Crazy Pedro’s
If you want to have great food without the hustle and bustle of booking a restaurant or buffet, Crazy Pedro’s is perfect for anyone looking for a relaxed date where you can eat pizza and drink cocktails to your heart’s content.
Price – The prices at Crazy Pedro’s are extremely fair for when you see the portion sizes of the food. Also with happy hour deals where food and cocktails are reduced it really is worth the money. For example, on Happy Hour it’s £10 for a family sized (16”) pizza.
Food – The food is phenomenal, their pizza is famously known in Manchester. If you hadn’t heard about them then you must be living under a rock. Adam Richmond (AKA man Vs Food) visited just to try some of the reputations of there pizza.
