the place though :)

This place is extraordinary and broad, the menu was delightful and the rates were very affordable. fast, efficient service and very welcoming waiters. I highly recommend this place.

I have been here many times and it's just sooo good... i also love the olives. No complaints from the kids either.

We ate here after going to the cinema nearby. It’s a quirky venue, inside Altrincham food market. Stalls sit round the outside with tables in the middle. You place your order and then the pizza is brought over to you - ours took about 15 mins. The pizza was really tasty - great, puffy crust, tasty tomato sauce, and excellent salami. However it was let down by the fact that the sauce is very sloppy and wet. This makes the whole pizza base really soggy; with the exception of the crust it was like eating a floppy pancake! Not worth the money in my option - £11 is a lot for a sub standard pizza.

Brilliant pizza. Dough is so good and ingredients are fresh. Atmosphere is lovely. Highly recommended.

Terrible service! Would not let me order an extra topping on a pizza, even when I was prepared to pay for it. Obnoxious attitude from staff member and manager.

Lovely Pizza. Delicious. Really great dough.

We visited the food market at the weekend with a group of friends, following a very damp day at the races! We all seemed to choose Honest Crust and we were not disappointed! The flavours were intense and the crust was incredibly! Would recommend 😊

My wife and I visited at lunchtime on Friday. We had a Margherita and a Portobello Mushroom pizzas. The wait time was around 5 minutes. The pizzas were really nicely done. A crispy crust, a soft base and delicious toppings. The mushrooms were plentiful, unlike the experience of some previous reviewers. The pizzas are not immense but tasty. The market can be noisy at times, but the waitstaff do a great job.

Visited the Mackie Mayor in Manchester, was treated to lovely pizza at the Honest Crust stall. Lovely puffed up crust, not overdone, great taste. Definitely coming back.

We visited the Altrincham Market for dinner as a group. There were so many great choices. Honest Crust was one of the locations we tried. The pizza was very good, I chose to not give it excellent only because I am not a huge fan of pizza with Olive Oil, it makes it a little soggy although the taste was very good. I highly recommend the market, I have to say though my favorite was the flank steak at the Tender Cow. But you can not go wrong with Pizza from Honest Crust. If you are going with a group of people order a pizza to share from Honest Crust as a starter, you won't be disappointed.

I had a white pizza w sausage and nuts. When I have had these before they were garlicky and cheesy. This was just bread with some sausage on it. V disappointing but appreciate I may have just ordered badly as everyone raves about it.

Had the magarita con buffala. A load of water from the buffalla mozzerella sat on the pizza. I had to drain it off and use napkins. The dough in the middle was still soggy. The area of the pizza which was not soggy was ok. Sourdough base isn’t as good a Franca manca in london. Shame, I was really looking forward to it.

Ok... £11 as a pizza treat for my eldest kid who is forced through ill health to be selective with food choices... just the basic margherita... expensive... however as a once in a while treat its acceptable given the feedback... "Dad.... it hasn't left my mind 😂😂😂 it was I N S A N E. Best anything ever. Thank you so so so so so so much"

The Altrincham market is must do place to visit if you like honest, tasty food. The Honest Crust pizza is a great example of authentic and tasty pizza and as good as anywhere else.

You got to try this pizza. Worth every penny!!!

One of the best pizzas I've had in Altrincham

We were here for a quick lunch. The eating area in the Market was very busy and we were told that it would be about twenty minutes before we were served. This turned out to be the case and the pizzas were well worth the wait. My wife said that they were the best she'd ever had in England. The Marinara was good; the Napolitana even better. I also liked the ambience, in spite of rather loud music. Living in small town Cheshire, vibrant Altrincham Market is another world. Service was informal and friendly. And it was not expensive.

I love their pizza, still the No1, closely followed by Rudys in Manchester but still just ahead. The pigs cheek and N'Duja pizza is the very best one however a simple margarita as a starter is also amazing.

Had the portobello pizza (mushroom) here last night. Perfect Neapolitan style pizza, with light think base, soft but not stodgy. As good as you’ll get anywhere. Was really excellent.

Perfect balance of pizza. Crispy base, chewy sourdough crust, good balance of balance of tomato to cheese.

Reasonably good pizza though a bit too focused on style rather than taste. The main draw is that it's part of the communal Altrincham market space and they have a pizza oven (with dour twirled in front of your eyes). The pizza does look very pretty, and there's a decent menu to choose from. The ingredients are ok, it's a good base (a bit burnt), the tomato sauce comes through well enough though the mozzarella wasn't very notable. Service is quick and to the point. It's a generous portion, a good meal and a fair shout at an authentic Italian pizza.

Put a fancy name on a shop, charge high and serve shetty pizza.... To summarize in a sentence. The poor guys have no idea what a pizza is.....

I'm really fussy with food especially pizza, travelled around the world and only local Italian ones I would praise for, but this one was really good! I also visited the one in Mackie Mayors too!

Really enjoyed their pizza. Interesting toppings not just tomato and cheese. Altrincham Market hall used to host traders selling a variety of goods from cheese to holistic medicines to books. Now they have a number of food stalls. The hall is busy and music fills the room. Good atmosphere.

Beautiful pizza but staff could be friendlier and more flexible when people ask for vegetarian mozzarella! I was told I couldn't have it on one particular pizza!

I’ve visited Altrincham Market a few times now as the atmosphere is amazing. It’s got a great buzz and real quirky vibe about the place and is especially good in the sunshine. I can’t help but order a pizza from here every time I come and they never fail to deliver. Very tasty and definitely enough for one person!

Called into Alty market On a Saturday night.

Some of the best pizza you can get in a 100 mile radius. Real Italian style with some imaginative toppings if you fancy that

I regularly visit the Altrincham market and have a pizza from Honest Crust on most visits, delicious and fresh pizza with a tasty tomato sauce, being vegan limits my choices but they are tasty without cheese.

Third and last visit honest crust. Rude arrogant staff with no customer service skills whatsoever - one does not expect, on requesting to add an item to the set-in-stone, limited menu, to be scowled at and told grudgingly 'I suppose so'. I wouldn't mind if the pizze they serve was all that but no - very poor approximations of authentic Italian pizze. It's a captive audience in the market Hall. Much much better to go to pix pizza around the corner for authenticity and I should know as I had my first pizza in Venice 47 years ago and on many visits to Italy since.

We've tried pizzas several times from here. They our always soggy and doughy. Recently tried a margarita, very poor tomato base seemed like it was straight out of a tin with no attempt at seasoning or flavouring.

Just love it...every time. Happy to go out of my way for the fennel sausage, onion and pistachio pizza.

I went to honest cruse with my family and we all loved the pizza it was amazing! The pizza wasn't greasy like all the other pizzas I've ever had before.

I am Italian, so hard to please when it comes to pizza. This was delicious! I hardly ever had a pizza this good outside Italy! It was light and tasty, not greasy at all. Sometimes badly made Neapolitan style pizza is hard to digest but this was great! Keep up the good work, I will visit again soon!

Came for an early tea on a Saturday night. The staff were really friendly, the menu was fresh and had a great variety of toppings, service was quick and the flavours were amazing. 100% get the Italian Sausage, Pistachio and Onion pizza, best I've ever had.

Great tasting authentic Naples pizza! Made with passion and love with quality ingredients. For the price the sizes could be enlarged as the time it takes to eat it outweighs the wait for it to be made then served. I had almost finished mine before my friend's arrived ordered 2 minutes after mine and I left tad peckish for more! All over in minutes and a base so thin cutlery is not required for it tears so can be eaten the traditional way.However I am in firm agreement with other recent reviews I did find of late the base particularly thin and lacking its crispiness of previous earlier visits.

We didn't have to wait long at all and the pizza was amazing! Really glad we went and will go again! 😊

Nice location in Altrincham Market with good service. My pizza however was small, undercooked and soggy. The price was the most offensive part of the experience. The pizza was £14. £12 + £2 for mushroom. I mean mushroom singular as it was less than a full mushroom. When I questioned it even the staff agreed it was cheeky. It takes serious plums to charge £14 for a small, soggy pizza with an added mushroom.

By FAR the best vegan pizza I’ve ever eaten. These guys know the score! Their dough is soft, thin and chewy. Their marinara sauce is super sweet salty tomato heaven. And for the first time ever I didn’t miss cheese on my pizza! The fresh herbs, garlic and crazy buttery crust made for honestly the perfect vegan pizza. Their pricing is spot on and service was crazy quick. Go here for lunch! You won’t regret it!

Really don't understand the rave over this pizza.

I personally think is one of the best pizza in the UK. I tried so many and this is proper Pizza Napoletana with no doubt.

I visited Altrincham Market's for the first time a couple of weeks back and was blown away by the building and the selection of different eateries on offer. After hearing nothing but good things we settled upon Honest Crust and ordered a couple of Pizza's. I can hand on heart say they were the most delicious pizzas we have had outside of Italy, we will definitely be returning soon to sample some of the other flavours.

Before i start, this is regarding the Honest Crust in Mackie Mayer in the Northern Quarter, but it's still the same company.

They haven't used the word 'honest' lightly. My pizza today was quite simply the best I've experienced outside Italy. Fennel sausage and pistachio? what a combination for the tastebuds! (and rightly without the tomato sauce which would have distracted from this great taste combination). There's (fortunately) no glamour at this venue shared with other purveyor's of what appears to be great food and drink - but the place oozes authenticity and is an example of how a lovely old building can still find a use in a traditional town centre. People still flock to this old indoor market area but now it's to buy and taste at the same time. A shame we live so far away in East Anglia otherwise we'd be back next week!

I have visited Honest Crust numerous times over the past couple of years with family and friends, and we have all loved their pizzas each and every visit. Consistently excellent; you won't find a better pizza place for miles!

Excellent, consistent food in one of the UK's most vibrant foodie spots. What more could a pizza lover want?! The organic rocket is off the scale as well ......

One of the best stalls in Altrincham Market in my opinion. Handmade pizza freshly baked in their oven, topped with excellent ingredients. The crust was perfectly thin but chewy, topped with just enough cheese, sauce and toppings.

The pizzas here are consistently outstanding and true to the originals you get in Naples. The dough has the right amount of chew and char giving it a wonderful flavour. The toppings are high in quality and combinations compliment one another. To those who think it's dear, have a Pizza Hut version and you'll see why it's not £6 a pizza. You are paying for quality, and that is what you get. I love it here, it's the best in Altrincham....the North West to come to think of it. Well done for being pioneers in getting this town back to what it was. A destination.

Doesn't cater for vegans without over charging

The pizzas are very small and extremely thin, the margarita was £8.50 and a pizza topped with fennel sausage and pistachio was £12.50. They were both delicious but I don't think they are worth that price for the size. I like the market but I don't think is affordable food for the average person.

First visit to the market today around half 4 expecting it to be busy, it was full of people but still able to get a table right next to honest crust. Watching them make the pizzas and put them in the pizza oven was so nice to watch! There were a nice variation of pizzas to choose from both regulars and specials.

Amazing pizza. Dough/crust is so good. Cut right, top sauce. Would go every day if I could. Wood fired takes it to another level.

Great tasting authentic pizza.Perhaps a bit on the pricey side, but considering you are supporting an independent trader and the food is great, happy to take the trade.

How good are the pizzas? Right up there with Double 00 in Chorlton (but not with the wider range; BYOB or Gluten Free options) or Proove in Didsbury (Again, with a wider range, better parking and the ability to reserve a table - pizzas at Proove don't take an hour to deliver). Let's dispense with the pizzas and focus on the positive points. The space is lovely, the location central (for Altrincham) and has a variety of eclectic food outlets akin to a Hipster food court. There's small alcove for toddlers that's well provisioned with soft toys and books. The downside is that your table is liable to get pinched by someone else unless you can provide a 'towel on the deck chair' so to speak. Prices are upmarket, but not exorbitantly so. If it's pizza you're after then don't forget that there are 2 ovens. One indoor and the other outside in the corner of the awnings.

Excellent. Well presented and reasonably priced. Friendly staff, coupled with a brilliant atmosphere in the market hall makes for good food!!

These are great pizzas, often due to the popularity of the market there is a fair wait but it's very much worth the wait. Recommended.
