For those of us who grew up in the 80s and 90s around Manchester, the likelihood was your first taste of restaurant pizza came courtesy of a rather large, fat-soaked deep pan at Pizza Hut. Indeed, for many years, I thought that was just what all pizzas tasted like.
I've managed to expand my horizons a tad since then and consumed some of the best and wildest pizzas that Manchester, nay, the world can offer. Although to be fair I've never eaten one in the very home of pizza itself - the Italian city of Naples.
However Napoli has very handily just come direct to us here in Manchester of late. Because the Italian city's most famous pizza parlour has opened a quite extraordinary offshoot in the city centre.
