Manchester is home to a wealth of fantastic pizza spots, with names like Nell’s, Double Zero, and Rudy’s standing out. However, one lesser-known gem, Black Spot Pizza, is quietly making a name for itself in Heaton Mersey, just outside the city center.
For the past few years, Black Spot Pizza has been serving some of the city’s best pizzas in a stylish dining room and bar. The restaurant takes its dough seriously, having tested hundreds of recipes before landing on their 48-hour proved version. The result is a dough that is not only visually stunning with a perfectly charred crust but also light, airy, and packed with the right balance of bitterness that comes with a well-made Neapolitan crust.
The menu offers classic choices like Margherita, marinara, and pepperoni, but also more adventurous options like jerk chicken and shredded spiced lamb. The lamb pizza, topped with mango chutney, raita, and coriander, provides a flavorful and surprising fusion of flavors that proves it’s okay to step away from tradition when done right.
A mushroom pizza, while more traditional, was equally impressive, featuring three types of mushrooms enhanced by truffled caramelized onions for a rich, indulgent touch.
The restaurant’s interior is a blend of vintage dark wood panelling and deep navy textiles, creating a sophisticated space that feels straight out of Mad Men. Black Spot Pizza also boasts a solid cocktail menu, with both classic drinks and their own unique twists. Their Espresso Martini, featuring dark chocolate and orange, stands out as one of the city’s best.
For pizza lovers, Black Spot Pizza offers incredible deals. Every Saturday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., guests can enjoy pizzas for just £8. Additionally, a post-9 p.m. happy hour on Fridays and Saturdays offers £6 cocktails.
With exceptional pizza, cocktails, and unbeatable value, Black Spot Pizza is a must-visit in Heaton Mersey.
