Pizza la Citta

Ah Pizza la Citta.
This is a go to for me following many a late night session.
I know… the reviews are not so good and my 3 stars do not exactly leave you gasping for breath, but to be fair they always look after me here.
On most occasions, when I visit I go for the cheeseburger or chicken kebab (not to keen on the donner — after a friend explained the process for attaining the slab of ‘meat’)
Anywhoose, on entry they always ask me if I would like a cab/​taxi home as it is normally around 12am or later when I visit…
This is very much welcomed and I think the firm they use give a small discount as it is always cheaper than when I phone myself! (win, win) mini-​fist pump!
I am always impressed with the array of salad and additional add-​ons to the burger or kebab (no extra charge) and even more impressed when I get home to find they have given me additional fries and onion rings — what’s not to like?
I will call back and report again soon… mmm, tonight even (will see)
Give it a try if your passing folks and let them know Andy sent ya!
Bön Appetite! :-)

I’m a massive pizza fiend so when we moved to an apartment close to La Citta, I almost cried with excitement. Sad, I know.
Alas, my first experience of this takeaway joint wasn’t as amazing as I’d hoped. I guess it’s purely a matter of taste and I’m not quite sure what I was expecting but the pizza just wasn’t up to scratch.
Lacking in flavour and perhaps a bit too thin in the crust department, my pepperoni left my wishing i’d ordered a side of chips.
However, flavourless food doesn’t seem to have put anyone else off as the place always seems to be occupied, mainly with those on their way home after a few scoops at The Black Lion, a few doors down. Perhaps that’s the key to enjoying food at La Citta — just add alcohol and it tastes amazing?
Hmmm. I may give it another go some time but for now I’ll just keep walking. That’s a much healthier option, after all.

Takeaway pizza — naughty or nice? Well, obviously it’s naughty, but god it tastes nice.
We frequent Pizza la Citta whenever we fancy a pizza; nowhere else will do. A short walk from home and halfway between us and town, it’s the perfect spot to pop in when one of you just fancies a treat!
It’s your standard takeaway establishment, but it’s never overcrowded by underdressed drunks (Gemini takeaway, I’m looking at you!) so you know you’ll get served almost immediately. Service is usually friendly and these guys take some time over your food.
We tend to go in for a meal deal — 1×10 inch pizza with 3 toppins, 1×10 inch garlic bread, fries and two cans of drink for £8.95. Add in some onion rings for good measure, as they are delicious, and you’re all set for a great night in. Due to the boyf’s recently revealed hatred for chicken on pizza, we compromised with sweetcorn, sausage and ham. The toppings are always well distributed and the garlic bread thin and crispy. The fries are actually pretty good for a takeaway, especially as there are crispy bits involved, and did I mention the onion rings?
So, what’s for tea tonight?

This establishment was higly reccomended but to our disapointment failed to live up to our expectations. The staff were extremely rude and delivered the incorrect order.
When we rang the restaurant to explain the discrepency they couldn’t have cared less and tried to excuse the matter on the grounds that they were ‘busy’ when in fact there was only one other person in the restaurant at that time. When requesting a solution they were very dismissive and rude.
Would 100% not recommend this establishment to others.

I am always a fan of a pizza place who can get my dairy-​intolerado amigo’s order right. Pizza without cheese shouldn’t be so hard to do, right? Wrong!
Anyway, this was our most successful non-​cheesy take away yet, and it was the nicest cheeseless pizza I think I have ever tasted. And to be fair, I was tempted into trying a slice or two after I’d vowed not to just from the look of the things. The base was a little crispy — just how I like it, and a 3 pizza deal cost just £12. I highly recommend the spicy chilli chicken pizza with jalapeños if you’re a fiery one like myself. Good stuff!

Well, talk about clever. This little pizza takeout could not be in a more perfect location — Chapel Street is such a main route for commuting to and from the city centre on foot and you pretty much HAVE to walk past here. If the comforting smells of garlic and tomato aren’t enough to lure you in, you clearly had too much for lunch.
Sophie’s absolutely right, this place looks way cleaner and fresher than a lot of the pizza and late night takeouts we come across in the city. And the fact that there’s something fancier on the menu than mere pepperoni, ham and pineapple or margharita tells you everything you need to know — heck, you can even get fiorentinas here, the one with egg, and romanas with red onion, pepperoni and mushroom. There are three sizes to choose from; ten, twelve or sixteen inch, and if you order a sixteen inch pizza with three or more toppings, they’ll throw in a free cheesy garlic pizza bread for you. Can’t say fairer than that.
The chips are super duper and the list of extra toppings smacks of quality. You can get spinach, goat’s cheese, feta cheese and black olives for instance… very snazzy. You can easily get enough food for three for £20 or less. I know this. I had my drinking buddies with me. Perfect to stop-​off on the way home and even worth travelling to.

Delicious pizzas! And good chips too! Choose from 10″, 12″ or 16″ (if you get a 16″ with 3 or more toppings you get a free cheesy garlic bread too), from your normal ham and pineapple to a more fancy fiorentina. I always think that the list of extra toppings says a lot about a pizza place, and this one includes feta cheese, goat’s cheese, black olives and spinach, so it gets 5 stars in my book.
We had a romana pizza (red onion, pepperoni and mushroom) — really tasty, heaps of cheese and a lovely tangy tomato sauce, a fiorentina (the one with the egg on), two portions of chips and a garlic bread for under £20 (it was between three of us, we’re not that porky, honest). Bargain.

Grabbed a pizza from this friendly looking Italian pizza place the other day. I had just finished work, was starving and knew I’d have a long walk to the bus on Deansgate plus long queueing time. Like the child that I am, I had also figured that since my mother was on a business trip I would be fending for myself that evening.
So a pizza with lots of peppers and things on from Pizza la Citta (take out and delivery) was just the ticket. Italian heavy décor and colours, it looks a lot nicer than other take outs I have frequented yet in terms of layout/​menu pictures it differed only slightly. It just seemed cleaner and nicer to me.
Prices were reasonable and the pizza came out really quickly. There were a few other people in the shop and up till this point I had always seen people in there on my walk home and envied them. Now I was one of the beautiful people — well, I had a beautiful pizza anyway.
