Double Zero

An authentic Neapolitan-style pizzeria, Double Zero in Chorlton has been lauded as one of the best in the UK. What’s more, it’s BYOB. Top pizzas and your own wine make this place just about perfect.

The menu is confident simplicity with the pizza taking centre-stage of course. There’s also a tempting bunch of nibbles, like those chunky, green nocellara olives or interestingly topped crostini if you want something more substantial.

It’s the pizza you’re here for though, that black-speckled, bubble-crusted beauty that you have come to know and love, made on site with a blast (90 seconds max) in their Dantean blue and white tiled furnace.

Look out for Italian specialities amongst the toppings, like melting nduja (spicy salami), friarielli (a skinny, spinachy-broccoli for fans of iron-rich green oomph) and scamorza (a smokey Italian cheese, like a stringier mozzarella).

Vegan cheese is an option, and there’s a kid’s pizza and juice meal deal.

The interior is modern and chic with sulphur-yellow leather seating, white tiles and wooden everything else. Sitting outside on a sunny day is sure to leave you feeling all is well with the world.

Double Zero is at the top of its game, and always busy, so booking is advised.
