Nell's Pizza in Manchester

One of the best pizzas I have ever had

Went on a Sunday and got a table straight away. Ordered a 22 inch half half pizza and it was simply amazing as a NY style pizza. You find this type of pizza is quite rare to find normally. The base was ultra thin and crispy to perfection. Good selection of beers also on tap. Highly recommended and we would come back again.

We today visited this establishment. My wife is coeliac and were attracted by the best gluten free pizzas in Manchester Unfortunately they discriminate against people unfortunate to have this disease as they refused to serve us. We have eaten hear before without any problems so why now?? If she chooses to risk cross contamination then I see no problem. My advice to any coeliac is to stay well away from this place you are not welcome.

I’d say the pizza was pretty good and the service was great. The guy got it out to us very quickly and was friendly.

Was served a warmed up pizza with grated cheese on top. Disgusting.

No faults at all. Great 'New York' style crispy base pizza. Topping choice is great and Common itself has an extensive choice of drinks on draught/bottles/cocktails

Great undercarriage. Good pizza. Good crisp

Absolute chaos! They say walk ins are welcome, however we got there and the only support we got from staff was “you can sit anywhere there’s a table free”(the place was packed). So no queuing system in place where you can put your name down and wait 15-20mins for a table. It was horrendous as there was a massive queue but no support or system in place to allocate tables. When we finally got lucky and found a table outside the food and cocktails are so overated, plus the drinks and food were brought randomly with 10-20 min gaps, shocking! People dare to compare this to Rudy’s, they are delusional!

Fantastic food from friendly and attentive staff. Really good atmosphere eating on shared tables out in the open. Recommend 100%.

The staff were not present at lunch time, having never visited before there was nobody there to explain we could go to a hidden counter to order, or that we could order via an app. Interesting that you prompt for a tip without even seeing your customers. The food was excellent, my mediocre rating is down to poor service.

Overpriced for quality unfortunately. The 22" pizza base was quite dry and tough, toppings were put on quite sparingly. The size was novel and the dips were banging, atmosphere was lovely but yeah, £36 for a dry pizza was not the one unfortunately!

The cheese and marmite calzonetta made me do a little dance it's so good.

Was pretty good, pizzas was amazing got the 22" but will probably just buy by the slice next time as they are really filling. They turned up the music right at 7pm so had to shout to talk to each other but would definitely be good for pre drinks. Corn supremacy pizza was surprisingly good

Tasty pizza and good location and setting. Table service was speedy.

Pizza was really nice and a great price during the lunch deal. The service on the other hand was quite slow. When we came in no one acknowledged us which would’ve been an easy thing to do with two people on the bar. The pizzas took a while to arrive and whilst we didn’t really mind, we could see there was some filming going on. This left a bad taste as we felt like actual customers had been forgotten in favour of getting the right shot of two models eating their pizza. We really wanted to get an ice cream sandwich for dessert (which looked amazing) but unfortunately we didn’t have time after waiting for the pizza.

Delicious and cheap pizza, which is let down by the staff. They appeared hostile and reluctant to help, we came in an hour before the restaurant closed and it was clear that the staff were upset about this. Been here several times in the past and never had this issue before. Will be returning as the pizza is so delicious. Only thing I’d say is that the selection of pizzas available by the slice is understandably smaller than those available as a whole pizza. Would love if a wider variety of pizzas were available by the slice. Also would love to see the return of the cacio e pepe pizza.

My girlfriend and I were On a food tour Monday and we stopped here for a piece of pizza. It was probably the best pizza ever had my life. I’ve eaten in quite a few places in my time and it’s by far was the best.

I came here last week with my mum. The food was amazing as always and staff were friendly.

Great quality pizza, service was quick, very tasty dips.

Visited today with my two children. Placed my order through the online QR system and through no fault but my own I didn't expend the description on the Hawaiian pizza so thought it was just ham and pineapple and ideal for the kids. Unfortunately, when the pizza arrived it had jalapenos and chilli/honey dressing. I thought the wrong order must have been bought to our table so asked a member of staff. They explained that it was the Hawaiian and asked if I wanted a fresh pizza without the spicyness for the kids. I said it was my own fault for not expending the menu on the app but they insisted on getting some slices of margarita & pepperoni at no extra cost for the children. This was so kind, especially as it was my own fault and I did offer to pay for the extras however, they declined. Excellent customer service and amazing pizza, we will definitely be back. Thank you for making a stressed mum's day ☺️

Went here during the week with my girlfriend for an early lunch bite. Pizza and sauces were both so good. If you’re around Manchester make sure you check out a Nell’s pizza. Not your traditional type either but so good!

I thought The food quality of the other nell is better.

Good food and selection of drinks

The service. The pizza. The venue. All consistenly amazing. Best pizza in Manchester! Love that they look after us industry lot on Sundays and Mondays. Thanks guys 👊

Absolutely loved this place! The pizza base is delicious and the topping options all sounded amazing! The corn supremacy pizza is now my favourite pizza ever!! The team were also incredibly friendly and overall the atmosphere was very welcoming and fun! 100% recommend Nell’s ✨

Probably one of the best pizzas ive ever had My son devoured his

A variety of pizzas, Pizza was good too

I only had a pot of crisps so can't really rate the food, but it looked amazing huge 22" pizza to share or go alone if that's your appetite, they also serve 14" or by the slice.Staff all friendly and efficient even at a very busy time. I will call again and try the pizza.

Food is very good but House beer was not good taste copper

Wow. Absolute hidden treasure in the back streets of Manchester. Got tipped off on amazing pizza at a nearby pub so spent some time tracking down Nell's and it absolutely delivered. Really great, unique choices and a brilliant atmosphere for eating in. I got mine to go and grabbed a beer while I waited, but in hindsight it would have been great to eat in. Staff were so friendly and helpful (without overdoing it). Really can't speak highly enough of this place - this is how to do pizza. Thanks for everything, Nell's.

This place has amazing pizzas and mocktails! Simply superb 🫰

Decent pizzas and good selection of beer.

Really good pizza and vegan options, service was very quick

Fantastic place, great food and great atmosphere. For a couple who are extremely picky eaters to absolutely fall in love with food out of our comfort zone away from home is an absolute joy. The Mini Calzones are to die for and the Original Sausage Material pizza was one of the best we've had. My only negative is we didn't get the 22" and got the 14" as we were being conservative. Cocktails are also a very strong point, good selection of familiar feeling mixes but with unique twists that bring out the personality of the establishment. Very reasonable pricing all round, a handmade and fired pizza that looks and tastes like you'd except from a pizzeria in Naples but in a warm and friendly Manchester bar district is definitely worth the investment if you ask me. Factor in you would pay more at well known takeaway pizza chains for a smaller pizza and let that guide your thoughts. 10/10 would stand on the rooftop of any building of substantial size and shout praises. When in the area again will definitely return and if the owner fancies expanding to Sheffield there is two customers ready and waiting right here. Thanks for the great meal and greater time.

Hands down the best pizza I've ever had. I went for the pepperoni and hot honey pizza. It was absolutely delicious snd great value for money. The crispy base, the cheese and tomato sauce are all delicious and high quality. The lovely service and atmosphere complemented the whole experience nicely too!

Visited this spot last year, but decided we had to come back again. It truly is the best pizza i’ve had, the bases are perfect, & every slice is flavoured beautifully. This visit me & my partner got the half & half 22’ pizza (do you roni’ honey? & magic number) & they were phenomenal! The prices are reasonable for the size & quality of the pizzas. Would 100% recommend!

Great food, great service, clean. Definitely recommend.

Got there a couple of hours before closing time only to be told they were no longer making pizzas and they only had a couple of slices left. Didn't tell us that when we came in and sat down, and we'd made the journey especially. Really disappointed.

Nice place, good music and food. Special shout-out to Ellie behind the bar, she’s the very best!!!!! All my love to Ellie

Amazing pizza, and best vegan pizzas i've ever had. Service was good - food came quickly despite being busy - and a good price. Will definitely be back!

If you're craving enormous pizzas, look no further! Reminiscent of New York's slices that you need to fold to hold, the flavour possibilities are varied, and the prices are reasonable, especially with the deals they have for lunch and dinner. We shared two huge pizzas between four of us but I've also been to the Kampus venue for lunch and had the smaller size (which is not small by any means!). 🍕 The ONLY downside I could find at the NQ restaurant was that the lighting is very low in the evenings: atmospheric, perhaps, but not helpful when you're trying to eat. All in all, a great pizza place to catch up with friends over a slice or three!

We ordered their Ham and pineapple pizza and I'm not a pineapple-in-my-pizza type of person but enjoyed it. Price was good as well as we got it during their pizza deal (until 4pm in certain days). Worth a try! :)

Attended after the Manchester Marathon! Good food! Ideal for our runners

Bar service or table QR code. Nice selection of drinks including adult slushies. The pizzas were absolutely delicious and HUGE. We ordered 1/2 original cheese for the kids and 1/2 spicy sausage and pepperoni for the adults. The hot honey and spicey sauce is chef's kiss good ❤️‍🔥 🤌🏻 Will definitely return. There is a meal deal and a mid week dining offer available. Great place for a couple of slices in the city.

Very nice pizza and for £7.77 you can’t beat it. Only gripe is the mobile phone ordering system, I’d rather order with a real person.

Very nice pizza and speedy service

My favourite pizza place in town.

Great Venue, nice staff ... very average Pizza

Great place, food was lovely and had a lovely selection of drinks, both alcohol and none alcoholic

My husband and I dined here tonight. He got the ‘Original Sauce material’ and ate the whole thing as he absolutely loved it. I got the ‘Funghi Jambone’ and it was disappointing to say the least. The flavor was single note and it tasted like a pizza I would order as drunk food rather than dinner. You pay before you order, so even though I only ate one slice, there was nothing they could do. Overall the atmosphere, service and drinks were great but the Funghi Jambone not so much.

Great place for tasty pizza and a good pint. Family friendly and lots of room on the tables for the kids to do kids stuff. Highly recommend for family's 👍

Food was nice but slightly overpriced. The drinks, especially the alcoholic ones, were awful. Just stick to regular alcoholic drinks and stop trying to reinvent the wheel with hipster beer. Probably wouldn't return

A bit pricey but incredible tastes. 22" pizzas are a feast to behold. Staff super friendly too

Would love to give this a 5 star and I could purely on the food but unfortunately the "girl" with braids I was served by behind the bar was unbelievably rude with little to no service skills. We had ordered sat down and eaten before we even got our drinks (which were pints of coke) After 25 mins I got up to question where our drink were and i was met with hostility and an attitude being told to "wait they are coming" all while pulling a face to the other bar woman and tutting under her breath. If I'm doing half of the job and coming to the bar when there is NOBODY stood there ordering and there are no drinks on the side ready to be dropped off then what are you doing? Just give me my drink i have paid for so I can leave. I ordered my food and drink together for them to arrive together (or close enough) The floor staff were putting in the actual work making sure everyone got their food the least she could do is move her body and help them out rather then standing doing literally nothing other then giving attitude.

The best New York style pizza I've had anywhere. Cool ambience as well.

best service, best food , best time of my life, i’ve never been the same since xxx

This girl called prema wow what a treat to be severed by her wow what a lady and Chris the guy with the shaved head such a lovely man and omg what a treat to be severed by these 10/10

Average food that is overpriced. Terrible service. Reminded 4+ times that there was a reservation after ours and the table we had was needed. Told 15 mins before our reservation had ended that the next party had arrived and we were pressured to leave quickly, despite the fact we were continually buying drinks. Ordering done via QR code at the table, very rigid, could not request any amendments. Webpage assumed a tip each time an order was made despite the service being woeful.

Arrived a full hour before closing. Was told they'd be closing early due to supply & demand. ?? Really bad attitude. Staff were not at all apologetic, and made us feel like it was our mistake - we then saw the staff leaving with boxes of pizza for themselves minutes later! We'd paid for a taxi to the venue given they were supposed to be open. Really wouldn't recommend chancing it.

OMG get those 22” in my mouth. Seriously though, one of best pizzas I’ve had. We shared 2x 22” between four of us and it was plenty. Great place in general too.

The pizza by the slice is very tasty. Not a big venue. The staff are ok but not friendliest on the night that I went- they seem frustrated id you dont have a table number or if they cant hear your order when the music is extremely loud. The vibe in the venue is cool though and the outside seating is nice with lights but there are no table numbers outside for ordering pizza.

If you love a tasty thin crust pizza, this is the place to go. I had the corn supreme, my friend went for funghi jambon, they're both very good. Staff is always lovely.

Simply the best pizza I've ever eaten. Service was amazing too. A true highlight of our trip

The service we had was outstanding. The front of house was excellent. The pizzas we superb. In fact the gluten free pizza was the best one my friend had had in any restaurant.

It's sounds like an over statement but this is THE best pizza I've ever eaten. The service is way above anything else. I cannot recommend enough. I'll be back next time I'm in the area

They have some good slices and the service is very quick.

Great food as expected and tasted good

Staff are soooo lovely. Even when they're rushed off their feet.

Amazing pizza and great service

Had a booking on Sunday with friends and their little one. I rang ahead once booked to advise we would have 2 prams and one with a baby, so they could place us in an appropriate area, especially as my little one if asleep would be in the pram lay down. I was told not a problem. We then arrived and was shown to the table with little room for buggies, I advised I had called in advance. The initial person who greeted us was rude, questioned who I had spoken too. Then asked if she would go in high chair and I advised she's a baby and is not old enough. It was then suggested she sit on my knee which wouldn't have been a major problem if she wasn't asleep. It very much felt like we was inconvenience and then after 10 mins of seating us. Was then reminded how long we had. If I had been told it may be difficult to accommodate prams and buggies before hand, I would have reconsidered. The one waitor was rude, quite brittle and abrupt and I very much felt put out for having a baby with me. Maybe if accommodating prams and buggies are an issue, this could be something you could advise on your page. I was looking forward to coming, but it felt very much rushed

Fabulous food, lovely place to eat out with colleagues. Not so busy as a midweek night in January. Background music was a tad too loud for comfortable conversation so after eating we moved on to find a more quiet venue

Really nice staff, thank you for looking after us and our dogs and kids Sunday night. Table ordering off the QR code nice and easy!

A big thank you to Anna and team for finding a table for us last minute. They went to every effort to sit us by a friend's party and accommodated a dog and baby, even though they were fully booked and made us feel very welcome. 🥳

Super huge pizza ! Very good value for the money !!!

Delicious and cheap, can’t fault it! Great dips, the marinara was exceptional

Very good pizza and ice cream sandwiches.

The best gluten free deep dish pizza in Manchester! Not on the main menu though and you have to go to the bar to order it

Pizza was quite tasty, great crust and nicely flavored - only complaint would be how they were quite light with the toppings. But nice dipping sauces adds an extra layer.

Best pizza I've ever had! The dough was superb - light, fluffy and thin.

The food was good but the Manager was awful. The wrong pizza came out after waiting quite a while and he accused us of ordering a “cheaper” pizza when I was allergic to pineapple which is why the wrong order came out apparently! No refund or customer service at all! Wouldn’t recommend to anyone

Service took a little longer than expected but the atmosphere was chilled out and most importantly the Pizza tasted great.

Went for dinner with a couple of friends as a belated birthday. One of us was celiac and we informed the restaurant when booking. They said they can't guarantee for an allergy, but there is a gluten-free menu. When we got there their main menu said to go and order at the bar if you have any allergy requirement. As we did that, they refuse to serve him. The girl serving at the bar was incredibly rude. Horrible experience, will never set foot there again.

It was twenty till closing for food, but could you not just pop our pizzas in a microwave toaster oven? Cold pizza from a hyped up place left us very disappointed The staff announced rudely “if you use the rest of the bar you might get served” to people politely queuing and waiting The whole experience was pretty meh

One of the best pizza’s in Manchester. As much as I love an authentic Napoli-style pizza, Nells does the best NY-style thin crust. High quality and unique toppings, great ratio of cheese to sauce, crispy base, and I love dipping the crusts in one of the house dips. Love getting a 22’ half & half and sharing it out. Always had speedy and friendly service at the bar at Common, and there’s a good chilled vibe about the place. Great value for money and definitely one of my favourites.

I paid £15 for a gluten free pizza. The pizza was tiny and on some sort of deep pan base. The base was tasteless and looked like it could have been bought. The normal pizzas are excellent from Nells, but to be charged £15 for a tiny substandard gluten free option was ridiculous. I won't be visiting again. Don't bother if you're gluten intolerant

Pizza so good you will be sucked dry

Totally unforgettable pizza. Was left disappointed with the food.

Ordered the vegan pizza with Kale. The wait was about 45 mins. Hell yeah it was worth it

New Yorker here. Damned impressed. The dough is banging. The dipping sauce is not New York style but it's a smart idea for the delicious crust. My only wish to make it true New York style is to offer the classic condiments at the table like oregano, red pepper flakes, parmesan, garlic powder. Would also love a make your own pizza option. Every time I come to Manchester I'll come here. Best (NY) pizza on this side of the pond.

Wonderful place to socialise with friends and such amazing staff.

Lovely place. Pizza was a little slow during a busy time (40mins) but worth the wait!

Pizza took and hour to come out and was luke warm at best Taste was also very basic, I wouldn’t eat again

Lovely lunch with work colleagues, great Pizza’s, excellent service . Very accommodating staff.

Cosy place, pizzas are excellent and the caramel ice cream sandwich is to die for.

Busy place, with great food and drinks.

The 22 inch origjnal cheese is the best in the UK. It's a 9.3, top score. Recommend...

Lovely, spacious and always friendly with pizza that's second-to-none. Table ordering via mobile is still in place (and quick), but it's also a joy to wonder to to the bar and chat with the friendly staff. The 22 inch pizza is something to behold and the toppings are high quality and different to what you'd find elsewhere. Outdoor seating is available too. A firm family favourite

I got 6 22 inch pizzas delivered for my birthday party and I have to say the service and food was honestly amazing. I had to find something last minute as a different restaurant fell through and they were so accommodating! The manager was so nice when I rang up, the price was so reasonable and they threw in some dips for free :) absolutely fab service. The pizzas also went down a treat, we got a mixture of toppings and they all got eaten. Thanks Nells for making my birthday so special :) couldn’t recommend enough!

Lovely food and a great meal out. Its a little bar vibey, not as chill as I would of liked. Food took a very long time to come out. It was delicious tho!
