Proove in Manchester

Great great great pizza, keep it up guys! Piero suggested me for a vegetarian option calzone and it was very good 💪🏻

Fantástica comida de cumpleaños. Personal atento y amable. Excelente comida como siempre. ¡Siempre volveré, sobre todo por los ragu arancini! Mateo era un gran anfitrión.

Fantastic birthday meal for my boyfriend. Simon and Mateo were brilliant. Quick service and so friendly!

Went for dinner at Proove last night having been many times before and was really disappointed. We had a really long wait for food, we think as prioritising the delivery drivers which isn’t right. Starters eventually came and we had ordered Parmigiana Di Melanzane which turned up after what must have been the best part of an hour, in a foil takeaway dish looking very sad. When the pizzas came they were good but we had no cutlery and had to ask repeatedly. It took a good few minutes to receive the cutlery while the pizzas were going cold. We did get given some olives as an apology for the wait on food but we won’t be rushing back when so many other amazing and dog friendly pizza restaurants in Manchester.

Kaitlin era increíble. Muy agradable y acogedor. La comida era muy buena, pero Kaitlin lo hizo mejor 💯 Gracias 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Come here all the time! Simon and the team are always friendly and welcoming, and the food is exceptional. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area ☺️

We went to Proove West Didsbury and the staff were so friendly and helpful ☺️ Big thank you to Alice, Joshua, Caitlyn, Alessio, Rory and Bhavya you are all top folks and make this restaurant a wonderful experience

Simon, our server, was very friendly and helpful with our dietary restrictions. Meal was tasty and cheap enough in the lunchtime deal

A really nice pizza with plenty of drinks to choose from.. Definitely will go again

My husband and I are visiting from California, and Proove is just down the street from our Airbnb. The food looked fantastic in pictures, so we went for it. The food did not disappoint! We ordered the caprese salad, the calzone, the Vesuvio pizza, and 2 scoops of Gelato, they were all delicious and portion sizes were perfect! The portions looked really big, but it was all nice and light, nothing too heavy. Our server Katelyn was wonderful! She was also serving a table next to us, the customers were VERY difficult to put it politely, and she handled it beautifully. Wonderful place for a nice atmosphere, great service, and delicious food!

Our server Charlie was lovely smiley and friendly

Como alguien que no puede comer gluten pero que *realmente* extraña la pizza, Proove es un dios - enviar. Son muy buenos para atender las alergias y la comida es deliciosa (manos - abajo la mejor pizza GF, y también pizza regular, según mi esposa) , y el personal (Simon y Alicia en mi visita más reciente) son amables y atentos.

Visited Proove with family, we all think the food was lovely!! The service, Simon and all staff, as well as environment is also great!

As a coeliac, Proove is hands-down my favourite place to go for pizza as their GF pizza is the closest to "proper" pizza since I had to give up gluten. Also, their customer rewards scheme is super-generous.

Review for Proove Pizza, Didsbury We had our Christmas do at Proove Pizza in Didsbury on 7th December 2025, with over 25 of us, and it was fantastic! 🎄🍕 As you can imagine, things got a bit chaotic with such a big group, but Simon and the team really looked after us. There was a small issue with the deposit and bill, but they handled it so quickly and professionally that it wasn’t a problem at all. The service was top-notch—everyone was super friendly, attentive, and made sure the night ran smoothly. And the pizzas? Absolutely spot on! Fresh, delicious, and exactly what we needed for a festive celebration. Big thanks to Simon and everyone at Proove for making the night such a success. If you’re planning a group event or just fancy amazing pizza, this is the place to go. ⭐️

Really great food as always! Simon was great as well!

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. A bearded waiter wearing glasses caused an unnecessary delay, keeping two delivery drivers waiting for over 20 minutes even though the order was ready. One of the customers canceled their order because of the delay, wasting both their time and the driver’s. This level of service is unacceptable. It shows a lack of respect for both customers and delivery drivers. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you value your time or reliable service. Thank you for your response. I understand your explanation, but I must clarify what happened during my experience. The food I was waiting for was already prepared and packed in the bag. The delay occurred because the waiter didn’t even ask me what order I was waiting for until much later. When I finally showed him the order number, he served another customer first before retrieving the bag with the food. Unfortunately, by that point, the customer had already canceled the order due to the long wait. This wasn’t a case of the order not being ready—it was a case of poor communication and lack of urgency.

Great food and really friendly staff

Pretty faultless every time I’ve been. And it’s a lot. Very high quality dough. Pizzas are excellently made with a good variety of options. Very glad to have this as a neighbourhood pizzeria that would fit in well in Naples

Raw pizza with very little tomato! Years ago we ate well but lately NO! Very "hurry" service, you almost feel uncomfortable being at the table. Goodbye!

Great pizza and amazing place for coming here with kids! They have very good deals before 6pm and also their loyalty scheme is great. Our favourite pizza place in Didsbury 🌶️🍕

I must say they do the best pizza and never disappointed!

family of four and we had a tremendous time here. we shared several starters, the garlic bread was supposed to come out at the same time but there was a little delay which we really did not mind but the waitress wanted to make everything just right for us and said it would be on the house. the pizzas were huge and so tasty, i had the meat calzone. Fennel salami might be overpowering for some peoples taste but I actually loved it. There was one waitress in charge of everything the night we went there. I never got her name but her attentiveness, professionalism, and friendly attitude in the midst of a very busy shift for her was highly commendable. Thank you, we will be back.

Great spot for me and my family, well catered to coeliacs. Big shout out to our server Charlie who was really understanding and helpful with my allergies, we will definitely be back for more of her recommendations and hopefully an espresso martini or two!

Lovely pizza and had the bottomless brunch, was a great time and lovely atmosphere. Everyone was very helpful, especially Lily, who sorted everything for us, she was very funny

The meals are absolutely delicious but the ordering app is absolute rubbish. We have experience of ordering with the local app supplied to The Railway (a delightful pub nearby) and often have to request the learned help of the landlords. Today we attempted the Deliveroo version and separately on apple and Samsung my wife and I went round in tortuous app circles, wasting 15 minutes each before making a snack at home. May G*d help us when AI takes over. Kindest regards and hopes for some user friendly app development, from Peter & Roz Brighouse in Manchester ( elderly but capable users of the internet)

Really great service from Izzy for our big celebration meal thank you!

Izzy was an amazing waitress! Very friendly and great service - loved the pizza too!

Izzy was amazing, there was a huge group of us and she was brilliant.

Lovely pizza!! The dough is amazing and the wine is also fab too. We were lucky to be served by a very attentive waitress, Izzy. We’ll deffo be back when we’re next in the area!

We had a big table of 13 on a Saturday night and Izzy was so attentive to us and the food was great! Thanks very much

Food was delicious! Called and made a reservation. Friendly staff, Izzy was great! Would come again :)

Super tasty. Izzy, our server, was so lovely and friendly. Would go back again!

Absolutely banging pies 🍕 Service was impeccable, Kasey made me the best mojito in the west, staff all v friendly, super pizza, pizza-rific, pizza-tastic!

Food was fab and Izzy was a great waitress. We will be back

Service was poor. Waitress made a mistake and didn’t bother to let us know so we waited for over 40 minutes. She could have have simply told us and we would have ordered a little appetiser ( especially because our son was so hungry!). The pizza is greasy, small and expensive Go to iRuddy’s., it’s way better!

The food here was excellent and our server Izzy was extremely helpful, will definitely be back again

Service was great, food excellent, it was novel to see the pizzas being cooked in a big clay oven. Enjoyed my elderflower cider and Neptuna pizza which was cooked perfectly. Really grateful to Izzy for being a really fabulous server.

Quick shout out for Proove Pizza and our fab waitress Izzy. We were a large group so could have been tricky but service and good all great. Pizzas excellent as we're the olives and doughballs, homemade desserts great to.

Mi familia y yo fuimos hoy celebrando a mi hijo -en- ley completando la Media Maratón. Éramos una gran fiesta, pero fuimos tratados muy amablemente por nuestros servidores Charlie y Mary. La comida llegó rápido y era delicioso. Nos cuidaron muy bien durante toda nuestra visita y apreciamos mucho cómo priorizaron la comida de los niños. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo.

Had a great experience at Proove Pizza, thanks to Mia’s exceptional service. She was professional, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her friendly attitude and attention to detail really stood out. The food was also amazing - highly recommend. I’ll definitely be back!

Always great pizza and a lovely atmosphere. Our server Izzy was really friendly and helpful!

Brilliant food and amazing service from my server Izzy she so kind and welcoming !

Tasty pizza and brilliant service especially from Izzy who was very helpful

I recently dined at a charming pizza restaurant with one of my friends, in a loveley location. The ambiance was inviting, making it a great spot for a casual meal. Our waitress, Mia, was incredibly accommodating, ensuring our dining experience was delightful. She offered excellent recommendations and checked in frequently, making us feel well taken care of. I highly recommend this place for pizza lovers!

Most definitely the BEST pizza around and we always find the service faultless.

The pizza is excellent, however the place always seem understaffed on weekend evenings. The staff are lovely, but rushed off their feet and it took a while to get served. We had to ask for a new round of drinks each time. The most disappointing aspect, as others have mentioned, is constant stream of Deliveroo riders hanging around the place. Not acceptable when you are paying for a sit down meal. I mentioned this to the staff on a previous visit but nothing appeared to have been done about it. I really hope management address these issues as other wise Proove is an excellent spot.

Very long time wait, cold pizza

Great pizza at an excellent price

My wife who works at Tesco was about to have her break, so i walked in here about 5 minutes before her break to get the food ready. I was sat down immediately. I ordered, waited 5 minutes for my wife to arrive, she sat down and 10 minutes later our food was there! Very quick and it was delicious, good value as well. We had a salad and a pizza. I would like to come here again sometime.

Waited 40 for my pizza to arrive which came before my starter. The restaurant wasn’t very busy with maybe 2 other tables there. I was on my own as away on business so was sat on a small table next to the front door. The issue there is there is constantly 3-4 disgruntled Deliveroo riders waiting who are also complaining about the service time. The staffs reply is there was only one chef one and he only had two hands. So amongst the constant Deliveroo pick ups I made the staff aware that they had forgot my starter an hour into my time there. They apologised and said they would remove it from my bill or box it up to take it away. I declined ordering a dessert as didn’t want to wait however long that would be and it was a very frustrating atmosphere. Once paid and read the receipt it turned out they hadn’t taken the starter off the bill and even had the cheek to add a service charge. I wouldn’t recommend and certainly wouldn’t go back. Oh and the Pizza was ok. Genuine stone baked and authentic style although not much cheese.

Been here a few times and it's always been very nice. Tonight not so much. We waited 1.15 mins for our starters, then a further 40mins for mains. I saw 2 couples come in after us, get served and leave. Very frustrating

Both had a Calzone which were served with terrific beer. Would highly recommend.

It took an hour to get my Margherita pizza. The pizza was good however

Visited Proove this week for only my second time. Service was impeccable from Mary who looked after us from greeting to payment. She really is a credit to the friendly team and we will definitely be back for more Aperols made by her! She was particularly helpful in navigating the vegan menu, advising we get the parmigiana as a first choice option. Overall a great evening, my only critique would be the aged interior decoration which could do with a more sophisticated update in comparison to other venues I’ve visited.

Went for Lunch, was quiet and food was fantastic. I don't like how restaurants now automatically add a tip, even if discretionary as it adds pressure on the guests.

Además, la comida puntual es buena. Pero, ¿qué tan difícil puede ser conseguir dos pizzas en un lunes por la noche muy tranquilo al mismo tiempo? Los entrantes llegaron después de una larga espera, pero fueron agradables. La ensalada que pedimos vino, y después de otra larga espera, nos la comimos. De nuevo, es muy agradable. Luego llega nuestra pizza, pero solo una. Así que comenzamos a comerlo ya que teníamos hambre y nos aburría nuestra experiencia hasta ahora. Una vez más no puede fallar el producto. Eventualmente, después de que habíamos terminado de compartir (por cierto no es lo que queríamos hacer) , llegó otra pizza. Perdón por el retraso. Hubiera apreciado estar actualizado si hubiera un problema en lugar de lamentarlo cuando finalmente llegó. En general una experiencia muy pobre

Lovely place, super friendly staff, amazing food, couldn’t ask for more. Thank yall

Insuficiente personal y servicio muy lento. No estaba ocupado, pero parecía estar priorizando pedidos para llevar / aplicaciones de entrega, lo que significaba que esperábamos para siempre por nuestras pizzas. Bonito cuando se trataba, pero el servicio no era bueno - vasos estaban apilados en la mesa y repetidamente tuvimos que pedir bebidas que tomó mucho tiempo. Siento pena por el personal, solo 3 de ellos haciendo su mejor esfuerzo, pero en general no es una buena experiencia.

A fantastic afternoon at Proove for our family graduation party - super pizzas and children’s menu for smallest people - relaxed atmosphere, good music and really excellent staff - thank you Proove we will be back!

Mal servicio. Ok pizza. Sábado por la noche. Burton Road estaba ocupado y nos apetecía algo sabroso. Había comido en Prove anteriormente y lo recordaba positivamente. Sin embargo, cuando entramos a las 9. 20 era bastante tranquilo, aparte de una cola de conductores de AP de entrega. Inmediatamente el servidor nos dijo que necesitaba comprobar si la cocina estaba abierta. A las 9. 20 . Es una cocina abierta. Literalmente un horno de pizza en la esquina. Con personal haciendo pizzas para llevar. Tuve la clara impresión de que no se preocupaban por servirnos. Nos ofrecieron asientos a regañadientes en una gran mesa comunitaria a pesar de que era tranquilo. Honestamente. La pizza estaba bien. Nada memorable pero bien. Comimos. Pagado. Izquierda. Media hora. Cuando Rudys en Didsbury tiene colas afuera en un día de semana, Prove necesita mejorar su juego. Hay al menos otros seis lugares que sirven pizza artesanal.

El personal era amable, pero el servicio era un poco lento - el personal a menudo estaban charlando detrás del bar, en lugar de comprobar en los huéspedes. La comida era deliciosa - pizza tenía una buena cantidad de cobertura, y la base sabía fresco!

Lovely pizzas, friendly staff, airy restaurant with seating spaced out nicely. Tables big enough to seat 14+ party size. Free on-street parking all around.

Spot on in Didusbury. Went in for the first time, perfect design. Not too busy but still some table, (which is great for a Tuesday morning). Pizza was perfect as were the fries (proper Italian seasoning 😂❤️). That cheesecake OMG, gotta find out how they make it!!! Reagan (hoping is the right spelling 😂) amazing waiter attentive and always smiling, which is rare nowadays😊 Overall full, but happy!😃

Came here for a Friday night treat but was really disappointed with our visit to the point I couldn't recommend this restaurant. We were seated in a nice spot below the open skylight which was nice and bright, but the service was very poor, ordered drinks which took a while to come, then followed by taking order for food, pizza and fries were ordered...Pizza's came but the fries never did, we assumed they would bring them out, however half way through pizza we had to ask a lady where they are which she said they were coming.. then still no fries, we ask our original server he goes to have a look and at the same time we ask for mayo for our crusts, he replies yeah sure... again nothing comes, a while after he tells us sorry the fries were never put un fryer, so we say forget them - and still no mayo! Its a shame as pizza was nice but it was ruined by being on edge all meal waiting for things and constantly trying to get our servers attention to the point you cant relax or thinking 'should i eat my pizza or wait for other part to appear'. Then the bill comes with fries still on the bill and a £5 service charge, so my boyfriend goes to the till to rectify this problem and asking for service charge to be taken off as the service was terrible. Thankfully the woman takes fries, service charge off and the drinks which was good of her! Server was just really inattentive and relaxed and it really did spoil the meal.

Ordered their gluten free pizza naively thinking it would be wheat free too considering that's most of the time the case and they didn't write absolutely anywhere it's not. Allergen menu doesn't include gluten free option either. Long story short after a few bites i realised my mistake but had a bad allergic reaction. So if you have wheat allergy do avoid.

Beautiful authentic pizza options. The gluten free base was lovely and stone baked (not just prepackaged like some resteraunts offer). Would recommend

Excessive wait time of around 1hour without an explanation.

What can I say the pizza was lovely - I opted for a calzone filling but in a pizza instead and this did not disappoint. Once again the 2-4-1 cocktails at happy hour were still on. The staff were attentive, friendly and nothing was too much trouble

I made a food tour with plenty of stops, and so we just shared a garlic bread (with mozzarella) between two. Wow! The dough was, in a word, gorgeous, with the perfect amount of oregano scattered on top. I need to go back and try the Pizza Dolce…and the Bomboloni 😹

The gluten free pizza base felt undercooked and there wasn't much cheese on either the pizza or the cheesy garlic bread. The service was quite slow as they seemed to prioritise deliveroo orders over orders from those dining in. It wasn't awful but there are much nicer pizzerias in Manchester.

Ok but won't go back. Chips were really disappointing. We were squeezed in between other diners. Pizza OK but nothing special.

Pizzas really tasty,we had a little bit of a wait because the pizza chefs obvs are making the delivery food as well as the sitting in stuff.Good though and would go again Staff friendly.

A spontaneous decision to go there on Saturday night turned out to be a delicious experience. It was by some distance the best pizza I have had anywhere in the UK; in my case the Diavola with extra rocket. The pizza bread was beautifully cooked fresh from the oven with all piquancy you would expect from this particular choice. The restaurant is light and airy. We had a table next to the kitchen which enables you to see the chefs at work, but well protected from any uncomfortable kitchen heat. The bottle of Barbera was decent and reasonably priced. The table service was extremely warm and friendly. All dishes were served promptly. Definitely one to return to the next time we’re visiting our son in Manchester.

Brilliant calzone in a clay oven - we didn’t know how big the portions were so ordered starters too - big mistake as we were full. The cocktails on 2-41 were great during happy hour too. Staff were lovely and friendly

My Mum and I had heard about Proove from friends who are regular diners, and as we were visiting the area from North Yorkshire for a tour of Salford Quays, we decided to treat ourselves. We weren't disappointed! Lovely menu and ambience, attentive and friendly staff. Everything was seamless, from ordering our meal through to asking for the bill. We had a lovely time, and will definitely go back.

Had a bit of a wait as they were so busy (I guess everywhere was on Valentine's night) but it was well worth persevering. Food was scrummy & staff were brilliant. Can't wait for a return visit!

The place had a great vibe and the food was delicious. We had a few cocktails and the staff provided great service! Overall good place to go. 😁

Came across this business by accident whilst travelling for work early February. Having had such a great experience the first night I ended up eating here regularly whilst visiting Manchester. Really friendly staff, cocktails where so nice and the pizza was really tasty. I'd highly recommend eating here if you get the chance.

Ordered a pesto pizza. It was absolutely delicious and something different. Really flavourful. Thank you!

It’s one of my favourite pizza place in Manchester. If you want guaranteed good pizza, this is the place you want to go. The staffs are all lovely, taking care of guests so well. Also it’s nice to see the kitchen that you can tell the chefs are working so hard to make a great pizza for you.

1st time at this wonderful restaurant, what a wonderful experience visiting this marvellous eatery. Went on a group booking for what I thought was just a pizza, wow it is so much more. The food is to die for, also the service, quality of food presented and general ambience of this fine establishment is a true gem in the middle of West Didsbury.

We’ve visited Proove in Didsbury a couple of times and had a lovely experience. It’s been a while since we last went and if there’s been a shift in management, it shows. Me and my partner visited for a valentines meal and it was hugely disappointing. Staff were poorly trained and inattentive, not once did we receive a check back and after ordering, we had to remind wait staff to bring us our drinks and starters, after a 45 minute wait for food. We sat down at 8:30 and didn’t receive our mains until 9:45pm, by which point they had ran out of an ingredient for one of our pizzas, they arrived at different times and one had clearly been sat under a hot pass for a while. When we notified the staff that we were unhappy with the experience, we scarcely received an apology for the service. When wait staff consulted the manager he didn’t bother to speak to us directly or offer his apologies. We have both worked in hospitality ourselves and appreciate the stressors of restaurant work on a busy night, but the restaurant was understaffed and poorly managed. The food was late and average, we will not be returning.

DO NOT EAT AT THIS RESTAURANT. Not unless you want to spend the evening watching the kitchen slavishly churn out orders for Deliveroo. Staff ignoring miserable, hungry customers. Countless valentines evenings ruined. Shambolic. Never again. We gave up and ended up getting a pizza from the co-op on the way home. 👎

First time here , friendly staff , quick service pizza was delicious charred wood oven pizza what’s not to like ! Priced reasonably

Great staff, pizza was 🔥...highly recommend the Quattro with Njuda

Ordered the pizza with Pesto as the base, cant recall the name of it. It was actually really nice. The pesto flavour was clearly coming through, the veg on it added more flavour. The waitress had the Mozzarella cheese substituted to Vegan which was good of her. She was a really pleasant girl (tall, slim with short hair) it's nice to visit a place where the staff are pleasant. Forgot to mention the Fries with a fancy name on the menu were just standard fries, that came a bit later than the pizza. The only thing that made me slightly sad faced was, i ordered pineapple juice but got apple instead. I can maybe understand the confusion.. apple pineapple, but yh, that's minor. All in all, it was a lovely pleasurable dining experience

Service was so slow it was like we got forgotten about at every stage of the visit from ordering drinks at the start to finalising the bill at the end . Not a great experience

Ordered from deliveroo all the way from Stockport. Pizza was still gorgeous even though it was only slightly warm (due to long journey, can't be avoided). Sign of a really good pizza. This place definitely has an edge on the other authentic pizza places in Manchester. The lunch deal is fantastic

Very good pizza. Not the best I’ve ever had (I would say Rudy’s is slightly better) but in combination with the really nice staff and the nice atmosphere you will not leave unsatisfied. The Burrata is excellent and the arancini is a must have. It’s really hard to find good arancini in Manchester (they’re like a deep fried rice ball filled with spicy meat)

Fab pizza and tiramisu. Staff always really welcoming.

Fantastic spot on Burton Road - pizza was magnificent and the service was to match. Always pay Proove a visit when we are in the area and it never disappoints. Unmissable if you’re looking for somewhere posh but affordable in Didsbury!

They insist on using string pepperoni which I feel is cheap and not nearly as good

Nice enough pizza and not bad prices, would be good value on a lunch time/midweek offer!

First time having a meal here, and it was lovely. Staff were really polite and attentive and the food was great. The only thing I’d say is that the middle of the pizza was a little too wet BUT once I cut a slice and folded it over it was fine. Great portions, really nice variety of flavours, definitely something for everyone. The star of the whole evening was the biscoff cheesecake. The dreamiest cheesecake ever. Also very accommodating when it came to bringing an assistance animal with us. Would absolutely return to Proove :)

Best pizza in Manchester! Very friendly and professional staff!!

Always good at prove, good quality and relatively cheap pizza.

Went last weekend after hearing positive things so thought we would give it a try. We were quickly sat down even though the place was quite busy given it was a Saturday night. The server who took our order was really nice and we thought we would have a good time. We got the olives to get us going, they were ok at best. Our garlic bread arrived but was burnt. We tried to eat it but it wasn’t edible. We told the waitress and she took it away and we asked for it to be taken off the bill as we didn’t want a replacement. At this point, they should have requested for our mains but this didn’t happen. We noticed that tables around us were getting food so we questioned the waitress and she said she would check on it but didn’t give us any feedback. We waited for a while and then asked what was happening and that if it was going to be much longer we would just leave. Eventually the mains arrived, two calzones and a couple of starters. One of calzones again was burnt so was sent back and had to wait again for another to be made. The calzone had a decent flavour but wasn’t worth the wait, the arancini was quite bland, little disappointing. When the bill arrived, it had a service charge included. We told the waitress, given the service hadn’t been great and the food kept arriving burnt, that we wanted it removed from the bill. She then went to remove it but we could see her complaining to other staff behind the bar about us refusing to pay service. Overall, the food isn’t worth the hipe and the service was mediocre at best.
