Nell’s Pizza

Nell’s Pizza is where you’ll find a New York pizza in Manchester. This restaurant is the perfect city centre spot for catching up with friends and family, over a family sized pizza for all too share. Think thin crust you can pick up and fold, served in massive 14″ and 22″ formats, along with their signature ice cream sandwiches, served with craft beer, wine, and cocktails, 7 days a week.

A family run business, operated by husband and wife team Jonny and Charlotte Heyes. It is a real passion project, born from a love of pizza and the joy of making, and baking by hand. After identifying that most pizza available in the UK is Neapolitan style, the aim was for Nell’s to bring some diversity. Jonny developed the concept over 18 months, researching, trialling, and travelling around Brooklyn sampling the best slices that NYC had to offer.

Nell’s is, quite simply, about the best dough and the best ingredients, treated with care and attention. The dough is slow-fermented over 36 hours to allow for the perfect combination of strength for folding and lightness for enjoyment. They use 100% British organic flour from Shipton Mill, local cheese sourced from the Crafty Cheeseman, British meat from Littlewoods Butchers and charcuterie from London based, Cobble Lane Cured.

A big part of the drive behind Nell’s was to create a food business which was more gentle on the environment. Nell’s is an environmentally friendly model, using less power, creating less waste, using less meat and using local and responsible British suppliers.
