Pizza · Manchester
Set in a handsome old bank building on King Street, this branch feels a world away from the usual chain — dim lighting, booth seating, high ceilings and space enough that a pram isn't a problem. There are a couple of areas laid out for bigger groups, so birthday lunches work here. Staff are genuinely good with children: patient, chatty, and quick to check in without hovering. Food comes out hot and fast, which matters when someone's hungry and cross. One parent describes their pickiest eater asking to come back again and again. High chairs, a kids' menu and a strong vegan choice are all covered, plus a few outdoor tables. It stays cool on hot days and tables are cleared and reset properly between customers.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
Social darts with carnival decor and much-praised pizzas; high chairs and a kids' menu, though it turns loud and bar-led after dark.
