As mad as it sounds, this is no joke, as in honour of six successful years in Manchester, leading food delivery service Deliveroo has partnered with three of the rainy city’s most popular and best-loved pizza places to supply an exclusive range of discount meals in one of the biggest promotions it has ever run in the region.
Rudy’s, American Pies and Double Zero are all offering 6p dishes as part of these unmissable celebrations.
Iconic neapolitan pizzeria Rudy’s will be serving up a wide selection of its most popular pizzas for less than the price of a plastic bag, as will the city centre’s newest Chicago-style deep dish pizza joint, American Pies, and Chorlton’s cult-favourite, Double Zero.
In case you missed it, popular Manchester-based burger joints Solita, Yard & Coop, and Gourmet Burger Inc all kicked off the delivery service’s 6p birthday celebrations yesterday – and it’s safe to say it was a pretty popular event, with hungry Mancunians snapping up the day’s burger allocations in just under three minutes.

There’s only 200 pizzas available per restaurant today too, so you’ll need to be on it.
The selected dishes at each restaurant will be eligible for free delivery, and a service fee will be applied to each item (price varying depending on location).

All 6p menu items can be ordered via the Deliveroo app.
After yesterday’s popular demand, it’s been confirmed that Rudy’s will be opening just after 12pm today, American Pies at 12:30pm, and Double Zero at around 3pm. If a restaurant appears closed, it’s either because the item is sold out or the restaurant has temporarily paused accepting new orders to give them chance to catch up.
And if the chance to bag yourself some 6p pizza wasn’t enough, there’s also a competition currently running over on The Manc Eats Instagram page to give three lucky winners £200 worth of Deliveroo order credit.

Beloved Manc butty shop Bada Bing set for a sensational return to the city centre
Danny Jones
Sandwich lovers rejoice because one of the finest butty shops to ever grace Manchester is returning: that’s right, Bada Bing is bada-back!
The Sopranos-inspired deli and sandwich shop that took its name from one of the central locations featured in the iconic US drama (yes, the strip club), was a huge success when it first opened in Manchester a few short years ago, so it was a huge blow when it closed in February 2022.
Starting out by serving sandwiches out of a window at The B Lounge pub on Paton Street near Piccadilly, before moving to a small kitchen on Radium Street and eventually setting up their stall inside Ancoats General Store, they would regularly have lines around the block every lunchtime.
These Italian-American sarnies were so popular you’d often struggle to get your claws on one – and believe us, they really are a two-handed task – as they’d sell out on what felt like most days. But now, whether you were a regular or someone who missed out, there is hope once again:
Announcing their sensational return to a new site over in the Northern Quarter, which will now mark the fourth premises they’ve popped up at, Bada Bing is back with a bang and, as you can, they dropped the news with one of the best reveal videos we’ve ever seen.
If you know, you know…
Set to take over 125 Oldham Street, owners Sam Gormally and Meg Lingenfelter haven’t yet graced us with an opening date but the new unit should hopefully be open sooner rather than later.
The duo, who previously worked at fellow NQ favourite Another Heart to Feed, came up with the concept during lockdown and it didn’t take long for the idea to take off, nor for them to earn their spot amongst the very best sandwich places in Manchester.
Seriously, these things were so big and unwieldy (in the best way possible) that they even used to come with eating instructions: both hands and the trademark Tony Soprano hunch recommended, though the slightly stained wife-beater, boxer shorts and open dressing gown look is optional.
From slices of provolone cheese, all the thinly sliced Italian meats you could think of and the closest thing to actual ‘gabagool‘ as you’ll find in Greater Manchester, the menu was fitting of being served up to the iconic characters that once sat outside Satriale’s and a big approving grin from the man himself.
Simply put, we cannot wait and we will certainly keep you posted when we find out exactly when Bada Bing confirms their official reopening date.
Burger King is giving away free burgers to new drivers today
Emily Sergeant
Burger King will be giving away burgers to drivers who have recently passed their tests for free of charge today.
In case it wasn’t on your radar, tomorrow (Thursday 24 July) is actually National Drive-Thru Day, and in a bid to properly celebrate this unofficial holiday, Burger King has decided to hand out a bunch of freebies to newbies today.
The fast food chain is asking all new drivers to “buckle up”, head on down to their nearest Burger King drive-thru, and help themselves to a free burger.
All newly-qualified drivers will be able to take their pick from either the Whopper or Chicken Royale without parting ways with a penny, and all they’ll need to do the claim their freebie is simply show off their learner’s ‘L Plates’ to the staff at their local Burger King restaurant.

Hundreds of Burger King drive-thrus across the UK are taking part in the one-day promotion – including several across in Greater Manchester.
Although it might seem a little too good to be true, there’s a reason Burger King has chosen to dish out the freebies, and that’s because the company says it knows that one of the first activities newly-qualified drivers like do once they’ve passed their test is make a pit stop at a drive-thru with their mates to show off their new wheels and skills.
Sometimes though, navigating a drive-thru for the first time can be tricky, and this leaves new drivers feeling a bit like a rabbit in the headlights.
Luckily with this one-day Burger King offer, new drivers’ first drive-thru trip couldn’t be any easier.
The offer is available nationwide today (Wednesday 24 July) at Burger King drive-thru lanes only, while stock lasts, and newly qualified drivers must verbally mention “BK Plates” at the drive-thru lane to unlock their free burger.
