Ramona
Detroit-style pizza, craft beer, and DJs under a railway arch in NOMA.
Back to venues
Ramona took a railway arch in Sadler’s Yard and turned it into one of Manchester’s best nights out that also happens to serve incredible pizza. The concept is Detroit-style – thick, square, baked in blue steel pans so the cheese caramelises against the edges into crispy, golden lace. If you’ve never had Detroit pizza, this will ruin all other thick-crust pizza for you. The pepperoni cup and char is the one. The cheese goes right to the edges and gets that crunchy, almost burnt thing happening. It’s perfect.
But Ramona isn’t just a pizza place. The arch has been fitted out with a long taproom bar pouring craft beer and proper cocktails, a DJ booth that gets going from Thursday onwards, and a vibe that sits somewhere between Brooklyn warehouse party and Manchester Friday night. It gets loud. It gets busy. People come for the pizza and stay for the music. The space itself is brilliant – exposed brick, industrial lighting, that railway arch ceiling giving everything a sense of scale.
Good to Know
Book ahead for weekends. Walk-ins are possible early but you’re chancing it after eight. Around fifteen to twenty quid for pizza and a couple of beers.
