Rudy’s Pizza

This Italian pizzeria does one of the best pizzas in Manchester.

Based in Ancoats, they do authentic Italian wood fired pizzas. The pizzas are simple as they don’t have a wind range of choice for toppings, but this lack of option definitely makes up for itself in the quality of them.

A 14inch margarita pizza will set you back just £5.80.

You can pick from a variety and bagels and toppings, and choose to either sit in or if you are in a rush – take out. A meal deal, which includes a bagel, some crisps and a drink will set you back just less than £5.

Almost Famous

Almost Famous is by far the most famous burger bar in Manchester. The restaurant has energetic feel with a cool interior.

There is lots of weirdly named burgers to choice from. Most of which come jam packet full of meat and vegetables, some of which are so large that it would be better to share. The only downside is that none of the dishes come with fries, meaning you have to order them separately adding to the price. However the fries here come severed in a large basket that is definitely made for sharing.

The top price you will pay for burger here is £10.50.
