Croma, Manchester is a smart,
yet inexpensive little Italian specialising in pizza with a few other delights.
I loved this little place while I was living in Manchester as a student, and
when I visited the city again recently, I was pleased to find the lunch here is
still as good as it was back in 2003.
My suggested lunch would be
a classic Americana pizza – topped with pepperoni, mozzarella and tomato, it is
always a winner and is a bargain to boot at only £6.85 for a 10-inch, hand
stretched pizza that is incredibly satisfying.
Cooked in the on-site pizza
oven, the base is exactly as it should be crisp, crunchy, delicious and the
toppings are generous too.
I’ve also tried the Roasted
Vegetable, Cotto and the Parma which have all been good although I’ve not been
tempted by some of their more unusual toppings such as peking duck and tandoori
chicken! If you have indulged in any of these ‘alternative’ toppings do let me
know your thoughts! I’m much more of a classic when it comes to my pizza.
Now, as I’m always a visitor
to the city these days, it always feels a bit like a holiday or a jaunt so I
make no apology for the fact that I’m also going to suggest the Croma Espresso Martini which
is simply gorgeous – if you have a sweet tooth for drinks like myself then this
is for you. It comprises vanilla vodka, which I love anyway topped with Tia
Maria and of course an espresso – frankly it is the perfect accompaniment to a
leisurely lunch.
