Who doesn’t love a freebie? Especially when it’s free pizza and a new opening to boot. Ahead of the opening of Manchester’s brand new food hall on First Street, House of Social, Mancs can get a peep inside this week as pizzeria Dough Religion opens their hatch there to sling out free slices of pizza.
What to expect at Dough Religion at House of Social
Dough Religion – a no-rules, big-flavour pizza joint and New York-inspired deli was born of a collaboration between Chef Chris Edwards and House of Social’s Jake Atkinson. Chris, the creative force behind the cult lockdown project The Waltzing Matilda boat – a floating wood fired pizzeria based on a canal boat throughout Greater Manchester and Cheshire now brings his next evolution of pizza to dry land.
Dough Religion will serve up giant 18-inch pizzas, whole or by the slice, alongside a full line-up of house-made subs, bagels, and a rotating selection of desserts and bakes. Diners can expect burrata-topped slices, vodka sauce pizza, fried-chicken Caesar hoagies, New York-inspired bakes and showstopping cheesecake. Toppings don’t hold back either – loaded with standout UK and Italian ingredients that bring some serious flavour to every slice.
How to get free pizza from Dough Religion
Dough Religion will be slinging open their hatch at House of Social (exact location – ///supper.puddles.maker) and slinging out free slices from 11.30am until they’re gone on Thursday 24th July. They’ll be showcasing a selection of their brand new flavour combinations such as Cheese ‘N’ onion pie and the infamous Waltzing Matilda “Swagman”, and they’re totally free.
When does House of Social officially open in Manchester?
House of Social food hall will open in August 2025 and will feature five unique kitchens, each offering their own unique cuisine. The kitchens include Dough Religion, cult London brand Burger & Beyond, Curry Mile legends Mughli, OK Taqueria from the team behind Gooey & Evelyn’s, and Choi Wan, offering a modern take on traditional Hong Kong cuisine.
