If you ask any Manchester based pizza lover for their top 5 pizzerias in the city, then you can be pretty certain that the name 'Nells' will be mentioned by most, and for good reason.   Nell's have become the go to for their NY Style pizzas, sporting superb bases finished with a huge selection of fun toppings.  And to celebrate the romantic season, Nell's have launched their new Valentine's specials menu, entitled 'Dill Death Do Us Part', which features a cluster of pickle inspired offerings. 

Said menu is headlined by the PCKLD pizza which is topped with garlic cream and mustard sauce, smoked Lancs cheese, red onion, crispy onion, chives and pickles.  Lots, and lots, of pickles!  It's available in either 14" (£13), or for those with a more hefty appetite, the enormous 22" (£31) signature which Nells have become famous for.

To accompany the pizzas, Nells have your back with a selection of pickle inspired bevvies too, including stunning Pickled Margs (£9.5), and Stiff Tee Brewing Co Hard Kombucha (£5.5), on top of a couple of more straight up alcoholic options such as their Pickleback or Tickleback (both £4).  Some say that you can't have too much pickle, and I agree.

Half way into the meal, one of the team received a photo from a colleague, who on the back of a mid-meal WhatsApp chat had with us has also decided to grab a takeaway PCKLD Pizza from her local Nell's in Chorlton, so the good word has already spread super fast!

But before heading off we declared that any visit to Nell's has to end with a takeaway ice cream sandwich to be enjoyed on the way back to the car, which still turned out to be a joy despite the weather outside being as cold as the freezer that the sandwiches had come from!

The Nell's Valentine's special pickled selection is available until February 22nd, so be sure to get yourself down to any branch of Nell's before you miss out.
