There’s a new Nell’s in town, this time over at MediaCity, serving up massive New York-style pizzas, karaoke, and shuffleboard.
The home-grown spot, brought to you by the team behind the Northern Quarter’s legendary Common bar, has branched out to Salford this week with a huge new pizzeria and bar.
They’re in a prime spot in MediaCity, with a wrap-around balcony terrace, three private karaoke booths, and even shuffleboard.
That’s in addition to the usual things that keep us all coming back to Nell’s time and time again, like those 22-inch pizzas, ice cream sandwiches, and a whopping great happy hour (£4.50 pints and £6 margs, Sunday to Friday 4–7pm, as well as £6 margs all day on Saturday).
The new Nell’s has views across MediaCity’s gardens and towards The Lowry and the Imperial War Museum, which you can enjoy either on the all-weather terrace or the funky, cosier inside.
As always, you can order Nell’s pizzas in 22-inch giants, or standard 14-inch pies, or just grab a huge slice from their smaller slice menu.
Wash that down with a tipple from their margarita menu, or a pint, and you’ve got yourself a formula that’s been winning hearts right across Greater Manchester.
This is the third stand-alone Nell’s site, joining Kampus and Altrincham, as well as taking over the kitchens at Common in the Northern Quarter and The Beagle in Chorlton.
Long may the expansion of the Nell’s empire continue.
Nell’s co-founder Jonny Heyes said: “We’ve been thinking about MediaCity for a long time, it’s such a great area and we’ve seen what brilliant operators like Kargo MKT have achieved, so when this space came up, we jumped on it!
“The venue is huge, which has given us the chance to really play with the experience.
“This idea of karaoke and shuffleboard accompanying our made-for-sharing pizzas and great cocktails feels like a natural next step for us as a brand.”
To celebrate its arrival at MediaCity, Nell’s is offering 50% off for an entire fortnight – booking is essential, and you can grab your table HERE.
