FIRST there was Yolo, the Black Dog basement themed around the Mexican Day of the Dead. Now comes late night, part-time pizza purveyors Crazy Pedro. Any day soon Ross Mackenzie, involved in both, may be renaming himself El Loco.
Ross, along with Liars Club head honcho Lyndon Higginson and business partner Jobe Ferguson are the men behind the Pedro project in the former Starbucks below the tiki dive bar in Motor Street (just off Bridge Street).
Opening mid-October, it will be making from scratch thin-based classic New York style pizzas, including weekly specials. They will be available in 16 inch, by the slice, or as palm-sized calzones and will be washed down with a selection of Tequila and Mezcal.
Lyndon Higginson says; Crazy Pedros is going to be the ideal pizza joint, it will have pizza that I can eat from midday when I wake up to 4am when I go to sleep. As a bartender the drinks will be just as important as the pizza so expect hard and soft shakes, frozen cocktails and more in Manchesters first Mezcaleria!
Crazy Pedros is a Part-Time Pizza Parlour because we originally planned to open the venue for just six months but the more we developed the concept we decided that it should be a permanent fixture rather than a pop-up. Hasta la pizza, baby!
It will be open daily from Midday til 4am serving pizza throughout.
