American Pies suffers gutting break-in at new restaurant in Ancoats
The recently unveiled American Pies restaurant over in Ancoats has suffered a gutting break-in barely a fortnight after opening their latest location.
Worse still, it’s not the only instance of late.
American Pies’ shiny new site over in Cutting Room Square opened earlier this month, delighting pizza fans ever since launch night, but the space was sadly broken into over the August bank holiday.
Sharing a brief statement on social media, the still bedding-in staff wrote: “Definitely not what we want to be posting but we’ve broken into for the second time in six weeks.”
As explained in the post, in addition to this most recent bit of vandalism, the brand also suffered a break-in and attempted robbery at their original city centre site on Mosley Street just over a month ago.
The pre-existing site, which has been serving up the best Chicago-style deep-dish pizza in Manchester since 2021, recently closed to make way for the upgraded venue and is currently sitting empty as they prepare to re-open it as another new spin-off.
We can’t tell you anything about what the old restaurant will become at the moment but let’s just say we’re very excited.
Put it this way, as the popular pizza spot is owned and operated by the beloved Brewksi brand, it’s hardly going to be anything else other than delicious, is it?

Most frustratingly as the post goes on to details, for the sake of security and stability in the meantime, the team are now accepting card-only payments for now.
“We can’t keep having our cash flow interrupted”, they continued; “We understand this makes it difficult for some customers but we feel like we don’t have much choice [at the minute].”
Nevertheless, they have received a wave of support online and the Manc foodie crowd made it clear they are well and truly behind “Team Pies” and, luckily, with support from the parent company, we have every faith they’ll bounce back stronger than ever as they have done before.
With their mainline food porn paradises down the road in Chorlton as well as Chester and Sheffield, Brewski has a lot of love all over the North, so we wish them all the best and hope their luck turns soon.
