Pizza & Potato Factory

What a name. I visited the Pizza and Potato Factory last time I was in Oldham and it’s a genius idea for people like me who never go down the kebab or fried chicken route. Nope, here be marvellous pizzas, fantabulous chips and baked potatoes that crisp up on the outside and offer fluffy gorgeousness in the middle.
Mmm.
And the fourteen inch garlic bread pizza with cheese is more than legendary, and with a variety of food on offer including chicken burgers on toasted muffins it’s definitely a cut above your average post-​midnight tipsy snacker. I’d certainly recommend a spud or two from there.

This is a special take away place in Oldham, in all aspects of the word. Had an amazing baked potato from here: its their speciality. Good selection of toppings, a baked potato is sometimes just what you need on a freezing October night as it was when I succumbed and chucked my tinfoiled sandwiches in the bin.
Handily open till 1am every night, they do pizzas here too as you might have guessed and they deliver to the lovely (read lazy) residents of Oldham.
I know baked potato might not always be your first choice when you’ve had a drink but over the years I have whittled my favourites down to a) chips, cheese and gravy when REALLY drunk, b) Cheese on toast at home when middle drunk and c) baked potato at most other times — sober through to tipsy. It just doesn’t make me hang my head in shame the next morning.
