Some might say there’s too many pizzerias in Manchester but when it comes to top pizzas in the city, particularly of the Neapolitan variety, Manchester is split between Rudy’s and Chorlton’s Double Zero. For those who can’t enough of the latter’s beautifully-puffed up crusts and gorgeous toppings (all pizzas are sprinkled with parmesan, which gets a thumb’s up from us) then you’re in luck as the restaurant on Barlow Moor Road is opening a new location in Manchester city centre.
Announcing the news on social media of a brand new Manchester location last year, Double Zero said: “We’re really happy to share with all our customers that we will be expanding to Fountain Street in Manchester City Centre. We are over the moon and will be giving you updates on when we will be opening at some point over the coming months and we simply can’t wait.”
The new city centre location will opening its doors from March 29 and will be located right in the heart of Manchester at Spring Gardens, not far from the likes of Manchester food and drink spots Six by Nico and Black Sheep Coffee. However, unlike its Chorlton site, the restaurant will not be BYOB but will have a fancy bar in Double Zero’s signature palate of white, yellow and black, serving beers, wines and cocktails.
The nine-year old Chorlton institution, Double Zero, prides itself on authenticity from the dough, which is made on-site daily using only four ingredients, to the wood-fired oven brought in from Naples. Plus, the pizzeria is a go-to for the gluten intolerant since its one of very few pizza restaurants in the Manchester area which offers freshly made gluten-free pizza and garlic bread.
Double Zero is also home to the Mezzaluna, half calzone, half pizza with ham, mushroom and mortadella it’s the hybrid you never knew you needed. Double Zero recently won the accolade of ‘Best Pizza’ at the Deliveroo Restaurant Awards 2024, and have already launched delivery from their city centre branch.
Tables are available to book here.
You can soon find Double Zero Pizzeria at 55 Spring Gardens, Manchester, M2 2BY.
