Remember what Pizza Express used to be like? Delicious pizzas in a variety
of rather well specified and clean resaurants with efficient staff. Well,
we were in Manchester with J from the Beeb and he said he knew the place
for lunch. He took us to Croma a very spacious and airy pizza place much
like I remember Pizza Express. 'Oh,' he said, 'I think the manager used
to run a Pizza Express place and has now set this one up on his own.' Anyhow
it was friendly, they were busy but found us a nice table quickly, the bogs
were exemplary, the service efficient and very quick and, yes, the food
was hot. We all had pizzas - proper big ones, done with fresh ingredients.
J had an 'English Pizza' which was sausage, eggs and bacon on a pizza base.
It looked funny to me but he said it was delicious. Decent wine and everything
a modest price. This place is right in the middle of Manchester and would
suit birthday groups, retirements, sackings and Christmas dos. Jolly good.
