Crazy Pedro’s Manchester Bridge St

Describing itself as a full-time party bar and part-time pizza parlour, Crazy Pedro’s is hot on super-chilled drinks, from frozen margaritas to ice cold beers. It’s also the place to head if you haven’t settled the Hawaiian-pizza-isn’t-a-real-pizza argument.

Each the brainchild of the Crazy Pedro’s team, aside from a couple of classic toppings, you can get your mitts on pulled pork and jalapeños pizza, cheese and Monster Munch pizza, and ‘not’ chicken nuggets and waffle vegan pizza (Can’t Cluck, Won’t Cluck!, geddit?). Ham and pineapple not so weird now, huh?

The dough is made fresh every day and you get to choose from pizza slices or whole 16 inchers. Too much pizza? Check out the nachos – tortilla chips loaded with guacamole, sour cream, jalapeños, Sriracha sauce and Jack cheese. Order ‘ridiculous’ and be prepared for its trashcan lid presentation – up the game further by getting your choice of pizza chopped up and chucked in. Because why wouldn’t you?

We love to party all the time, the Pedro’s website announces, and with those frozen margs coming in various fruity flavours, and even sharer servings, alongside some more unusual cocktails, this probably isn’t the backdrop for bashing out those end-of-year accounts. Crazy Pedro’s also reckons to have Manchester’s largest mezcal and tequila selection, and, with the drinks menu split into agave and not agave sections, who are we to argue? Open seven days a week, the good times roll from midday right through to 4am.
