Double Zero

Excellent pizza! The best I’ve had outside Italy and certainly the best I’ve had in the Manchester area, including Rudy’s (which is also fantastic).
I went with my boyfriend on a Friday evening. We called a bit beforehand to try to reserve but unfortunately they take a limited number of reservations in order to save a few tables for walk-​ins. I was told that we would just have to show up and see, which was fine. When we arrived we were told it would be a 45 minute to an hour wait. We were okay with that and went to the bar next door (Strange Brew) to wait.
This restaurant is BYOB with a «corkage» fee (is it really called this in the UK given the general lack of corks?) of 10% of the total bill. We bought a bottle of wine at the supermarket across the street to enjoy with our meal and that won us a nice savings.
We returned after the specified wait time and there was a table ready for us. The restaurant has a rustic Italian vibe with an authentic wood fire stove. The staff was very friendly and we were well attended to. I had the special that night which consisted of a pizza with mushrooms, spinach, and ricotta cream sauce. It was FANTASTIC. My boyfriend ordered the roasted veggie calzone which was very good as well. The place was busy, but our food wasn’t long to arrive. Unfortunately we weren’t able to sample either the starters or desserts, which looked very good, as the portions are large. Both the pizza and calzone were £12.
TL;DR — FANTASTIC pizza, BYOB, reserve early or come expecting to wait a spell.
I will certainly be returning soon!

One of the better pizzas I’ve eaten in a while. We shared a ham and pineapple along with a sausage and roast potato which was as good as you should be thinking it sounds. It’s byob which we didn’t know but there’s a co-​op literally over the road so this didn’t cause me to halt my birthday drinking for more than a few minutes.
I kind of want to give it 4.5 stars as the pizza was a little too messy if you wanted to slice it up and eat it that way but 1. As mentioned this may be my fault as I was fairly drunk 2. I should probably be more classy anyway 3. The staff and service was very good and 4. I paid on card and then realised we had about 56p in change with which to leave a tip so I felt a little guilty afterwards. In the end though it was great and I’ll be heading back there very soon to sample more of the menu so yeah… full marks from me!

Great atmosphere, delicious food, friendly staff. I love this place! Before popping in I couldn’t tell if this was a restaurant or a pizza shop — for clarity, it’s a restaurant but you can order for takeaway. They don’t deliver though.
It was pleasantly busy on a Wednesday night at about 9pm, with two other tables of four and six, and us two. Staff brought over menus and gave us the heads up that it’s BYOB. They didn’t mention a corkage fee and I didn’t notice one on the bill, although another reviewer has said it’s 10%. We paid just over £35 for burrata, two (huge) pizzas, and tiramisu.
Burrata was excellent and came with parma ham, melon and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. The pizzas we ordered were the Tropical (ham and pineapple) and the Sarda (sausage, roast potato and rosemary). As Rich stated in his review they were a bit messy to eat. The base was a lot sturdier at the edge than in the middle so not really easy to pick up and eat by the slice. Perhaps if we’d gone for fewer toppings it might have been easier?
We shared both pizzas and the toppings were all delicious. Roast potatoes on a pizza is like my dream come true. We failed at finishing them and so they’re currently in the fridge waiting to be our lunch.
The tiramisu was on the small side but very rich and tasty. I enjoyed it a lot. Rich discovered that he does not, in fact, hate tiramisu, so that was a success.
Overall I really like and recommend this place and think it’s a wonderful addition to Chorlton.

A welcome addition to the chorlton scene.
The décor is rustic and pleasant with bright yellow leatherette seats. There’s outdoor seating at the front although it’s a bit squeezed in spots.
I had a siciliano pizza with fennel sausage and dollops of ricotta on a thin crispy base. I enjoyed mine, especially the sausage. My friend had primavera pizza with rocket and parmesan shaving. She enjoyed it but thought it was a bit too salty. We only had pizza as they’d run out of raspberry sorbet and also the Panna cotta. Strangely I wasn’t in the mood for chocolate tiramisiu, which puzzled me.
The service was very friendly but a bit scatty at times. He did seem pretty busy though. In fact considering it was a Monday at 8 the place was pretty full.

I’ve eaten at 00 twice in the last month and it is really rather good. The décor is pleasingly rustic with pots of herbs on the tables and assorted random items of décor — old petrol cans, bits of machinery and cameras. Odd, but it works. There’s an impressive Italian wood fired oven at the back where the magic happens.
The pizzas are formed by hand as ordered, all in plain sight. Cooked in 90 seconds. They are large, with a chewy edge and thin base. There’s a good choice of quality toppings and you can add extras. There are starters but I’ve not tried them as the pizza is enough for me — and I have an appetite! We shared a splendid tiramisu last time which was small but perfectly formed. Bring your own wine is always a bonus (10% corkage). Friendly and efficient service but slower at busy times as you would expect.
There’s no waiting area if you are early, but with bars up and down the parade of shops, that’s not really a problem.
A great little restaurant with very very good pizzas.

Double Zero is by far one of the best pizzas I’ve eaten outside of Napoli. First things first, though. Double zero is a grade in the Italian system of grading the fineness of flour that is used to make pizza, pasta etc. The numbers are 2, 1, 0 and 00 from coarsest to finest (in case you’re interested).
OK, now, the place. Double Zero has been done up to give it a rustic, rural Italian feel. It appears all their ingredients come from Italy. They have the pizza oven specially imported from Italy. The pizza maker is Italian also. They don’t do alcoholic drinks there but they have a bring your own booze policy and they have some sort of a corking charge, which is 10% (of the total bill, I presume).
We were a group of five adults and we ordered, cheese & garlic breads and focaccia for starter, and two margaritas, a primavera, a calzone and another pizza whose name I can’t remember. The breads and the focaccia were fluffy and had a very pleasant texture to them. My cheese & garlic bread came out burnt (but that’s only cos my Italian friend was busy distracting the chef). Told the waiter about the burnt bread and got another one, cooked to perfection (after exactly however long it takes to do that).
The pizzas and the breads were made in front of our eyes (a few feet away) and from what I saw, the chef wasn’t using excessive flour to counter the extra moist dough (which is always a good sign). If I am not being very clear, next time you order a dominos pizza, if you observe carefully, you will see little grains of baked flour resembling fine grains of sand. There was none of that on our pizzas.
The margaritas were very well made, the sauce was neither too sweet nor too sour, the cheese was rich and flavoursome and the crust was well cooked and easily tearable with a fork and a knife. It was neither hard that meant your knife landed in the neighbouring table nor was it so elastic that you played a cheap imitation of a Beethoven symphony with the knife and the plate. The crust was cooked to perfection! I must also mention that the pizza felt baked as opposed to fried, which can happen sometimes when they add oil to the dough. Basically, the food was fantastic.
The service was pretty decent and we had a waiter who was friendly, patient and polite. All the other staff were very friendly too. They also accept card payments and you can get a take out. They don’t do deliveries.
Based on tonight’s experience I definitely recommend Double Zero.
As with everywhere else, I sincerely hope they continue to make Neapolitan quality pizzas and retain the very good levels of service we were subjected to tonight.
