“It’s only pizza – but it’s a good one”, agree fans of this Manchester niche pizzeria (one of four in the city), who “keep coming back for the most inventive pizza”. “Think PizzaExpress with attitude” – is pretty close to the mark, given that Croma is run by ex-PE staffers and has interiors by Enzo Apicella, a cartoonist and designer with more than 80 PE venues to his credit (and who would have turned 100 in June this year, had he not passed away in 2018).

The “always reliable” flagship branch of this small Manchester chain in “an airy city-centre location” is “busy at times so you may have to book”. Fans say it’s “how PizzaExpress would be in a perfect world” (well, it is run by two folks who used to work for PE, and the interior was designed by Enzo Apicella, who created over 80 PizzaExpress outlets in his lifetime).

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
